Kirby Star Allies
Galacta Knight appears at the end of Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! in Kirby Star Allies to serve as the final boss. However, before he gets the chance, a strange butterfly lands on his lance and absorbs him, creating a new swordsman called Morpho Knight. As a result, Galacta Knight is never fought in Star Allies.
During Galacta Knight's cutscene in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go, Return to Dream Land's version of his theme is reused. This full track can still be found as Track 170 in Star Allies Sound Room as of Version 4.0.0.
His Japanese Boss Caption on his splash screen, 時巡る戦士 ("Time Patrol Warrior"), is a reference to the Planet Robobot remix's Japanese title.
