Lor Starcutter

Lor Starcutter Official Artwork for Kirby's Return to Dream Land Details Game(s) Kirby's Return to Dream Land Inhabitant(s) Magolor

The Lor Starcutter is a location, as well as a boss, in the game Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It is piloted by Magolor. In the opening cutscene, the Starcutter crashes on Pop Star, causing it to lose the oars, the left wing, the right wing, the mast, the emblem, and all 120 Energy Spheres. In order for it to fly again, Kirby and friends must collect all of the missing parts. Once the Lor Starcutter has all parts restored, the Lor Starcutter is able to land on Magolor's homeworld, Halcandra.

On board the Lor Starcutter are some Copy Rooms, 2 Mini Games, and some challanges. Entering the Lor Starcutter leads to main room with Magolor, and the main console of the ship. The Copy Rooms are located to the left in the ship, the challenge rooms to the right, and the Mini-games 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).

Origin

	Notice: Stop right there, stubby little pink thing!
	Spoilers abound! If you do not wish to read them, skip ahead to the next heading or find a different article.

The following is spoken word for word by Magolor once Kirby has collected all 120 Energy Spheres:

“

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

Additionally, in Extra Mode, it is revealed that the same ancients who built the Lor also built the Galactic NOVA from Kirby Super Star and the Star Rod from Kirby's Adventure.

Some of the parts, like the emblem, mast, oars and wings, serve more than just ship parts. You'll find out later."
