| “ | Hyness did not fully grasp how to completely break the seal. All that was written about Void Termina in the ancient scrolls was the progenitor of darkness was vanquished by four heroes of yore, using four spears of the heart. After that, they were never seen again. | ” | — VS Hyness (Phase 1) in The Ultimate Choice |
The spears of the heart are four magical relics which were used in ancient times by four heroes of yore to seal Void Termina inside the Jamba Heart prior to the events of Kirby Star Allies. These spears can be seen embedded in the heart in the opening cutscene for the Story Mode of that game, and are removed by Hyness using a ritual in order to free his dark god, but in the process, the heart is shattered. The spears return later in the game after Kirby and company defeat Hyness, and imbue themselves into the team's Friend Star to transform it into the Star Allies Sparkler, with which they can battle and defeat Void Termina.
In Heroes in Another Dimension, Kirby and company collect each of the spears from the parallel bosses at the end of the first four dimensions. In the final dimension, these spears are used to shatter the Jamba Heart in order to release Corrupt Hyness so that he can be battled and defeated.
