'''eNeMeE''' is the primary villain of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', and the head of [[Night Mare Enterprises]]. Before the events of the show, eNeMeE had managed to dominate the known universe using his [[monster]]s and forces, wiping out most of the [[Star Warrior]]s in the process and creating a galactic empire centered on [[eNeMeE's Fortress|his floating fortress]]. Through the [[N.M.E. Sales Guy]], he sends monsters into [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]] which [[Kirby (anime)|Kirby]] must defeat.
'''eNeMeE''' is the overarching antagonist of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', and the head of [[Night Mare Enterprises]]. Before the events of the show, eNeMeE had managed to dominate the known universe using his [[monster]]s and forces, wiping out most of the [[Star Warrior]]s in the process and creating a galactic empire centered on [[eNeMeE's Fortress|his floating fortress]]. Through the [[N.M.E. Sales Guy]], he sends monsters into [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]] which [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] must defeat.


Throughout the majority of the show, eNeMeE remains hidden, and has relatively little dialogue. He is much more prominent in the final episode of the main series - [[Fright to the Finish]] - where Kirby defeats him using the [[Star Rod]], thus liberating the galaxy from N.M.E.'s clutches.

== Characteristics ==
==Characteristics==
eNeMeE is a spectral being and a living nightmare who is able to manifest at various sizes. He is invulnerable to all regular physical and energy-based attacks, as they will merely end up being absorbed into the void inside his cloak. He has the power to create [[monster]]s ([[Kabu (anime)|Kabu]] explains in [[Kirby's Duel Role]] that [[Kirby (anime)|Kirby]] himself was created by eNeMeE, though he was unable to control him afterward) and hypnotize people with his gaze. His main power is the ability to enter other characters' dreams and cause them to have nightmares, though in this state, he is vulnerable to attacks from the [[Star Rod]], which is his only weakness.

eNeMeE's motives are not clearly known, but he is shown to take pleasure in causing others pain through his monsters and by giving them nightmares. His main objective throughout the show is to hunt down and destroy all of the [[Star Warrior]]s so that he can conquer the universe. To this end, he set up [[Night Mare Enterprises]] in order to develop a network of transmitters which he uses to send monsters to wayward worlds.

To this end, he set up [[Night Mare Enterprises]] in order to develop a network of transmitters which he uses to send monsters to wayward worlds.
In the Japanese version, after Kirby and [[Tiff]] defeat eNeMeE, they hear his voice, saying that, since he is a dream that lives in everyone's hearts, he can never truly be vanquished. This implies that he's perhaps still alive in a way, as he says that for as long as he is feared by them, he could appear in their hearts, though it's unknown if this last part is literal or metaphorical.

|eNeMeE is given primary focus in this episode, as the main villain that Kirby must defeat. After the Halberd tries to attack his spectral image and fails, eNeMeE has all of the guns inside the fortress turn their fire on the ship, forcing it to find cover. Later on, eNeMeE possesses King Dedede and Escargoon in order to get them to kidnap Tiff and bring her to him. They do this, and eNeMeE then takes hold of Tiff himself, using her as bait to lure Kirby away. Kirby follows eNeMeE into his central chamber, which contains his giant chess board. Kirby tries to attack him using the [[Fire]] ability, but this has no effect, and Kirby is eventually drained of energy and put to sleep. eNeMeE decides to enter Kirby's dreams in order to torment him and takes Tiff along for the ride. Once inside Kirby's dream, eNeMeE notices how there is basically nothing but food inside, and starts destroying it, making Kirby visibly disturbed. At that moment, Tiff pulls out a secret weapon in the form of Kirby's Warp Star and tosses it to Kirby. He inhales it to gain the [[Star Rod]] ability, which he uses to defeat eNeMeE (as it is his only weakness). With this done, eNeMeE dissipates and Kirby and Tiff are able to escape.

|In English, eNeMeE is voiced by Michael Sinterniklaas rather than Andrew Rannells, due to the latter stepping away from voice acting to focus on his Broadway career (at the time the dub was released, he was starring in ''[[wikipedia:The Book of Mormon|The Book of Mormon]]'').
