Meta Knight is what can be described as a passionate swordsman, and a well-intended extremist. He features a quite combative personality and is constantly striving to be the best sword fighter in [[Dream Land]]. This is especially shown in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', where he wishes to best [[Galacta Knight]], the 'Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy'. He also seems to despise laziness, as shown by [[Revenge of Meta Knight|his attempt to take over Dream Land]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]]. Meta Knight is very well known for following a stern warrior codex; when he challenges someone, he is usually looking for a fair and equal match. Whenever Kirby has to fight him for different reasons depending on the situation, he provides Kirby with a sword and insists that he use it. Meta Knight also has a habit to conceal his face for unknown reasons. Whenever his mask breaks during a fight, he hides his face in his cape and instantly leaves the battlefield.

Meta Knight appears to be quite prideful and relies heavily upon his image as a stern and mysterious swordsman, which would explain why he hides his face. Despite his desired image, however, he is often brash and short-tempered. In the spin-off title ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'' for instance, one of the [[Channel PPP Crew]] members remarks that Meta Knight has a tendency to curse when he is stressed out during the games (though obviously, the player never hears this). Additionally, in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Meta Knight will lose his temper if Kirby refuses to pick up the [[Sword]] given to him before his boss fight, causing him to kick it away.

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 ''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.
