''And how does "too much 4th wall breaking" make my idea bad? ''

Because it's with Nightmare, who isn't much of a 4th wall breaker.

''I didn't say we had to parody Kirby for the story. I just said it would be, as a whole, based off of Kirby's Adventure. ''

I'm using Kirby as an ajective, meaning anything in the media

''Problem is that it won't fit the parody. The Staff is a parody of the Star Rod, with the Fourth Wall being a parallel to the Fountain of Dreams. The Nightmare Epic is the only place where this would fit. ''

As said before, this doesn't need to be a parody. But you could use the rod in another story, and make another Nightmare Parody who will probably actual resemble the Kirby Nightmare in terms of background, personality and powers. The Nightmare we have is completely new, and only reselbles the other guy because someone took that picture and pasted a beak on it.
