The Ripple Star is the rainbow-colored sixth world encountered by Kirby and Ribbon while on their mission to rid their realm of Dark Matter in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. The similarities between this realm and Pop Star are endless, incorporating the kid-friendly coloration and easy-going atmosphere seen so familiarly on the world of Pop Star. As this is the final regular realm of the game and the last of which Dark Matter plagues (given that Kirby does not collect all of the Crystal Shards from the other realms), the final boss of the game, Miracle Matter, is located here. Once Miracle Matter is defeated, the Dark Matter will relieve the Ripple Star, and by extention, the rest of the Pop Star's realm, to never return. However, say Kirby has collected all of the Crystal Shards thus far in the game - the Ripple Star will hence be the penultimate level, only before the Dark Star and the ultimate showdown between Kirby and the leader of the Dark Matter, Zero Two.
Like in all worlds of The Crystal Shards, the first four stages within the Ripple Star hide three Crystal Shards, while the final stage rewards only one after the defeat of the boss. Nevertheless, all shards within one level need not to be collected before Kirby is granted access to the next; Kirby must simply complete the level.
