''' | Planet '''Popstar''' ('''Pop Star''' in older games) is the yellow star-shaped iconic home world of [[Kirby]] and his closest friends in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It is known throughout the ''Kirby'' universe and even outside the series; its cartoon-like ringed appearance first popularized in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. Its brightly-colored, surreal, and vibrant landscapes also make it a well-represented Nintendo locale, akin to [[zw:Hyrule|Hyrule]] in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series and the [[mariowiki:Mushroom Kingdom|Mushroom Kingdom]] in the ''Super Mario'' series. | ||
Though not always explicitly mentioned through the series, nearly every ''Kirby'' game takes place on Planet Popstar's surface, whether that be in the oft-seen kingdom of [[Dream Land]] or somewhere else in the surrounding countryside, seas, or skies. When viewed from outer space, Popstar does not appear to have any landmarks (with an often rough and cratered yellow surface), but when looking closer toward the ground, it takes on Earth-like continents, islands, and oceans, though the landmasses are often star-shaped. Due to its natural beauty and energy, Popstar is frequently the target of villainous alien invaders, who Kirby and his friends must fight off time and again. The closest that Popstar ever came to full subjugation was in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', when [[Dark Matter]] enveloped the world, and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', when the world was briefly infested by the machinery of the [[Haltmann Works Company]]. In both instances, the planet was able to quickly restore itself after the respective villains were defeated. | Though not always explicitly mentioned through the series, nearly every ''Kirby'' game takes place on Planet Popstar's surface, whether that be in the oft-seen kingdom of [[Dream Land]] or somewhere else in the surrounding countryside, seas, or skies.

Popstar is a somewhat flat yellow star-shaped planet with two ([[Kirby's Dream Land 3|sometimes more]]) rings orbiting it. It gives off a very strong light from outer space (and is stated to be the brightest star in the universe in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]''), though on the surface, it looks much more earth-like and has a regular day-night cycle ([[Milky Way Wishes|usually]]). While not usually visible in outer space, Popstar has at least one Sun and [[Moon]] in its orbit, the latter of which can be visited with relative ease. | Popstar is a somewhat flat yellow star-shaped planet with two ([[Kirby's Dream Land 3|sometimes more]]) rings orbiting it.

Popstar occasionally sees changes to its topology over the course of the series. The most notable of these changes is the permanent addition of the [[Dreamstalk]] connecting Dream Land to Floralia after the events of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', though this is not visible from space. Smaller changes include the planet's temporary clay-like appearance in ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'', its rings changing from solid rays to twinkling particles in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', and its surface gaining a rocky, moon-like texture in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. | Popstar occasionally sees changes to its topology over the course of the series.

So far in the ''Kirby'' series, there have been seven games that explicitly show [[World Map|world maps]] that stretch across the surface of Popstar: those being ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]'', ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' (though that last example is merely a [[level hub]]).

Planet Popstar reappears in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', as the site where the [[Lor Starcutter]] (under [[Magolor]]'s possession) crashes in the opening cutscenes of the game. Popstar constitutes the majority of the early and middle stages of game play, and is the planet where [[Kirby]], along with [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], [[King Dedede]], and [[Meta Knight]] must find the missing parts to the Lor Starcutter. Popstar in this game consists of the first five levels of the game: [[Cookie Country]], [[Raisin Ruins]], [[Onion Ocean]], [[White Wafers]], and [[Nutty Noon]]. The remaining two main levels are located in [[Halcandra]], what Magolor claims is his homeworld. | Planet Popstar reappears in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', as the site where the [[Lor Starcutter]] (under [[Magolor]]'s possession) crashes in the opening cutscenes of the game.

In [[Kirby: Planet Robobot|this installment]], Popstar is invaded by a spaceship (the [[Access Ark]]) roughly the same size as the planet itself, and mechanized by its robots under the command of the [[Haltmann Works Company]]. Kirby is tasked with stopping this invasion by smashing each of the legs of the ship, then boarding it to deal with its president. In the process, the ancient computer aboard the ship - [[Star Dream]] - goes berserk and takes control, forcing Kirby to battle it and the entire spaceship with the help of [[Meta Knight]] and the [[Halberd]]. Once Star Dream is defeated, all the mechanization the planet underwent is undone. | In [[Kirby: Planet Robobot|this installment]], Popstar is invaded by a spaceship (the [[Access Ark]]) roughly the same size as the planet itself, and mechanized by its robots under the command of the [[Haltmann Works Company]].

Planet Popstar is the second level of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. This level consists of five regular stages along with two unlockable extra ones. As might be expected, each stage takes place in a vastly different ecological zone, ranging from tropical beach-sides and frozen tundras to volcanic regions and ancient ruins. At the end of this level, Kirby and his [[Helper|star allies]] run into [[Meta Knight]], who has been influenced by the [[Jamba Heart|Dark Hearts]] scattered across the planet. Despite still retaining some of his decorum, he battles Kirby and his team, splitting into multiple copies of himself during the fight. | Planet Popstar is the second level of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

After Kirby defeats Fecto Elfilis using [[Big-Rig Mouth]], he and [[Elfilin]] wind up back in Dream Land, and Elfilin manages to close the portal that Elfilis opened. After this, it is revealed that Elfilin can open up a safe portal between the two planets at any time. | ||
