Halberd
The Halberd is a giant airship owned by Meta Knight. It first appeared in Kirby Super Star and later in its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. It also appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where it plays a major role in the plot of the Subspace Emissary, but is destroyed when a lethal beam shoots it down.
The Halberd possesses four bat-like wings (two on each side) and Meta Knight's mask built on the tip of the ship to display who it belongs to. On its main deck, the Halberd has a machine consisting of a laser cannon, a normal cannon that launches bombs and a robotic arm installed to protect the ship. When Kirby fights against this machine in Super Star or Super Star Ultra, it uses the bomb cannon and the laser to attack him, whereas the and the robotic hand holds bombs, which can give Kirby the Bomb Copy Ability.
In Kirby Squeak Squad, when Kirby enter Meta Knight's boss stage he enters an underwater room with powerups, in the next room he fights Meta Knight. The stage is rising from the sea into space. After you beat Meta Knight you can see the Halberd at level 1 of world 8, suggesting that this was the place Kirby and Meta Knight fought.
Trivia
- In every game the Halberd has appeared in so far, it takes severe damage and is destroyed (except in Squeak squad). In Kirby Super Star and its remake, it is destroyed by Kirby, whereas in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a laser beam goes through it, which does enough damage to split the ship in two.
- When Meta Knight puts his hands on the steering wheel of the Halberd in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the sky turns from red to blue, due to the fact that it was controlled by the dark army of the subspace.
