Grammy Award Winner Meta Knight back at it again. I love that the Revenge of Meta Knight's ending became his motif.

[@hioman]

i love how most kirby charcter's themes are the first song you hear when you fight them, but metaknight's theme is his defeat theme from kirby super star

[@Gyrokun]

It was just too iconic to not reuse

[@Parapsyche]

I still love that Meta Knight finally got a theme that really feels like it belongs to him, while still respectful to how he got here. Man deserves it. And you deserve plenty of praise for this faithful yet fresh cover, dang! The solo incorporating his classic battle theme for a bit as a fake-out ending was clever. I was stoked for this one and you didn't disappoint!

[@ramyRHM]

revenge of metaknight is better tho

[@Parapsyche]

Didn't say it was or wasn't, but this is more a Meta Knight theme.

[@ramyRHM]

@@Parapsyche no revenge of metaknight is more his theme but ig everyone has opinions

[@WaffleyDootDoot]

@@ramyRHM Well "Meta Knight's Revenge" from Super Smash Bros Brawl, the theme most associated with him, is really just like 2 or 3 songs that play on the Halberd levels of Super Star combined. This new theme is like an actual new theme for him.

[@Raydaralu]

I think that the reason why this music fits the character so well is because it tells you the story of the character we have get to know over the years. It speaks, at least for me, about the story of the fiery, honorable and powerful knight, who used to protect others (once passing over their own will by dictating his strict rules) and their reality from fearsome monsters. These actions were performed by not always doing the right thing, but by carrying out the job it had to be done in order to be successful. This theme also communicates a tale of negation and later acceptance. A knight who ended meeting a powerful being, whose abilities were tested multiple times by this knight, with him denying the fact that he could pass the baton, since doing his job was not exactly a path of roses. It also talks about redemption and acceptance. Soon, the knight's own power was surpassed by this being, and said being became more than an ally, they became... friends. And every fight they performed afterwards was a celebration about their friendship and their long story together.

[@edgarlozada3858]

This channel will never have a lack of Kirby. Kirby just travels free in Johnny's veins! He needs all the power necesary to make bangers! So have a well deserved Grammy! Suggestions: BB Channel from Fate/EXTRA CCC.

[@mr.vanillamilkshake3]

Also: "Rebellion", any of the Grand Battle themes, "Shikisai -- The Time of Parting Hath Come", the Lostbelt tree themes, "Fate/Grand Order", "Anima Ataraxia CCC/FGO", and the Olympus and Avalon Le Fae themes from Fate/Grand Order too. Any will do.

[@edgarlozada3858]

@@mr.vanillamilkshake3 Yeah, the Nasuverse franchise it's so full of great songs. BB Channel is among my favorite videogame songs so I rather just request that one, and not have a wall of text. I think that could be rude. If you wanna hear some Fate metal, check Kieran Zane Roberts, he does great metal covers of Fate like Oberon's battle theme, and *yesterday* he uploaded a cover of EMIYA using the Muramasa version as base.

[@Ihazkirbro]

This is a certified "Most effective tactic available for music" moment.

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

Kirby songs are always fantastic, and you can always somehow make them better! So that means if Meta Knight won a Grammy, then you are deserving of not one, but *two* Grammys!

[@splitjawjanitor5369]

Sword of the Surviving Guardian wasn't the song that won the Grammy, but damn if it doesn't deserve one too.

[@Akashicgg]

I know it's supposed to be the Revenge of Meta Knight duel theme but 2:20 sounds like Ridley's theme and I love it.

[@michelk.8008]

Yeah I can hear it

[@DeviDoesNothing]

That's actually the original Meta Knight boss theme from Kirby Super Star, but yeah it does sound a lot like Ridley's theme lol

gran temazo

[@THiNGYBOBinc]

I always loved the extremely brief bits of the Meta Knight boss theme from Super Star during 0:45. Obviously the Revenge of Meta Knight Ending theme is the biggest callback in this song but I love that they gave a nod to that song too Oh damn I wasn't expecting a solo accompanied by that specific part of the song. hell yeah

[@jclkaytwo]

wait, that part's a callback to the vs. meta knight theme??? holy crap, the more you know! I'll return the favor: the segment at 1:06 is green greens.

