'''Blade Knight''' is an [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' along with his cousin [[Sword Knight]]. He is a swordsman of small stature that wears green armor with a red plume on his helmet. He attacks by swinging his sword and grants [[Kirby]] the [[Sword]] [[Copy Ability]] when [[inhale]]d.


'''Blade Knight''' is a recurring enemy in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It attacks [[Kirby]] by swinging its blade, and grants him the [[Sword]] [[Copy Ability]] when swallowed. It is the Helper for the Sword Ability in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', and its remake, [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|''Super Star Ultra'']]. It can also be summoned by [[Meta Knight]], to aid him in battle during the ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' stage, [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]]. In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', there is a more powerful form of this enemy called the [[Super Blade Knight]] that yields the [[Ultra Sword]] super ability.
== Physical appearance ==
Blade Knight wears a set of green armor with a red plume on his helmet which has a magenta face mask and a gold visor. He wears a blue belt around his body, white gloves, and brown boots. On his shoulder pauldrons, he has two gold symbols which resemble tridents on them.


In older games, Blade Knight wore yellow boots and had a dark blue body, though this was altered later on. The official artwork from ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' depicted Blade Knight with insect-like antennae and no plume. In ''Kirby's Adventure'' and ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'', he has two hairs on his head like [[Waddle Doo]].


Since ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', Blade Knight is left-handed, but becomes right-handed like [[Sword]] Kirby when recruited as a [[Helper#Kirby Star Allies|Friend]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

Blade Knight makes his first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', along with [[Sword Knight]]. Both of them act mainly the same in this game and both provide the [[Sword]] ability when inhaled. In ''Kirby's Adventure'', it can also be difficult to tell the two apart.

==Anime==
|}
In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', Blade Knight is an assistant to Meta Knight, and has the same basic job as [[Sword Knight]]. In the English dub, he speaks with an Australian accent. But in that dub and several others, Blade Knight doesn't speak as coherent as he does in the Japanese version, quite possibly because of his face mask. Yet, words that bear importance such as names are spelled out clearly.


==''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U trophy description''==
=== ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' ===
''"This enemy from Dream Land strikes out with his sword. There's an old saying that you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer - and there's nothing closer than inhaling an enemy! Once Kirby has copied the Sword ability, he can summon Blade Knight as a Helper!"''
In ''Kirby's Pinball Land'', Blade Knight appears as an [[Easter egg]] in the upper board of [[Wispy-Woods Land]] if Kirby manages to spin a [[Twister]] at top speed and quickly spin it again before it stops, accompanied by the [[Mike]] scream sound effect and 77700 points. This only happens when revisiting the board after defeating King Dedede, and Blade Knight himself cannot be interacted with after appearing.


==Trivia==
=== ''Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra'' ===
*In the English version of the anime, Blade Knight is voiced by a male. However, in the original Japanese, "his" voice is female.
[[File:KSS Bubbly Clouds screenshot 13.png|thumb|200px|Kirby and a Blade Knight helper in ''Kirby Super Star''.]]
[[File:KSSU Blade Knight Sprite.png]]
Blade Knight appears in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' as the primary source of the Sword ability, acting much the same as in his last appearance. He can be recruited as a [[Helper]] representing said ability, whereupon he will gain all of Sword Kirby's moves and gain an [[Infinity Jump]], with a drawback being reduced maximum [[health]] compared to the pink puffball.
 
In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Blade Knight also appears as a selectable character in [[Helper to Hero]]. Sword Knight appears exclusively in the remake as well, but has been differentiated from Blade Knight in a few ways, giving him a few tricks that Blade Knight does not have. Blade Knight also appears on a card in [[Kirby Card Swipe]].
 
When Blade Knight is damaged in both games, a single eye is revealed underneath his face mask.
 
Blade Knight can be found in the following places in ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'':

{{ImCap|image=File:KRtDLD Blade Knight screenshot.png|size=90px|align=right|caption=A Blade Knight from ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''.|captionwidth=145px}}
Blade Knight makes his first 3D appearance in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. His main objective is to either hold position or walk slowly and swipe at Kirby if he gets close enough. He also has a super variant called [[Super Blade Knight]] and a similar-looking [[Mid-Boss]] called [[Gigant Edge]].
 
Blade Knight also appears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'' in the [[New Challenge Stages]] game, as well as [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]], directly taken from his appearance and function in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.
 
In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', Blade Knight can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KRtDL|CC1=y|CC3=y|CC4=y|RR2=y|RR3=y|OO1=y|WW3=y|WW4=y|NN1=y|NN2=y|NN3=y|NN5=y|EE1=y|DD2=y|DD3=y}}

Blade Knight returns in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. He acts nearly the same as in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. In ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', he also appears as a randomly obtained [[keychain]] in his 16-bit sprite form from ''Kirby Super Star''.

