[[File:star.jpg|thumb|400px|Kirby fires out a copy-ability star]] Stars are objects that have varying uses within different Kirby titles. One of the most common appearances is the copy-ability star that enemies become when absorbed by [[Kirby]]. When Kirby wants to remove an ability, he will spit out the star of the enemy he absorbed (In [[Kirby 64]], he can also hold these stars above his head). In many other Kirby games, stars can be collected and, once a certain amount is reached, Kirby will obtain an extra life.
