Meta Knight

"Victory is my destiny."

- Meta Knight

Meta Knight is one of Kirby's rivals and sometimes friend. Meta Knight was born in Dream Land, which is also where Kirby grew up.

Super Smash Bros. Series
Although he did not appear playable, Meta Knight had a trophy dedicated to him in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It was randomly won through Collect the Trophies on Classic Mode, or the Lottery.

However, 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 glide. He also has a stage in his honor, his very own war ship called the Halberd. Meta Knight's voice actor from the Kirby anime series, Atsushi Kisaichi, provides Meta Knight's voice in Japanese version Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Snake Codec conversation

 * Snake: Mei Ling, there's a mysterious masked man flying around here with a sword...
 * 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...

Trivia

 * Meta Knight was also in Nintendo Monopoly, where he took the position of St. Charles Place, and cost $140.
 * Without his mask on, Meta Knight looks very much like Kirby.
