Character description
Meta Knight is a major character in the Kirby video game series developed by HAL Laboratory. Kirby's Adventure was his first appearence, although Meta Knight was not given a name until Kirby's Avalanche, released in 1995. He is a mysterious character that is seen as both a hero and a villain in the series.
Meta Knight's mask breaks almost every time Kirby defeats him, revealing a Kirby-like face underneath. His mask gives the wearer's eyes a yellow-ish tint; it makes Meta Knight's white eyes yellow & Kirby's blue eyes green, as revealed by various Kirby games and a DOJO!! update.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Meta Knight's only appearance in this game is as a collectible trophy.
As a trophy
Meta Knight features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches (though it will only be available to start appearing after the player has played over 200 Vs mode matches). The trophy has two factual errors: The first is that his name is not supposed to have a hyphen in it, and the second is that his first appearance was in Kirby's Adventure in May 1993, not Kirby Super Star in September 1996. The trophy reads as follows:
- Meta-Knight
- The mysterious head of the Meta-Knights, he wields his sword with dignity. He delivered his sword to Kirby and demanded single combat in show of his knightly honor; his strict adherence to his code of ethics makes him a rarity in Dream Land. Sometimes he throws off his cape in battle. it occasionally transforms into wings. (Kirby Super Star 9/96)
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Main article: Meta Knight (SSBB)
Meta Knight is a confirmed character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, wielding his sword, the Galaxia. He attacks with mach-speed sword swipes, and has multiple jumps, similar to Kirby and Jigglypuff, although there are some differences in the way that, like Pit, Meta Knight uses his wings rather than puffing up. Also like Pit, Meta Knight has the ability to glide. He is one of the more notable newcomers in Brawl, as he was the first new character to be revealed. Many fans consider him liable to be a high-tiered character.
It is unknown if Meta Knight's mask will be removable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Kirby wears Meta Knight's mask when he copies his ability, as well as being given tiny bat wings.
