Kirby Super Star Ultra/Meta Knightmare Ultra

Meta Knightmare Ultra can be unlocked by completing Revenge of the King. The player dons the role of the super-powered sword-wielding masked boss Meta Knight, joining him in a journey of training. This mode is a mad dash through Spring Breeze, Dyna Blade, The Great Cave Offensive, Revenge of Meta Knight, and finally Milky Way Wishes. Most of the cutscenes and extra areas are cut out of each stage, and this coupled with Meta Knight's special abilities makes it tailor-made for speedruns. The player's best completion times are recorded.

Completing this mode will unlock Helper to Hero.

Controlling Meta Knight
Controlling Meta Knight is mostly the same as controlling Kirby. He jumps, he slides, he dashes, he guards, and all that good stuff. However, there are two main differences: Meta Knight uses his wings to fly, instead of "ballooning" like Kirby does. Secondly, Meta can't inhale or copy abilities, instead he uses his sword to attack.

Every time Meta Knight (or his ally) kills an enemy with their sword, he will absorb points from them, up to maximum of 50. You can touch icons on the bottom screen to spend these points on one of four powerful techniques. Most enemies with no ability yield one point, enemies with an ability have two, mid-bosses usually have around five, and bosses usually yield ten.
