'''Ripple Star''' is the rainbow-colored sixth world encountered by [[Kirby]] and [[Ribbon]] while on their mission to rid their realm of [[Dark Matter (cloud)|Dark Matter]] in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. This world is where the [[Fairy|fairies]] live, and where Dark Matter had invaded in the intro for the game. As this is the final regular level of the game and the last which Dark Matter plagues, the "final" boss of the game, [[Miracle Matter]], is located here. If Kirby had successfully located all of the [[Crystal Shard]]s before defeating this boss, he will purge the remaining Dark Matter in hiding which flies off into space and forms the true final world of [[Dark Star]].

Its appearance takes form of a giant heart with a smiley face holding 3 small hearts that have 2 white wing-like growths on their top lying on their tips and a huge ring holding a huge yellow ribbon, presumably also referencing [[Ribbon]].

The similarities between this world and [[Pop Star (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|Pop Star]] are notable, as Ripple Star incorporates the same sort of vibrant coloration and easy-going atmosphere seen so readily found on Pop Star. This is particularly evident in the fact that the first stage of both worlds look largely identical in layout, and share the same theme music. Similarities in stage structure end there, however, as the following two stages have Kirby and his team infiltrate a sewer system in order to enter the Ripple Star Palace, then work their way up to the top floor where Miracle Matter resides. Once Miracle Matter is defeated, Dark Matter will appear to leave Ripple Star, and by extension, the rest of Pop Star's system, to never return. However, the principal body of Dark Matter remains in hiding, and cannot be uncovered unless Kirby has completely reformed the crystal by collecting all of the shards.

The first three stages within Ripple Star hide three Crystal Shards each, while the final stage rewards only one after the defeat of the boss. Unlike the previous worlds, Kirby will not be allowed to proceed to the next unless every prior [[Crystal Shard]] has been gathered. If this level is completed without them, the [[False Ending]] will play instead.

There are two possible cutscenes that will play after the defeat of [[Miracle Matter]]. Which one plays will depend on whether or not Kirby collected all the Crystal Shards prior to the encounter.

The crystal shines on Ripple Star, dispelling Dark Matter from its skies, causing it to explode out in space. Kirby and Co. celebrate, when they notice the crystal rising again. It then fires a beam at the [[Queen]], dispelling the Dark Matter hidden inside her as well. That Dark Matter escapes and forms a new world, [[Dark Star]]. Seeing this, Kirby gets out his trusty [[Cell Phone]] and uses it to call his [[Warp Star]] down. They all ride it out to the new dark planet while the fairies tend to their queen.

*Among other hints, Ripple Star will still appear infected by [[Dark Matter (cloud)|Dark Matter]] from the planet selection if the player has only received the [[False Ending]].
