Kirby |

Despite this, he is among the most powerful of his kind, able to effortlessly master and then discard various abilities which would take most other warriors years to learn. He is also described as a failed creation of Night Mare Enterprises, which is why Nightmare wishes to destroy him. |
Meta Knight |
Various | Meta Knight is a veteran of the war against N.M.E which wiped out most of the previous generation of Star Warriors, taking refuge in Dream Land and helping Kirby fend off the monsters sent at him. Meta Knight wields the sacred blade Galaxia, and is very knowledgeable, in addition to being a master swordsman. He has taken on two apprentices Sword Knight and Blade Knight, though these two are not Star Warriors themselves. |
