'''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]] shatters the [[Crystal Shard|Great Crystal]], and happens to bump into Kirby, who agrees to help her get the shards back.
'''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==
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.


Pop Star consists of four stages (including the Boss stage). Unlike the other levels, each normal stage has Kirby fighting a boss, each one 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.

===Stage 2===
{{clear}}
[[File:PopStarFall.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kirby views the autumn col{{ou}}rs in Stage 2.]]
'''Room 1''' - The stage begins on a path through an autumnal forest. The path leads right past several foes, though this presents an opportunity to try out more [[Power Combo]]s. Past some [[Gordo]]s, a [[Sparky]] can be seen guarding a doorway into a tree trunk.


'''Room 2''' - The path continues upward through the hollow trunk. The remaining base [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] can be found in here. At the top, another hole leads out of the trunk.
==Ending cutscene==
 
[[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.]]
'''Room 3''' - [[Waddle Dee]] is operating a wooden lift across a [[Void|chasm]], which Kirby can ride. Along the way, some [[Point Star]]s can be collected. At the other end is another hollowed trunk to enter.
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.
 
'''Room 4''' - The path continues down this trunk interior. From the top platform, it's a long fall through a hole in the floor. Around this hole, a [[Maxim Tomato]] and [[1-Up]] can be obtained.
 
'''Room 5''' - Kirby will have to contend with a large [[Bouncy]] in this room. Once it is defeated, a crystal shard appears, and the way forward opens.
 
In the last room, a cut-scene plays if {{realMe}} is playing this stage for the first time. In it, [[Adeleine]] the painter is busy on her canvas when a crystal shard lands next to her. While admiring it, [[Dark Matter]] emerges from the painting and engulfs her. At this moment, Kirby and his entourage arrive on the scene, only to have the good-natured artist turn on them.
 
Adeleine attacks by painting a number of things on her canvas, all of which come to life and attack Kirby. These enemies are - in sequence - an [[N-Z]], [[Bronto Burt]], [[Mariel]], [[Mumbies]], and a strange pixellated thing. After these are defeated, Adeleine gets angry, and paints more substantial foes. First she paints [[Ice Dragon]], then [[Dark Matter]] in its orb form. When both of these go down, Adeleine jumps onto the stage and tries swinging her brush at Kirby, but she can be knocked out with a simple [[Slide]] kick or [[Air Pellet]]. This done, the last shard of the stage appears, and Adeleine returns to normal. She joins the party after this fight.

===Stage 3===
[[File:PopStarCastle.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kirby prepares to infiltrate the castle in Stage 3.]]
'''Room 1''' - The stage begins outside a large castle, as Kirby progresses along the path to its front gate. A few enemies will try to get in the way, but they are no match for Kirby's pinkness. The path eventually leads across the castle drawbridge and in through the main gate.
 
'''Room 2''' - In the castle hall, Kirby will need to progress past the [[Ghost Knight]] to reach the door up the stairs.
 
'''Room 3''' - In here, Kirby can ride a moving platform, but will be ambushed by [[Bronto Burt]]s and a [[Sir Kibble]] at the end.
 
'''Room 4''' - This room is a small column that leads up onto the walls.
 
'''Room 5''' - Out on the walls, Kirby will need to progress past more guards, then jump down the hole on the other side.
 
'''Room 6''' - This room looks much like Room 4, but Kirby can find a crystal shard underneath a green barrier.
 
'''Room 7''' - In this small room, Adeleine will paint a [[1-Up]] for Kirby.
 
'''Room 8''' - This area is a wide open central chamber with a starry fountain in the middle. Kirby will ascend the spiral staircase past more baddies, then climb a chain to reach the top.
 
In the last room, Kirby will have to do battle with [[King Dedede]] if this is {{realMe}}'s first time here. A cut-scene will play where King Dedede finds a shard, and the team tries to get him to hand it over, but he refuses to do so. At this point, Dark Matter appears and possesses the king (again). Once Dedede goes down, he will come back to his senses and (reluctantly) join the party.

[[File:WhispyWoods.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kirby battles with Whispy and his children.]]
<gallery>
Kirby gets plopped down into a circular arena in the woods, with Whispy in the center and his three children, [[Whispy Woods Jr.]] on the path. In this first part of the fight, Whispy will shoot out [[Apple]]s at Kirby. Kirby can then use these as ammunition against the Jr.s, who will be hopping around the place and occasionally spitting out [[Air Pellet]]s.

Once all three Jr.s go down, Whispy gets angry, and starts a new wave of attacks. He will shoot an Air Pellet, then shake his canopy, throwing down a bunch of Apples onto the stage. After this, he will shoot out his roots to try and hit Kirby. Kirby can deal him damage by hitting the roots with the apples or with another attack.

Once Whispy is defeated, he will adopt a sick expression and stop fighting. Kirby can then grab the last Crystal Shard in the level and move on.
 
==Ending Cut-scene==
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.

This article is about the first level of Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. For the planet in a more general context, see Popstar. For the second level of Kirby Star Allies, see World of Miracles - Planet Popstar.

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 shatters the 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[edit]

Being the first level, Pop Star is a relatively simple affair, consisting of only three primary stages and a fourth boss stage against 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 Combos. 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.

Stages[edit]

Each stage is unlocked in succession after clearing the previous one. Defeating Whispy Woods is necessary to move on to Rock Star. For more information about a particular stage, click on the link to the stage's page in the table. For a full guide on how to obtain the Crystal Shards, see the Crystal Shard page.

Ending cutscene[edit]

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.
