'''Sword Knight''' is a relatively obscure sword-wielding [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], wearing green or purple armor and wielding a spiked blade either white or golden in hue. First appearing in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', | '''Sword Knight''' is a relatively obscure sword-wielding [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], wearing green or purple armor and wielding a spiked blade either white or golden in hue. First appearing in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', it makes a fair number of appearances in early ''Kirby'' games, and will grant Kirby the [[Sword]] [[Copy Ability]] when swallowed. Sword Knight is normally found in random areas, and is usually ranked as a minor enemy, but it tends to have more prestige (if nothing else) than its cousin [[Blade Knight]], despite appearing less often. Sword Knight also appears in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' as an ally and an apprentice of [[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]]. | ||
