'''Pop Star - Stage 2''' is the second stage of [[Pop Star (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|Pop Star]] in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. It takes place in a deep forest with foliage similar in hue to deciduous autumn colors. It features a cutscene where [[Adeleine]] is possessed by [[Dark Matter]], and then serves as a [[Mid-Boss]] for this stage. After being saved by [[Kirby]], Adeleine joins his party.

==Overview==
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.

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.

[[Waddle Dee (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|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.

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.

Kirby will have to contend with a [[Big Bouncy]] in this room. Once it is defeated, a crystal shard appears, and the way forward opens.

|The first [[Crystal Shard]] can be found during the [[Waddle Dee (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|Waddle Dee]] wooden lift section. Kirby will have to jump off the lift prematurely to find a line of [[Point Star]]s leading downward. The shard is below them.

===Mid-Boss: Adeleine===
[[File:K64 Adeleine scene 4.png|thumb|250px|Adeleine quickly turns hostile after being possessed by Dark Matter.]]
In the last room, a cutscene plays if the player 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.

The fight against Adeleine is similar to the boss battle against [[Ado]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. She 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 pixelated 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]] attack or [[Air Bullet]]. This done, the last shard of the stage appears, and Adeleine returns to normal. She joins the party after this fight.

== Trivia ==
*This relatively short stage contains every base [[Copy Ability]] in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', in a fairly easy-to-access manner, emulating a [[Copy Ability Room]]. This makes the stage useful for quickly returning to and getting whatever abilities are desired for other parts of the game.
