43 kirby planet robobot - first level of meta knightmare returns mode

Dear Readers,

Now to try Meta Knightmare Returns! I forgot the last time I was able to play this mode in a Kirby game. Was it Super Star Ultra? That was quite a while ago. This mode is always really cool and fun to play as post game content! It can often look kind of strange to see such a cool character like Meta Knight tear through cute Kirby levels, but it also feels cool to do as well!
