In the Games

Kirby Super Star

The Galactic NOVA first appears in Kirby Super Star, playing a major roll in the Milky Way Wishes game. During Milky Way Wishes, Kirby is told that he has to awaken the Galactic NOVA with the power of the stars around them and ask it for help.

After Kirby completes his quest, Marx appears and wishes he could rule Popstar. NOVA begins to grant his wish, causing him to grow large and gain wings. Kirby then has to use the powers of the stars to destroy the NOVA's nucleus.

After Kirby manages to beat Marx, Marx is shown flying into the Galactic NOVA, causing it to explode.

Kirby Super Star Ultra

In Kirby Super Star Ultra, the enhanced remake of Kirby Super Star, it is revealed that after the NOVA (and Marx) explode, the remaining power from the NOVA begins to build up and is absorbed by Marx, who is brought back to life as a mutated, zombie-like form known as Marx Soul.

Trivia

• In Kirby Super Star Ultra, Marx Soul's necklace appears to be made of parts of the Galactic NOVA.
