(Wasn't NOVA on SNES, that's just how some names were formatted in the original script (MARX, POPSTAR): it's "Nova" on the level card. Reduced "Galactic Nova" as it only appears in the remake (& possibly meant to be Galactic Comet but shortened for space).) |

Nova can be described as a giant golden pocket watch with all manner of other implements and crude modifications attached to it. The 'face' of the watch resembles a stylized cat's face with no nose. Nova is said to be capable of granting wishes, though Kirby is ultimately tasked with destroying it when it attempts to aid [[Marx]] in the domination of [[Popstar|Pop Star]]. | |||

Near the end of ''[[Meta Knightmare Ultra]]'', after [[Meta Knight]] gathers the stars, Nova appears to him by reassembling himself; his appearance shows him to have sustained damage.

Additionally, at the end of [[The True Arena]], it is revealed that after Nova (and Marx) explode, the remaining power from Nova began to build up and was absorbed by Marx, who brought back his evil soul as [[Marx Soul]]. | ||
