Kirby who is meta knight

Upon entering the ship, they meet an alien, Magolor , who apparently needs help finding its missing ship parts. Kirby volunteers to help, and the rest, including Meta Knight, assist him in finding the ship parts. After they find the ship parts, Magolor takes the four to his homeworld Halcandra , where he requests that they defeat Landia after the dragon shoots them out of the sky. However, after Landia is defeated, Magolor is revealed to be evil and escapes to the Another Dimension.

In a cutscene depicting this event, Meta Knight is shown using his skills with his sword to attempt to fend off Magolor's attacks while pursuing him, but eventually falls to the battlefield to fight him instead. Gameplay-wise, Meta Knight uses his sword to fight. His fighting style is almost identical to Sword Kirby's abilities, and appears to be similar to his techniques in Super Smash Bros.

Meta Knight also uses his wings to fly in a similar fashion to Wing Kirby. Meta Knight appears in the opening scene for Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition , first appearing in his 8-bit form from Kirby's Adventure , then in his modern at the time appearance from Kirby's Return to Dream Land. In addition to his appearances in the games in the collection that feature him, he also makes a few appearances in some of the episodes of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

In the opening cutscene of Kirby: Planet Robobot , Meta Knight, standing silently and wrapped in his cloak up to that point, notices as a giant spaceship piloted by the Haltmann Works Company approaches Popstar. He promptly sends the Halberd after it to try and deter them, but is shot down before he can even begin the attack.

Later, it is revealed that Meta Knight was captured by the company, and mechanized by them, becoming Mecha Knight. After being freed by Kirby, he then brings the Halberd back around and has Kirby use the Robobot Armor to fuse with the entire battleship in order to take on the final boss of the game.

In addition, his mask looks much heavier, with the visor protruding a fair distance off his face. As a final touch, when his mask breaks, his eyes are now yellow, as opposed to white as they had been prior, and he does not possess blush, matching the 'maskless Meta Knight' palette swap of Kirby in Super Smash Bros.

Meta Knight is playable in the Sub-Game Meta Knightmare Returns , where he battles through the main world in a long time attack run and fights tougher versions of the bosses therein. At the end, instead of facing Star Dream , he battles three different bosses in succession. He can be seen observing the games at first, but then ends up taking part in the tournament himself, challenging Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee at the end of the Gold League. He is partnered up with Axe Knight.

At some point, he is possessed by the villains' magic, and Kirby is forced to fight him as a boss. Upon his defeat, Meta Knight reforms and becomes an ally. Kirby will be forced to pick up the Sword ability before fighting Meta Knight, like in the older games in the series.

In the following two situations, however, Meta Knight will become irritated and kick away the sword, featuring a different splash screen:.

Meta Knight often guards so that he takes no damage at all, often signaled when he takes a defensive stance. His sword-based attacks can be interrupted by the Sword ability including Friends like Blade Knight , which creates a sword clashing effect and stuns him for a bit. When his health is below half, Meta Knight surrounds himself with a purple force aura under the influence of the Jamba Heart piece he takes 0.

In this phase, he begins with duplicating himself into up to four Meta Knights, depending on how many allies there are. The duplicated Meta Knights can also make boulders rain from the sky using the purple force. The following lists all of Meta Knight's attacks in the boss battle.

Attacks in italics are used during the second phase only. After releasing his charge, he stabs his sword into the ground to summon giant tornado es that travel across the stage. If the allies are hit by the tornado, they will be thrown into the air and take damage when crashing onto the ground. After releasing his charge, he dashes and performs an upper slash. If the upper slash connects to any player s , he will then perform a multi-slash combo to them in midair.

If the allies avoid the upper slash, Meta Knight will end this attack. Meta Knight duplicates himself. The number of Meta Knights in play depends on how many allies there are:. Every Meta Knight takes damage. Each of them attack independently from each-other.

Two of them will always stay on the grounded; the other two will stay airborne. Unlike most other bosses in the game, Meta Knight doesn't attack in a set order every time he's fought. Specific attacks will always be performed at set intervals while all the others are performed randomly. Upon defeat, Meta Knight is freed from the Jamba Heart 's influence.

His mask breaks and he flees. Later, it is revealed in Heroes in Another Dimension that prior to the events of Story Mode, Meta Knight was at Sacred Square to protect its residents from the raining Jamba Heart pieces before getting corrupted himself.

The Japanese version also states that after Meta Knight was saved by Kirby and co. Star Allies Go! In this form, he can help Kirby and travel with him using a move-set similar to the one he had in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Meta Knight can also be recruited as an ally right after his defeat as a boss if a Friend Heart is tossed at him before his mask breaks in Story Mode and Guest Star????

All of these attributes put together make for a fearsome fighter when in the right hands, so much so that he is widely considered the best character in the game and is often banned from tournaments. This is in stark contrast to the Kirby series proper, where his only dialogue outside of the occasional grunt is entirely text-based.

His association in the Story Mode with Marth and Ike , along with his own unique version of the series victory jingle, help to further separate him from his cuter compatriots.

Throughout the story of The Subspace Emissary , Meta Knight is chasing down the Subspace Army, as they had seen fit to steal his flagship Halberd and use it to spread shadow bugs across the realm. Along the way, he joins up with the two Fire Emblem swordsmen of Marth and Ike in pursuit of the Ancient Minister and his subspace bombs.

One of these bombs resides in a giant transformable robot called Galleom which Meta Knight fights. Later on, Meta Knight catches up to the Halberd as it engages in an aerial battle with the Great Fox by jumping up a mountainside along with the Ice Climbers who believe it to be a race.

At the top, he battles and then allies with Lucario before boarding the ship. From there, he encounters Snake and the two princesses Peach and Zelda as he liberates his ship from Subspace control.

Brawl , Meta Knight suffered from several serious downgrades to his fighting ability in Super Smash Bros. Despite this, several of his moves, notably his special abilities, were strengthened to compensate, thus changing the strategies needed to play as him. Despite his reduced dominance, Meta Knight still ranks high compared to the rest of the cast in terms of competitive play, striking fear into his opponents with his dreaded up-air chain to Shuttle Loop finisher.

His most notable changes come to his neutral special 'Mach Tornado' which now only hits once and travels quicker instead of catching opponents and his new Final Smash known as 'Darkness Illusion', which is a trapping flurry attack similar to Ike's 'Great Aether' where Meta Knight sprouts an additional pair of wings and barrages his victim s before sending them flying.

When he first encounters Galaxia, it is being guarded by a fierce monster called Kirisakin. His partner Garlude resorts to sacrificing herself, but manages to get the sword to Meta Knight.
