The lone illusory foe that you encountered outside of Forgo Dreams. When Fecto Forgo tried to control Meta Knight like it had King Dedede, the experienced swordsman came out on top through sheer force of will... but the result was this mysterious doppelgänger, formed by the residual psychic energy!
— Phantom Meta Knight's figure description in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Phantom Meta Knight (titled The Lone Illusion) is a more powerful illusory form of Meta Knight which appears as a secret boss in The Ultimate Cup Z of the Colosseum in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Phantom Meta Knight looks and fights largely the same as its real counterpart, but has a different neon color scheme, now sporting teal skin and shoulder cuffs, as well as a purple mask and eyes.

As indicated by its figure description, Phantom Meta Knight was not directly created by Fecto Forgo, unlike the other Phantom bosses, because they could not control Meta Knight like they did with King Dedede. This adds an extra layer of meaning to its title of "the lone illusion". Adding to this, Phantom Meta Knight is fought in a dreamlike version of the Colosseum, suggesting that it may be based on Meta Knight's memories rather than Fecto Forgo's (as they are never directly fought there). When defeated, its mask breaks like the real Meta Knight, but it explodes afterwards instead of fleeing.
