Origin

Nightmare is the final boss of Kirby's Adventure and its remake Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. Due to the threat he posed to Dream Land, King Dedede sealed away Nightmare by dismantling the Star Rod. Kirby, however, didn't know this was Dedede's intention, and re-assembled the Star Rod in full by defeating Dedede's minions and ultimately defeating the king himself at the Fountain of Dreams. Once the Star Rod was placed back in the fountain, Nightmare was released. Dedede then inhaled Kirby and fired him off to fight Nightmare.

Nightmare Wizard, the form seen in SSB4, is based on the second and last phase of the Nightmare fight. Nightmare's design is based on Nightmare in Dream Land, which in turn had borrowed Nightmare's visual redesign from the Kirby: Right Back At Ya! anime.
