Meta Knight's role in the series is as a distant mentor for Kirby and his closest friends, and provides them with important expository information as well as protecting them in their times of greatest need. His main reason for keeping aloof is twofold--to avoid drawing too much suspicion from King Dedede (who believes Meta Knight to be his loyal servant) and to remain hidden from Night Mare Enterprises, who are actively trying to hunt him down as one of the last surviving veterans from the galactic war between the [[Star Warrior]]s and eNeMeE. Another reason lays in his philosophy as a mentor, believing that he needs to allow Kirby and his friends space to fail so they can learn - the hard way if necessary - how to protect each-other and their home. As such, he only steps in to assist them when they are well and truly in over their heads, otherwise just showing up to offer hints. Even given this largely lopsided relationship, Meta Knight does occasionally participate in the more light-hearted moments in the show, and also takes a few opportunities to learn from his own apprentices and receive aid from them. | Meta Knight's role in the series is as a distant mentor for Kirby and his closest friends, and provides them with important expository information as well as protecting them in their times of greatest need.

One of Meta Knight's more specific roles is that he provides exposition to Tiff and Tuff (and the audience by proxy) about Kirby's abilities, particularly when he is in combat. In nearly every case where Kirby has acquired a new [[Copy Ability]], Meta Knight is there to reveal the ability's name and comment on it. | ||
Meta Knight takes a much more active role in the series' finale, when he reveals to the Dream Landers that he had been working in secret on a space-faring [[Halberd|battleship]] which he intends to use to launch an attack on eNeMeE and [[eNeMeE's Fortress|his fortress]]. To this end, he receives help from Kirby and his friends, and also manages to draw in some of the bolder Cappies from the village. Along the way, he also receives assistance from some old friends from his days in the Galaxy Soldier Army, and together, they all manage to bring eNeMeE and his galactic empire down for good. | Meta Knight takes a much more active role in the series' finale, when he reveals to the Dream Landers that he had been working in secret on a space-faring [[Halberd|battleship]] which he intends to use to launch an attack on eNeMeE and [[eNeMeE's Fortress|his fortress]].
