Meta Knight makes an official appearance as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and he is available to play [[Starter character|from the start]]. Almost all of his attacks involve his sword, Galaxia, and most of these attacks are extremely fast; for instance, his up air comes out in just two frames (1/30 of a second), referencing his swordsmanship in the ''Kirby'' franchise. Though his overall reach is average, the length of his sword relative to his small body gives him grossly disproportionate disjoints in all of his attacks, giving him excellent spacing options. In addition to fast attacks, Meta Knight is equipped with incredible recovery potential. Like {{SSBB|Kirby}}, {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, and {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}, he has multiple jumps, but, despite physically resembling Kirby, he doesn't puff himself up to fly. Instead, he transforms his cape into wings to propel himself upwards, and in addition, Meta Knight has the ability to [[glide]] using his cape wings. Furthermore, Meta Knight is equipped with very versatile special moves that not only improve his already stellar recovery but also heavily define his neutral and edgeguard game.

Meta Knight is widely considered to be the best character in ''Brawl'' due to him lacking disadvantageous match-ups (with one documented but heavily disputed even matchup against {{SSBB|Pikachu}}) along with his overwhelming dominance in tournaments(It is also possible to K.O a fighter simply by using Mach Tornado). Due to being considered "[[broken]]", Meta Knight had been banned since January 9, 2012 on the [[Unity Ruleset]] and has been the only character in the ''Smash'' series to be banned in standard tournaments. However, after the disbandment of the Unity ruleset, prohibiting him is up to the Tournament Organizer.
