Aqua Star is the oceanic third level encountered by Kirby and his sidekick, Ribbon, during their mission to dispel Dark Matter from their realm in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Physically, the planet is encompassed in water, even the small inner core, an appearance backed up by the five water-logged stages that make up the topography of Aqua Star. With regions ranging from beaches to raging rivers, and from subterranean caves to islands. Kirby must navigate the aqueous landscape in order to make it to the lair of Acro, the killer whale-like boss of the level at the last stage.

Like in all levels of The Crystal Shards, the first four stages within Aqua 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.

Stages

Each stage is unlocked in succession after clearing the previous one. Defeating Acro is necessary to move on to Neo Star. For more information about a particular stage, click on the link to the stage's page in the table. For a full guide on how to obtain the Crystal Shards, see the Crystal Shard page.

Boss: Acro

Kirby faces off against Acro.

The final stage of Aqua Star is the battle with the killer whale-like boss, Acro. This battle takes place in two phases. The first has Kirby facing off against the killer whale in a static underwater chamber. Acro attacks by doing body slams and spitting out projectiles. Kirby can take advantage of both of these by inhaling the Recoil Stars and projectiles that Acro generates to hurt it.

Once Acro loses its first bar of Vitality, the battle changes into an auto-scrolling battle going up. From here, Acro attacks from above and below, by doing charges and spitting Pedos at Kirby. Much like before, Kirby can retaliate by inhaling these and spitting them back. Once Acro is defeated in this phase, it falls down the chute and crashes, leaving Kirby to collect the last crystal shard of the level.

Ending Cut-scene

Kirby and the rest are sitting on a beach overlooking the ocean. Adeleine starts tossing stones out into the water, prompting the rest to do the same. Kirby picks up a stone and starts winding up his toss, with his eyes closed. As this happens the rest of the group spots a huge tidal wave coming and runs off. Kirby casts the stone just as the wave engulfs him. When Kirby comes to, he sees the rest of his party going through the portal to the next world - Neo Star. He rushes to join them and gets in just before the portal closes.
