It also resembles the Bomb Boos from Super Mario Galaxy, though that seems a little too random and weirdly specific to be more than a coincidence to me.

EDIT: "It" referring to Kirby's Meta-Knight alt palette.

Uh, nobody's arguing that that's not what the palette is based on.

I am. That pallet is black while Meta Knight is blue.

That pallet looks dark blue to me.

Dark blue is mistaken for black very often. Meta knight has been dark blue in some of his appearances.

It should've been a Meta Kinght costume, though.

Well, it's still neat as a reference.

Meta Knight without his mask really should be an alt, honestly.

Meta Knight should clap while maskless if he losses a fight, more like.

I sure said that!

It honestly looks more like the version of Shadow Kirby from that one minigame in Triple Deluxe.

That's exactly what it is...Shadow Kirby from Triple Deluxe.

Its too dark to be Meta Knight's body color.

... No?

Shadow Kirby is grayscaled in Amazing Mirror and an iridescent black in Triple Deluxe's Kirby Fighters sub-game, like an oil puddle. A flat black body with purple shoes and yellow bead eyes makes me think that color is a reference to Meta Knight's NES sprite, where he was black instead of dark blue, presumably because of palette limitations.

I sure said that!

Kirby doesn't really look like he has a flat black color, to me it looked like a dark purple.

Meta Knight is already in the game so it makes no sense to give Kirby a Meta Knight alt. I'm fully convinced that this is a Shadow Kirby alt.

I'm a hardcore Kirby fan. I grew up with Kirby. I know a lot.

Meta Knight has in fact had that color and shade before. Shadow Kirby has never looked like that.

No arguing about what's the true colors and shades of characters, please. :/ That's silly.

Whoops. I thought you were all saying that his color somehow changed when his mask was on, when you were really talking about his shadow through the mask slit.

Meta knight has white eyes without the mask, doesn't he?

I'm still holding on to my seemingly ignored point that it could easily be based on Meta Knight's original design which was, in fact, black. I posted official art and a screen cap and everything.

So it's a reference to some Early-Installment Weirdness. Not unreasonable.

What do you mean, ignored?

I'm saying this thread has the tendency to start a conversation and then drag it on way past its welcome.

And then go back to it two or three topics later.

I'm almost terrified of what this thread's going to be like once the game is actually released.

Well, yeah. That's well established by now.

And who knows? I'm pretty sure I'll be too busy playing it to really care.
