'''Nightmare''' ({{ja|ナイトメア|Naitomea}}, ''Nightmare'') is the main antagonist and final boss of ''{{s|WiKirby|Kirby's Adventure}}'' and its remake, ''{{s|WiKirby|Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land}}''.

==Origin==
[[File:NightmareOrigin.png|left|thumb|Kirby facing Nightmare in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''.]]
Nightmare is the final boss of ''Kirby's Adventure'' and its remake ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''. He attempted to infect the [[Fountain of Dreams]] in order to spread nightmares to Dream Land's populace. Due to the threat this posed, [[King Dedede]] sealed Nightmare away by dismantling the [[Star Rod]], the source of the fountain's power, cutting all of Dream Land off from any dreams in the process. [[Kirby]], believing that Dedede had intentionally sabotaged the fountain out of selfishness, reassembled the Star Rod in full by defeating Dedede's minions, ultimately besting the king himself at the fountain. Once the Star Rod was put back in place, Nightmare was released. Dedede then [[Inhale (King Dedede)|inhaled]] Kirby and fired him off to fight Nightmare in the sky and later Popstar's moon.

Nightmare's design is based on ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', which in turn had borrowed Nightmare's visual redesign from the ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby: Right Back at Ya!}}'' anime, where he once again appears as the main antagonist, this time as the head of {{s|wikirby|Nightmare Enterprises}} (Holy Nightmare Co. in the original Japanese version).

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
[[File:SSB4 - Nightmare.jpg|thumb|left|Nightmare in {{forwiiu}}.]]
Nightmare appears as an [[Assist Trophy]]. When summoned, he will first appear in his orb form before transforming into his true form, then blacks out the entirety of the screen, forcing players to fight in the dark.

While player tags disappear during the blackout, [[shield]]s and other special effects do not, and players can use various moves to track themselves in the dark.

===Trophy===
The Nightmare trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}}, it is part of the ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' {{h1|Trophy Box|Kirby's Adventure}}.

King Dedede sealed him away by shattering the Star Rod, but when Kirby restored it, Nightmare was able to come back. In this game, he shrouds the stage in darkness, making it impossible for the fighters to see.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As an Assist Trophy===
Nightmare returns as an Assist Trophy, functioning as he has in previous games. Unlike in ''SSB4'', more effects, including [[shield]]s, are now obscured in the dark, making it even more difficult to track characters. [[Training Mode]] describes his Assist Trophy: ''Covers the stage in a deep darkness. Can't be KO'd.''

===Spirits===
Nightmare appears as two different [[primary spirit]]s. He can be obtained by [[Enhanceable spirit|enhancing]] the Nightmare's Power Orb spirit at level 99.

The Nightmare's Power Orb's Spirit Battle uses a [[Giant]] {{SSBU|Kirby}} puppet fighter and is fought on the Fountain of Dreams stage. During the battle, Nightmare appears as a hostile Assist Trophy while Kirby starts off with a Star Rod, referencing Nightmare Power Orb's star-shaped attacks.

==Trivia==
*Rather than {{s|wikipedia|Banjō Ginga}}, who voices the character in the Japanese ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' anime, Nightmare is voiced in ''Smash'' by {{s|wikipedia|Hisao Egawa}}. This is unlike [[Meta Knight]] and [[Knuckle Joe]], who share their Japanese voices with the anime.
