YOU WILL NOW FIGHT A WARRIOR WHO WAS SEALED AWAY FOR FEAR HIS POWER WAS TOO GREAT... -> I WILL NOW SUMMON THIS GREAT WARRIOR ONCE MORE... -> 3… 2… 1… GO!
— Galactic Nova inMeta Knightmare Ultra,Kirby Super Star Ultra

Galacta Knight (referred to asAeon Hero in Quests inSuper Kirby Clash) is a powerful recurringboss in theKirby series, commonly referred to as an "ancient hero", the "Temporal Warrior", or "the greatest warrior in the galaxy". Galacta Knight greatly resemblesMeta Knight, even being the same size, but sports key visual differences. His body is magenta in color, and his eyes behind his mask are magenta (red in games prior toKirby Star Allies). His mask has a pointed cross-shaped visor on it instead of a horizontal slit. Unlike Meta Knight's bat wings, Galacta Knight has feathered angelic wings. Galacta Knight also has two golden horns protruding from his mask, unlike Meta Knight. He fights with a magenta lance and a shield with a four-pointed star on it, much like the design of his mask.

Characteristics[edit]

Galacta Knight was designed to contrast Meta Knight.

Galacta Knight resembles Meta Knight greatly in terms of physique and general movement and attack patterns. The primary difference is in his color scheme, as well as the details of his armor and weapon. Galacta Knight sports a primarily magenta body hue, only slightly off in color fromKirby. Notably, his feet are also magenta, which differentiates him from both Kirby and Meta Knight, whose feet do not match their body color. Galacta Knight's eyes are rendered as simple colored circles, which are red inKirby Super Star Ultra untilKirby: Planet Robobot and magenta inKirby Star Allies onwards. What he looks like without his mask issimply unknown, since unlike Meta Knight, his mask has never broken in any scene.

According to a Miiverse post going over the winning drawing of the "Kirby: Planet Robobot Drawing and Screenshot Challenge", Galacta Knight was given "...an angelic, godlike look to contrast with Meta Knight's bat-like wings".[1] He sports a fancy white mask with a pointed cross-shaped visor and two yellow horns. Like Meta Knight, he sports two pauldrons and greaves, though these have no emblem on them. To fly, he uses a pair of angelic white wings. He carries a magenta lance with a circular cross-guard on the hilt, though it resembles a standard sword due to its short length. He also carries a shield with a four-pointed star emblem embossed on the front, and sometimes outlined with a slightly darker shade of magenta. That star varies in color between magenta and golden yellow based on appearance. Galacta Knight makes good use of his kit as he battles, as he can fly freely, deliver rapid flurries with his lance, and block with his shield, even when moving.

In his official artwork forKirby Super Star Ultra and the "Super Ultra Battle"Celebration Picture fromKirby Star Allies, Galacta Knight's body is depicted as indigo instead of magenta.

Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

Galacta Knight fighting Kirby in the True Arena ofKirby Super Star Ultra.

Galacta Knight made his debut as a surprise boss inKirby Super Star Ultra. At the end ofMeta Knightmare Ultra,Meta Knight meetsGalactic Nova, who grants him one wish. Meta Knight wishes to fight the strongest warrior in the galaxy so that he may become stronger, so Nova summons Galacta Knight, who had been sealed away because of his immense power. After his defeat, Galacta Knight flies upwards, randomly starts teleporting and explodes, which causes him to lose his wings, lance and shield.

Galacta Knight's attack patterns are similar to Meta Knight's, but he makes liberal use of energy attacks. He oftenguards as well, which makes him invulnerable to damage in the process. He is also battled byKirby inThe True Arena. When on the ground, he hovers instead of standing most of the time. Unlike most other bosses, instead of losing over half of their health when hit by aMach Tornado, Galacta Knight loses only a small fraction of his health, because of his resistance to "Crash-type" attacks, Mach Tornado being one of them. Final bosses in later titles tend to also resist similar attacks as well.

Thetheater cutscene of this game where Galacta Knight gets summoned by Nova is called "Galactic Knight", which is a literal translation of his Japanese name. As he has never been called "Galactic Knight" ever since, this is likely a mistake.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land[edit]

Galacta Knight encased in his gem seal before the battle begins.

Galacta Knight reappears inKirby's Return to Dream Land. He is first seen in the Secret Ending after the player completesExtra Mode, indicating his appearance elsewhere in the game.

