He is very mysterious and seems to waver between being a friend or being a foe depending on his appearance, although he has always been depicted with a strong sense of honor and seems to seek good ends. When he battles [[Kirby]], he usually gives Kirby a sword. |

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 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. Also unique is an eagle-like character and a sailor [[Waddle Dee]] who pilot ''The [[Halberd]]''. |

In the Orange Ocean level, he guarded a [[Star Rod]] piece. Occasionally, he sent the Meta-Knights after Kirby 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. However, it is likely 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. |

Intent on | + | Meta Knight made his return in ''Revenge of Meta Knight'', one of the games in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. Intent on destroying Dream Land's lazy life style, Meta Knight flew his ship, ''The Halberd'', to conquer the land. Kirby managed to destroy the ship's main engine, and and both Kirby and Meta Knight proceeded to escape before the ship fell into the ocean. 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. |

However, Meta Knight's Mirror World self, Dark Meta Knight, captured him. Dark Meta Knight disguised himself as the real Meta Knight and battled Kirby. When Kirby rescued Meta Knight, Meta Knight loaned Kirby his sword to defeat [[Dark Mind]]. After Kirby managed to defeat Daroach in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Meta Knight stole the treasure 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 to have Daroach claim the prize once more. 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. |
− | + | 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. | |

− | + | 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]]''. | |

He is among the few surviving Star Warriors from the war with Nightmare and with his Meta-Knights becomes one of 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 battles of Nightmare, and 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''. |
