BIOGRAPHY

Meta Knight is a major character in the Kirby series, appearing in most of the games, the manga, as well as the anime since his debut in Kirby's Adventure in 1993. The intrigue and popularity surrounding Meta Knight within the Kirby fandom largely lies in his enigmatic and solitary, yet caring nature, and his mysterious, yet striking likeness to Kirby himself.

One of Meta Knight's most well-known traits is the fact that he is almost never seen with his mask off. In most games, his mask is split into two upon defeat, revealing a face nearly identical to Kirby's with bright yellow eyes. In the event that should he be ever unmasked, he immediately departs from the field of battle. Meta Knight's Dimensional Cape (as named in Super Smash Bros. Brawl) allows him to manipulate space. It is also capable of transforming into bat wings, enabling him to take flight.

Being a knight, Meta Knight respects a code of chivalry, and almost always offers Kirby a sword whenever he fights against him. He is a fierce and skilled swordsman, as well as a solitary and stoic character. He is often seen alone, and it is sometimes unclear as to what he is feeling or what his motives are. Meta Knight is proud of his abilities, but wants to improve more, as shown in Meta Knightmare Ultra and Kirby Battle Royale, where he summons Galactic Nova to challenge the greatest warrior in the galaxy, and enters The Cake Royale along with Axe Knight to increase his strength, respectively. To this end, Meta Knight keeps up a strict training regimen to prepare himself for future battles, be it on the side of Kirby, King Dedede or himself.
