Dark Meta Knight (Galactic Battle)

Dark Meta Knight (ダークメタナイト, Dark Meta Knight) is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Galactic Battle.
Dark Meta Knight is one of 7 playable Echo Fighters to be bundled in the Echo Pass alongside Birdo, Wart, Ray, Mighty, Roll, Ray MK II, and Samantha, and the only playable Kirby character to hail from the pass.

If loading an existing save file that meets this condition prior to downloading Dark Meta Knight, he is immediately unlocked.

==Fighter Spirits==
Dark Meta Knight's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins.

As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Galactic Battle.
