Well I wasn't trying to imply it would lead anyone to thinking it was something like Doom, I just think it's hilariously out of place in such happy go lucky games. Also, Sakurai's gone on record clarifying that any time Kirby "defeats" or even eats an enemy, they just reappear somewhere else in Dreamland. He's basically force-teleporting them, which makes sense if all of these creatures represent dreamers or ideas.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