In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', Blade Knight is an assistant to [[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]], and has the same basic job as [[Sword Knight (anime character)|Sword Knight]]. In the English dub, he speaks with a Scottish accent. In that dub and several others, however, Blade Knight doesn't speak as coherent as he does in the Japanese version, sometimes to the point to where he can’t be understood at all by the viewer. Despite that, the characters in the show seem to understand him perfectly fine. This happens quite possibly because of his face mask.

— Description of Blade Knight from the Kirby: Triple Deluxe website

Blade Knight is an enemy in the Kirby series that debuted in Kirby's Adventure along with his cousin Sword Knight. He is a swordsman of small stature that wears green armor with a red plume on his helmet. He attacks by swinging his sword and grants Kirby the Sword Copy Ability when inhaled.

Physical appearance[edit]

Blade Knight wears a set of green armor with a red plume on his helmet which has a magenta face mask and a gold visor. He wears a blue belt around his body, white gloves, and brown boots. On his shoulder pauldrons, he has two gold symbols which resemble tridents on them.

In older games, Blade Knight wore yellow boots and had a dark blue body, though this was altered later on. The official artwork from Kirby's Adventure depicted Blade Knight with insect-like antennae and no plume. In Kirby's Adventure and Kirby's Pinball Land, he has two hairs on his head like Waddle Doo.

Since Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Blade Knight is left-handed, but becomes right-handed like Sword Kirby when recruited as a Friend in Kirby Star Allies.

KA Blade Knight sprite.png KNiDL Blade Knight sprite.png Blade Knight makes his first appearance in Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, along with Sword Knight. Both of them act mainly the same in this game and both provide the Sword ability when inhaled. In Kirby's Adventure, it can also be difficult to tell the two apart.

Blade Knight can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby's Pinball Land[edit]

In Kirby's Pinball Land, Blade Knight appears as an Easter egg in the upper board of Wispy-Woods Land if Kirby manages to spin a Twister at top speed and quickly spin it again before it stops, accompanied by the Mike scream sound effect and 77700 points. This only happens when revisiting the board after defeating King Dedede, and Blade Knight himself cannot be interacted with after appearing.

Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

KSSU Blade Knight Sprite.png Blade Knight appears in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra as the primary source of the Sword ability, acting much the same as in his last appearance. He can be recruited as a Helper representing said ability, whereupon he will gain all of Sword Kirby's moves and gain an Infinity Jump, with a drawback being reduced maximum health compared to the pink puffball.

In Kirby Super Star Ultra, Blade Knight also appears as a selectable character in Helper to Hero. Sword Knight appears exclusively in the remake as well, but has been differentiated from Blade Knight in a few ways, giving him a few tricks that Blade Knight does not have. Blade Knight also appears on a card in Kirby Card Swipe.

When Blade Knight is damaged in both games, a single eye is revealed underneath his face mask.

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

In Kirby's Dream Buffet, Blade Knight appears on a Character Treat, using his artwork as a Friend with Blizzard Sword from Kirby Star Allies.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Blade Knight appears as a Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

Image Description Found in
Blade Knight - Brawl Trophy.png "A sword wielder covered head to toe in armor. Kirby can copy his Sword ability by inhaling him. Blade Knight has a variety of sword techniques, including chops and 100-slash combo attacks. As a helper, you can take him with you, and he will assist by taking out enemies with sword attacks. He's about as strong as Sword Knight." Kirby's Adventure

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit]

Blade Knight appears as a Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U:

Image Appears In/Related Games American English description British English description
BladeKnightTrophyWiiU.png NES: Kirby's Adventure (05/1993)
SNES: Kirby Super Star Ultra (09/2008)
"This enemy from Dream Land strikes out with his sword. There's an old saying that you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer—and there's nothing closer than inhaling an enemy! Once Kirby has copied the Sword ability, he can summon Blade Knight as a Helper!" "A knight enemy in Dream Land who often gets in Kirby's way. There's an old saying, though, that you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Well, nothing will get your enemies closer than inhaling them! And when Kirby copies the Sword ability in Kirby Super Star Ultra, he can summon Blade Knight as a Helper!"

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya![edit]

Main article: Blade Knight (anime character)

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, Blade Knight is an assistant to Meta Knight, and has the same basic job as Sword Knight. In the English dub, he speaks with a Scottish accent. In that dub and several others, however, Blade Knight doesn't speak as coherent as he does in the Japanese version, sometimes to the point to where he can’t be understood at all by the viewer. Despite that, the characters in the show seem to understand him perfectly fine. This happens quite possibly because of his face mask.

In the Kirby novel series[edit]
