Background

Dark Matter is a character and species in the Kirby series, debuting as the main antagonist and final boss of Kirby's Dream Land 2, where he stole the rainbow bridges connecting the Rainbow Islands and possessed King Dedede in an attempt to shroud the world in darkness. He also appears as the secondary antagonist and penultimate boss of 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, he 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, which resembles a black sphere adorned with ten purple petal-like appendages, and a single eye in his center. In his appearances in other games, Dark Matter appears in his Real Dark Matter form, but his appendages are orange and spherical, and the amount varies between eight, ten, or twelve of them.
