'''Meta Knight''' is a supporting character appearing throughout the [[Portal:Kirby|''Kirby'' series]] as one of its main recurring cast. He is very mysterious and seems to waver between being a friend or being a foe depending on his appearance. He has always been depicted with a strong sense of honor and seems to seek out what he thinks is best. When he battles [[Kirby]], he usually gives Kirby a sword.

Not much is known about Meta Knight's background. In the past, he has fought both against and alongside Kirby. He wears a blue cloak and a light gray mask as well as shoulder pads with his personal emblem: a M with a sword in the middle. When the cloak and mask are removed, Meta Knight is shown to be creature that resembles a blue version Kirby with white markings, implying that they are of the same species. Meta Knight leads a small army with several unique characters. The most important of these characters are the [[Meta-Knights]]. The Meta-Knights are made up of Meta Knight himself as well as Meta Axe, Meta Mace, Meta Lance, and Meta Droid. The Meta-Knights refer to their leader as Sir Meta Knight. His forces also include an eagle-like character and a sailor [[Waddle Dee]] who pilot the [[Halberd]].

Meta Knight first appeared as a boss in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' (as well as the remake ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland]]''). In the Orange Ocean level, he guarded a [[Star Rod]] piece. He sent the Meta-Knights after Kirby at different points throughout the level. At the end of the level, he and Kirby dueled with swords. Later in the game, he had a change of heart and helped Kirby by giving him a special Invincibility candy. It was possible that Meta Knight's motives in trying to stop Kirby from fixing the Star Rod were pure, as he might have been aware that [[Nightmare]] was sealed within the Star Rod. In the ''Nightmare in Dreamland'' remake, there was also an alternate version of the game called "Meta Knightmare" which starred Meta Knight as the playable character instead of Kirby and was unlocked by completing the main game with 100%.

Meta Knight made his return in ''Revenge of Meta Knight'', one of the games in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. Intent on challenging Dream Land's laidback lifestyle, Meta Knight flew his ship, the Halberd to conquer the land. Kirby managed to destroy the ship's main engine, and both Kirby and Meta Knight proceeded to escape before the ship fell into the ocean. Meta Knight also appeared in ''[[Kirby's Avalanche]]'' as the twelfth opponent faced by Kirby and the second-to-last one in the game (with the final one being Dedede).

In the ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' version, Meta Knight battles through his own version of the ''Super Star'' games known as ''Meta Knightmare Ultra'' in his quest to become the strongest warrior in the universe. At the end of his version of Milky Way Wishes, instead of fighting [[Marx]] (likely because this takes place after Kirby's version of Milky Way Wishes), he asks the revived Nova to let him fight the strongest warrior in the universe, leading to Nova summoning the deadly [[Galacta Knight]], whom Meta Knight was able to best.

When evil threatened the Mirror World in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Meta Knight was the first to helpl, but he was soon captured his own Mirror World self, [[Dark Meta Knight]]. Dark Meta Knight disguised himself as the real Meta Knight and battled Kirby. When Kirby rescued the real Meta Knight, he loaned Kirby his sword for his battle with [[Dark Mind]]. After Kirby managed to defeat [[Daroach]] in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Meta Knight stole the treasure that they were battling for and escaped through a door sealed by five colored stars. Kirby collected them and followed Meta Knight to Secret Sea and then onto the Halberd. As the ship sailed into Gamble Galaxy, Kirby and Meta Knight battled once more, only for Daroach to reclaim the prize. In truth, the chest did not contain ultimate power, as Daroach believed, or cake as Kirby thought. It contained [[Dark Nebula]], and Meta Knight had been trying to prevent its release.

In ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', he appeared as a playable racer, who could be unlocked by accumulating 30 minutes of glide time or by opening 1000 boxes in City Trial. He was also included as a playable character in ball form in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', where he had no storyline role, but he could be unlocked by purchasing him for 25 medals. He was shown to be faster and lighter, at the cost of having low HP. Meta Knight also appeared in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', where he was ambushed by [[Yin-Yarn]] aboard the Halberd and sent to Patch Land. There he was controlled by yarn and forced to act as the boss of Space Land, being the final boss faced in Patch Land. Kirby and [[Prince Fluff]] defeated him, at which point Meta Knight apologized for his actions and warned him about Yin-Yarn's plans to conquer Dream Land. They then returned to Dream Land, after which Meta Knight only briefly showed up in the final battle to drop a Tankbot metamortex for Kirby.

