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

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

Physical appearance

Blade Knight wears a set of green armTemplate:Or 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|Template:KRtDL KAW]], Blade Knight is left-handed, but becomes right-handed like Sword Kirby when recruited as a Friend in Kirby Star Allies.

Template:KSS KFP / Kirby Super Star Ultra

File:BladeSSU.png Blade Knight appears in [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]] 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 stamina 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.

This green warrior swears upon his blade that he will master his weapon, learn how to attack with flame, wind, and lightning, and ultimately conquer the world!

— Guest Star Blade Knight Staying Sharp Pause Screen description in Kirby Star Allies

When recruited, Blade Knight can also have his sword infused with elements such as Sizzle and Bluster. Like many Friends, Blade Knight has less health than Kirby.

Blade Knight has his own adventure in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! and can be selected in The Ultimate Choice as a playable character.

Kirby Fighters 2

In Kirby Fighters 2, a Rare Hat inspired by Blade Knight appears. It is unlocked after reaching Fighters Rank 15.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

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

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

Image American English description British English description
BladeKnightTrophyWiiU.png "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 from 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!

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 an Australian 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.
