Kirby: Fright to the Finish— The Movie is a direct-to-video feature-length film released June 14, 2005 in the USA. Released by the Home Entertainment division of 4Kids Entertainment, the movie starred the popular Nintendo character Kirby.

The movie merges the last five episodes of the anime series, Kirby: Right Back At Ya! (in chronological order) together for an American release. This "movie" version does not exist in Japan. Additionally, the two "Air Ride" episodes had previously been aired on 4Kids TV as standalone episodes but were aired at previous point in the series as a promotion for the video game Kirby Air Ride The episodes were put back in its proper chronological location for the movie. It deals with the final showdown between Kirby and Nightmare (known in the dub as NME). Kirby gets tired during the fight and Nightmare enters his sleep. Tiff discovers that since Nightmare is a living form of nightmares, he can only be beaten in the dream world. She then enters Kirby's dream. When Nightmare is about to crush Kirby, a Warp Star appears and Kirby swallows it, becoming Star Rod Kirby, which is Nightmare's only weakness. With the Star rod, Nightmare is ultimately defeated.

The DVD included a "Bonus Kirby Episode" called Hour of the WolfWrath, and the American-created music videos Kirby ‘If Ya Can’t Beat ‘em, Eat ‘em and What’s Cooking on Kirby. Although out of print, this DVD is still available as new and used.
