It is his primary method of attacking at range, and deals a considerable amount of [[damage]] to anything vulnerable to it. | ||

Instead of swallowing, the player must then press the same button used to inhale to make Kirby spit the object back out as a star. It will travel at significant speed in a straight direction until it hits something, upon which it will shatter, pass through, or be deflected, based on the power of the star, and the nature of the thing it hits. | ||

Anything that can be inhaled can be used as a star projectile, even Kirby's friends in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. The trajectory of the star can be influenced by some environmental hazards or by hitting enemies at a certain angle, though this is a rare occurrence. Star bullets are also useful for clearing away blockades and hitting switches at a distance. | ||
