'''''Kirby Super Star''''', known as '''''Kirby's Fun Pak''''' in European languages and | '''''Kirby Super Star''''', occasionally known as '''''Kirby's Fun Pak''''' in European languages and code-named '''''Kirby Active''''' during development, is a main-series [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' game]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] that was developed by [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. Unlike other games in the series, it is notable for not following a single storyline, but instead consisting of six different main games, one extra game in the form of a boss endurance mode, and two sub games, each with its own scenario and gameplay elements. | ||
''Kirby Super Star'' is often considered by fans to be the most important game in the ''Kirby'' series, as it defined several of the series' most enduring tropes, and its legacy stretches through most if not all subsequent games in the series. ''Kirby Super Star'' introduced the idea of giving (nearly) every [[Copy Ability]] a distinct hat and an expanded move-set which relies on specific controller inputs like in traditional fighting games. It also introduced several recurring characters (such as [[Dyna Blade]], [[Chef Kawasaki]], and [[Marx]]), several recurring abilities (such as [[Wing]], [[Fighter]], and [[Yo-Yo]]), and several recurring musical themes (such as the [[Gourmet Race (theme)|Gourmet Race theme]], the full versions of the [[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens theme]] and [[King Dedede's Theme]], and the [[Boarding the Halberd|two]] [[Havoc Aboard the Halberd|themes]] associated with the [[Halberd]]), among other ideas. It was also the first main series ''Kirby'' game to feature [[multiplayer]], allowing a second player to take control of a [[Helper]] that Kirby can call to his side by sacrificing a Copy Ability. | ''Kirby Super Star'' is often considered by fans to be the most important game in the ''Kirby'' series, as it defined several of the series' most enduring tropes, and its legacy stretches through most if not all subsequent games in the series.
