I was hoping you'd include one really cool thing that was done. The VA for Parallel Nightmare in Super Kirby Clash is Banjo Ginga, who had voiced Nightmare in the original Japanese dub for the anime. Roughly a 10 year Reprisal from the last time he did anything with the character, and 16 from the anime's final episode. Nothing to do with lore, but a fun note.
I've said before I absolutely LOVE Nightmare as a villain, and I'll say it time and time again. He has pretty much no association with Dark Matter, he just does terrible things because he's a diabolical villain that just wants to cause misery because it's in his best interest, and sometimes you don't need a sad backstory, sometimes just being evil for the sake of evil is motivation enough and I love that about Nightmare. That, and his battle theme is amazing, I hope Nightmare starts becoming a regular villain again in the games!
You know in the anime Kirby Right Back at Ya, many kirby fans believe that the Nightmare Wizard created Meta Knight but Meta Knight rebelled against him. Maybe Meta Knight's origins in the game universe maybe the same since Meta Knight was testing Kirby in Kirby's Adventure (Nightmare in Dreamland).
Fun fact from the Anime, it was implied by Meta Knight that Nightmare once created the most powerful monster ever to exist. But this monster was so powerful that it refused his commands. Nightmare knew that it would only be a matter of time before his greatest creation turned against him and would eventually defeat him once and for all. So he banished it. And that monster was a chess piece shaped like a little pink ball. It's funny how no matter what media Kirby appears in, his/her/their true origins are always directly tied to a source of ultimate evil. Just further proving that Kirby and their enemies are really just two sides to the same coin.🙂
Phew, that's it. That's the last TRUE video I thought was in dire need of an update! There are a couple I still plan to, but this one I always felt was a missed opportunity last time. I spent the entire video explaining why the anime WASN'T canon, rather than explaining what IS canon... regardless if it's from a separate universe!
Something I felt was interesting to mention is that in the anime, Nightmare was the one who made Kirby, that is, by accident. Kirby was originally going to be another monster if not for Nightmare's mistake. While not exactly the same as Kirby's origin in the games, it's interesting to see how close that story and the one Star Allies tells are
I want a reboot of the Kirby anime, not gonna lie. And frankly, there is a ton of new events from the games it could gain inspiration from or even expand on. Like giving backgrounds for some of the characters or bosses that we normally wouldn't in the games (Marx, Magalor, Galacta Knight, and far far more). My only issue is they would likely change the precious gems that are Meta Knight and Dedede's voices...
It’s weird that lore wise Nightmare is probably the least important final boss.

Fun fact: Super Kirby Clash is the only Kirby game since Adventure that shows stars on Nightmare's cloak during his fights.
Anyone gonna talk about how great Kirby’s aim is? He tossed the Star Rod and it landed in its proper place
Nightmare to Kirby, Meta knight and Dedede: "You used me... FOR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!?"
we can talk about the fact that Nightmare had arms and Pararel Nightmare doesnt?

The next kirby game is gonna be the pinnacle of the kirby series I cant wait.

At this point the Kirby timeline/canon is just getting more and more confusing
I remember playing nightmare in dream land and thinking nightmare was absolutely scary.

Nightmare might have some connection with the ancients

You forgot to mention the anime making Dedede practically allies with Nightmare instead of trying to keep him out of Dreamland

Not to be a pessimist, but we’ll get a 3D Kirby game before nightmare lore. Which is to say, a long time later.