Galacta Knight is eventually encountered as a surprise boss inThe True Arena, betweenHR-D3 andMagolor EX, fought in an area that resembles that ofDangerous Dinner - Stage 3. He first appears in his gem seal, seen in flashback inKirby Super Star Ultra, before breaking free to begin the fight. He is fought nowhere else in the game. Galacta Knight also makes an appearance in the audience during theKirby Master! cutscene.

His battle themes are "Guardian Angel: Landia" (Landia's battle theme) in phase 1 and "Otherworldly Warrior" (a new remix of hisKirby Super Star Ultra battle theme) in phase 2.

Attacks[edit]

Galacta Knight fights in two phases, and has several new attacks in his arsenal, including summoning lightning bolts as well as firing lots of energy sword projectiles that bounce off the ground. He oftenguards as well, which makes him invulnerable from damage in the process. Unlike inKirby Super Star Ultra, he stands and dashes on the ground in this game.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

Galacta Knight is referenced as a rareKeychain. He also makes a small cameo during theKirby Master! cutscene, where he can be seen in the audience, in the back row.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

You are mighty indeed. Now for the final test… This was prohibited by the previous admin… Preparing to boot theSpace-Time Transport program… Let us bring back a legendary swordsman from a forgotten time. He may end up destroying a nearby planet or two, but such is life. The benefits of this final battle outweigh the collateral damage. Prepare yourself…
— Star Dream, addressingMeta Knight inMeta Knightmare Returns,Kirby: Planet Robobot (American English)

InKirby: Planet Robobot, Galacta Knight (here referred to asGalacta Knight Returns) is summoned as the final opponent for Meta Knight to face in the "Sword_Master.EXE" credential process (afterDark Matter Clone andSectonia Clone) inMeta Knightmare Returns. Galacta Knight did not appreciate getting forcefully yanked from beyond space and time against his will,[2] so he immediately thanks his summoner,Star Dream, by producing a massive, debilitating gash across its hull, causing it to topple over. Meta Knight must fight and defeat him again, all the while dealing with his new and powerful arsenal. Once defeated, Galacta Knight is re-sealed, and sent back from whence he came. Galacta Knight is also faced by Kirby inThe True Arena. In there, instead of being summoned byStar Dream, Galacta Knight comes down to the field in his seal, and breaks out of it. His defeat animation is also different, mirroring his defeat inKirby Super Star Ultra.

In the Japanese and Korean versions of the game, Galacta Knight's pause screen description states that he is capable of bringing everything to ruin, and that he was sealed many times over the ages but never successfully destroyed.[3][4]

Galacta Knight's attacks are basically the same as inKirby's Return to Dream Land but with a few changes. He also hovers on the ground like his debut inKirby Super Star Ultra. The following lists all of Galacta Knight's attacks inKirby: Planet Robobot.

Kirby Battle Royale[edit]

Galacta Knight Mask inKirby Battle Royale

InKirby Battle Royale, theGalacta Knight Mask is one of Meta Knight's alternative pieces ofHeadgear, unlocked by scanning the Meta Knightamiibo.

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

Main article:Morpho Knight

InKirby Star Allies, Galacta Knight is first seen during "Kirby's Curtain Call", indicating his appearance elsewhere in the game. Later, Galacta Knight appears with the alias "Temporal Warrior" at the end ofGuest Star ???? Star Allies Go! to serve as the final boss. However, before he gets the chance, a strangebutterfly lands on his lance, casts judgment on him and absorbs his power, creating a new swordsman calledMorpho Knight.

Galacta Knight's appearance and subsequent removal can be seen as a joke at the old warrior's expense, as his appearances were no longer a surprise. His Japanese title inKirby Star Allies,時巡る戦士 ("The Warrior Who Crosses Time"), is a reference to theKirby: Planet Robobot arrangement of his theme (時巡る銀河最強の戦士).

Galacta Knight also appears in the "Super Ultra Battle"Celebration Picture.

Additionally, according toShinya Kumazaki, Galacta Knight was considered as aDream Friend forKirby Star Allies, along with other characters such asDrawcia,Elline andShadow Kirby, but ultimately wasn't chosen due to a rule that was established soon after, which excluded characters who first appeared in remakes.[5]

Clips ofAeon Hero's themes fromSuper Kirby Clash

 This box: view  talk  edit 
The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy appears as the Aeon Hero inSuper Kirby Clash.

