In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Nova is also known as Galactic Nova and retains its role in Milky Way Wishes. It also appears at the end of [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]]. After [[Meta Knight]] gathers the stars, Nova appears to him by reassembling itself, though it retains visible damage from its earlier appearance. Meta Knight then wishes to fight the greatest warrior in the galaxy. In compliance, Nova summons [[Galacta Knight]], a warrior so powerful he was sealed away due to his immense power being a threat. After Galacta Knight is defeated, he is seen exploding in the final cutscene as a parallel to Nova's explosion in Milky Way Wishes, using the same music, "[[Kirby's Triumphant Return]]". Additionally, at the end of [[The True Arena]], it is shown that after Nova exploded in Milky Way Wishes, the remaining power from Nova began to build up and was absorbed by Marx, who was thus able to return as [[Marx Soul]]. It is worth noting that neither of these additional appearances are indicated to be [[canon]]. | In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Nova is also known as Galactic Nova and retains its role in Milky Way Wishes.

Marx Soul's [[Pause|pause screen]] description refers to Galactic Nova as "a nova". | Notably, Marx Soul's [[Pause|pause screen]] description refers to Galactic Nova as "a nova". This may suggest that there are more than one of Nova's kind, an idea which is further alluded to in other installments of the series. | ||

*Galactic Nova's official artwork for ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' reflects its damaged state in Meta Knightmare Ultra rather than its usual look. This can be seen by how its right eye is open wider than its left, and how the gear near the top of its head is fully exposed. | |||
*In ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', there is an unused stage splash screen with Galactic Nova from a ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' cutscene and the Japanese caption 「画像がありませぬ」 ("No image found").<ref>Jermungandr.
