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 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]].

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. 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. | 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.

In the English dub of ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'', Knuckle Joe is portrayed with a stereotypical "Brooklyn" accent. In particular, he [[wikipedia:Rhoticity_in_English#Coil–curl_merger|pronounces "er" sounds as "oi"]], and this is most notable when he says Kirby's name. | |||
