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.<br><br>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. | |||
