'''eNeMeE''' (referred to as '''Nightmare''' in the Japanese version) 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 character)|Kabu]] explains in [[Kirby's Duel Role]] that [[Kirby (anime character)|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.

In the Japanese version, after Kirby and [[Tiff|Fumu]] defeat Nightmare, 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.

|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]]'').
