'''Dreamy Darkness''' is the second stage of [[Neo Greo]] in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]''. [[Kirby]] travels through this area on his quest to defeat [[Drawcia]]. Dreamy Darkness is a collection of dark stages with a similar appearance to [[Ghost Grounds]]. This stage also joins [[Rift Ruin]] by having more than three areas. Dreamy Darkness contains three hidden [[medal]]s for [[Medal Swap]] purchases, and courses in [[Rainbow Run]] offer six more medals.

|{{Center|[[File:KCC Dreamy Darkness area 01 map.png|150px]]<br>'''Area 1'''}}
|Keeping consistency with the name, this stage is completely dark. Only Kirby, enemies, and some objects are visible. The layout of the stage is mostly horizontal, but walls and ledges only open in staggered spots. Most of the openings are near an array of [[spike]]s on the wall. When the [[Lantern (Kirby: Canvas Curse)|lanterns]] are not lighting the area, the spiked patches of wall are likely to be hit, as they are invisible in the darkness. Open pits are another danger lurking in the dark. [[Waddle Dee]]s, [[Bouncy|Bouncies]], [[Shotzo]]s, and [[Tick]] can be found in this area. Several [[Point Star]]s can be acquired from the middle chambers and just before the exit door.

This area appears as the Time Trial mode of Rainbow Run.
|This medal is hidden in an alcove underneath the middle portion of the stage. To get in, Kirby needs the [[Needle]] ability, which can be obtained from a [[Tick]] further up the road.
|-
|{{Center|[[File:KCC Dreamy Darkness area 02 map.png|150px]]<br>'''Area 2'''}}
|The second area is one of the smallest. Kirby begins at the lowest section. The room is divided into several floors with different enemies on each level. To reach the door, Kirby merely needs to ascend through each floor. The floors are "one-way" as backtracking to lower levels is not possible.

This area appears as the Line Trial challenge of Rainbow Run.
|This medal can be obtained after climbing to the top of a wide area with sparse platforms. It can only be accessed using the Needle ability, which will need to have been obtained from the previous area.
|-
|{{Center|[[File:KCC Dreamy Darkness area 03 map.png|150px]]<br>'''Area 3'''}}
|This treacherous area, though small drops Kirby through nests of [[Gordo]]s, spiked surfaces, and contact activated fans. Point Stars are abundant, but can be hazardous to attempt obtaining.
|N/A
|-
|{{Center|[[File:KCC Dreamy Darkness area 04 map.png|150px]]<br>'''Area 4'''}}
|Another very small and dangerous area. The walls and floors are lined with electrical blocks and the space between them is very narrow. Even the Waddle Dee in the area is damaged by the blocks. This area is also dark until activating one of the lanterns.
|This medal is located just to the left of the starting position, though it is buried in a Bomb Block barrier at first, which is not apparent until the lantern is lit.
|-
|{{Center|[[File:KCC Dreamy Darkness area 05 map.png|150px]]<br>'''Area 5'''}}
|This small area again places Kirby near the top, requiring him to descend to the exit door. The area has plenty of point stars, but is also full of Gordos and clear blocks. An [[Energy Drink]] can be found just before the exit door.
|N/A
|-
|{{Center|[[File:KCC Dreamy Darkness area 06 map.png|150px]]<br>'''Area 6'''}}
|The final area is at first a dark hallway, but the central room locks Kirby in and lights up. Kirby is challenged to destroy several parachuting bombs, in order to progress to the next chamber and exit door.
