Galacta Knight is a recurring boss character from the Kirby series, primarily appearing as the final boss of both Kirby Super Star Ultra's and Kirby: Planet Robobot's respective Meta Knightmare subgames, where he is fought by Meta Knight; he also makes an appearance in The True Arena modes of both games, where he is instead fought by Kirby, as well as The True Arena of Kirby's Return to Dream Land, despite making no appearance elsewhere in the game.
Known as "the most powerful warrior in the galaxy", Galacta Knight was originally sealed away in a crystallized prison for fear of his incredible power, though it is never stated who sealed him away. Very little is truly known about Galacta Knight, not even his alignment, though he appears to be extremely violent and will fight anyone who challenges him. He was called by Galactic Nova to battle Meta Knight upon the latter's request to become stronger, but was defeated, flying around unstably before disappearing in a bright flash.
In M.U.G.E.N, Galacta Knight has been created by Fou the Mage of the Sun and Solarflared, with Fou's version having originally been created for the Kirby the Dream Battle project.
Fou the Mage of the Sun's version[]
Galacta Knight is taken directly from Kirby the Dream Battle, with most of its sprites having been ripped and edited from Kirby Super Star Ultra. While it has some original moves, most of its moveset consists of attacks it used in its boss fight in Ultra. A rarity among the Kirby the Dream Battle roster, Galacta Knight is one of the few characters to have more than one Hyper.
Solarflared's version[]
This ancient swordsman was feared for his immense power, and his combo-heavy rushdown playstyle is a reflection of that. This version of Galacta Knight has a penchant for flying around the battlefield, in order to close the gap with his opponent and strike them down with his powerful lance and shield.
