[[Kirby]]'s '''Starship''' is used in the [[Galactic Nova|Nova]] stage in the [[Milky Way Wishes]] stage of ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]]. Originally known as the '''Shooting''' ability, the Starship forms when the star seals from each star Kirby has visited, which he had also used to summon [[Galactic Nova]], combine, allowing Kirby to chase down Galactic Nova as he tries to grant [[Marx|Marx's]] wish to control [[Pop Star]]. While riding the Starship, Kirby is capable of rapidly firing stars at his opponent and flying at impressive speeds. However, the Starship is not capable of flying through enemies but rather is much better at evading them and bombarding them with star-like projectiles. In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', the Starship is also used to fight [[Kabula]], [[King Dedede]]'s airship guardian.

This article is about the Last Battle Ability from Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra. For Kirby's spaceship in the anime series, see Kirby's Starship.

Kirby's Starship is used in the Nova stage in the Milky Way Wishes stage of Kirby Super Star and its remake. Originally known as the Shooting ability, the Starship forms by combining the seven stars from each planet Kirby has visited, allowing Kirby to chase down Galactic Nova as he tries to grant Marx's wish to control Pop Star. In this manner, the Starship is considered a Last Battle Ability akin to the Star Rod. It resembles a winged chariot with a star on its front and sides.

While riding the Starship, Kirby is capable of rapidly firing stars at his opponent and flying at impressive speeds. However, the Starship is not capable of flying through enemies but rather is much better at evading them and bombarding them with star-like projectiles. In Kirby Super Star Ultra, the Starship is also used to fight Kabula, King Dedede's airship guardian; this time, the Starship is summoned by the three Sparkling Stars Kirby collected in previous stages.

In co-op mode, a unique Starship-based character appears as player 2's character. It somewhat resembles a bird with glossy blue eyes and a "beak", as well as exhaust pipes emerging from its back, but still retains the star-shaped design of Kirby's Starship. It controls identically to Kirby and is considered a Helper, but cannot be summoned outside of co-op mode.

In Kirby's Epic Yarn, the Starship is referenced by the similar Metamortex transformation called the Star Shooter.

In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, one of the unique Keychains resembles the in-game sprite of Starship Kirby from Kirby Super Star. This keychain can be found in Lollipop Land - Stage 1.