InSuper Kirby Clash, Galacta Knight (now calledAeon Hero in Quests) appears as the last opponent in the game. He is summoned via extra-dimensional road byParallel Nightmare's Revenge as a last resort to defeat Team Kirby, but the angered warrior slays the wizard before engaging them. Just as before, Aeon Hero possesses immense magical power in addition to wielding a lance and shield, but this time, he has two alternate powered-up forms, referred to asAeon Hero (Light) andAeon Hero (Dark), which change his appearance and alter some of his attacks. Additionally, just like other enemies in the game, Aeon Hero has been scaled up, making him an imposing figure.

Aeon Hero is faced in a total of four different Quests, all of which are Ordeals. His first appearance is in his standard form just after Parallel Nightmare's Revenge summons him in Toughest: The True Final Battle, his second is in his Light form for the final Story Quest, his third is a Super rank Party Quest in his normal form, and the last is the final Super+ rank Party Quest in his Dark form. When his Light form is defeated, Aeon Hero dissipates leaving a scattering of feathers, similarly to howMorpho Knight dissipates inKirby Star Allies. When defeated in his Dark form, he is sealed back into the crystal and sent through a vortex back into the alternate dimension from whence he came.

On theSuper Kirby Clash Channel, general directorShinya Kumazaki explains the origins behind Aeon Hero as such:

If you've played previous Kirby games, you may notice that this powerful character looks a bit familiar. For his design, we wanted him to have a different effect, but the designer also wanted this character's armor to look heroic and reminiscent of his days as a champion.
Due to this character's special appearance, the game director,Yumi Todo, requested that he not have a clear name. Instead, he was given the name "The Aeon Hero," which sounds more like his title. We used a similar tactic when namingKing D-Mind.
The Dark version of the Aeon Hero character appears as an online-exclusive hidden boss and has a different ending from other bosses. He may appear again someday… in another world.

— Super Kirby Clash Channel[6]


The Japanese version of this post goes into slightly more detail, explaining that Parallel Nightmare summoned Aeon Hero through "Another Dimension Road" (the same way Star Dream summons Galacta Knight inKirby: Planet Robobot; the term is variously translated as "interdimensional tunnel" or "extra-dimensional road") and that his name sounds like a title because the people of the Dream Kingdom have no name for him. In addition, the Japanese post touches on Galacta Knight's bait-and-switch appearance inKirby Star Allies, and concludes by saying that, after the Dark version of Aeon Hero is defeated, he may "wander the netherworld" before descending upon another world.[7]

Attacks[edit]

Aeon Hero's attacks are largely the same as they were in his prior appearances as Galacta Knight, though many have had updates to both appearance and function. To compensate for the increased number of his opponents, Aeon Hero relies more heavily on his big magical attacks, using his lance and shield less often. Despite his increased size compared to Galacta Knight's other appearances, most of the Aeon Hero's attacks don't have their hitboxes altered to match.

Throughout the battle, Aeon Hero may occasionally take a guarding stance. Any attacks that happen to hit during this pose deal no damage.

The following are all of Aeon Hero's attacks inSuper Kirby Clash across all four battles. Note that attack names are conjectural unless otherwise stated:

