'''''Kirby Super Star''''', | '''''Kirby Super Star''''', known as '''''Kirby's Fun Pak''''' in European languages and as '''''Kirby Active''''' during development, is a main-series [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' game]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] that was developed by [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. Unlike other games in the series, it is notable for not following a single storyline, but instead consisting of six different main games, one extra game in the form of a boss endurance mode, and two sub games, each with its own scenario and gameplay elements. | ||
''Kirby Super Star'' is often considered by fans to be the most important game in the ''Kirby'' series, as it defined several of the series' most enduring tropes, and its legacy stretches through most if not all subsequent games in the series.

''Kirby Super Star'' introduced the idea of giving (nearly) every [[Copy Ability]] a distinct hat and an expanded move-set which relies on specific controller inputs like in traditional fighting games. It also introduced several recurring characters (such as [[Dyna Blade]], [[Chef Kawasaki]], and [[Marx]]), several recurring abilities (such as [[Wing]], [[Fighter]], and [[Yo-Yo]]), and several recurring musical themes (such as the [[Gourmet Race (theme)|Gourmet Race theme]], the full versions of the [[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens theme]] and [[King Dedede's Theme]], and the [[Boarding the Halberd|two]] [[Havoc Aboard the Halberd|themes]] associated with the [[Halberd]]), among other ideas. It was also the first main series ''Kirby'' game to feature [[multiplayer]], allowing a second player to take control of a [[Helper]] that Kirby can call to his side by sacrificing a Copy Ability. | ||
In 2008, the game received a remake named ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' on the [[Nintendo DS]]. | In 2008, the game received a remake named ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' on the [[Nintendo DS]]. | ||

Additionally, almost every ability comes with a special hat and/or [[Color changes|color change]] which is applied to Kirby when he gains the ability (''Kirby Super Star'' being the first game in the series to do this). | ||

Despite this regional name difference, the DS remake ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' uses the American ''Kirby Super Star'' title for all Western language versions and refers to the original version as such on the back cover.

*Not counting special abilities, ''Kirby Super Star'' introduced the highest number of new Copy Abilities to the series since the original ''Kirby's Adventure'', adding 12 to the game.

*A prototype of the game on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] was revealed during the [[Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert]] in April 2017. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], this prototype was only meant for internal use and not as a released product. It was "fairly feature-complete" and used as a template for the final game.<ref>[http://sourcegaming.info/2017/04/19/kirbys-development-secrets/ Kirby's Development Secrets – Source Gaming]</ref><ref>[https://www.famitsu.com/news/201705/17132636.html?page=2 おまけ 『星のカービィ スーパーデラックス』のファミコン版試作キャラクター! - Famitsu]</ref> | |||
*According to an interview with Sakurai for the SNES Classic Edition, a horror-themed game was planned to be included in ''Kirby Super Star''. This game involved Kirby having to escape a haunted house, with a curse placed upon him causing his lips to be sealed shut. Instead of Copy Abilities, Kirby would've used items to emulate their effects; for example, a candle would give him the [[Fire]] ability. The game was titled "Heat Haze Mansion" (Kagero Mansion in the interview's official translation). No work was done on this game, as all others were prioritized. | |||
