Nightmare, sometimes called Cloaked Nightmare (and eNeMeE in the English dub of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!), is the final boss of Kirby's Adventure, and its remake Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. He is an evil space wizard who traveled to planet Pop Star and corrupted the Fountain of Dreams in order to attack the people through their dreams. King Dedede removed the Star Rod, the power source of the Fountain of Dreams, and broke it into seven pieces giving six pieces to his strongest underlings. This trapped Nightmare in the fountain but caused the people of Dream Land to lose their ability to dream. Kirby recovered the Star Rod and used it to fight Nightmare. After a long battle Kirby finally defeated Nightmare and restored the peace to Dreamland.
A parallel version of Nightmare called Parallel Nightmare makes an appearence as a boss in Super Kirby Clash.
Anime[]
Nightmare is also the overarching antagonist in the Kirby anime, Kirby: Right Back at Ya! Although he is rarely seen, save for his silhouette in the background on occasion, he is the one who creates the monsters that Kirby fights on a regular basis.