Aeon Hero's attacks inSuper Kirby Clash  
AttackDescriptionVariantsNotes
エナジーソード
Energy Sword
Aeon Hero fires several Energy Swords that bounce off the floor.Early in the fight, the Aeon Hero will summon four swords. In the second phase, he can summon three waves of swords that progressively increase in number with each one - starting at three and finishing with five. In the second phase, he may summon two waves at both sides of the stage, unleashing six swords each time.Three instances of this attack always come out first when fought in The Final Battle.
ハイパーラッシュ
Hyper Rush
Aeon Hero performs multiple slashes and fires a crescent-shaped energy wave from his lance.Aeon Hero (Light) and (Dark) fires two crescent shots at the end of the attack, one on ground level and the other diagonally-upwards. Both projectiles also move slower than usual.
たてぎり
Overhead Slash
Aeon Hero quickly slashes with his lance.
3れんぎり
Triple Slash
Aeon Hero slashes three times in a row.In the second phase, Aeon Hero may do this attack twice in a row.
波動斬り
Wave Slash
Aeon Hero throws out three waves of crescent shots with no charge time.The second crescent shot projectile Aeon Hero (Light) and (Dark) throw out is angled instead of it traveling along the ground.
回てんぎり
Spin Slash
Aeon Hero charges up for a brief moment and then performs a horizontal spin slash.If a target Kirby is airborne, Aeon Hero will instead jump and give chase in the air during the spin, much like Sword Hero's Twister Slash attack.The charge time decreases during the second phase.
ドリルスラッシュ
Drill Stab
Aeon Hero dashes while thrusting his lance.
グライドソード
Glide Sword
Aeon Hero glides while thrusting his lance. He begins by doing so in the foreground and then quickly striking Kirbys from the background twice in a row.Interestingly, if at least two Kirbys are still standing, Aeon Hero may target Kirbys that have been knocked out.
うえつき
Up Thrust
Aeon Hero thrusts his lance up only if a Kirby is above him.
下突き
Down Thrust
Aeon Hero jumps and thrusts down his lance when in midair, falling to the ground.
スピニングナイト
Knight Spin
Aeon Hero jumps into the air and quickly returns to ground level with a vertical spin slash.
ファイナルビームソード
Final Beam Sword
Aeon Hero performs a large spin attack in the air with his lance and lands on the ground, creating a large shockwave that travels across the stage on landing.Aeon Hero (Light) and (Dark) jump backwards before spinning and the shockwave that comes out upon landing is bigger and moves slower.
トルネイドアタック
Tornado Attack
Aeon Hero jumps and spins himself as an unguardable tornado. If a Kirby is hit by the tornado, he will be thrown into the air and take damage when crashing onto the floor.Aeon Hero (Light) and (Dark) may begin with a charge-up and then finish this attack with a slam that creates more tornadoes on impact. Aeon Hero (Light) creates two tornadoes, one on each side of him, while Aeon Hero (Dark) creates four tornadoes that spin around in a clockwise fashion while spreading out. In both instances, the tornadoes cannot touch the very far edges of the arena.Aeon Hero (Dark)'s tornado attack + slash combo always comes out second during The True Final Battle EX.
竜巻斬り
Tornado Slash
Aeon Hero charges up and then stabs his lance into the floor to summon several giant unguardable tornadoes that travel into the background. These tornadoes then spread out and seek a target Kirby. If a Kirby is hit by a tornado, they will be thrown into the air and take damage when crashing onto the floor. The number of tornadoes that spawn depend on the number of Kirbys that have not been knocked out.A single tornado may also be conjured which sweeps straight across the stage. Sometimes, Aeon Hero (Light) and (Dark) immediately follows this up with a Tornado Attack.
レボリューションソード
Revolution Sword
Aeon Hero flies to the middle of the stage. Then, his lance fires a laser beam that rotates around the stage.When performing this move in his Light or Dark form, the laser will create a conflagration on the ground as it passes, which then explodes hitting every grounded Kirby after the laser stops.Aeon Hero begins phase 2 of the first battle with this attack.
Aeon Hero (Light) always begins battle with this attack.
When fighting Aeon Hero (Dark), this attack always comes out second after unleashing his power.
ライジングスパイン
Rising Spine
Aeon Hero flies to the middle of the stage. Then, he summons several lightning bolts which strike in regular intervals and spacing.The pattern on these bolts can vary. One, two, three or five waves of bolts can be called down one after another.Aeon Hero always begins the Super Party Quest with one instance of this attack and three instances after unleashing his power.
When fighting Aeon Hero (Light), five instances of this attack in a row will always be used first upon unleashing his power, much like his battle inKirby: Planet Robobot.
Across all Quests, this attack will always be the first one used after recovering from aTeam Meteor attack.
トゥウェンティファイブエナジーシャワー
Twenty Five Energy Shower
Aeon Hero flies into the background and conjures twenty five energy swords which rain down onto the stage at an angle. The blind spots are at both edges of the arena.Aeon Hero (Dark) conjures magical spears in place of energy swords, which resemble thespears used to seal theJamba Heart inKirby Star Allies. The spears of the heart ignore any invincibility frames from sustaining damage and cannot be guarded. This variant can only be dodged by standing at the edge of the stage where they were fired (i.e. if Aeon Hero (Dark) launches them diagonally down-left, then a Kirby will avoid damage by moving to the far right of the stage).Aeon Hero (Dark) always starts with this attack after unleashing his power and can only use it again if he survives long enough after recovering from aTeam Meteor attack.
時界じかいだい斬閃ざんせん
Time-Border Great Slash Flash
Aeon Hero flies up and slashes the space to open a dimensional rift that connects toanother dimension. He flies off the stage so Team Kirby can't attack him. Then, the rift fires a giant unguardable laser beam diagonally downward.When fought in Party Quests, Aeon Hero may perform this move twice in succession, conjuring the next rift as the first one is still firing.When fighting Aeon Hero (Light), this attack always comes out second after unleashing his power, much like inKirby: Planet Robobot. Aeon Hero (Dark) always begins the battle with this attack.
TheJamba Heart can rarely appear during this attack.
This attack is never used during the "Toughest: The Final Battle" Story Quest.

