The term Star refers to many different entities within the Kirby series. As such, stars take on many different forms and functions. The term is most commonly used to refer to the Star Bullets that Kirby spits out at his enemies.

List of Stars

  • Ability Stars are star-shaped objects that contain the essence of a Copy Ability. They often fall out of Kirby when he is hit by a strong attack or can be discarded at will.
  • Assist Stars are star-shaped bubbles that hold Food items, which can be stored for later use.
  • Heart Stars are collectible items from Kirby's Dream Land 3 which are obtained from various denizens of Pop Star in gratitude for tasks that Kirby can perform in each stage. Collecting them is necessary to obtain the true ending of the game.
  • Mr. Star is a character from Kirby's Super Star Stacker who is blasted into pieces by King Dedede. Kirby helps him put himself back together again by collecting the pieces from various foes.
  • Point Stars are collectible stars that take on various forms throughout the series. Collecting enough of them will net Kirby a 1-Up.
  • Pop Star is Kirby's star-shaped home world. Other planets are often referred to as 'stars' as well.
  • Recoil Stars are stars that appear after Bosses and Mid-Bosses perform certain attacks, which Kirby can inhale and spit back at them.
  • Secondary characters can jump to Kirby's location using a Space Jump, which temporarily transforms them into a star.
  • Sparkling Stars are objects that provide light and energy to Dream Land. King Dedede once stole them, prompting Kirby to go get them back.
  • Star Blocks are a regular occurrence in Kirby games and can be smashed or inhaled.
  • Star Bullets are Kirby's primary means of attack when he has no Copy Ability.
  • Star Dream is an ancient computer once appropriated by the Haltmann Works Company to fuel their operations.
  • The Starship is a flying spacecraft that Kirby uses to battle the Galactic NOVA.
  • The Star Rod is a weapon that allows Kirby to fire star-shaped projectiles at Nightmare.
  • The term Star Warrior is used in the anime to refer to a specific order of warriors who keep the peace in the universe - Kirby and Meta Knight being the most noteworthy examples.
  • The Triple Star Cane allows Kirby to fire up to three star-shaped projectiles outward, which will then return to him.
  • The Warp Star is a regularly occurring star that allows Kirby to travel great distances by riding it.
    • Similarly, other such vehicles, like the ones in Kirby Air Ride, are often referred to as 'Stars'.

And finally, there are a great deal of background stars, as one might expect, in the night sky in various places. There are also places where Kirby walks on stars, such as the eternal planet Halfmoon. Stars are also used as a decorative motif on all sorts of structures in the series.
