When knocked to around 55% of its maximum health, Metal General does not change appearance. Instead, it simply starts sparking and stuttering.

| {{center|Metal General fires a few wandering missiles from its cannon. These can be swallowed for the [[Bomb]] Copy Ability. More missiles are launched in the second phase.}}

|-

| {{center|Metal General summons a rocket, and rides it into the background. It will then attempt to ram Kirby with it several times, before finally crashing it down, creating a lingering field of fire on the ground and some stars. Swallowing the rocket before it explodes will yield the [[Crash]] ability.}}

|-

| {{center|Metal General activates a small shield, then flies into a dive toward Kirby, creating stars where it lands.}}

|-

| {{center|Metal General deploys three small flying drones that pursue Kirby. Swallowing them yields the [[Beam]] ability.}}

|-

| {{center|Metal General tosses three mines on the ground, which explode on contact or after a set time. Can be swallowed for the [[Bomb]] ability.}}

| {{center|Metal General EX takes out a laser sword and starts slashing rapidly. The finishing strike leaves a star on the ground behind it. It also moves forward as it slashes.}}

| {{center|Metal General EX activates a small shield, then flies into a dive toward Kirby, creating stars where it lands.}}

|-

| {{center|Metal General EX tosses three spark mines on the ground, which explode, creating lightning bolts on contact or after a set time. Can be swallowed for the [[Spark]] ability. During the second phase, the mines zap several times.}}

|-

| {{center|Metal General EX flies into the air and turns on a protective shield. Spark bolts zig-zag out of the shield in various directions.}}

|-

| {{center|Metal General EX summons three rockets (two in the foreground and one in the background) and boards the last one. All three rockets attempt to ram into Kirby once each, before crashing down one-at-a-time. Swallowing one of the rockets before it explodes will yield the Crash ability.}}

|-

| {{center|Metal General EX deploys six small flying drones that pursue Kirby. Swallowing them yields the [[Beam]] ability. Drones are spread out much more than in the Main Mode. It might deploy six small flying drones that hover high in the air, before the drones and the General start shooting blasts downward in a systematic fashion three times in a row or until the drones are destroyed.}}

==Trivia==

**In the ''Kirby Clash'' games, the amount of damage dealt is always shown on every boss.

*Metal General can be seen as a successor to [[Meta Knight]]'s battle style in previous games, in particular with its rapid slashing attacks and how its "Electro Shock Shuttle Loop" resembles the similarly-named [[Shuttle Loop]].
