-Meta Knight makes his first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', later reappearing in its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. During the game, he is one of [[King Dedede]]'s friends who guard the seven pieces of the [[Star Rod]] in order to keep [[Nightmare]] sealed away. He can be seen in several instances before [[Kirby]] gets the chance to fight him, though. Meta Knight appears in several levels, where he directs his minions, the [[Meta-Knights]], to fight Kirby. In the boss stage of [[Orange Ocean]], Meta Knight himself decides to challenge Kirby to a duel, throwing a sword that Kirby must pick up to get the [[Sword]] ability. Kirby must make full use of this ability here in order to succeed.
+Meta Knight makes his first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', later reappearing in its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. He is one of [[King Dedede]]'s friends who guards one of the seven pieces of the [[Star Rod]] in order to keep [[Nightmare]] sealed away. Before his boss battle, Meta Knight appears in several levels, where he either directs his minions, the [[Meta-Knights]], to fight Kirby, or assists Kirby by throwing an [[Invincibility Candy]] to him. In the boss stage of [[Orange Ocean]], Meta Knight challenges Kirby to a duel, throwing a sword that Kirby must pick up to get the [[Sword]] ability and begin the fight. During the fight, Meta Knight attacks and blocks with his sword. He notably lacks his wings and projectile attacks seen in future battles in the series. Once defeated, his mask splits in two, revealing, for the first time, his appearance similar to Kirby. He then wraps himself in his cape and flees.
-In the original game, Meta Knight has a black body with a purple mask and off-white eyes and trim, rather than his more familiar navy body, silver mask, and yellow eyes and trim. [[Shinya Kumazaki]] stated on [[Miiverse]] that these colors were likely chosen to stand out more with the limited color palette of the NES.<ref>{{quote|In Kirby's Adventure on the Famicom (NES), Meta Knight's eyes are indeed white. At the time, there was a limit to the number of colors you could use, so I think that white was chosen because it stood out more.|Miiverse post made during [https://miketendo64.com/2016/09/09/kirby-planet-robobot-ask-a-thon-round-3-copy-abilities-characters-more/ Kirby: Planet Robobot Ask-a-thon Round 3] regarding the color of Meta Knight's eyes}}</ref>
+In ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', Meta Knight receives an updated design similar to his appearance in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. Like other bosses in this remake, he is larger and his battle is made easier. Additionally, the sequences in which he gives Kirby an Invincibility Candy have been removed.
