Nightmare in Dream Land is an absolute piece of garbage that puts the fantastic original NES title to shame. It's only redeeming quality is its introduction of Meta Knightmare mode, which was improved upon in Super Star Ultra, but even that isn't enough to make up for the fact that it did a shitty and, more importantly, lazy job of representing all the things that made the original awesome in the first place.
Amazing Mirror was kind of an oddity for the Kirby series, it was an oddly long, gigantic game which was not really designed with beginner players in mind like most Kirby games are, and in some places it posed some difficulty for even veteran players (the final boss, for example, is probably one of the most difficult in the entire Kirby franchise). That said though, it was designed very well and obviously had a lot of effort put into it, plus its really enjoyable to play, provided you have a lot of time to dedicate to a Kirby game.
And you know what, even if I ignore Nightmare in Dream Land on its merits as a remake and just view it as a stand-alone title, Amazing Mirror still outclasses it in Every. Single. Way. There is just no contest here.
Also a side note for everyone who has posted so far:
*ahem*
"DREAM LAND" IS TWO WORDS! NOT ONE! IT HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR EVERY SINGLE KIRBY GAME EVER MADE!! WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR PEOPLE TO STOP MAKING THIS MISTAKE?! WHAT DOES IT TAAAAAAAAAAAAKE?! *sob*
