Nightmare (ナイトメア, Nightmare) is the main antagonist and final boss of Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.
Origin[edit]
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 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 Kirby: Right Back at Ya! anime, where he once again appears as the main antagonist, this time as the head of Nightmare Enterprises (Holy Nightmare Co. in the original Japanese version).
In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]
As an Assist Trophy[edit]
Nightmare in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
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, shields and other special effects do not, and players can use various moves to track themselves in the dark.
Trophy[edit]
The Nightmare trophy appears in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, it is part of the Kirby's Adventure Trophy Box.

- Nightmare
This ball of nightmares came from the Fountain of Dreams, taking nightmares to all of Dream Land. King Dedede sealed it away by shattering the Star Rod, but it was revived when the Star Rod was restored by Kirby. In Smash Bros., it hides the stage and the fighters in pure darkness.

This terrible being came from the Fountain of Dreams, bringing bad dreams to all of Dream Land. 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.- : Kirby's Adventure (12/1993)
- : Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land (09/2003)
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As an Assist Trophy[edit]
Nightmare returns as an Assist Trophy, functioning as he has in previous games. Unlike in SSB4, more effects, including shields, 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[edit]
Nightmare appears as two different primary spirits. He can be obtained by enhancing the Nightmare's Power Orb spirit at level 99.
The Nightmare's Power Orb's Spirit Battle uses a Giant 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.
