How to Beat Nightmare
Nightmare is a VS. Boss that can be fought in the Stadium Challenge of Kirby Air Riders. See tips on how to beat Nightmare in this guide!
How to Beat Nightmare
Avoid its Spinning Charged Attacks
Nightmare has a charged attack where it launches a spinning ball that rushes in your direction. Sometimes, it'll even turn into a ball itself, which leaves you with 2 attacks to dodge. Boost charge away from them once they get close to avoid taking a lot of damage.
Hit Nightmare Quickly and Run
For Nightmare's fight, try to land some hits quickly and run before it can hit back. You can also attack whenever Nightmare is standing still. Pick up Copy Abilities on the field like Needle or Fire so you can hit harder as you approach the boss.
If you have available projectile items like Multi-Missiles, you can also use them to attack Nightmare from a safer distance.
Dodge Stars in the Vortex
There are instances where Nightmare will open up a vortex that covers the whole arena. Nightmare will deploy rows of stars that'll move in your direction, but you can slip through the gaps to avoid taking damage from them.
