Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land (Japanese: 星のカービィ 夢の泉デラックス - Hoshi no Kaabii: Yume no Izumi no Monogatari Derakkusu - "Kirby of the Stars: The Tale of the Fountain of Dreams Deluxe") is a remake of Kirby's Adventure for the Game Boy Advance released in 2002 by HAL Laboratory and Nintendo. In it, the Star Rod, which made sleeping peaceful in Dream Land, is stolen by King Dedede. Hoping to restore peace to sleeping, Kirby goes through 7 levels to retrieve it, with each level having a boss that he must beat before going to the next. Once Kirby beats a part of a level, he will exit it and a flag will appear next to it to signify that. After beating the game once, Kirby can go again in an Extra Game, where he can go with half of his life. In the end, it is revealed that King Dedede took it because he had to hide it from the nightmares, and Kirby has to go through an eighth level to defeat it.

Sub-games

This game has five sub-games: Quick Draw, Bomb Rally, Kirby's Air Grind, Boss Endurance, and Meta Knightmare, the former three available before beating the game and can be found in the levels normally and the latter two found by beating the game in the regular mode and Extra Game respectively.

King Dedede fights in a similar manner to his appearance in Kirby's Dream Land, though he has some new moves, including the ability to puff up and chase Kirby through the air. Older moves include his hammer swings, his Super Dedede Jump, and his inhale attack.
Nightmare File:Nightmare game.gif The Fountain of Dreams Star Rod Kirby fights this menace in two phases using the Star Rod. The first is a chase through the sky as Kirby fires at the Nightmare Power Orb. After that, the battle changes location to a large moon, where Kirby battles Nightmare in his wizard form. To damage Nightmare in this form, Kirby must hit his torso underneath the cloak. Defeating this boss completes the game.
