'''Pop Star''' is the first level in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', and the home world of [[Kirby]]. It is distinguished by its verdant forests and grasslands, and its ancient castles. [[Ribbon]] finds herself here after [[Dark Matter (cloud)|Dark Matter]] shatters the [[Crystal Shard|Crystal]], and happens to bump into Kirby, who agrees to help her get the shards back. Its name is likely a pun on "pop star", a type of musical celebrity, just as the following world, [[Rock Star]], is a pun on "rock star".

==Overview==
==Overview==
Being the first level, Pop Star is a relatively simple affair, consisting of only three primary stages and a fourth boss stage against [[Whispy Woods|a familiar wooded adversary]]. Unlike in subsequent levels, each primary stage has Kirby fighting a mid-boss at the end with cutscenes spaced between them, each foe being a friend who has been possessed by Dark Matter. Once these are defeated, they will be freed from Dark Matter's influence and will join Kirby on his quest. Given that these mid-bosses become friends, Kirby is not able to fight them again if he revisits the stages they appear in.

Each stage takes place in a temperate green climate, whether it be an open grassland or a deep forest. In stage 2, Kirby has ready access to every base ability in the game, making it a useful place to obtain and/or try out the [[Power Combo]]s. The third stage has Kirby delving into [[Castle Dedede]] in search of the crystal shards. The shards themselves are usually either out in the open or barricaded behind a basic obstacle. The third shard in each standard stage is held by the character Kirby must fight.

[[File:K64 On to Rock Star scene.png|thumb|200px|The partially rebuilt crystal opens a portal to [[Rock Star]], allowing the team to venture to the new world to collect more shards.]]
Kirby and co. find themselves out in the grassy field with the growing crystal floating in front of them. It shakes, then transforms into a portal, revealing the next world - [[Rock Star]] - where more of the shards were scattered. Ribbon flies immediately into the portal, prompting the rest to follow. Once all of them are in, the portal closes, and the Crystal flies off into space toward the planet in question.
