Gigant Edge is a Mid-Boss debuting in [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRtDL KAW]] that grants the Sword Copy Ability, and is the first mid-boss in the series to do so. He wears different, tougher armTemplate:Or than Sword Knight's, and also sports a shield (which he occasionally uses). Gigant Edge attacks by shooting waves across the ground in an attempt to hit Kirby, or charging toward Kirby with his sword.

— Steel Soldier Gigant Edge Quest description from Team Kirby Clash

Gigant Edge appears as one of the opponents that the Kirbys must battle in the Kirby: Planet Robobot Sub-Game, Team Kirby Clash. Here, he is much larger, and has much greater Stamina. He also possesses some new moves, including the ability to leap high into the air and perform a down thrust, though this also leaves him helpless for a short while, since his sword gets stuck in the ground.
