A '''Star Bullet''' (otherwise known as a '''Spit Star''', '''Spitting Star''', '''Exhaled Star''' or just '''Star''' in shorthand) is a glowing star-shaped projectile that [[Kirby]] can spit out after [[inhale|inhaling]] an enemy or object (notably the [[Recoil Star]] left by [[boss]]es). It is his primary method of attacking at range, and deals a considerable amount of [[damage]] to anything vulnerable to it. | |||

Instead of swallowing, {{realMe}} 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]]''. The trajectory of the star can be influenced by some environmental hazards, though this is a rare occurrence. Star bullets are also useful for clearing away blockades and hitting switches at a distance. | ||
