| '''Meta Knight''' is a recurring anti-hero character in the [[wikirby:Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], making his debut in ''[[wikirby:Kirby's Adventure|Kirby's Adventure]]''. He always wears his metal mask in his series, and usually appears as an antagonist or a boss [[Kirby]] must fight, but on occasions has had to team up with him. He and [[wikirby:Captain Vul|Captain Vul]] are captains of the [[Halberd]] ship. In certain games, after Meta Knight is defeated, his mask splits into two, revealing a face near identical to Kirby's; the main difference being his blue skin tone. He made a crossover debut into the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series as a fighter in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where his ship, the Halberd, also appears as a stage.

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
| |
| Although he does not appear as a playable character, Meta Knight has a trophy dedicated to him in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', which can be randomly obtained. The trophy's title says ''[[wikirby:Meta-Knight|Meta-Knight]]'', referring to the group rather than the individual, as there is a hyphen.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===

| |
| Meta Knight appears as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. His purple cloak is able to transform into wings, just as his Trophy from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' said. He utilizes his golden sword, the Galaxia, as his main weapon of choice. He can also multi-jump like [[Kirby]] and [[Jigglypuff]] and, by using his wings, he can [[Gliding|glide]]. His ship, the [[Halberd]], also appears as a stage. Meta Knight's voice actor from the ''Kirby'' anime series, ''Atsushi Kisaichi'', provides Meta Knight's voice in the Japanese version ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', while Eric Newsome, who did [[Bowser]]'s voice in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', in other versions.
| |
| | |
| Meta Knight's special moves are mostly based on attacks that appear in the ''Kirby'' series, his own or otherwise. His neutral special is [[Mach Tornado]], which causes Meta Knight to spin around rapidly to deal damage. His side special is [[Drill Rush]], in which Meta Knight charges forward in a spinning motion. His up special is [[Shuttle Loop]], in which he loops around before flying directly up, dealing two hits afterward. His down special is [[Dimensional Cape]], in which Meta Knight teleports and can attack by holding the button. His [[Final Smash]] is [[Galaxia Darkness]], in which Meta Knight traps opponents by swiping his cape then deals a large sword swipe.
| |
| | |
| ====The Subspace Emissary====
| |
| [[File:SubspaceIntro-MetaKnight.png|200px|thumb|left|Meta Knight's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
| |
| Meta Knight's story starts before the events of the actual game, trying to defend the [[Halberd]] from [[Master Hand]] and the [[Subspace Army]], but was unwittingly prevented from doing as such by [[King Dedede]]<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea17.html Mysteries of the Subspace Emissary (Smash Bros. DOJO!!)]</ref>. His actual first appearance is when he runs into [[Marth]], who is investigating the activity going on in [[the Battlefield Fortress]]. After a brief duel, they team up to take on the Subspace Army. Afterwards, they are chasing the [[Ancient Minister]] when [[Ike]] shows up to disarm the [[Subspace Bomb]] the Minister had been carrying.
| |
| | |
| Meta Knight, Marth, and Ike ultimately lose the Ancient Minister near the edge of [[the Wilds]], but they find [[Galleom]] in the middle of the desert. After it is defeated, Galleom goes to [[the Ruined Hall]] and comes out holding [[Lucas]] and the [[Pokémon Trainer]] in one hand, with a Subspace Bomb about to go off in its head. Although Lucas manages to free himself and the Trainer, Meta Knight saves them when they almost hit the ground.
| |
| | |
| [[File:LucarioMetaKnightIceClimbers.png|thumb|200px|right|Meta Knight prepares to battle [[Lucario]].]]
| |
| Meta Knight finally finds the Halberd fighting the [[Great Fox]] above [[the Glacial Peak]], and leaves his team behind to climb the mountain. As he does this, however, the [[Ice Climbers]] race him and beat him to the top. At the summit, Meta Knight discovers the Aura [[Pokémon]] [[Lucario]], who challenges him to a fight. When Meta Knight gets defeated by Lucario, Lucario revives him by tapping on his trophy. When Lucario gets defeated by Meta Knight, Meta Knight revives him by tapping his trophy.
| |
| | |
| After the battle, Meta Knight and Lucario agree to team up and enter the Halberd, where they find [[Solid Snake]] thanks to the use of Lucario's Aura. The three of them rescue [[Princess Peach]] and [[Princess Zelda]] from their evil counterparts before heading to the cockpit to find many [[Mr. Game & Watch]]es controlling the Halberd. Lucario and Snake take care of them while Meta Knight takes the Halberd back.
| |
| | |
| Eventually, Meta Knight goes into Subspace with everyone else, although the Halberd is destroyed by the [[Subspace Gunship]] as they do this. They find [[Tabuu]], who fires his [[Off Waves]] at them and turns them into trophies. [[Kirby]], however, is revived by one of [[King Dedede]]'s badges and saves Meta Knight along with some of the others before going into [[the Great Maze]] to stop Tabuu.

| |
| Meta Knight returns as a playable character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. He, along with other winged characters, can no longer glide, either normally or at the end of Shuttle Loop, though Shuttle Loop now hits twice instead; aside from this, however, most of his moves are no different from the previous game. His design has been slightly altered for this installment, giving him metal gauntlets over his gloves.
| |
| | |
| One of Kirby's alternative palettes is identical to what Meta Knight looks like without his mask (though the palette has yellow eyes), armor and cape in the early ''Kirby'' games. In addition, two of Meta Knight's alternate costumes are based on [[wikirby:Dark Meta Knight|Dark Meta Knight]] and [[wikirby:Galacta Knight|Galacta Knight]].

| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': That's Meta Knight. He's a knight from Dream Land. They say his sword swings can break the sound barrier. Whatever you do, don't get caught in one of his furious barrage attacks. He also commands the Halberd, a flying battleship.
| |
| *'''Snake''': Mm, I've seen it. The bow looks like his mask. What kind of weirdo puts his face on the bow of a ship, anyway?
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': Umm, maybe he's a little narcissistic. Kind of like someone else I know.
| |
| *'''Snake''': Really... And who would that be?
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': Use your imagination...

| ====Palutena's Guidance====
| |
| *'''[[Pit]]''': I wonder what Meta Knight looks like under that mask.
| |
| *'''Viridi''': Apparently quite similar to Kirby.
| |
| *'''Pit''': If he took off his mask, could he inhale things too?
| |
| *'''Viridi''': Maybe. And maybe he has Kirby's Copy Ability as well.
| |
| *'''Pit''': So if a maskless Meta Knight copied a masked Meta Knight...
| |
| *'''Viridi''': Well, then he'd just be back where he started.
| |
| *'''[[Palutena]]''': Anyway, be careful of his quick blade and his spinning attacks. They don't have a lot of power, so use your shield until you see an opening.
