Creating this dark swordsman pushed Star Dream to the limits of its abilities. The cloning process was a success, but only a partial data analysis was possible, and its true form has not yet emerged.

Dark Matter Clone is a surprise Boss encountered near the end of Meta Knightmare Returns in Kirby: Planet Robobot. It is not the real Dark Matter, but fights much like its incarnation in Kirby's Dream Land 2.

“

As a new admin, you must supply your credentials... to the strongest warriors of this planet. Executing Sword_Master.EXE.

”

— Star Dream - addressing Meta Knight in Meta Knightmare Returns

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, wherein he must prove his worth as a swordfighter. The first challenge Star Dream sends is the clone of Dark Matter, dubbed Sword_Master.EXE.

Boss Fight

The following lists all of Dark Matter Clone's attacks in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Attacks - Phase 1
Attack	Description
Dark Sword Beam	Dark Matter Clone fires a series of blasts from its sword straight forward. It may also charge up and perform a more rapid-fire version.
Rainbow Dive	Dark Matter Clone's sword glows with a rainbow aura, and it dives toward Meta Knight, leaving stars as it passes.
Dark Orb Shot	Dark Matter Clone fires several dark orbs that bounce around the screen. These can be hit to knock them back at the clone.

When Dark Matter Clone is reduced to half health, it pauses for a brief moment, regains composure, and a single large eye appears on its torso, resembling Dark Matter's characteristic eye.

Attacks - Phase 2
Attack	Description
Dark Beam Wave	Dark Matter Clone fires multiple dark beams from its eye that make a spiral across the stage, leaving four stars on the ground.
Orbitars	Dark Matter Clone creates four orbiting spheres of energy around itself, then fires them, leaving a brief danger zone on the ground where they hit. They can be preemptively knocked away, and provide Meta Knight with energy if done so. Kirby can also swallow these to gain the Fire ability.
Rainbow Fury	Dark Matter Clone's sword glows with a rainbow aura, then the clone starts thrashing it about as it dives several times across the stage.
Dark Lightning	Dark Matter Clone fires numerous dark lightning bolts from its eye. Each one leaves a star on impact.

Once Dark Matter Clone is defeated, it dissolves back into the purple goo from whence it was formed, collapsing tumultuously in on itself before exploding.

Other Appearances

Dark Matter Clone is also fought, just before Sectonia Clone, in The True Arena.

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.
• When defeated, the clone dissolves into the purple goo it once formed from. Just before it explodes, it briefly takes the shape of Dark Matter in its final orb form.
