This masked swordsman appears in several games featuring Kirby as Kirby’s mysterious rival. His giant cape transforms into wings, giving him the power of flight, and he captains a giant battleship called the Halberd. In the Kirby™ Air Riders game, Meta Knight and others can ride machines like the Shadow Star: an Air Ride Machine that soars on sleek and shadowy wings while airborne and that can cause major damage with its attacks with even a single hit.
