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]

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 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]

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.
