Galacta Knight

"My one wish is to become stronger... So I wish to fight... the greatest warrior in the galaxy!"

- Meta Knight

Galacta Knight (Galactic Knight in Japan) is, according to Nova, the greatest warrior in the galaxy, whom Meta Knight wishes to fight in an attempt to best him - only then does he feel that he can be called the most powerful warrior. Nova recalls that Galacta Knight was sealed away for fear that his powers were too great. Meta Knight gathers the planet's stars to summon Nova who in turn summons the great Galacta Knight for him. When Meta Knight beats him, he turns white and explodes, shattering into pieces. He appears as the final boss in Meta Knightmare Ultra, and then as the penultimate boss in The True Arena.

Physical Appearance
Galacta Knight is largely similar to Meta Knight. He has a hot pink body,which is slightly darker than Kirby's skin color, dark red eyes, and wears whitish-platinum armor with two golden horns rising up from the top of his mask. Galacta Knight is also somewhat larger than his counterparts, Meta Knight and Kirby. His mask has a vertical and horizontal opening as opposed to Meta Knight, who only has a horizontal opening in his mask. Galacta Knight also features feathered wings as opposed to Meta Knight's cape, which can transform into leathery bat-like wings. Galacta Knight wields a powerful pink lance (as opposed to Meta Knight's sword) and also carries a white shield with a pink cross.

Galacta Knight's eyes are noticeably much more rectangular than Meta Knight's eyes.

Attacks
Galacta Knight has variants of all the attacks Meta Knight had when he fought Kirby earlier in the game. He can also summon Ax Knights, Javelin Knights, Mace Knights, and Trident Knights to help him. His lance can also shoot out a deadly beam whip that directs in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. In addition, he can summon fire walls. The player can see where the fire is about to erupt by looking at the ground, however. He can also send out a giant tornado or use Mach Tornado, a move normally used by Meta Knight. His shield also sends off a yellow blade that is like the Cutter power, only it shoots forward and doesn't spin back. Other attacks consist of him flying and attacking the enemy with his lance. After doing an attack, he stands still for a few seconds, allowing the player to cause some damage to him.
