Meta Knight flies to various places in [[Dream Land]], training to become stronger.

As expected, moving Meta Knight is different from moving Kirby. Meta Knight can't [[inhale]] or copy foes, but he always can fly like the [[wing]] ability and attack like the [[sword]] ability. Also, Meta Knight can use energy, as explained below. [[Food]] is harder to find, as all normal food is removed, and [[Maxim Tomato|Maxim Tomatoes]] and [[Copy Pedestal]]s are replaced by food.

===Energy===
===Energy===
Meta Knight not only gets score for defeating enemies, he also gets energy from them. He gets one to three energy from an enemy, depending on the strength of the enemy. For example, he can only get one energy from [[Broom Hatter]] or [[Waddle Dee]], but he can get two from [[Waddle Doo]] or [[Knuckle Joe]] and three from [[Grizzo]]. He gets five energy from a [[mid-boss]] and ten from a [[boss]], regardless of whether they are easy, like [[Whispy Woods]], or more difficult, like [[Wham Bam Rock]] or [[Heavy Lobster]]. Meta Knight can use this energy to perform special attacks. Each one is performed by tapping its icon on the [[Nintendo DS]] touch screen. He can only hold up to 50 energy.

— Meta Knightmare Ultra description

Meta Knightmare Ultra is an Extra Mode exclusive to Kirby Super Star Ultra, based on Meta Knightmare from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. It includes all the main games from Kirby Super Star Ultra (minus Gourmet Race and Revenge of the King), with one main difference: the player plays as Meta Knight instead of Kirby or a helper. Also unlike the original games, the time it takes to complete each game is recorded.

This game also has its own storyline, though it is mostly relegated to short cutscenes that mirror the original games' events, with an original plot only coming into play near the end of the story.

This is the second title of the "Meta Knightmare" time attack series, the first being Meta Knightmare from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and the latest being Meta Knightmare Returns from Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Story[edit]

Nova: "READY. ->"
"I WILL GRANT YOU ONE WISH... ->"
Meta Knight: "My one wish is to become stronger..."
"So I wish to fight..."
"the greatest warrior in the galaxy!"
Nova: "OK. ->"
"YOU WILL NOW FIGHT A WARRIOR WHO WAS SEALED AWAY FOR FEAR HIS POWER WAS TOO GREAT... ->"
"I WILL NOW SUMMON THIS GREAT WARRIOR ONCE MORE... ->"
"...3... 2... 1... GO! ->"

After being defeated by Kirby in Revenge of Meta Knight, Meta Knight goes on a journey to train and become stronger. He retraces Kirby's steps on Pop Star, sinks his own battleship, gathers power from the surrounding planets, then finally summons the wish-granting Galactic Nova, still visibly damaged from its destruction in Milky Way Wishes. Meta Knight wishes to fight the greatest warrior in the galaxy, so Nova calls in Galacta Knight, who was sealed away because he was thought to be too powerful. Once Meta Knight defeats Galacta Knight, his training and the mode are both complete.

Gameplay differences[edit]

As expected, moving Meta Knight is different from moving Kirby. Meta Knight can't inhale or copy foes, but he always can fly like the Wing Copy Ability and attack like the Sword Copy Ability. Also, Meta Knight can use energy, as explained below. Food is harder to find, as all normal food is removed, and Maxim Tomatoes and Copy Essences are replaced by food.

Energy[edit]

Meta Knight not only gets score for defeating enemies, he also gets energy from them. He gets one to three energy from an enemy, depending on the strength of the enemy. For example, he can only get one energy from Broom Hatter or Waddle Dee, but he can get two from Waddle Doo or Knuckle Joe and three from Grizzo. He gets five energy from a Mid-Boss and ten from a boss, regardless of whether they are easy, like Whispy Woods, or more difficult, like Wham Bam Rock or Heavy Lobster. Meta Knight can use this energy to perform special attacks. Each one is performed by tapping its icon on the Nintendo DS touch screen. He can only hold up to 50 energy.
