Kirby fires out a Star Bullet.

The term Star refers to many different entities within the Kirby series. As such, stars take on many different forms and functions. The term is most commonly used to refer to the Star Bullets that Kirby spits out at his enemies.

List of Stars (or entities with 'Star' in their names)

• Ability Stars are star-shaped objects that contain the essence of a Copy Ability. They often fall out of Kirby when he is hit by a strong attack or can be discarded at will.
• Action Stars are star-shaped items which cause random things to happen when struck in the Kirby Fighters games.
• Assist Stars are star-shaped bubbles that hold Food items, which can be stored for later use.

• The Lor Starcutter is a flying ship owned by Magolor, which has star patterns and symbols.

• Kirby's heroic heart is a star-shaped object (sometimes just called the Star) which is used to guide the Kirbys in Kirby Mass Attack and is evidently part of Kirby himself.
• Point Stars are collectible stars that take on various forms throughout the series. Collecting enough of them will net Kirby a 1-Up.
• Planet Popstar is Kirby's star-shaped home world.
  • Likewise, other planets, especially those visited in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, are often referred to as 'stars' as well, despite only Popstar resembling a star.

• Star Blocks are a regular occurrence in Kirby games and can be smashed or inhaled.
• Star Bullets are Kirby's primary means of attack when he has no Copy Ability.

  • Star Dream Soul OS is a tougher, more powerful and destructive version of Star Dream that appears in Kirby: Planet Robobot's True Arena.
• The Starship is a flying spacecraft that Kirby uses to battle Galactic Nova.
• The Star Rod is a wish-granting item that was stolen from the Fountain of Dreams and its absence is upsetting the sleep of the residents of Dream Land. It is later used as a weapon that allows Kirby to fire star-shaped projectiles at Nightmare.
• The term Star Warrior is used in the anime to refer to a specific order of warriors who keep the peace in the universe - Kirby and Meta Knight being the most noteworthy examples.
• The Triple Star Cane allows Kirby to fire up to three star-shaped projectiles outward, which will then return to him.
• The Warp Star is a regularly occurring star that allows Kirby to travel great distances by riding it.
  • Similarly, other such vehicles, like the majority of Air Ride Machines, are often referred to as 'Stars'.

And finally, there are a great deal of background stars, as one might expect, in the night sky in various places. There are also places where Kirby walks on stars, such as the eternal planet Halfmoon. Stars are also used as a decorative motif on all sorts of structures in the series.
