'''Ripple Star''' is the rainbow-colored sixth world encountered by [[Kirby]] and [[Ribbon]] while on their mission to rid their realm of [[Dark Matter]] in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. It is where the [[Fairy|fairies]] live. The similarities between this level and [[Pop Star (level)|Pop Star]] are endless, incorporating the kid-friendly coloration and easy-going atmosphere seen so familiarly on the world of Pop Star. As this is the final regular level of the game and the last which Dark Matter plagues (assuming Kirby does not collect all of the [[Crystal Shard]]s from the other levels), the final boss of the game, [[Miracle Matter]], is located here. Once Miracle Matter is defeated, Dark Matter will leave Ripple Star, and by extension, the rest of Pop Star's system, to never return. However, if Kirby has collected all of the Crystal Shards thus far in the game, Ripple Star will be the penultimate level, only before [[Dark Star]] and the ultimate showdown between Kirby and the controlling mind of Dark Matter, [[]].
'''Ripple Star''' is the rainbow-colored sixth world encountered by [[Kirby]] and [[Ribbon]] while on their mission to rid their realm of [[Dark Matter]] in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. This world is where the [[Fairy|fairies]] live, and where Dark Matter had invaded in the intro for the game. As this is the final regular level of the game and the last which Dark Matter plagues, the "final" boss of the game, [[Miracle Matter]], is located here. If Kirby had successfully located all of the [[Crystal Shards]] before defeating this boss, he will purge the remaining Dark Matter in hiding which flies off into space and forms the true final world of [[Dark Star]].


Like all worlds of ''The Crystal Shards'', the first four stages within Ripple Star hide three Crystal Shards, while the final stage rewards only one after the defeat of the boss. Unlike the previous worlds, Kirby will not be allowed to proceed to the next unless every prior [[Crystal Shard]] has been gathered. If this level is completed without them, the [[False Ending]] will play instead.
==Overview==
The similarities between this world and [[Pop Star (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|Pop Star]] are notable, as Ripple Star incorporates the same sort of vibrant col{{o}}ration and easy-going atmosphere seen so readily found on Pop Star. This is particularly evident in the fact that the first stage of both worlds look largely identical in layout, and share the same theme music. Similarities in stage structure end there, however, as the following two stages have Kirby and his team infiltrate a sewer system in order to enter the Ripple Star Palace, then work their way up to the top floor where Miracle Matter resides. Once Miracle Matter is defeated, Dark Matter will appear to leave Ripple Star, and by extension, the rest of Pop Star's system, to never return. However, the principal body of Dark Matter remains in hiding, and cannot be uncovered unless Kirby has completely reformed the crystal by collecting all of the shards.
