Nightmare is the final boss of Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. After Nightmare invades the Fountain of Dreams, King Dedede splits up the Star Rod into seven pieces and gives them to his followers, preventing Nightmare from using it to spread bad dreams. Kirby, thinking King Dedede caused the problem starts his adventure to find the pieces and reunites them. Once he defeats King Dedede, Nightmare reveals itself and goes into space, with King Dedede spitting Kirby out towards him with the Star Rod. Then the final battle begins. Nightmare starts out as an orb that shoots stars. Kirby has a limited amount of time to defeat him before he retreats and he loses. After Kirby defeats him he drops a warp star then he retreats to another celestial body, but Kirby follows him by a warp star that appeared where he was when he retreated. Now he transforms into a vampire-like being with a tornado-like cloak for a body. Simply attacking Nightmare with the Star Rod, however, won't damage him. Instead, Kirby must wait until he reveals his tornado like inside to attack. When Kirby defeats him here he explodes and Kirby heads back to Dream Land for a good night's sleep.
Nightmare (known as eNeMeE in the dub) is also the main villain in the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya! and is responsible for the creation of NightMare Enterprises, also known as NME. He dominates much of the universe. He creates legions of monsters that Kirby fights and the Star Warriors fought before most of them were killed.
