Seems like every time Kirby absorbs a new enemy, the masked Knight is contractually bound to come and explain it to ''somebody''. Yes, even when he was literally nowhere in sight five seconds ago. This seems to lead to [[Memetic Molester|the creepy implication that Meta Knight is constantly stalking Kirby]], just waiting for the opportunity to explain the newest ability.
