'''Dark Matter Clone''' is a [[boss]] encountered near the end of [[Meta Knightmare Returns]] in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. It is a clone made by [[Star Dream]] based on [[Dark Matter|Dark Matter Blade]], and as such, it fights much like Dark Matter does in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''. Its appearance is nearly identical to the real article, but its eye has an orange bull's-eye pattern rather than a proper iris and sclera.

*When defeated, the clone dissolves into the purple goo it once formed from. Just before it explodes, it briefly takes the shape of Real Dark Matter, its true form.

*The text that appears before fighting Dark Matter Clone in [[The True Arena]] in the American English version calls it '''Dark Matter Blade''' rather than "Dark Matter Clone". Given that its Japanese name is '''クローン剣士ダークマター''' (''Clone Swordsman Dark Matter''), it can be assumed that the full name is '''Dark Matter Blade Clone''' and it was simply abbreviated due to character limits. In the British English version, it is referred to as "Dark Matter Clone" instead of "Dark Matter Blade" in both The True Arena rest area and during the battle itself.
