| “ | My one wish is to become stronger... So I wish to fight... the greatest warrior in the galaxy!” |
| — Meta Knight • Kirby Super Star Ultra |
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. He appears as the final boss in Meta Knightmare Ultra, and then again in The True Arena.
Physical Appearance
Galacta Knight is largely similar to Meta Knight. He has a hot pink body, dark red eyes, and wears whitish-platinum armor with two golden horns rising up from the top of his mask. 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 shield. When Meta Knight beats him he turns white and explodes, shattering into pieces.
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.
