-The '''Star Rod''' is the power source to the [[Fountain of Dreams]]. Its first and main appearance is in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. It is the first [[Last Battle Ability]] of the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series. It is a white rod encircled by magenta stripes with a glowing star on the tip. The Star Rod fires smaller stars to attack. According to the manual for ''Kirby's Adventure'', the star on the tip of the Star Rod is said to be a star fragment that landed in [[Dream Land]] in the distant past.
+The '''Star Rod''' is a magical scepter that serves as the symbol of [[Dream Land]] and acts as the heart of the [[Fountain of Dreams]], supplying it with the power to send pleasant and peaceful dreams to all of the residents of the kingdom. According to legend, the large glowing star that forms the tip was a fragment from a star that had fallen into Dream Land long ago, and the Star Rod itself created the Fountain of Dreams.<ref>''Kirby's Adventure'' Instruction Booklet (NA print), page 6</ref> When [[King Dedede]] shatters the Star Rod into seven pieces, the fountain ceases to function, and it becomes [[Kirby]]'s task to gather all the pieces from King Dedede's [[boss|friends]] and put it back together again. Once the restored Star Rod is in Kirby's hands, he can swing it to fire [[Star Bullet]]s at rapid pace or strike close-up with a spinning jump attack; both of which he uses to battle and defeat [[Nightmare]].
+The Star Rod made its first and most significant appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', where its seven scattered pieces need to be collected from each [[level]] boss in the game before it can be reassembled for Level 8: [[The Fountain of Dreams (level)|The Fountain of Dreams]], where it is then used as the [[Last Battle Ability]] against Nightmare. Since then, its subsequent appearances in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] (outside of the [[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|remake]] of ''Kirby's Adventure'') have been little more than references and cameo appearances. Aside from this, the Star Rod appears as an [[item]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] and also appears in the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', where it is used to defeat [[Nightmare (anime character)|eNeMeE]].
