Starman is an uncommon enemy who first appeared in Kirby's Adventure. He is best described as a bulbous yellow star-shaped creature with no face, a head that splits in two, and a gem-inset cape. His typical behavior involves walking around casually on the ground and jumping upwards at random times. He will also occasionally fly around horizontally with his arms out in front. This makes him similar to a stereotypical flying superhero.

Starmen are mostly found in areas which involve long vertical passages, as well as appearing during the battles with Kracko and Mecha-Kracko. When Kirby inhales a Starman, he receives the Hi-Jump Copy Ability, and is the only source in the series for said ability outside of a Mix or Copy Essence. Unlike many other enemies, Starmen do not seem to react differently when Kirby is nearby.
