Kirby Right Back At Ya! - Episode 14

There was some streaming stuttering while I was watching this. It never happened before and I'm sure it's only temporary. Didn't get a key for watching.

King Dedede is unhappy with the way NME are treating him as a customer so after complaining he gets a huge bunch of complimentary pillows that give people nightmares about Kirby. He then gives them out among the unwitting Cappytown residents. That night everyone starts to have nightmares about Kirby which are shown as clips from earlier in the series, making this episode serve partly as a recap episode.

The NME monster this time is Noddy, an infamous enemy character throughout the Kirby games that gives him the Sleep ability. Kirby doesn't need to eat him during this episode as he's already fast asleep throughout most of it!

I can't help but think a very subtle reference was made to the title of an Akira Kurosawa film "The Bad Sleep Well". There are a lot of puns about dreams and dreaming — and how appropriate! It is Dreamland after all!

EDIT: I actually did get a key from watching after all. It turns out unless you watch an episode the whole way through it doesn't count as a viewing. I was just watching it in bits when I got that error message (it works perfectly again now by the way). You know you've watched an episode the whole way through when you check the episode timetable and it's marked with a green tick. I wonder if something special happens when you get all the green ticks?
