Fandom
=Marxolor= 

Canon
Even though we never see them interact in games, Marx and Magolor are heavily implied to be friends or at the very least know each other. Some secret dialogue in Return to Dream Land reveals that Magolor already knew of Kirby before their meeting, and that he knows someone that Kirby knows quite well, and implies that they are a former enemy. They also both have similar movesets in their boss fights, with them both blasting giant lasers and black holes that deal immense damage when caught in them. They are also often depicted together in many outside sources, such as these two pieces of artwork from the official Kirby Twitter, as well as them being the only two characters being paired up for the 30th Anniversary Music Fest trailer. Also, Marx's Hat in Super Kirby Clash states that it's "lovingly dedicated" to him, and it's heavily implied that Magolor is the one the makes the Armor and Weapons you buy.

Fandom
=Metasuka= 

Metasuka is the slash ship between Meta Knight and Escargoon from the Kirby fandom.

Canon
Meta Knight and Escargoon both work for King Dedede, while Meta Knight more hesitantly does so, while Escargoon does so more willingly. There are a couple scenes where they are together, like the scene where Meta Knight exorcises Escargoon of a demon beast named Erasem, via torturing him (Since Erasem is removed from bodies by putting the body through extreme pain), and even moments like the ending of the last episode, with Meta Knight giving Dedede his phone back, which could however be more of a Metadede moment than a Metasuka moment, however. There, very noticeably isn't that much for the ship in the canon, and it has an effect on how popular the ship is.

Meta Knight and Escargoon have very few interactions, and often when in a scene together, don't even interact and are just in a room together, like when the main cast all decided to fight back against an army of penguins who had taken over Cappytown (or Dreamland or Pupu village), or the two of them having been on the Halberd. It however should be taken to note that likely, due to them both being workers of Dedede's, and having noticeably sassy moments underneath their belts, they still can be kind of shipped together.

Fanon
Metasuka is a very obscure ship, and is indeed a rarepair. Not much artwork can be found of them when googling them, and can most easily be found on Tumblr. Typically, Meta Knight is portrayed as being a source of comfort for Escargoon, since Dedede canonically is shown to physically abuse him, which could result in Escargoon at least needing a form of comfort that is readily available.

Fanfictions of the two in a relationship can vary in scenarios from the two of them assassinating Dedede together, to Escargoon falling in love with Meta Knight after the gameverse counterparts of the main cast end up encountering their animeverse counterparts, to Meta Knight being encouraged to ask out Escargoon by Sword Knight and Blade Knight.

Fans of Metasuka do openly show their disliking for Dedesuka, the ship between Dedede and Escargoon, since they believe that since Dedede is abusive towards Escargoon, that he should instead date somebody far better, like Meta Knight for example. It also should be considered that Meta Knight, despite being a rather popular character, along with Escargoon also being fairly popular specifically among fans of Kirby Right Back At Ya, the ship almost seems as if it was made to be popular, but didn't get just enough coal to fuel the ship's sailing, which resulting in it being a rather rarepair, which is prevalent since googling "Meta Knight x Escargoon" will mainly give you results which consist of Dedesuka instead of Metasuka, which could be seen as frustrating to a person who's rather passionate about the ship, and wouldn't want to see a ship that they most likely hate, instead of their more preferred ship, typically in content for the ship, Escargoon is portrayed rather emphatically, as likely a good portion of Metasuka shippers may likely be Escargoon who don't really enjoy seeing the snail in pain with Dedede, and instead pair him up with a character that they could more likely prefer seeing him with, or possibly just happen to have a crush on, and as Meta Knight did win the Kirby Sexyman Polls, it's only natural that he'd be the one paired up with Escargoon.
