Assist Trophy Info[]
In Nightmare’s first attack against the people of Dream Land he used his dark powers to corrupt the Fountain of Dreams to spread his nightmares across all of Dream Land. In a rare moment of heroness, King Dedede sought to stop Nightmare by breaking the Star Rod and scattering it around which served to temporarily stall Nightmare and trap him inside the fountain itself. Unfortunately King Dedede’s efforts were for naught and Nightmare was freed when Kirby unwittingly restored the Star Rod. Nightmare made to resume his assaults against Dream Land, but the teamwork of Kirby and King Dedede resulted in his defeat and destroying a portion of the moon.
Mode of Assistance[]
When Nightmare arrives he’ll first appear in his orb form before flying up and over the top of the screen. Cloak splayed out behind him, Nightmare will reappear in the background, taking up nearly the entirety of it, and spreads out his arms as darkness envelops the screen. Some effects can still be seen in the darkness such as fire attacks, the glimmer of a Super Star, a Final Smash’s aura, or the swinging of weapons that produce a colorful trail such as Marth’s sword. After some time, the darkness will begin to subside as Nightmare fades from the background.
