- This article is about the sword-wielding foe with the segmented helmet, and should not be confused with Blade Knight.
Sword Knight is a relatively obscure sword-wielding foe in the Kirby series, wearing green or purple armor and wielding a spiked blade either white or golden in hue. First appearing in Kirby's Adventure, he makes a fair number of appearances in early Kirby games, and will grant Kirby the Sword Copy Ability when swallowed. Sword Knight is normally found in random areas, and is usually ranked as a minor enemy, but he tends to have more prestige (if nothing else) than his cousin Blade Knight, despite appearing less often. Sword Knight also appears in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! as an ally and an apprentice of Meta Knight.

Kirby Air Ride
In Kirby Air Ride, Sword Knight returns in his only appearance in 3-D (so far), 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.
Notably, two Sword Knights appear to antagonize Kirby in the game's opening cut-scene. Kirby quickly dispatches them with the Sword Ability before moving on to face Meta Knight.
