The Fountain of Dreams, originally known as the Dream Spring[1] or the Dream Fountain,[2] is a location that has appeared in many Kirby games. It made its first appearance in Kirby's Adventure, as well as in its remake Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.
The fountain is said to have been created by the Star Rod, which gives the fountain power and radiates this energy out across Dream Land to give good dreams to all of its citizens.[3] Similar-looking fountains can be found on other planets, and collecting the power housed within all of them is the only way to summon the legendary Galactic Nova.
In Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, the Fountain of Dreams serves as the game's final level. King Dedede is fought in front of the fountain in Rainbow Resort's final stage, and in the following level, Nightmare emerges from it after Kirby returns the Star Rod to its mount on the top of the fountain. From there, Kirby must use the Star Rod to chase down and destroy Nightmare once and for all.
The Fountain of Dreams, referred to as the Dream Fountain, appears in the final stages of Kirby's Avalanche's Competition mode, starting with Stage 9. The manual of the game elaborates that an Avalanche tournament is being held at the Dream Fountain, and the winner will become the Avalanche champion and win the Dream Fountain Cup. The opponents faced at the Dream Fountain are Heavy Mole, Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright, Kracko, Meta Knight, and King Dedede, the last of whom is the final boss. If Kirby successfully defeats King Dedede, he receives the Dream Fountain Cup to commemorate his victory.
In this game, the Star Rod does not appear at the top of the fountain, instead being replaced by a decoration resembling Nightmare's Power Orb.
In Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, the Fountain of Dreams appears during Milky Way Wishes. The fountain appears in the game's opening cutscene, where it emits a bright beacon into the sky before it switches to narration. Near the end of the same cutscene, the fountain is shown creating a Warp Star for Kirby to use to travel through space. Each planet Kirby visits (with the exception of ???) has its own Fountain of Dreams that holds one of the stars Kirby needs to summon Galactic Nova; these fountains are all more or less identical to the Fountain of Dreams on Popstar.
While Meta Knight also summons Galactic Nova in Meta Knightmare Ultra, he is not shown visiting each planet's Fountain of Dreams.
Fountain of Dreams is a Battle Stage in Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Kirby Fighters 2. It is completely flat with no hazards, and replaces Another Dimension from the Kirby Fighters Sub-Game.
In Kirby Fighters Deluxe Team DDD are fought here in the final round of Single Player mode, using the Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land 2D background on the Very Hard difficulty, and the default 3D background on the other difficulty levels.
The stage returns in Kirby Fighters 2, though this time the stage does not have 3D form, instead always using the 2D background.
In Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, the Fountain of Dreams appears as an icon in the Music Room that represents the Kirby's Adventure music tracks.
In Kirby Star Allies, the Fountain of Dreams appears in the Celebration Picture "Friends' Getaway".
In the Road Trip of Kirby Air Riders, the Fountain of Dreams appears once in the story. Zorah's wish to move on its own reaches the fountain, which then forwards the wish to Galactic Nova. The Fountain of Dreams is never mentioned afterwards.
The fountain's appearance in this game greatly resembles its appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series. Its method of transferring Zorah's wish to Nova also resembles its trophy description from Super Smash Bros. Melee, using the Star Rod's power to generate jets of water that become a fine mist which drifts out into space.

SmashWiki has more information about this subject here. |
The Fountain of Dreams appears as a stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee. The stage is actually set in a large pool of water, with the fountain in the background. There are two floating platforms on the left and right side of the stage that are supported by a jet of water and move up and down, and one stationary floating platform in the middle of the stage. The default music that plays on this stage is a remix of the "Gourmet Race" theme from Kirby Super Star. The design of the fountain and the music that plays on the stage was later re-used for the King Dedede battle in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. It also appears that the design for the stage would later inspire the permanent design for the Fountain of Dreams in later Kirby games. The stage's music was also used in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an alternate track for the Green Greens stage, and in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as an alternate track for the Dream Land stage.
It returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a graphical upgrade and added details.

"This mystical fountain in Dream Land uses the power of the Star Rod to create a gush of pleasant dreams that flow like water. The dreams then become a fine mist and drift over the land, bringing peaceful rest to one and all. It's been confirmed that there are identical facilities on other planets near Pop Star." | Kirby's Adventure, 05/93 |
