Editing Moon

There are several '''Moons''' in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series, and more than one hang around [[Popstar]] at any given moment.<ref name="kumazaki moons">{{cite|"There are several moons which can be observed on Kirby's home planet of Popstar. For example, there's a sun and moon duo known to cycle so aggressively you wouldn't know if it was day or night, and a moon that in a previous story got smashed into the shape of a crescent. In the opening cut-scene of this game, when a shooting star trails across the sky, the moon that can be seen above Kirby's house is that crescent moon.

In this game, it is a different moon that can be seen during the final battle, but the fact both a moon and finally a sun appear in this symbolic battle scene illustrates how important stars and celestial bodies are to the game's imagery.|[[Shinya Kumazaki]]|[[Miiverse]]}}</ref> Aside from being typical astral bodies, the various moons serve as either backdrops, or locations that [[Kirby]] and other characters visit.

==Notable Moons==
*[[Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright|Mr. Shine]] is a moon, but also jumps down to the ground to fight Kirby alongside Mr. Bright, who acts as the Sun. Kirby fights these two menaces in several games in the series.
*A large moon serves as the battleground where Kirby fights [[Nightmare]] at the end of ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. After this fight concludes, a large part of the moon is destroyed, making it permanently crescent-shaped. This moon also makes a notable appearance in the opening cutscene of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''.<ref name="kumazaki moons"/>
*During the events of Milky Way Wishes, Kirby has to stop the Sun and Moon from fighting.
**Also in Milky Way Wishes, Kirby visits a planet called [[Halfmoon]]. Technically, it is not a moon, but it is named as such.
*A large, full moon can be seen hanging in the sky of [[Popstar]] at various times. Its most striking appearance is in the background during the fight with [[Queen Sectonia]] in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''.<ref name="kumazaki moons"/> A similar moon can also be seen in the sky in the opening stages of ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''.

===Moon Stages in ''Kirby Star Allies''===
Each major planet in [[Far-Flung Starlight Heroes]] has a moon which can be visited after the host planet is cleared. Each moon has a [[Boss]] residing on it, who must be fought to clear the way to [[Jambandra]]. These moons are as follows:
*[[Falluna Moon]] - [[Whispy Woods]] & [[Yggy Woods]]
*[[Mareen Moon]] - [[Goldon & Silvox]]
*[[Grott Moon]] - [[Grand Mam]]
*[[Blizzno Moon]] - [[Francisca]]
*[[Gabbel Moon]] - [[Kracko]] & [[Twin Kracko]]
*[[Sizzlai Moon]] - [[Flamberge]]

==Minor Moons==
*There are several small crescent moons that hang about in the background of various stages, first appearing in [[Bubbly Clouds]]. Sometimes, Kirby can use them as a secret [[door]]way.
*[[Shiver Star]] has a moon which closely resembles Earth's.
*The second area of [[Spectacle Space]] takes place around a waning crescent moon-like structure.
