| “ | The one who summoned the invader from another dimension was none other than Taranza, who plotted while hidden in apparent defeat. He has summoned the giant mirror as his final weapon, gazing not only upon its shimmering surface but the dark shadows lurking within...” |

The black mirror is an item in the Kirby series, debuting in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. It is the origin of Dark Taranza and King D-Mind, and seems to be a counterpart to the Dimension Mirror.
Physical Appearance
The black mirror resembles a darker, more sinister version of the original Dimension Mirror. Instead of wing and feather designs, it is adorned with numerous spikes and stars, with two of the spikes curving upward to resemble horns. The mirror itself appears onyx with some hints of silver, contrasting the Dimension Mirror's golden color scheme.
Games
Team Kirby Clash Deluxe
The origins of the black mirror are unknown. Taranza presumably found it before the game's events, as he is under its influence for the entire story. In his corrupted form, he summons legions of powerful enemies to besiege the Dream Kingdom.
As a last resort when cornered in the Decisive Battlefield, Taranza summons the black mirror to use against Team Kirby. Dark Taranza emerges from it and does battle with the team; when defeated, he calls up the black mirror and summons the king of darkness, King D-Mind. He destroys Dark Taranza and assaults Team Kirby. The heroes challenge him, return him to the mirror, and destroy it--this traps the king in a sealed-off dimension in the process.
With the mirror shattered, Taranza comes to his senses and becomes a passive member of the village. Peace returns to the Dream Kingdom and Team Kirby vows to suppress any threats that should emerge.
