After defeating [[President Haltmann]] 2.0, [[Meta Knight]], presuming his work finished, makes a triumphant pose. Then, the supercomputer [[Star Dream]] activates behind him. The computer proclaims Meta Knight to be the new admin, and as such, vets him through a special credential process dubbed "Sword_Master.EXE", where he must prove his worth as a swordfighter. The first challenge Star Dream sends is the clone of Dark Matter in his Swordsman form.

Music

Main article: Dark Matter Blade (theme)
Main article: Real Dark Matter (theme)

Dark Matter Clone's theme is titled Reproduction of Darkness (暗黒の復刻 in Japanese). It's an arrangement utilizing Dark Matter's themes of both forms from Kirby's Dream Land 2.

Trivia

  • The rainbow aura that sometimes appears around Dark Matter Clone's sword is a reference to the Rainbow Sword that Kirby used to defeat Dark Matter in Kirby's Dream Land 2.
    • During the "Kirby: Planet Robobot Drawing and Screenshot Challenge" on Miiverse, it was explained that this rainbow aura was the result of Dark Matter's lingering memories of the Rainbow Sword when fighting Kirby, which got transferred into the clone.
  • When defeated, the clone dissolves into the purple goo it once formed from. Just before it explodes, it briefly takes the shape of Real Dark Matter, its true form.
  • Interestingly, the text that appears before fighting it in The True Arena in the American English version calls it Dark Matter Blade rather than "Dark Matter Clone". Given that its Japanese name is クローン剣士ダークマター (Clone Swordsman Dark Matter), it can be assumed that the full name is Dark Matter Blade Clone and it was simply abbreviated due to character limits. In the British English version, it is referred to as "Dark Matter Clone" instead of "Dark Matter Blade" in both The True Arena Rest Area and during the battle itself.
  • Dark Matter Clone takes this form for a very brief moment before exploding.
