**Prior to this costume, Meta Knight was actually depicted as having silver eyes behind his mask and pink cheeks. The mask, in particular, turned Meta Knight's eyes yellow while it was worn, and this trait was further reinforced in ''Brawl'' when Kirby, upon copying Meta Knight, sports green eyes while wearing the mask. However, all ''Kirby'' games following ''SSB4'' now depict an unmasked Meta Knight with yellow eyes and a lack of cheek blush. According to the developers of ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', this was partially a result of palette limitations in sprite-based titles. Although they considered using the pre-''SSB4'' design, they decided that it did not look right on Meta Knight's 3D model.<ref>[[wikirby:Canon#Retroactive continuity|Canon - WiKirby]]</ref> | **Prior to this costume, Meta Knight was actually depicted as having silver eyes behind his mask and pink cheeks.
