Line 2:
[[File:Zero_1863.png|frame|Yes, this is the villain [[Eye Scream|ripping its own eye out]]. With blood. [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|In a Kirby game.]]]]
The people at [[Nintendo]] and HAL Labs just love their [[Mood Whiplash
As the ''[[Kirby]]'' games often take place in [[Sugar Bowl|Dream Land]], it makes sense that many of the antagonists are literal nightmares - but they're not the only thing about the series that'll [[Nightmare Fuel|fuel ''your'' nightmares]].

Line 13 ⟶ 15:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pko1lLrZxhM The Holy Nightmare/Nightmare Enterprises Theme] from the Japanese version of the Kirby anime sounds more fitting for a horror movie than Kirby.
* Club Nintendo (the German version) had a [http://kirbysrainbowresort.net/multimedia/manga/kgf.html special Kirby comic], wherein Kirby (and likely Dedede/"Nick") is a detective; it starts off with a human woman named Annett giving him a case. At one point he, Dedede, and some fish who isn't Kine investigate an old castle; they sit down at a table expecting to be served dinner, but instead the lights go out. When they come back on, {{spoiler|they've been joined by Annett's corpse}}.
* Kirby is a [[Sugar Bowl]] of happiness, but the occasional [[Sugar Apocalypse]]
Line 42 ⟶ 44:
* The "death" sequence as Kirby in ''[[Kirby]] 64: The Crystal Shards.'' The scenery fades to black and Kirby stumbles around, then falls down... and during this, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzdI7qYJar0 a loud, slow version of the regular Kirby death music appears out of nowhere.] Losing the [[Boss Rush]] is worse: there's something terrible about a red-tinted screen showing Kirby and his allies looking depressed.
* The bad ending in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', which is made incredibly creepy [[Last-Note Nightmare|by the last couple of notes that play near the end as the fairy queen turns to look at Ribbon]] [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|(or at the player, as if to mock him for not getting the 100% completion).]]
* In ''Kirby 64''
* The final Ripple Star level before the boss has [[Crowning Music of Awesome|good music]], but that final room with the N-Zs in it has that ominous dark cloud where the ceiling should be. Kind of eerie, thinking Kirby's right beneath Miracle Matter himself at the moment.
* There's an enemy in Kirby's Dream Land 2 called Propeller Bomb. Not a threat without animal friends, it becomes a [[Super Mario Bros. 2|Phanto]]-level menace when approached with one.
