Knuckle Joe is a major character in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, as well as an enemy appearing in some Template:Installments of the Kirby series. When inhaled, he gives Kirby the Fighter ability. Their attack set is mostly based on swift punches, kicks, and energy waves. Knuckle Joe appears as a humanoid figure with spiky blonde hair, a face without a nose, a bandanna around their head, and a pair of pointy ears. Despite only appearing in two games (Kirby Super Star (which was later remade as Kirby Super Star Ultra) and Kirby Super Star Stacker), Knuckle Joe is a fairly noticable character in the Kirby series, receiving a recurring character role in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! and appearing as an assist trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Helper to Hero, Joe appears in the opening sequence and in the boss picture for Wham Bam Jewel. Since Waddle Dee appears on the file select screen and life counter, these two could be considered to be the "mascots" of helpers. Also, the Anime and Brawl depict him as a protagonist.

Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

In the anime, Knuckle Joe appears in multiple episodes. He is a Star Warrior whose father was killed by Meta Knight. Originally he seeks revenge on Meta Knight, chasing after the knight and Kirby, but then becomes an ally to them, even aiding in the final battle against Nightmare.
