'''Javelin Knight''' is a hovering robotic member of the [[mid-boss]] group [[Meta-Knights]] which first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' that holds javelins and swings them around. It can be inhaled like any other enemy, but does not give [[Kirby]] an [[Copy Ability|ability]].

Javelin Knight appears to be entirely robotic, with no real limbs to speak of, and only a slit visor that glows red or yellow to pass for a 'face'. It is also the only Meta-Knight capable of hovering, and can also bounce around the place with high and graceful jumps. It will attack either by swinging its javelin around as it bounces, or by shooting it at Kirby.

===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
Javelin Knight debuts as a member of the Meta-Knights in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. It is fought alongside the other group members [[Axe Knight]], [[Trident Knight]], and [[Mace Knight]]. It appears more rarely than the other three, but can usually be seen either hopping through the air while spinning a javelin around, or hovering in place and throwing its javelins in an arc toward Kirby. It is not particularly hardy when compared to the other Meta-Knights, and can be defeated easily with an inhale or a Copy Ability attack.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
Javelin Knight re-appears in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' with a similar role to that of its previous outing.

Unlike [[Axe Knight]] and [[Mace Knight]], Javelin Knight has no dialogue in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]].

===''Kirby Mass Attack''===
In ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', Javelin Knight is fought alongside [[Mace Knight]] at the end of Stage 4 in the sub-game [[Strato Patrol EOS]]. 

Javelin Knight also appears in the [[Kirby Quest]] sub-game. Similarly to Strato Patrol EOS, it is battled with the rest of the Meta-Knights in Chapter 3.

===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
Javelin Knight makes a cameo in the ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' sub-game [[Meta Knightmare Returns]]. When Meta Knight uses his Meta Knightmares attack, Javelin Knight appears with the rest of the Meta-Knights to defeat all on-screen foes.

Javelin Knight also appears as a [[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|sticker]], taking its art from ''Kirby Super Star''.

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', Javelin Knight appears on a [[Character Treat]], depicting its artwork from ''Kirby Super Star''.

He is usually grouped with the others, and does very little to stand out. The text never acknowledges Javelin Knight's ability to float, even though the illustrations clearly show him floating.

-|Tertiary supporting character
-|In this volume, Javelin Knight is one of the many contestants in the big race held in [[Dream Land]], along with the other three [[Meta-Knights]]. When the racers are choosing their machines, [[Axe Knight]] chooses the [[Shadow Star]]. The other Meta-Knights get jealous, and they board the machine too. The four of them fight over the machine as it unstably cruises along. Throughout the rest of the race, Javelin Knight is usually grouped with the other contestants without standing out. During the singing contest, Javelin Knight starts singing after [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]]'s bad performance. Javelin Knight sings with all his feelings in a sweet voice. He successfully matches the song perfectly, but he does not sing loud enough to win the contest.

-|In this volume, like the other Meta-Knights, Javelin Knight comes to [[Dedede's Cake Royale]] to root for Meta Knight in his matches. During the round of [[Flagball]] against Kirby, he cheers after Meta Knight hits the flag. He is sad when Meta Knight loses the round but cheers up after [[Captain Vul]] tells the Meta-Knights that winning the match was not Meta Knight's goal, rather it was testing his strength. During the finals, Javelin Knight observes the match, wondering who will win. After Kirby spits out [[Sword Knight]], he is relieved to find that Sword Knight did not abandon them.

-|In this volume, like the other Meta-Knights, Javelin Knight is excited by the thought of trying the desserts of the cooking competition. Meta Knight agrees to let the Meta-Knights taste the dishes, but only if they think of it as part of their training. Javelin Knight comes on the day of the competition with Meta Knight and wonders with the others what dish will win each round.
