After identifying Kirby, Meta Knight leads everyone to Castle Dedede when the monster Octacon begins to attack. There, he watches as Kirby does battle with the monster, providing expository information on the pink Star Warrior and his abilities. | "It is Kirby's classic defense: inhale!" | ||
A Blockbuster Battle | Secondary character | In this episode, Meta Knight shows up during the battle with Blocky, and provides Tiff with a clue on how to defeat it. | "Your opponent is made of a super-high-density matter. It is too heavy to be sucked up by Kirby." | ||
Kirby's Duel Role | Primary character | In this episode, Meta Knight challenges Kirby to a duel in Kabu Canyon after he is ordered by King Dedede to get rid of him. Meta Knight appears to comply, which makes Tiff and Tuff believe him to be an enemy, but instead Meta Knight takes the opportunity to teach Kirby the basics of swordplay, in particular instructing him on how to perform the Sword Beam attack. Using this experience, and despite an interruption from Tiff and Tuff, Kirby is later able to battle and defeat Bugzzy using the Sword ability.

There, Meta Knight tells Tiff the story of how the Star Warriors had previously battled eNeMeE and lost, and were forced to go into hiding. He also tells Tiff about Kirby's origins, and explains to her that Kirby arrived in Dream Land before he was truly ready. He finishes by explaining to her that only she can call Kirby's Warp Star to assist him, and instructs her to do so in order to help Kirby defeat Kracko. | "Kirby's Starship detected the King's monster, but Kirby was not scheduled to awaken for another 200 years! That is why his ship crash-landed. He is totally untrained. He cannot speak! He can barely think!" | ||
Un-Reality TV | Secondary character | In this episode, Meta Knight is among those who receives a Channel DDD TV set, and proceeds to watch it despite Tiff's admonishment. Later on, when Dedede is trying to convince everyone that a monster is attacking town and that Kirby is responsible, Meta Knight joins Tiff and the others and directs them to the castle studio so they can put a stop to the propaganda. | "Don't believe everything you see on the television set, my friend." | ||
Kirby's Egg-Cellent Adventure | Tertiary character | In this episode, when Kirby is being attacked by Dyna Blade, Tiff tries to get Meta Knight to help, but Meta Knight explains that Kirby needs to be responsible for his own actions and refuses to get involved. | "Our deeds bind us to fate as surely as the sun sets." | ||

The Big Taste Test | Secondary character | In this episode, Meta Knight is called into action when Tiff and Tuff inform him that Chef Kawasaki is about to cook Kirby for a meal for his master.

You must hurry!" | ||
Escargoon Squad | Secondary character | In this episode, Meta Knight is present with the other members of the castle court to talk about the paranormal phenomenon happening around the castle.

The Pillow Case | Primary character | In this episode, Meta Knight cautions Tiff not to jump to conclusions when King Dedede advertises his new dream pillows on Channel DDD, telling her to try it out to see if it is actually dangerous. When the pillow is later revealed to indeed be dangerous, Meta Knight is among the first to take action, gathering the pillows along with his apprentices and cutting them open to reveal the Noddies inside. When he shows this to the possessed mob, they all collectively come to their senses. | "Everyone in Cappy Town who slept on these pillows is now out to destroy Kirby!" | ||
A Fish Called Kine | Secondary character | In this episode, Meta Knight joins Tiff, Tuff, and Kirby when they head to the Rainbow Coral Reef in a makeshift submarine in order to stop King Dedede from bulldozing it.

Flower Power | Primary character | In this episode, Meta Knight assists Tiff in shadowing Tuff and Fololo & Falala while they carry Kirby through the Babagahara jungle in search of the Pukey Flower. In the process, Meta Knight is able to save Tuff from various bad situations without revealing himself, giving Tuff the impression that he is the one solving the problems. When they arrive in the cave of the Pukey Flower, however, Tiff and Meta Knight are forced to reveal themselves and what they'd been doing, causing Tuff to become offended and discouraged. However, when Meta Knight starts to struggle against the Pukey Flower, Tuff swallows his pride and steps in to assist, giving Kirby an opening to pin the flower down using Needle and allowing Meta Knight to finish it off with a burning torch. | "He may not be too smart, but his heart is in the right place." | ||
Here Comes the Son | Primary character | In this episode, Meta Knight steps in when Knuckle Joe starts attacking Kirby, and explains that it is actually he who is to blame for the death of Knuckle Joe's father. He explains what happened to Knuckle Joe's father, and then urges him not to give into his desire for revenge, but this initially has little effect, as Knuckle Joe starts to turn into a monster, only reverting to normal after being parried by Needle Kirby. From there, Meta Knight bids Knuckle Joe farewell as he steps back into the Night Mare Enterprises Teleporter. | "Your father gave that to me. At the end, something stopped him from fully surrendering himself to eNeMeE. It was the love he had for you." | ||
Dedede's Snow Job | Secondary character | In this episode, Meta Knight is initially only seen briefly, when he comments on the sudden turn in the climate of the kingdom.
