Dark Matter

Dark Matter appeared in 1995 video game called Kirby's Dream Land 2. Dark Matter (referred to as !? in Kirby's Dream Land 2’s bad ending) is the main antagonist of Kirby's Dream Land 2, and the secondary antagonist in Kirby's Dream Land 3.

Dark Matter, after being purged from King Dedede in Dark Castle, appears as a black sphere with a single eye, as well as spiky hair. When the battle commences, Dark Matter now wears a cloak, a mask, and wields a sword. This form is dubbed Dark Matter Blade in the North American version of Kirby: Planet Robobot’s The True Arena. After being defeated, Dark Matter transforms into Real Dark Matter, a black sphere adorned with round appendages, and a single eye in the center; depending on the source, these appendages can either be purple or orange (more commonly the latter), can be eight, ten, or twelve of them, and are either petal-like or spherical.

Dark Matter has had cameo appearances across the Kirby series, but it returned in Kirby: Planet Robobot as a clone to fight.
