{{about|the Lor Starcutter in a general context|the boss fight with the Lor Starcutter in Kirby's Return to Dream Land|[[Lor & Magolor]]}}
{{quote|The Lor Starcutter is a spaceship that serves as the headquarters for your adventure. As you gather Energy Spheres, new sub-games and challenge stages (in which you must use specific Copy Abilities) will become available to play here. Find all the Energy Spheres you can!|''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' manual}}
The '''Lor Starcutter''' (sometimes shortened to '''Lor''') is a technologically advanced flying ship which serves as a location, as well as [[Lor & Magolor|a boss]], in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe|remake]]. It is piloted by [[Magolor]], who claims to have found it abandoned in a volcano on [[Halcandra]]. In the opening cutscene for the game, the Lor Starcutter crashes on [[Popstar]], causing it to lose the oars, the left wing, the right wing, the mast, the emblem, and all 120 [[Energy Sphere]]s. In order for it to fly again, [[Kirby]] [[King Dedede|and]] [[Meta Knight|his]] [[Bandana Waddle Dee|friends]] must collect all of the missing parts. Once the Lor Starcutter has all parts restored, the Lor Starcutter is able to travel through dimensions to reach Halcandra, where it was originally salvaged.

The Lor Starcutter serves as a safe area Kirby can visit in-between his journeys in the game. Entering the Lor Starcutter leads to the main room with Magolor, as well as the ship's main console. The [[Copy Ability Testing Area|Copy Rooms]] are located to the left in the ship, the [[Challenge Stage]]s to the right, and the [[Sub-Game]]s can be accessed by either going to the left or right hallway and going down a ladder. However, all of those need a certain number of Energy Spheres to access, and access to any of the rooms requires that Kirby find the Oars (complete Level 1: [[Cookie Country]]).

Additionally in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', the Lor Starcutter also appears in [[Merry Magoland]], docked at the western portion of the park after Kirby has defeated [[Grand Doomer]] in the main story.

==Origin==
The following is spoken word for word by Magolor once Kirby has collected all 120 [[Energy Sphere]]s:

{{quote|The Lor is a legendary Halcandran vessel crafted by the ancients. It's said that an incredible power was used to construct it. And that the ancients used that same power to craft countless other legendary creations. I excavated this ship from the volcano where Landia dwells and repaired it. And I couldn't help but make a few upgrades before taking it for a spin. Legend also says that this ship has a mind of its own. I'm not so sure. But I'm hoping it will speak to me someday, if I take good care of it.|[[Magolor]]}}

It can be seen that the Lor Starcutter has a mind of its own when it rescues Kirby and company after Magolor is defeated. In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', the Special Page for Lor EX & Magolor states that the Lor sensed something was amiss when it met Magolor, and that it may be deliberately holding back its true power to help Kirby defeat him.

In the Wii version's [[Extra Mode]], Magolor EX's Special Page states that he stole both the Lor and the [[Master Crown]] from their "sacred resting places on Halcandra". This aligns with his claim that he excavated the ship from Landia's volcano, and suggests a link between the two artifacts. Other dialogue from Magolor in Extra Mode strongly implies that the same ancients who built the Lor also built [[Galactic Nova|Nova]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and the [[Star Rod]] from ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''.

==Locations and Unlock Requirements==
[[File:KRtDL Lor Interior screenshot.png|thumb|right|400px|The main deck of the Lor, with its crew having been knocked about by [[Landia]].]]
The Lor Starcutter contains many rooms which are unlocked by collecting Energy Spheres. These rooms can be sorted into three basic types: [[Challenge Stage]]s, [[Sub-Game]]s, and [[Copy Ability Room]]s. The following charts list all of the rooms that can be unlocked inside the Lor, and their Energy Sphere requirements. Note that the list differs between ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' and ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''.

|''The Lor Starcutter is a ship that sails across the universe. The ship’s parts, scattered all across Dream Land following its crash landing, were all collected with the help of Kirby and the gang. Some of the parts, like the emblem, mast, oars, and wings, serve as more than just ship parts. You'll find out why later.''
|''A spacefaring vessel that travels among the stars. Though its parts got scattered all across Dream Land, they were safely reassembled thanks to Kirby and friends. It's actually more powerful than it looks – the emblem fires star-shaped projectiles, the mast can create tornadoes, and even its oars and wings can be fired as weapons.''

==Cameos==
The Lor has made several cameo appearances in later ''Kirby'' games.
===''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition''===
The Lor makes a brief cameo in ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]''. The interior is seen in the introductory cutscene for the [[New Challenge Stages]] Sub-Game when Magolor introduces himself, and it is seen flying in the background in the credits sequence, where Magolor returns to it after flying behind Kirby for a while.

===Stone===
The Lor is depicted in one of Kirby's [[Stone]] ability transformations in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' (as a silver sculpture in all three games).

===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===
In this game, the Lor Starcutter appears as an icon in the [[Jukebox/Kirby and the Rainbow Curse|Music Room]] that represents the ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' music tracks.

===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', the Lor sometimes appears inside the Time-Border Great Slash Flash laser beam from [[Galacta Knight#Kirby: Planet Robobot|Galacta Knight Returns]]. Additionally, a [[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|sticker]] of the Lor's emblem can also be obtained in the game.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', the Lor sometimes appears in the level map of [[Far-Flung Starlight Heroes]]. In Update 4.0.0, a new [[Friend Ability]] called [[Magoloran Launch]] is used by Magolor as a [[Dream Friend]], where allies can jump on the ship before it charges forward to attack.

The Lor Starcutter also cameos in the ending picture of [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]] if the player completes the mode with either Magolor, [[Taranza]], or [[Susie]].

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', the Lor Starcutter appears on a [[Character Treat]], using its artwork from ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.

==In the ''Kirby'' novel series==
[[File:V16 Illustration 19.png|thumb|80px|Magolor looking at the Lor with his stolen gears.]]
In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], the Lor appears in ''[[Kirby and the Search for the Dreamy Gears!]]''. In this volume, the Lor is an ancient mysterious ship that was rumored to have the power to cross to a different world. It serves as [[Magolor (novel character)|Magolor]]'s motivation for collecting the gears in the story. Before the events of the story, Magolor finds the Lor in the sky in a broken state. Because some of its parts are missing, the Lor can't move. Magolor searches for a way to repair the Lor, but since the Lor was made from the power of the ancient civilization, ordinary parts can't repair it. After hearing a rumor that an [[Galactic Nova|ancient machine]] was found in [[Diamond Town]], Magolor comes to the town to find if there are ancient parts that he can use. After stealing all the gears, Magolor tries to escape Diamond Town and repair the Lor, but is captured by [[Hugo]] and his subordinates.

==Trivia==
*During the second stage of the Corrupt Hyness fight in Heroes in Another Dimension, the Boss Description page in the pause menu states that Lor means "Paradise" in Hyness' language. This is possibly a reference to the Lor Starcutter's origin, suggesting it was not always used for battle purposes. This is more concretely hinted at in Lor EX's Special Page in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', which states that "it can travel to far-off paradises with ease".