Galacta Knight also appears as asticker, which is based on his artwork fromKirby Super Star Ultra. It is unlocked after clearing the "Super: The True Final Battle" Story Quest.

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

InKirby's Dream Buffet, Galacta Knight is represented by twoCharacter Treats. The first depicts him in sprite form fromKirby Super Star Ultra, and the second depicts him as "Aeon Hero", using his artwork fromSuper Kirby Clash.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

Galacta Knight striking a pose before battle in The True Arena fromKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe.

Galacta Knight reappears inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, where his boss fight is slightly modified from his appearance in the originalKirby's Return to Dream Land. He is once again encountered exclusively inThe True Arena, this time being fought betweenMagolor EX and theMaster Crown. He breaks free from his gem seal before the fight, though oddly enough, his eyes are already open before he breaks free, unlike in the original game.

His battle themes in this game depend on which character player 1 is using. If player 1 is Kirby or Bandana Waddle Dee, the music is the same as in the original game: "Guardian Angel: Landia" in phase 1 and "Otherworldly Warrior" in phase 2. However, if player 1 isMeta Knight orKing Dedede, the fight will play "Stage of the Partners Who Shook the Heavens" (Waning Crescent Masked Dedede & Waxing Crescent Masked Meta Knight's battle theme fromKirby Fighters 2) for phase 1 and then "The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy Ever" (hisKirby: Planet Robobot battle theme) for phase 2, rather than his usual themes.

Galacta Knight also reprises his cameo appearance in the audience during theKirby Master! cutscene. Lastly, Galacta Knight has aDress-Up Mask of his own, which can be unlocked by completing card #48 in theStamp Rally.

Attacks[edit]

The following lists all of Galacta Knight's attacks inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe.

Galacta Knight's attacks inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe  
AttackDescription
たてぎり
Overhead Slash
Galacta Knight performs a single slash.
3れんぎり
Triple Slash
Galacta Knight slashes three times in a row. This can either be followed by Hyper Rush or occur twice in a row in the second phase only.
ハイパーラッシュ
Hyper Rush
Galacta Knight performs multiple slashes and fires a crescent-shaped energy wave from his lance. He no longer stabs his lance or fires the Crescent Shot from his shield like inKirby Super Star Ultra. This attack can beguarded, unlike in the original game.
ムーンビームショット
Crescent Beam Shot
Galacta Knight fires three Crescent Shots in a row, usually in the second phase.
回てんぎり
Spin Slash
After a second or two of charging, Galacta Knight performs a horizontal spin slash, leavingDropped Stars around him. This attack can beguarded, unlike in the original game.
ドリルスラッシュ
Drill Stab
Galacta Knight dashes while thrusting his lance.
グライドソード
Glide Sword
Galacta Knight glides while thrusting his lance a few times.
うえつき
Up Thrust
Galacta Knight thrusts up his lance if Kirby is above his head.
下突き
Down Thrust
Galacta Knight jumps and thrusts down his lance when in midair, leaving stars when landing.
スピニングナイト
Knight Spin
Galacta Knight jumps and attacks with a vertical spinning slash at the apex of his jump.
ファイナルビームソード
Final Beam Sword
Galacta Knight jumps with a vertical spinning slash. When he lands, his lance sends out a shockwave that travels across the floor. A star appears as soon as Galacta Knight lands from the vertical spin slash.
トルネイドアタック
Tornado Attack
Galacta Knight jumps and spins himself as an unguardable tornado. If Kirby is hit by the tornado, he will be thrown into the air and take damage when crashing onto the floor. Galacta Knight leaves two stars when landing.
竜巻斬り
Tornado Slash
After a few seconds of charging, Galacta Knight stabs his lance into the floor to summon a giant unguardable tornado that travels across the stage. If Kirby is hit by the tornado, he will be thrown into the air and take damage when crashing onto the floor. The only way to dodge the attack in the second phase is to get behind Galacta Knight while he charges up the attack.
エナジーソード
Energy Sword
Galacta Knight jumps and fires several Energy Swords that bounce off the floor and leave stars on impact. In the second phase, he usually performs this two or three times in a row. Unlike in the Wii version, this attack leaves no Dropped Stars behind.
ライジングスパイン
Rising Spine
Galacta Knight flies to the middle of the stage and then summons several lightning bolts. In the second phase, he can perform this several times in a row. He always begins with three instances of this attack in a row in the second phase.
Second phase only  
レボリューションソード
Revolution Sword
Galacta Knight flies to the middle of the stage. Then, his lance fires a laser beam that rotates around the stage. The laser beam leaves behind a conflagration on the ground that will eventually explode, hitting players within a certain range at the moment of impact, much like the Aeon Hero (Light) and (Dark) battles inSuper Kirby Clash. As soon as the explosion happens, the music temporarily lowers in volume, accompanied with a high-pitched tone.
サーティエナジーシャワ
Thirty Energy Shower
Galacta Knight flies to the background where he can't be attacked by Kirby. Then, he fires a shower of 30 Energy Swords that bounce off the floor and leave Dropped Stars on impact. When the shower is over, he returns to the stage. Both corners on the floor are the safety zone where the Energy Swords can't hit Kirby.

