Kirby and the Forgotten Land Should Get DLC Following Meta Knight in Waddle Dee Town
Of the recurring characters across Kirby's adventures, Meta Knight is perhaps the most iconic. King Dedede is the series' chief antagonist going back to Kirby's Dream Land in 1992, but Meta Knight's air of mystery has been prominent since Kirby's Adventure in 1993. He's an antagonist at times, known for spectacles such as the Battleship Halberd in Kirby Super Star, but has also been an ally in games like Kirby's Return to Dream Land. In HAL Laboratory's latest Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Meta Knight serves a more tertiary role.
The Switch title is Kirby's first true foray into 3D platforming, and begins with the pink puffball getting sucked into a portal that opens over Planet Popstar. Yet Kirby isn't the only one brought to the titular Forgotten Land, as gameplay revolves around saving Waddle Dees from the Beast Pack throughout levels that feature enemies like Bonkers and Wild Edge with new coats of paint. Dedede and Meta Knight also get pulled in, and the latter warrior's story of protecting the rescued Waddle Dees could make for fun DLC. Spoilers for Kirby and the Forgotten Land ahead.

Yet it's plenty clear that Meta Knight desires self-improvement above all else.
One example can be seen through the Meta Knightmare Ultra mode of Kirby Super Star Ultra, in
