Meta Knight: Difference between revisions

Meta Knight appears as a blue, roundish creature, with a physique similar to that of [[Kirby]]. His most prominent feature is his silver mask. He also wears purple shoes, metal shoulder base plates, and a purple cape, which he can transform into two large bat wings. He is often seen wielding his trademark sword, the [[Galaxia]]. This legendary golden blade is usually depicted with prongs on each of its sides. When Meta Knight is defeated, his mask usually splits in two and falls off, revealing a face similar to Kirby's own, except blue and without cheek blush. In earlier games, his eyes were white under his mask and he did have cheek blush, but this was changed to have his eyes always be yellow in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', and he later appeared that way in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' and subsequent games. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the mask is shown to give his eyes a yellow tint, as Kirby's blue eyes turn green when he wears it after copying him. The reason behind the color change was addressed in a developer Miiverse post: there was a limit of the number of colors at the time that could be used due to technical limitations, and white was chosen because "it stood out more". HAL was concerned about fan reactions but decided to change the color to yellow for the aesthetic purposes of his 3D model.
