The Sparkling Stars are magical items that are collected at the end of each level in Kirby's Dream Land. There are five of them in total - one held by each Boss - and collecting all of them allows Kirby to inflate to immense proportions.

Game appearances

Kirby's Dream Land

Screenshot from Kirby's Dream Land, after Kirby obtains all five Sparkling Stars.

In Kirby's debut title, King Dedede and his goons come down to Dream Land from Mt. Dedede and steal the Sparkling Stars from the sky - robbing its denizens of their power source[1] - as well as all of their food. Without them, the Dream Landers are unable to collect more food[2], and begin to starve, prompting Kirby to go and get them back.

At the end of each level, Kirby battles a Boss, who drops one of the stars upon defeat. After besting King Dedede, Kirby is able to collect the last one, and he uses them to turn himself into a giant hot air balloon, and carry Dedede's castle - along with the food inside - back to Dream Land. From there, it can be presumed that the stars were returned to their rightful position.

Sparkling Stars make a reappearance in Kirby Super Star (Ultra), in Spring Breeze, but this time there are only four.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble

Much like in Dream Land, the goal in this adventure is to retrieve the Sparkling Stars, which King Dedede has once again stolen. This time, there are 8 to collect, one from each area.

Kirby's Block Ball

Once again, King Dedede stole the 5 Sparkling Stars and hid them in his castle.

Kirby Super Star Ultra

In Revenge of the King, Kirby collects three Sparkling Stars from the bosses in the first three stages. When he faces off against Kabula in Mt. Dedede Sky, she shoots down his Warp Star. At this point, the three stars Kirby collected coalesce into a Starship, which Kirby can then use to battle the menacing blimp.

Kirby's Blowout Blast

A Sparkling Star makes an appearance after King Dedede is defeated. It flies down toward where he landed, and causes him to grow giant, then start attacking Kirby again. The star's effect wears off when Dedede is defeated again.

Trivia

  • The Sparkling Stars' use in Kirby's Blowout Blast makes it similar to the Grand Stars from Super Mario Galaxy 2, as both cause the villains who use them to grow giant.
