Appearance
Galacta Knight is a spherical creature that bears something of a resemblance to Meta Knight. He has a pink body, glowing dark pink eyes, and a white mask with a cross-shaped opening. Two golden horns emerge from either side of the top of his head. He wears white shoulder armor and pointed white footwear. He wields a magenta lance with a blue hilt and a white shield with a pink-colored cross design emblazoned on the front. He has a pair of feathery white wings on his back.
Games
Kirby Super Star Ultra
Galacta Knight is the final boss of Meta Knightmare Ultra. After Meta Knight summons NOVA, he explains that his wish is to fight "the greatest warrior in the galaxy". Nova then summons Galacta Knight, who appears before Meta Knight and leads him to an unknown location to serve as their battle arena.
Galacta Knight behaves much like Meta Knight in battle. He employs all of the same attacks, but they have slightly greater power and he performs them while hovering above the ground. He also has some new moves: firing an energy beam from the tip of his lance, which rotates 360 degrees; calling fireballs from the ground, which sprout into tall pillars of flame; and flying off of the screen, after which he will summon three of one type of the Meta Knights. The summoned enemies must be defeated in order for him to return to the battle.
After Galacta Knight is defeated, he glows white and flies away. He then explodes in a bright flash of light.
Galacta Knight is the ninth boss fought in The True Arena.
Controversy and Misconceptions
Kirby of the Future?
A commonly held belief is that, due to crossing time and similarities in appearance, that Galacta Knight is Kirby in the future. This is nonsense as the character is clearly stated as being sealed away by NOVA in the past. Barring Kirby being hurtled backwards through time and becoming this warrior, it's simply a false assumption.
Reincarnation
It, somehow, became spread hearsay that, due to their similarities in appearance, Kirby is "some kind of reincarnation" of Galacta Knight. While this theory acknowledges that Galacta Knight is from the past, it fails to realize the proper definition of a reincarnation, which is defined as being born again after death. Since the feared warrior was only sealed away, never killed, he couldn't be reborn. Both his spirit and body were still joined together, not freed into the cosmos to find another body. This is just more bad fanon in spite of facts.
