The Black Mirror[1] is an enchanted object from Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, which serves as a gateway between dimensions, and a conduit for King D-Mind's influence.
Overview
The Black Mirror resembles the Dimension Mirror from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and Kirby: Triple Deluxe, but bears a sharp black frame adorned with stars and varnish, and without wings. Its interior is likewise a very dark hue, and seems to only poorly reflect light. This gives the mirror a stronger resemblance to Dark Mind, and King D-Mind especially.
The Black Mirror is controlled by King D-Mind, the king of darkness from another dimension who resembles a cross between Shadow Dedede and Dark Mind. The king used it to influence Taranza, causing him to wreak havoc on the Dream Kingdom by unleashing all sorts of monsters. Specifically, Taranza's desires to bring back Queen Sectonia using the mirror caused the extra-dimensional road to another dimension to begin collapsing, in turn, bringing Parallel Susie and Parallel Landia forth from the mirror. It isn't long until Taranza loses control of the mirror's power and brings forth his dark form from the mirror itself.[2].
Upon defeat, Dark Taranza uses the mirror to summon King D-Mind, but immediately was taken down by the latter with his hammer. Upon his second defeat, Team Kirby seals King D-Mind inside the mirror and shatters it, destroying the influence on Taranza and restoring peace to the Dream Kingdom.
Because Team Kirby Clash Deluxe takes place in a separate continuity, the Black Mirror, and all beings associated with it, are not part of main Kirby series canon.
