(→{{KSS KFP}} / Kirby Super Star Ultra: Not sure why all that extraneous stuff about the plot for Milky Way Wishes was there. Also, it was kind of badly written, so I replaced it with something else.) |

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|{{KSS KFP}}]]''. 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.

Pop Star is the | Pop Star is the colorful first world encountered by [[Kirby]] and [[Ribbon]] during their mission to relinquish their realm from [[Dark Matter (cloud)|Dark Matter]] in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. As Kirby's home planet, Pop Star is relatively far from the grasp of Dark Matter, however, the popular, and familiar tree-boss, [[Whispy Woods]] seems to be one of the only beings in the realm to be influenced severely by such dark forces. This region is known for its seasonal variety and its beautiful landscape, boasting a vivid autumn-like stage, and a grand castle (most likely Dedede's) that Kirby must infiltrate in his search for [[Crystal Shard]]s. | ||
Like in all worlds of ''The Crystal Shards'', the first three stages within the Pop Star hide three Crystal Shards, while the final stage rewards only one after the defeat of the boss. Nevertheless, all shards within one level need not to be collected before Kirby is granted access to the next; Kirby must simply complete the level. | Like in all worlds of ''The Crystal Shards'', the first three stages within the Pop Star hide three Crystal Shards, while the final stage rewards only one after the defeat of the boss.