[@theburningfalcon974]

Finally, forgotten land is being covered! Its not the one i thought would be remix, but honnestly thats a disapontment to the knight name on my part; all hail to the thiving warrior of rock, gametal! Reminder everyone, the battles only heating up, and the areas railing with excitement; its only the begining of the end, and im exited for the ganes chosen to close this crazy year weve had

[@edboi8114]

The fact this won a Grammy is still insane to think about considering what it beat out. Really makes me hope this gets VGM out there more to get the recognition it deserves for some of the amazing music the genre has. Great remix man! Here are my requests: 1. Shooting Star (Megaman Starforce 1-3) 2. The Collision of Thunderstorms (Azure Striker Gunvolt) 3. Bellum Phase 1-3 (The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass) 4. Hexazeon (Puzzle and Dragons) 5. Battle! Frontier Brain (Pokemon Emerald/Platinum) 6. Infinite's Theme (Sonic Forces) 7. Knock You Down!! (Deltarune Chapter 2) 8. Burning Throb/Battle Theme (Trails of Cold Steel IV) 9. Trunks Theme (Dragon Ball FighterZ) 10. Sherman Theme (Fairy Fencer F)

Wasn’t actually this one, the one that won the Grammy was Revenge of Meta Knight from Kirby Super Star. This one definitely deserves one too, imo.

Awesome as always! Love your work, keep up the amazing covers!!!

[@1snivy10]

Wow. Every time you unleash a new banger unto my ears, I struggle to articulate just how much I love your covers in the comments. I've been listening to your stuff for years, and more frequently as time went on. I now put on your tracks almost every day. They're like my lifeblood now. They help me push through college, like a big swig of an energy drink or something- and caffeine gives me tachycardia, so your tunes make a fantastic substitute. I really appreciate all the hard work you've put into all of your covers. To show my appreciation, I've become a patron! 💞

[@TANKY212]

Excellent work, dude! While my experience playing Kirby games ends at the SNES, I've continued to listen to the music, and Kirby always delivers some impressive soundtracks; your remixes are perfect tributes to the range and scope of Kirby OSTs! Also, gotta get that request in for Solstice Title Theme(NES)!

[@voidastralbirth]

Is it any coincidence this was uploaded close to Nov 30th, the happy birthday of Void, our true dark lord? …Yes, it is. Regardless, this rocks!

The special thing about Kirby theme remixes to me is that they somehow sound better than their originals, which already deserve the very top spot of S tier. Wonderful remix! Although it's very hard to choose between a favourite meta knights theme or Dedede's theme, (both are incredible)

[@GMKGoji01]

This is the best remix I've ever heard, GaMetal! Meta Knight is my most favorite character in the Kirby series and my most used main in Smash Ultimate, and Sword of the Surviving Guardian is my most favorite banger in all of Kirby and the Forgotten Land. So hearing this remix from you is such an amazing blessing from Palutena herself! Thank you so much for uploading this!❤

[@BP-bq9uz]

Man, watching your videos improve as much as they have over the years is really surreal. In terms of shot/editing quality, actual play, mastering, etc. it’s really cool. Even in the early days, your style was still very distinctly -you-, and these days it feels like it’s become a realization of potential. Idk maybe this cover was just really good but I feel compelled to share that.

Imagine if winning a sword clash against Phantom Meta Knight caused him to pull out an even _stronger_ blade, rather than the Kirby's Adventure one. Double-layered easter egg. Add in this sick cover suddenly blaring to life, and the "Oh, crap" factor would skyrocket to the stratosphere.

As for suggestions, I wish upon a star that we could get a remix of Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit!
