A legendary Star Warrior who crash-lands in Dream Land in the first episode. Eventually, he becomes a well-renowned local hero that is the primary hope for the citizens of Dream Land to keep Dedede's monsters at bay.

The self-proclaimed king of Dream Land, with a huge castle, an army of Waddle Dees and his servant [[Battle Butler|Escargoon]] at his disposal.

== Meta Knight ==

[[File:aniKirby_Meta_Knight_portriat_LQ_8202.png|frame]]

A mysterious knight who claims to serve Dedede, but his true allegiances seem to fall elsewhere. He takes the role of Kirby's mentor, training him to fight against the monsters and to eventually defeat Nightmare.

 

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]

* [[Dragon with an Agenda]]: He's said to serve King Dedede, but barely ever does anything for him. Lampshaded by Escargoon in the original with the following line from episode 60:

* [[Dwindling Party]]: Discussed in episode 4. {{spoiler|In the initial conflict with Nightmare, the monsters killed everyone that tried to resist his conquest of the universe, [[Last of His Kind|leaving only Meta Knight alive - or so he thinks.]]}}

* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Has a habit of appearing out of nowhere on high places to announce something relevant to the plot.

* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: In episode 3, while training Kirby. He [[Hand Wave|Hand Waves]] it by saying that Kirby can only awaken his powers when he's put in life-or-death situations.

* [[Only Sane Man]]:

* [[Pet the Dog]]: To Sword and Blade, and occasionally Kirby in some of the later episodes.

* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: "I am his majesty's loyal servant." before he '''kicks Escargoon's and Dedede's tank down a cliff.'''

The true [[Big Bad]] of the anime series, and owner of Nightmare Enterprises.

 

 

Tropes associated with Nightmare:

* [[Adaptational Badass]]: While he doesn't do much fighting, in the games he was just a [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]] whose only threat was spreading bad dreams, but here, he's a [[Physical God]] that poses a threat to the entire universe.

* [[As Long as There Is Evil]]: {{spoiler|He gives this kind of speech in the finale.}}

* [[Astral Checkerboard Decor]]: In his lair, complete with a few monsters that look like chess pieces.

* [[Bigger Bad]]: He creates the monsters that make Kirby's life miserable, but {{spoiler|he never fights him one-on-one until the finale}}. The closest thing to an active antagonist for Kirby is probably Dedede, although he doesn't have any affiliation with Nightmare, other than ordering his monsters [[For the Evulz|for the heck of it]].

A brash and impulsive kid who comes to Popstar seeking revenge against the Star Warrior that [[You Killed My Father|killed his father]]. Dedede and Escargoon take this as a chance to [[Never Say "Die"|'get']] Kirby, and they tell him that Kirby's the Star Warrior that he's looking for. {{spoiler|Later it's revealed that it wasn't Kirby, but Meta Knight that did, indeed, [[Mercy Kill]] his father after he was possessed by Nightmare.}}

 

 

{{smallcaps|note:}} <small>He appears in the games as a regular enemy, and also as a helper character in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. Being only a minor character in the games with no personality, he was given one in the anime, hence the reason why he's on the [[Kirby of the Stars/Characters|anime's character page]] instead of the [[Kirby/Characters|game's character page.]]</small>

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Actually pulls it off twice--He turns good at the end of episode 19 <ref>and changes color as a [[Mythology Gag]] [[Palette Swap|to the games]]</ref>. He then reappears in episode 40 as an employee of NME, convincing them to bring out their most powerful monster, and ultimately sides with Kirby to defeat it.

* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: Discussed by [[Stealth Pun|Meta]] Knight--he gets carried away with revenge, and Nightmare takes advantage of this by [[Demonic Possession|turning him into a monster]], [[Generation Xerox|like he did to his father.]]

* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: His [[Signature Move|Signature Moves]], Vulcan Jab and Smash Punch.

* [[Memetic Hand Gesture]]: Joe often [[Character Tics|rubs his nose with the side of his index finger]], but there's no reason given as to why he always does this.