In theKirby novel series[edit]

Galacta Knight appears.

InKirby: Super Team Kirby's Big Battle!, Aeon Hero reprises his role fromSuper Kirby Clash, being summoned byParallel Nightmare, defeating the latter, and battling Super Team Kirby. His powered up Dark form appears as well, though it goes unnamed in the story. It is left unclear if Aeon Hero is the Dream Kingdom's version of Galacta Knight or the same warrior.

Galacta Knight makes an appearance inKirby: Meta Knight and the Knight of Yomi. He is summoned byBeryl through a rift atPlanet Charm to fightKirby andKing Dedede. He is eventually defeated by the two, after which a redbutterfly casts judgment, absorbs his power and turns intoMorpho Knight, similarly toKirby Star Allies.

Music[edit]

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U trophy[edit]

Galacta KnightNintendo DSKirby Super Star Ultra (09/2008)

WiiKirby's Return to Dream Land (10/2011)

"With a theme song called "The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy," you know this guy is serious business. Meta Knight does battle with him in Kirby Super Star Ultra. Also, he shows up in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, where he is the 13th boss you'll face in The True Arena.""With a theme song called "The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy," Galacta Knight is not a foe to be taken lightly. Meta Knight challenges him to a duel in Kirby Super Star Ultra, and Kirby can face him in the True Arena of Kirby's Adventure Wii. In both cases, he's the formidable fighter you'd expect him to be."

Trivia[edit]

  • Notably, Galacta Knight has not yet appeared in the story mode of a main seriesKirby game, and instead only appears in side modes. The one game where he appears in the main story,Super Kirby Clash, is a spin-off title.
  • Aeon Hero's Japanese name,淵源を巡る英雄 ("Hero Crossing the Origin"), appears to be derived from the Japanese name of the track that plays in the final corridor of Soul Melter EX inThe Ultimate Choice:淵源を巡る回廊 ("Corridor Crossing the Origin"). It's also similar to his JapaneseKirby Star AlliesBoss Caption,時巡る戦士 ("The Warrior who Crosses Time"), which is a reference to the Japanese name of "The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy Ever",時巡る銀河最強の戦士 ("The Greatest Time-Crossing Warrior in the Galaxy"). The key connecting factor is the usage of巡る (meguru), meaning "to cross".
  • Prior toSuper Kirby Clash, every one of Galacta Knight's battles was playable as Meta Knight. InKirby Super Star Ultra, he is battled duringMeta Knightmare Ultra; inKirby's Return to Dream Land, he is battled inThe True Arena, which is playable as Meta Knight in multiplayer mode or in single player after beating it once; inKirby: Planet Robobot, he is battled duringMeta Knightmare Returns; and inKirby Star Allies,Morpho Knight is battled duringGuest Star ???? Star Allies Go! as well asThe Ultimate Choice at higher levels, which are both playable as Meta Knight.
    • Kirby: Triple Deluxe, a game that Meta Knight was notably absent from, also useda different character to fill his role.
  • The number of energy swords Galacta Knight summons has increased with every game he appears in. His debut inKirby Super Star Ultra had no energy swords,Kirby's Return to Dream Land has him summoning 12 energy swords,Kirby: Planet Robobot features 20 energy swords,Super Kirby Clash has the knight conjure 25 energy swords, and finally, inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Galacta Knight summons 30 energy swords in one attack.
