Knuckle Joe makes his debut as an enemy in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' as well as its remake ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Here, he attempts to harm Kirby by throwing punches and kicks at him. When inhaled, he grants Kirby the [[Fighter]] [[Copy Ability|ability]], and also acts as the [[Helper]] of said ability.
 
Knuckle Joe is also one of the participants of the [[Megaton Punch]] contest. He appears as Kirby's second opponent, after Kirby defeats [[Bandana Waddle Dee]].
 
In the ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''-exclusive main game [[Helper to Hero]], Joe, apart from being playable, 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. Knuckle Joe also appears on a card in [[Kirby Card Swipe]] and as a target in [[Kirby on the Draw]], with the target using his design from the anime.
 
Knuckle Joe can be found in the following places in ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'':
{{Appearances-KSS|FI=y|CoC=y|ST=y|RoMK3=y|RoMK5=y|RoMK6=y|A=y|CrC=y}}
 
===''Kirby's Star Stacker'' (Super Famicom)===
In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] version of ''[[Kirby's Star Stacker (Super Famicom)|Kirby's Star Stacker]]'', Knuckle Joe appears as the fourth opponent in the story mode. When Kirby and his [[Animal Friend]]s run into him, he punches them all away and challenges them to a fight over the piece of [[Mr. Star]] that fell into his possession.
 
In Knuckle Joe's round, the boards start with the first four rows solidly filled in and a small 3x2 stack placed on the left-hand side, with one pair of each Friend Block nestled in the formation. Knuckle Joe appears to prefer placing his blocks on the left or right sides of his board, only placing them in the middle columns whenever he can cause some stars to be stacked. He is capable of getting rather large combos this way, so Kirby will need to keep on his toes to stay ahead.
 
After being defeated, Knuckle Joe is bruised and beaten, being carried away by a [[Waddle Dee]] in a wheelbarrow while insisting that he needed to train harder.

Knuckle Joe reappears as an enemy that can be swallowed for the [[Fighter]] ability, not appearing until [[White Wafers - Stage 1]] and making sporadic appearances throughout. In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', he also reprises his role as a target in [[Kirby on the Draw]].

Knuckle Joe appears in this title, and can be recruited as a [[Helper|Friend]]. As a Friend, he has all of [[Fighter]] Kirby's moves, and can also use the [[Friend Throw]].

Knuckle Joe makes an appearance as a reoccurring character in the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', first appearing in the episode [[Here Comes the Son]]. He is a young rogue fighter whose father was a [[Star Warrior]] slain during the great war against [[Night Mare Enterprises]] and its [[monster]] armies. Not knowing the true circumstances of his father's death beforehand, he believes a Star Warrior to be responsible for his death, and travels to [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]] with the help of N.M.E. to hunt down [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] and [[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]]. Meta Knight then reveals to Knuckle Joe the true story, but it takes a duel with Kirby for Knuckle Joe to truly come to understand this. After this point, Knuckle Joe becomes an ally to Kirby and Meta Knight, aiding them against some of the stronger monsters sent by N.M.E., most notably the titan [[Masher]].
 
Knuckle Joe has a very similar physique and appearance to his video game incarnation, but he is portrayed with a different color palette in his first appearance (perhaps to reflect the [[Helper]] mechanic of ''Kirby Super Star''). His powers include using many of the attacks associated with the [[Fighter]] ability, but he also has the ability to fly and cast electric attacks. In Here Comes the Son, he momentarily transforms into a monstrous version of himself which uses needles to attack, thus granting Kirby the [[Needle]] ability to retaliate against him. This needle version of Knuckle Joe is unique to the anime.

*"''Look at that horn on you! The Beetle ability sure looks impressive. Use Rocket Horn to grab foes and Dive to drive them into the ground.''"
*"''That spear... Did you join the Waddle Dee army or something?! Spears are great for both thrusting and throwing? Get the point?!''"
*"''Ah, the Cutter ability! Those slashes sure are satisfying. There's nothing like a good charge session...and a Hyper Cutter!''"
*"''Heya, fighter! Go give 'em a knuckle sandwich for me! When you see an opening, use your Giga Force Blast to knock 'em out!''"
*"''When you use your Ninja ability, you'll have lots of fierce moves! With those, you can unleash quick attacks for a decisive win."''

*"''Ha! Are you wearing those glasses to look smart? If I were a doctor, I'd say to get rest and call me in the morning!''"
