==''Super Smash Bros.'' Series==
 
Although he did not appear playable, Meta Knight had a trophy dedicated to him in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It was randomly won through Collect the Trophies on Classic Mode, or the Lottery.
 
However, Meta Knight appears as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. His purple cloak is able to transform into wings, just as his Trophy from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' said. He utilizes his golden sword, the Galaxia, as his main weapon of choice. He can also multi-jump like [[Kirby]] and [[Jigglypuff]] and, by using his wings, he can [[Gliding|glide]]. He also has a stage in his honor, his very own war ship called the [[Battleship Halberd|Halberd]]. Meta Knight's voice actor from the Kirby anime series, ''Atsushi Kisaichi'', provides Meta Knight's voice in Japanese version ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
 
===[[Solid Snake]] Codec Conversation===
*'''Snake''': Mei Ling, there's a mysterious masked man flying around here with a sword...
*'''Mei Ling''': That's Meta Knight. He's a knight from Dream Land. They say his sword swings can break the sound barrier. Whatever you do, don't get caught in one of his furious barrage attacks. He also commands the Halberd, a flying battleship.
*'''Snake''': Mm, I've seen it. The bow looks like his mask. What kind of weirdo puts his face on the bow of a ship, anyway?
*'''Mei Ling''': Umm, maybe he's a little narcissistic. Kind of like someone else I know.
*'''Snake''': Really... And who would that be?
*'''Mei Ling''': Use your imagination...
 
===Role in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Story|Subspace Emissary]]===
[[Image:Subspace_metaknight.PNG|thumb|left|Meta Knight's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
Meta Knight's story starts before the events of the actual game, trying to defend the [[Battleship Halberd]] from [[Master Hand]] and the [[Subspace Army]], but was unwittingly prevented from doing as such by [[King Dedede]]. His actual first appearance was when he runs into [[Marth]], who was investigating the activity going on in [[the Battlefield Fortress]]. After a brief duel, they team up to take on the Subspace Army. Afterwards, they are chasing the [[Ancient Minister]] when [[Ike]] shows up to disarm the [[Subspace Bomb]] the Minister had been carrying.
 
Meta Knight and his cohorts ultimately lose the Ancient Minister near the edge of [[the Wilds]], but they do find [[Galleom]] in the middle of the desert. After Meta Knight defeats him, Galleom goes to [[the Ruined Hall]] and comes out holding [[Lucas]] and the [[Pokémon Trainer]] in one hand, with a Subspace Bomb about to go off in his head. Although Lucas manages to free himself and the Trainer, Meta Knight saves them when they almost hit the ground.
 
Meta Knight finally finds the Halberd fighting the [[Great Fox]] above [[the Glacial Peak]], and leaves his team behind to climb the mountain. As he does this, however, the [[Ice Climbers]] race him and beat him to the top. At the summit, Meta Knight discovers the Aura [[Pokémon]] [[Lucario]], who challenges him to a fight.
 
After the battle, Meta Knight and Lucario agree to team up and enter the Halberd, where they find [[Solid Snake]] thanks to the use of Lucario's Aura. The three of them rescue [[Princess Peach]] and [[Princess Zelda]] from their [[False Peach|evil]] [[False Zelda|counterparts]] before heading to the cockpit to find many [[Mr. Game & Watch]]es controlling the Halberd. Lucario and Snake take care of them while Meta Knight takes the Halberd back.
 
Eventually, Meta Knight goes into Subspace with everyone else, although the Halberd is destroyed by the [[Subspace Gunship]] as they do this. They find [[Tabuu]], who fires his [[Off Waves]] at them and turns them into trophies. [[Kirby]], however, is revived by one of [[King Dedede]]'s badges and saves Meta Knight along with some of the others before going into [[the Great Maze]] to stop Tabuu.

|''The mysterious head of the Meta-Knights, he wields his sword with dignity. He delivered his sword to Kirby and demanded single combat in a show of knightly honor; his strict adherence to his code of ethics makes him a rarity in Dream Land. Sometimes he throws off his cape in battle. It occasionally transforms into wings.

|''The head of the Meta-Knights, and something of a rival to Kirby. He's quite an accomplished swordsman. Following his code of knightly ethics, he once delivered his sword to Kirby and demanded single combat. His giant cape transforms into wings, giving him the power of flight. He's shown his face briefly before, but his relationship to Kirby is still a mystery.

|''Meta Knight's Final Smash. He flips his cape, and the darkness within envelops his foes and plunges the world into shadow. He then unleashes a series of sword strikes that do terrible damage and launch his foes. In the darkness, Meta Knight can also reach and attack distant enemies. One can imagine Meta Knight zipping back and forth at high speed to accomplish this.

== Trivia ==
 
* Meta Knight was also in [[Toys#Nintendo Monopoly|Nintendo Monopoly]], where he took the position of St. Charles Place, and cost $140.
* Without his mask on, Meta Knight looks very much like Kirby, except with a blue body with white eyes.
