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. 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 Shard 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.

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 second shard can be found in a room with a bunch of switches. In the prior room, [[Adeleine]] can be seen overlooking some dark portraits, which Kirby can illuminate using [[Bomb-Spark]]. This will give him the hint he needs to press the right sequence of switches by [[Crouch|ducking]] on them (note that the solution is randomized each time the stage is started). Doing so will cause the shard to appear.

|The second shard appears in the middle of a large array of [[Star Block]]s. To make this happen, Kirby has to shape the array into the correct shape, by removing blocks where appropriate. The clue as to the proper shape will be given by Adeleine in the previous area (the correct shape and clue are different each time the stage is played).

*Unlike many other collectibles in ''Kirby'' games, once a Crystal Shard is collected, it will remain collected, even if the player quits the stage or Kirby is defeated before completing it.
