The Star Rod is an important item and an ability in Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Nightmare in Dream Land. It also had a cameo in Kirby Super Star, and is even an item in the Super Smash Bros. series. The Star Rod appears to be a white rod encircled by red stripes with a glowing star on the tip. It fires smaller stars to attack.

Kirby's Adventure / Nightmare in Dream Land

Kirby's Adventure and its remake are the most important appearances of the star rod. In these games, it powers the Fountain of Dreams granting the power of dreams to Dream Land, but was stolen by King Dedede and broken into seven different pieces in the game's story. After going through seven levels and defeating six bosses, Kirby faces King Dedede. However, once the king is defeated and the Star Rod is restored to the Fountain, Kirby finds out that Dedede was trying to hide the Star Rod from the Nightmare. King Dedede then swallows up Kirby and sends him to face off against the Nightmare, using the Star Rod ability, which allows him to fire stars at Nightmare.

At the end of each level in Milky Way Wishes, as well as in the opening cut-scene, the Star Rod can be seen in the background.

Super Smash Bros. series

In the Super Smash Bros. series, the Star Rod appears as an item players can use in battle. Here, it can be used either to hit the opponent directly, or to shoot stars at the opponent. In contrast to the item's infinite power in the Kirby games, the Star Rod only has enough power in it to fire 16 stars. After all 16 stars are used, the item can still be used to strike opponents, but will no longer fire stars. Also, when the item is used by Captain Falcon, the Star Rod will fire 5 stars at once, and if used by Sheik, it will fire 2.
