Ripple Star - Stage 4 is the final stage of Ripple Star in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. This stage pits Kirby against Miracle Matter in a roiling dark vortex. Clearing this stage either leads into the False Ending or transitions to the final level Dark Star, depending on whether or not all the Crystal Shards were collected.
Overview
Kirby faces off against Miracle Matter in a swirling dark chamber. Unlike the previous bosses, Miracle Matter is invulnerable to most attacks. It can fight in one of seven different ways, each based on one of Kirby's Copy Abilities. When it drops lingering elements, Kirby can inhale them and spit them back to deal the monster damage. Hitting it three times this way in a particular form will disable that form.
Once all of the forms are disabled, Miracle Matter explodes, relinquishing the last crystal shard for Kirby and Ribbon to collect. From here, either the False Ending plays, or Kirby moves on to the final level, Dark Star.
