This is the third title of the "Meta Knightmare" time attack series, the first two being [[Meta Knightmare]] from ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' and [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''.

The story is effectively an alternate version of the main story, where [[Meta Knight]] leads the attack on the invading [[Haltmann Works Company]] instead of [[Kirby]], who the player is informed is still taking his nap. Meta Knight battles through all the areas, damaging the legs of the [[Access Ark]], then climbing inside to deal with its [[President Haltmann|president]]. Once this is done, Meta Knight poses in triumph, presuming his task complete, when he is spotted by the mother computer, [[Star Dream]], who was observing the battle, and now declares Meta Knight to be the new admin. As part of the initiation, Star Dream pits Meta Knight against two of its most powerful clones, [[Dark Matter Clone]] and [[Sectonia Clone]]. When they are defeated, Star Dream summons [[Galacta Knight]] from across dimensions to challenge its new admin, but Galacta Knight deals a decisive slash to the computer as soon as he is freed. With difficulty, Meta Knight defeats his magenta rival, sealing him away once more.

In the Japanese and Korean versions, Star Dream does not summon the clones as a test, but rather to fulfill Meta Knight's wish for battle, much like [[Galactic Nova]] did in [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]]. Many of the parallels between Star Dream and Galactic Nova were lost in the other foreign localizations, in particular the "READY. ->", "OK. ->", and "3... 2... 1... GO!" phrases shared between them.<ref>[https://kaialone.tumblr.com/post/655177241337249792/kirby-planet-robobot-translation-comparison-meta Kirby Planet Robobot Translation Comparison: Meta Knightmare Returns] by kaialone</ref> | |||
