Meta Knight also wears a cape that can turn into wings, which he uses to fly around. On certain occasions, he will take off his cape in battle.

Meta Knight is a newcomer in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and he is available to play [[Starter character|from the start]]. Almost all of his attacks involve his sword, [[Galaxia]], and most of these attacks are extremely fast such as his up air that comes out in just two frames (2/60 of a second), referencing his swordsmanship in the ''Kirby'' franchise. Though his overall reach is average, the length of his sword relative to his small body gives him grossly disproportionate disjoint in all of his attacks giving him excellent spacing options. In addition to fast attacks, Meta Knight is equipped with incredible recovery potential. Like {{SSBB|Kirby}}, {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}, he has multiple jumps, but, despite physically resembling Kirby, he doesn't puff himself up to fly. Instead, he transforms his cape into wings to propel himself upwards, Meta Knight has the ability to [[glide]] using his cape wings. Furthermore, Meta Knight is equipped with very versatile special moves that not only improve his already stellar recovery but also heavily define his neutral and edgeguard game.

''The head of the Meta-Knights, and something of a rival to [[Kirby]]. He's quite an accomplished swordsman. Following his code of knightly ethics, he once delivered his sword to Kirby and demanded single combat. His giant cape transforms into wings, giving him the power of flight. He's shown his face briefly before, but his relationship to Kirby is still a mystery.''{{trophy games|game1=Kirby's Adventure|console1=NES|game2=Kirby Super Star|console2=SNES}}

Meta Knight returns as a fighter in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', as with all previous characters.

==Trivia==

*Meta Knight is the only sword-wielding character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series who lacks both a [[projectile]] and a [[counterattack]].  

*Unlike Kirby and [[King Dedede]], Meta Knight's Japanese voice in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series was directly lifted from the anime series instead of any prior ''Kirby'' games, mainly due to the fact he was never voiced in them. To further reflect this, his English voice, albeit different from the dubbed anime, features a slight accent, similar to how his English voice in the anime series has a Spanish accent.
