History
Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
The original Meta-Knights (Ax Knight, Javelin Knight, Mace Knight, and Trident Knight) first appeared as Mini-bosses in Kirby's Adventure alongside Meta Knight. They were hired by King Dedede to stop Kirby from gathering pieces of the dream rod. Each of the knights are masters of their own specific weapon. Not much information was given about them, except for their likeliness and alliance with Meta Knight, and they were given minimal to no characterization. Kirby encounters them for their first time in the second level, Ice Cream Island, and then fights them once per level up until the last level (Rainbow Resort).
While Meta Knight apparently has legions of warriors serving under him, judging by the following games, these four are his main foot-soldiers.
In the remake, the normal boss music does not play, instead, a remix of the mini-boss theme from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is played.
Kirby Planet Robobot
The Meta-Knights appear as one of Meta Knight's abilities in the "Meta Knightmare Returns" sub-game. Using 35 Meta Points, Meta Knight can trigger "Meta Knightmares", in which Meta-Knights are summoned to deal heavy damage to every enemy on screen.
