Meta Knight

Meta Knight appears as a sort of mentor, helping Kirby and others- though only when he absolutely has to. He is a rather strange person with many odd quirks. He has a habit of appearing seemingly from nowhere, and he will always be standing on top of things: tables, statues, trees, rocks, etc. (Some have theorized he does it to compensate for his height.) In some ways he parodies the usual cliché of stoic, mysterious characters, but still manages to be a serious character with a lot of depth.

In the games Meta Knight will often have his cape blowing in the wind, but in the anime he generally keeps it firmly wrapped around him. The cape can be used to teleport, which is most likely how he appears from nowhere.
