In ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', Sword Knight returns, riding on a hoverboard. If Kirby approaches, it will swing its sword wildly at him until he passes. Unlike most enemies in the game, Sword Knight rarely appears in a large group. At most, two or three might appear at once to gang up on Kirby.

In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Sword Knight appears as a normal enemy, but only in [[Revenge of the King]], where he replaced Blade Knight. Sword Knight blocks projectiles and is much more aggressive than Blade Knight. Kirby is granted the [[Sword]] [[Copy Ability]] when he swallows one. However, Kirby is unable to call on Sword Knight to be a [[Helper]]. He can only call for Blade Knight.
