Very descriptive (not sarcastic, in case you were wondering) With that you could make every boss battle with Nightmare everMnSG said:I recently updated my boss battle plot for Nightmare...
------------------------
Phase 1
Nightmare utilizes two phases in the boss fight.
His first phase mainly consists of him firing reflectable stars, and ramming into the players. He'll also fire energy balls that are shaped like his Power Orb form; they can be reflected right back at Nightmare to damage him.
When doing his ramming attacks, Nightmare will delay his attacks, making it possible to evade them in time. Additionally, the ramming attacks can be blocked and even countered.
Throughout the first phase, Nightmare will teleport from place to place, and players will have to reach him in order to deal any damage.
Nightmare's HP is as follows...
Very Easy: 500 HP
Easy: 600 HP
Normal: 700 HP
Hard: 800 HP
Very Hard: 1000 HP
Intense: 1200 HP
When half of his health is gone, Nightmare will move faster, and execute his attacks at a faster speed too. He'll also begin to fire stars while teleporting as well.
------------------------
Phase 2
When Nightmare's HP is fully depleted, he'll fool the player into thinking that he's beaten. However, he'll soon laugh and transform into a new entity named Nightmare Soul. Nightmare basically utilizes the powers that he absorbed from the trophies to achieve this state.
Nightmare Soul's appearance isn't too different from Nightmare's, except for that his cloak and shoulder pads are colored black, with the star markings being colored red, and his horns and necklace are colored red with platinum jewels attached to them. Lastly, his glasses are recolored red.
Nightmare Soul utilizes attacks that are mostly different from his basic attacks. The attacks are also unblockable now, unlike in the first phase, so blocking the attacks is a futile move in this phase. This also means that the attacks can't be reflected nor countered anymore.
Nightmare Soul's ultimate attack involves him firing three powerful energy rings, which operate exactly like Tabuu's Off-Waves; if any of them hit the players, they'll equal an instant KO (with some exceptions in The Arena). Nightmare Soul will always begin with this attack, and like the Off-Waves, they can only be dodged.
His energy ball attacks are also larger than in the first phase, and move faster as well.
In terms of ramming into the player, Nightmare Soul's ramming attacks no longer have any delays, making them much harder to avoid.
Nightmare Soul will also teleport a lot more frequently, and even fire stars during the teleporting. The stars can still be blocked, reflected, and countered, just like in the first phase. In fact, this is the only attack in Nightmare Soul's arsenal, in which players can do those actions.
Nightmare Soul will even attack with his hands, and do some attacks that were utilized by Tiki Tong. The hands can be attacked to damage Nightmare Soul.
Another feature that Nightmare Soul will use is that he'll utilize the Final Smashes that the playable characters can use as well. He'll primarily use Mario's Mario Finale, but the other Final Smashes that he'll use include the Zero Laser (Samus), PK Starstorm (Ness), Light Arrow (Zelda), and even Night Daze (Zoroark).
Nightmare Soul's HP is as follows...
Very Easy: 500 HP
Easy: 600 HP
Normal: 700 HP
Hard: 800 HP
Very Hard: 1000 HP
Intense: 1200 HP
When half of Nightmare Soul's HP is depleted, he'll introduce a new attack. The attack will have him creating a black hole that'll suck in any players who are too close to it. The black hole can deal heavy damage, and even cause 1-hit KOs on the harder skill levels.
Additionally, Nightmare Soul's attacks will move even faster, and he'll even increase the number of energy rings that he'll fire to "5"; this means that you must dodge a total of 5 energy rings, or else risk getting 1-hit KO'd.
Nightmare Soul will also teleport a lot more times than before, making it even harder to land an attack on him.
When Nightmare Soul's HP is fully depleted, he'll be defeated for good, and the main story of Adventure Mode will be completed.
------------------------

Note: Values are also applied in The Arena (Boss Battles).

Easy: 1200 HP

------------------------
Final Notes
In Adventure Mode, after defeating Nightmare, players will immediately face Nightmare Soul, making it impossible to change the characters that the players want to use. This also means that they can't recover any damage taken from Nightmare.
In The Arena, Nightmare will always be the final boss. Additionally, when Nightmare is defeated, players will immediately fight Nightmare Soul, meaning that they can't recover after defeating Nightmare.