He was absent from the main game of ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', but he appeared made appearances as a boss in two of the game's sub-games: Strato Patrol SOS (as the second-to-last boss) and Kirby Quest (where he was faced in the third chapter and possibly the fourth chapter, unless a Galaxia Knight fight was unlocked instead). In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', Meta Knight joined Kirby and the others in their quest to help and later defeat [[Magolor]]. He could be controlled by other players when playing mutiplayer.

==As an Unlockable Character==
  
==The 3DS/Wi U/Switch Era==
+
Meta Knight has been an unlockable character in several different games. In ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland]]'', he was available in a special version of the game called ''Meta Knightmare'' (a precursor to ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'''s ''Meta Knightmare Ultra'' mode) if the game was beaten with 100% completion. In ''[[Kirby's Air Ride]]'', Meta Knight is one of the unlockable rides. He's also an unlockable character in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]''.
 
 
In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', Meta Knight was regulated to a series of cameo appearances. He was seen in the audience during the 100% ending, and his image also appeared on a circus balloon and as one of the statues that Stone Kirby could turn into. His color scheme and mask could also be worn in the sub-games Kirby Fighters and Dedede's Drum Bash, respectively.  
 
 
 
In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', Meta Knight made an attempt to fend off the invasion of the [[Access Ark]], but he was thwarted when the other ship managed to shoot down the Halberd. He was transformed by them into a cyborg known as Mecha Knight. As Mecha Knight, he fought Kirby and was defeated. He was later brought back to fight Kirby as an improved version known as Mecha Knight+, but he was defeated again. Once Kirby shattered his mask, Meta Knight was restored to normal. He lent Kirby the use of the Halberd and helped in the final battle. Afterwards, it was implied that he helped Kirby to land safely on the ground. Meta Knight later appeared as a playable fighter in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', where he could be unlocked by having save data from the game's demo on the same system or by completing the Cake Royale.
 
 
 
Meta Knight was later corrupted by a [[Jamba Heart]] and acted as the third boss in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. He was fought at a stage called Sacred Square. His battle consisted of several phases, which included splitting into several copies of himself. After being defeated, Meta Knight's mask would break, and he would retreat. However, Kirby could also throw a Friend Heart at him to recruit him as a Dream Friend, who would help Kirby in his journey.
 
 
 
==Bonus Appearances==
 
 
 
One recurring trend in ''Kirby'' games has been an unlockable secondary mode in which the player plays as Meta Knight throughout the events of the game. In most cases, the game's events are altered to reflect the playable character being Meta Knight, and those versions of events do not seem to be canon.
 
 
 
*Meta Knightmare (''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''): An alternate version of ''Nightmare in Dream Land' (itself a remake of ''Kirby's Adventure'') which is unlocked by beating the main game with 100% completion. The game is mostly unchanged, even down to another Meta Knight appearing in Meta Knight's role from the original game.
 
*Meta Knightmare Ultra ("[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''): This mode consisted of Meta Knight playing through most of the different games from ''Super Star Ultra'', and he could accumulate Meta Points that could be spent to activate certain skills for Meta Knight (Meta Quick, Heal, Summon Knight and Mach Tornado). In this quest, he was on a quest to become the strongest warrior. Rather than fighting [[Marx]], Meta Knight ended up asking [[Nova]] to grant him a worthy opponent. Nova responded by summoning the deadly [[Galacta Knight]], who acted as Meta Knight's final opponent.
 
*Meta Knightmare Returns (''Kirby: Planet Robobot'') This mode is an alternate version of ''Planet Robobot'' with Meta Knight as the main character. Once again Meta Points are used, with the skills this time being Meta Quick, Healing, Galaxia Darkness and Meta Knightmares. Mecha Knight is replaced by a Stock Mecha Knight in his version of the game, and the final enemies are shown to be copies of [[Dark Matter]], [[Queen Sectonia]] and finally Galacta Knight.

*Meta Knight appeared as a supporting character throughout the ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' anime series. He is among the few surviving Star Warriors from the war with Nightmare. He and his Meta-Knights become King Dedede's servants in hopes that Dedede's love of monsters would draw in a young Star Warrior capable of defeating Nightmare, which it eventually does in the form of Kirby. Throughout the series, he trains Kirby in order to prepare him for the coming battle with Nightmare. Although he is more clearly an ally of Kirby in this canon, he is sometimes more aloof in order to help Kirby to become more independent and stronger. In the series finale, it was shown that he was secretly constructing the Halberd in order to battle Nightmare. Meta Knight lacks his wings from the games in this adaptation. However, his sword was named Galaxia in the anime, which influenced the sword's name in ''Brawl'' and later ''Kirby'' games.
