Due to Meta Knight's way of doing things and his often-hidden intentions, the relationship between Kirby and Meta Knight is unpredictable in nature, and range from being bitter rivals to being steadfast allies to one another and can change at a moment's notice. Meta Knight is a playable character in many spin-offs, and is presented in many of the newer games as a "friend or foe" character. Being a knight, he respects a code of chivalry, and always offers Kirby a sword whenever he fights against him. However, if the player waits long enough without collecting the sword, it will disappear (in Kirby Star Allies, Meta Knight instead loses patience and kicks out the sword away himself, which may be due to him being possessed by a Jamba Heart shard), and the battle will proceed. In Meta Knightmare Ultra, he is shown trying to become the greatest warrior in the galaxy, suggesting he prides himself in his strength and skill, yet wishes to continue to grow stronger. This is also shown in Kirby Battle Royale, where he and Axe Knight participate in The Cake Royale in order to grow stronger. The Revenge of Meta Knight sub-game reveals that Meta Knight despises laziness, to the point where he was willing to start a war and take over Dream Land, just to end what he perceived as a "lazy lifestyle." However, it also shows Meta Knight’s caring side, as when Kirby is destroying the Halberd, Meta Knight orders his crew, the Meta-Knights, to abandon ship in hopes that they will not get hurt. Instead of listening to his orders however, most of the crew decides to stay and fight Kirby, to which he then responds with a “thank you, guys” in Kirby Super Star, or an “i’m sorry” after saying they’re about to perish and that they can do as they please in Kirby Super Star Ultra, meaning that he feels proud due to his crew being there for him in the former game, or guilt due to his crew's undying loyalty to him in the latter.
