METAKNIGHT
Meta Knight (Japanese: メタナイト, Hepburn: Meta Naito) is a major character in HAL Laboratory's Kirby franchise. He debuted in 1993's Kirby's Adventure and he has since appeared in many subsequent entries as either a boss or playable character. Meta Knight also appears in several Kirby manga, the anime Kirby: Right Back at Ya! and as a playable character in the Super Smash Bros series since Super Smash Bros Brawl.
In the games, Meta Knight serves as one of Kirby's most important foes. Following a strict code of honor, his boss fights feature him offering a sword to Kirby before battle, though he will proceed regardless of the player's choice. Initially portrayed as antagonistic, he becomes an ally to Kirby in later games and, like King Dedede, becomes a victim of brainwashing by much more sinister forces.
Meta Knight is an experienced swordsman who wields a legendary sword called “Galaxia” and can transform his cape into a set of bat-like wings that allow him to fly. He commands an army called the “Meta-Knights” to accomplish his goals. He also serves as the owner of an airship called the “Halberd”, which was originally built to take over Dream Land and later used to defend Planet Popstar from foreign invaders.
The character has become one of the franchise's most prominent characters and has been a subject of numerous theories, particularly regarding his resemblance to Kirby outside of his mask. His role as a player character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl became controversial due to his high attack speed and versatility overpowering much of the roster, leading to bans from the competitive scene.
