Line 12:
== General ==
* The final bosses of the Kirby series tend to be really creepy: it's appropriate that a series that started in Dreamland would have [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show|nightmarish villains]].
* An enemy named Scarfy is a cutesy flying creature that resembles Kirby, until players turn their backs to it, [[Kung Fu
* The enemy-possessing Ghost ability and the miniboss that provides it in ''Squeak Squad'' make some truly eerie sounds, and have an attack where the miniboss grabs Kirby and [[Nothing Is Scarier|doesn't really seem to do anything to him but make creepy sounds]]. The player is left to assume that Kirby just suffered a serious assault on his psyche.
** Also, when possessing Scarfy and force it into the water, its eye bulges in the most eerie way before it bites the dust.
Line 23:
* In Kirby Super Star Ultra's subgame Revenge of the King, all the enemies are given different sprites. Scarfy is replaced with a grinning Granny Smith apple when happy, or a laughing red apple corpse-face with empty eye sockets when angry.
* Kirby Super Star features the minigame "Revenge of Meta Knight" in which Meta Knight attempts to take over Dreamland. After defeating Meta Knight, you have a time limit to get off the ship while Meta Knight is chasing you, flying into a huge rage as he angrily hurls big electric sparks at you. He enters this segment by shouting "[[Unstoppable Rage|YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE!]]". It was toned down in the remake.
* Kirby Super Star's subgame "Milky Way Wishes" features the final boss: Marx, who is at first a cute guy bouncing on a ball. Once Kirby awakes Nova to wish for the Sun and Moon to stop fighting, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_oWKu-dyUs Marx transforms] into a [[One
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs-9b5PUf9w And if you corrupt the battle against Marx..] (You can find the battle halfway through the video.)
* Super Star Ultra's [[Bonus Boss]] is Masked Dedede, where Dedede goes crazy and attacks you wearing a mask and wielding a upgraded hammer that shoots rockets. How can you tell he's snapped? The equipment is faulty and keeps giving him electric shocks, ''and he shrugs them off like they're nothing.'' Also, rockets, and the arena is electrified - he ''really'' means to finish Kirby this time. It's distressing to see a normally [[Affably Evil]] villain use such drastic measures.
Line 46:
** In the game's sound test, Kirby appears, wearing headphones, and will dance and make faces based on the song. For example, if you play the boss battle music, he gets an intense look on his face. If you play this track, he gets a terrified look on his face, and it's really quite disturbing, especially combined with the music. It's the only track where he makes that face.
* 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
* Kirby 64 also has the scene right before fighting a possessed Adeleine, sporting the ultimate [[Nightmare Face]]. Pretty much every cutscene before fighting a Dark Matter-possessed friend is quite frightening.
* 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 Dreamland 2 called Propeller Bomb. Not a threat without animal friends, it becomes a [[Super Mario Bros 2 (Video Game)|Phanto]]-level menace when approached with one.
* In the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lyJZ3y1IZ0 trailer] for ''Return to Dreamland'', some pocket dimensions have what appears to be a void that players must outrun. The shadowy bat-like boss featured doesn't look too friendly, either.
* {{spoiler|Magolor's}} [[One
** {{spoiler|His}} (first) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP0RVSK64Hs death cry], and its two [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUoI4crWqQc unused] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp4eL5ooeAQ variations] give the infamous Marx Soul scream a run for its money.
* In ''Return to Dreamland'', a lot of the bosses look much creepier in {{spoiler|the Extra Mode, especially Magolor}}.
Line 59:
== Kirby's Epic Yarn ==
* At first, it looks like this is going to be avoided completely, what with Yin-Yarn, aka [[Fan Nickname|Mariachi Man]], as the final boss [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100819004634/kirby/en/images/thumb/4/4c/Kirby%27s_Epic_Yarn_Box_art.jpg/250px-Kirby%27s_Epic_Yarn_Box_art.jpg seen here.] However, just because the game's [[
* Incidentally, Kracko might just be the scariest-looking enemy in the whole game. The fluffy cloud's big bright watery eye has been replaced with a lifeless button.
* There's something just wrong about seeing Kirby unwrap to go through those narrow tubes, turning into a long piece of string with a pair of eyes. [[Claustrophobia|Claustrophobiacs]] might find it unsettling.
Line 81:
== ''Kirby: Canvas Curse'' ==
* In ''Canvas Curse'', the final boss, Drawcia, is a paint-themed witch, who isn't scary {{spoiler|until she goes [[One
** Her entire stage as well. The first room has large empty spaces, and long platforms colored with surreal blotches of paint. In the final room, there are [[Nightmare Face|snickering paintings with distorted facial expressions.]] All with very [[Nothing Is Scarier|minimalist]] music in the background. And if Old-School songs are enabled, the stage's background music is a very creepy version of the "Museum" song from ''Nightmare in Dream Land''. Additionally, in the Japanese version, it's explained that Drawcia got the power to start messing with Dream Land by making a pact with the very same Zero from older games, who, by this point, has made it clear that it wants Kirby dead at all costs.
