Parallel Meta Knight

Parallel Meta Knight, titled Otherworldly Frost Blade, is the Parallel counterpart to Meta Knight, who makes his appearance as a boss in Heroes in Another Dimension of Kirby Star Allies.
Origin[edit]
“ | When the Jamba Hearts rained down, Meta Knight set out alone to protect the Sacred Square. Ah, but he was turned by the dark power of the hearts...and reborn as a deviant corruption of his usual chivalrous form! | ” | — VS Parallel Meta Knight (English) |
The English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Dutch localizations of Parallel Meta Knight's pause flavor text misinterpret his origin. As the original Japanese and localized Chinese and Korean texts describe:
“ | メタナイトは ジャマハートが ふり注ぐ中、一人セイント スクエアーズに 向かい、住民を守っていた。そこでハートに ふれ、意しきを 失うが やってきた カービィたちに 救われた。 その時、彼の思ねんが ジャマハートを 通じて 異界へ運ばれ、 クローンとも ちがう、異界のナイトを 生み出したのだ! |
” | — VS Parallel Meta Knight (Japanese) |
“ | 메타 나이트는 자마 하트가 흘뿌리는 와중에 홀로 세이크리드 스퀘어로 가서 주민을 지켰지만 그곳에서 하트를 만지고 의식을 잃게 된다. 다행히 커비 일행의 도움을 받았지만 그의 정신은 자마 하트를 통해 이공간 으로 건너가서 이공간의 나이트가 만들어지고 말았다! |
” | — VS Parallel Meta Knight (Korean) |
The following is the translation of the Japanese and Korean texts:
"When the Jamba Hearts rained down, Meta Knight set out alone to protect the residents of Sacred Square. He was struck by one Jamba Heart and lost his consciousness, but he was saved by the arrived Kirby and co. It was at that time that his spirit along with that Jamba Heart were cast out into another dimension. As a result, an otherworldly knight, not a clone, was born!"
The origin of Parallel Meta Knight is similar to that of Parallel Dedede: As the original King Dedede and Meta Knight were defeated by Kirby in Story Mode, their spirits and the Jamba Hearts possessing them went to Another Dimension and the parallel versions were born. Thus, Parallel Meta Knight is a different character from Meta Knight.
Parallel Woods, Parallel Twin Kracko/Parallel Big Kracko, Parallel Meta Knight and Parallel Dedede are the "Otherworldly Four Heavenly Kings" as described in the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions.
Physical appearance[edit]
Parallel Meta Knight looks identical to Meta Knight but with a much darker color palette. He has a pitch-black body, red eyes and a brown/golden set of armor. He wields an identical version of Galaxia as well.
Boss battle[edit]
Parallel Meta Knight appears in the following game modes:
Mode | Level | HP (Star Bullet=52) |
Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Heroes in Another Dimension | Dimension III | 1200 | He appears as the boss at the end of Dimension III. |
Guest Star The Three Mage-Sisters | Level 2 | 1200 | He replaces the Meta Knight boss battle at the end of Level 2. |
The Ultimate Choice | Soul Melter EX | 900 | He appears in the 9th battle. |
Unlike Meta Knight, Parallel Meta Knight doesn't leave a sword for Kirby to pick up, and he will immediately jump off the cliff and begin the battle.
Parallel Meta Knight shares similar attacks to that of Meta Knight, but also possesses the Triple Crescent Shot, Knight Spin and Galactic Counter attacks. Much like Meta Knight, he can often guard, which can nullify any damage from Kirby and co. Sword ability allies (including Blade Knight, Meta Knight and Dark Meta Knight) can interrupt his sword attacks. In the second phase, he can also duplicate into up to four Parallel Meta Knights depending on the number of Kirby's allies.
The following lists Parallel Meta Knight's attacks. Attacks in italics are used in the second phase only.
Parallel Meta Knight's Attacks | |
---|---|
Attack | Description |
Backhand Slash | Parallel Meta Knight performs a backhand slash. He may do this while dashing as well. |
Backhand Slash - Triple Slash | Parallel Meta Knight performs a backhand slash followed by Triple Slash. |
Hyper Rush - Crescent Shot | Parallel Meta Knight performs a multithrust and then fires a crescent-shaped energy wave. |
Triple Crescent Shot | Parallel Meta Knight fires 3 Crescent Shots in a row. |
Aerial Crescent Shot | Parallel Meta Knight jumps and fires 3 Crescent Shots at the same time. |
Glide Sword | Parallel Meta Knight glides while thrusting his sword. |
Down Thrust | Parallel Meta Knight jumps and thrusts down his sword, leaving two stars on impact. |
Knight Spin | Parallel Meta Knight jumps and performs a vertical spinning slash. |
Tornado |
Parallel Meta Knight requires charging to use this attack.
After releasing his charge, he stabs his sword into the ground to summon giant tornado(es) that travel across the stage.
If the allies are hit by the tornado, they will be thrown into the air and take damage when crashing onto the ground. |
Upper Calibur |
Parallel Meta Knight requires charging to use this attack.
After releasing his charge, Parallel Meta Knight dashes and performs an upper slash.
|
Galactic Counter | Parallel Meta Knight enters a counter pose, like Meta Knight's Galactic Counter. If he is attacked by any means during this pose (including via sliding[1]), he will counterattack with a sword slash. During the charge-up animation, any attacks that hit him will deal no damage. |
Duplicate | Parallel Meta Knight always begins with this attack in the second phase.
Parallel Meta Knight duplicates himself. The number of Parallel Meta Knights in play depends on how many allies there are:
Every Parallel Meta Knight takes damage. Each of them attacks independently of the others. |
Force Holdings | Two Parallel Meta Knights on the ground each fires a purple force beam in an attempt to catch the allies, which cannot be guarded. If successful, he will slam the trapped allies with the purple force. Trapped allies can escape by mashing the Control Stick or directional buttons rapidly.
|
Force Falls | The duplicated Parallel Meta Knights fly to the background. Using the purple force, they summon large boulders to hurl at the allies. The boulders stack into pillars, the number of which matches the number of Parallel Meta Knights. Then, every Parallel Meta Knight cuts down a pillar in a flash, creating smaller rocks on his both sides which can be inhaled.
After the pillar slashes, the duplicates will merge back into the only one Parallel Meta Knight. |
Duplicate Glide Sword | All duplicated Parallel Meta Knights Shuttle Loop towards a given character's position three times in a row. The Parallel Meta Knights each target one character to Shuttle Loop towards. If fighting him with only one character, both Parallel Meta Knights target just that character. |
When Parallel Meta Knight is defeated, his mask breaks, revealing his true face just like the recurring scenario of Meta Knight. Then, he wraps himself with his cape and escapes.
Music[edit]
Parallel Meta Knight and Parallel Dedede share the same battle theme. It is composed by Yuuta Ogasawara and titled 異空をかけた剣王との戦い[2] (A Battle With the Distant Otherworldly Sword King). It can be found as Track 193 in the Jukebox.
The first verse is the same as the battle theme of Parallel Woods and Parallel Big Kracko, but is followed by rock remixes of "My Friend and the Sunset" and "King Dedede's Theme". "Sword King" actually refers to both Parallel Meta Knight (sword) and Parallel Dedede (king).
Trivia[edit]
- Parallel Meta Knight's version of Upper Calibur can deplete about 70% of Kirby's health, making it one of the most damaging boss attacks in the main series Kirby games. His version is even stronger than Morpho Knight EX's version.
