Meta Knight Sword is an Evolved Copy Ability based on Sword that appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. With this ability, Kirby wields a replica of Galaxia, wears a mask, and has tiny bat wings, all almost identical to that of Meta Knight's aside from the wings, as the ability is based off him. If Kirby jumps and attacks after using his slide attack, he'll perform a shorter version of Upper Calibur. Kirby can obtain this ability by touching Meta Knight's or Phantom Meta Knight's Galaxia when he drops it after beating him in his Upper Calibur attack in the Colosseum (even if Kirby has not unlocked it at Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop yet).
The blueprint for Meta Knight Sword is rewarded to Kirby upon clearing the Meta Knight Cup in the Colosseum. Meta Knight Sword is required to play the Treasure Road stage Slash! Meta Knight Sword Trial.

Trivia[edit]
- The yellow eyes on the mask won't blink and are just decorations. This is apparent when Kirby is using Mouthful Mode.
