In each regular stage, of which there are three or four per planet, three Crystal Shards are hidden. These fragments are often strategically placed so that Kirby must overexert himself physically (i.e. by floating and extended breath-holding) or in terms of busting down walls, blocks, etc. with different copy ability combinations in order to reach these treasures.

These fragments are often strategically placed so that Kirby must overexert himself physically (i.e. by floating and extended breath-holding) or in terms of busting down walls, blocks, etc. with different copy ability combinations in order to reach these treasures. While the final boss of a certain planet reveals one Crystal Shard upon defeat, many of the mini-bosses in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' yield a crystal piece in the same manner. In the case that Kirby has already obtained a certain Crystal Shard within a stage, a large Blue [[Point Star|Star]] will take its place, rewarding Kirby with the equivalent of 10 Stars, placing him well on his way to achieving a [[1-Up]], if it is collected. | ||
The number of Crystal Shards Kirby possesses by the time he reaches the boss of the Ripple Star, [[Miracle Matter]], determines whether or not he will be able to face the final boss, [[0²]], and rid the entire realm of Dark Matter. To face 0², all 74 shards (including the one [[Ribbon]] managed to keep and the one [[Kirby]] found after she landed on his head) must be found across the realm, and rightly so, as the shards themselves are the [[Ribbon's Crystal|sole weapon]] used to send 0² and Dark Matter back to the depths of space. | The number of Crystal Shards Kirby possesses by the time he reaches the boss of the Ripple Star, [[Miracle Matter]], determines whether or not he will be able to face the final boss, [[0²]], and rid the entire realm of Dark Matter.
