** That motivation is the result of a famously bad translation. His actual motivation (JPN version) was the overthrow of what he believed to be a corrupt/incompetent government (sympathetic but goes into WellIntentionedExtremist territory). Given the rest of his actions throughout the series (ALWAYS trying to fight some sort of CosmicHorror but failing due to something Kirby does), said mistranslation is an extremely OOC moment for him. * MaskPower [[spoiler:But he's so cute without it!]]

* HeroAntagonist: Is typically trying to do what's right/protect Dream Land from evil, though he sometimes goes into WellIntentionedExtremist territory. Opposes Kirby because he tends to trigger what Meta Knight is trying to prevent.
* LawfulGood or LawfulNeutral: Up to interpretation, though either way he acts as a WellIntentionedExtremist form.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Given that Kirby is an idiot, this is why Meta Knight ends up fighting him a lot.

::'''Meta Knight'''

A WalkingHead with a mask, bat wings, a sword, and an unknown agenda. His morality is highly ambiguous, but he generally seems to be a HeroAntagonist.

-> First appearance: ''Kirby's Adventure''

Tropes associated with Meta Knight:
* [[spoiler:BadassAdorable]]
* BadassSpaniard: The English dub of the anime makes him out to be this.
* CapeWings
* EnsembleDarkhorse: See above, though he was already this from the games before the anime came out.
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]]: In Kirby Super Star. His motive: [[spoiler:[[LawfulEvil to stop Dreamland's lazy lifestyle!]]]]
* MaskPower [[spoiler:But he's so cute without it!]]
* StealthMentor: In ''Kirby's Adventure''. In the original, he's the one who supplies Kirby with the Invincible Lollipops, yet he periodically throws his men, The Meta Knights, at him and fights the puffball himself. There's no other explanation for these actions except to be secretly training Kirby to defeat Nightmare.
* WorthyOpponent: In Revenge of Meta Knight in ''Kirby Super Star'', he refuses to fight you until you pick up the sword he offers. [[PowerupLetdown Too bad several powers are better]].
