— Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land

Meta Knight Sword is anEvolved Copy Ability based onSword that appears inKirby and the Forgotten Land andKirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World. With this ability,Kirby wields a replica ofGalaxia, wears a mask, and has tiny bat wings, all almost identical to that ofMeta Knight's aside from the wings, as the ability is based off him. If Kirby jumps and attacks after using hisslide attack, he'll perform a shorter version ofUpper Calibur. Kirby can obtain this ability by touching Meta Knight's orPhantom Meta Knight's Galaxia when he drops it after beating him in his Upper Calibur attack in theColosseum (even if Kirby has not unlocked it atWaddle Dee's Weapons Shop yet).

Theblueprint for Meta Knight Sword is rewarded to Kirby upon clearing the Meta Knight Cup in theColosseum. Meta Knight Sword is required to play theTreasure Road stageSlash! Meta Knight Sword Trial.
