Aqua Star - Stage 5 is the final stage of Aqua Star in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. This stage pits Kirby against Acro, who is battled underwater in two different phases; the first taking place in a large but unchanging arena, and the second taking place while moving up a vertical column. Clearing this stage allows Kirby to access the next level, Neo Star.
Overview
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, including Fishbones. Kirby can take advantage of both of these by inhaling the Recoil Stars and objects that Acro generates to hurt it.
Once Acro loses its first bar of stamina, 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 and proceed to Neo Star.
