I directly deleted the "Drop stars can come in several sizes, with the larger ones dealing more damage." thing because it is supposed that the damage form Kirby star bullets depends on how many objects Kirby inhaled and if he is dashing or not, and not of how big the object is, as seen here. Though well, inhaling large enemies often gives a blaster bullet instead of an star bullet, but I have seen that both sizes of Drop Stars count as the same thing.

A '''Drop Star'''{{DataTitle}}<ref>Taken from internal name "DropStar", from ''Kirby Star Allies''</ref> (often just referred to as a '''Star''') is an object that appears in several games in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'']] series. It resembles a small [[Warp Star]], or a stationary [[Star Bullet]], and serves as the primary means for Kirby to attack a [[Boss]] or [[Mid-Boss]] without the help of a [[Copy Ability]]. | A '''Drop Star'''{{DataTitle}}<ref>Taken from internal name "DropStar", from ''Kirby Star Allies'' and the Demo of ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''.</ref> (often just referred to as a '''Star''') is an object that appears in several games in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'']] series.

Drop stars were first seen in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', and have since reappeared in every main series ''Kirby'' title. They appear whenever a [[Boss]] or [[Mid-Boss]] performs an attack that makes hard contact with a surface - usually a floor - or may appear after a strong energy-based attack is executed. The most famous example of this is when [[King Dedede]] uses his [[Super Dedede Jump]] attack, which causes a drop star to appear on each side of him when he lands. | Drop stars were first seen in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', and have since reappeared in every main series ''Kirby'' title.

Once they've appeared, drop stars only last a few seconds at most before disappearing. Kirby has that time to [[inhale]] them, and spit them back out as Star Bullets to do damage to his opponent (swallowing them often does nothing) | Once they've appeared, drop stars only last a few seconds at most before disappearing. Kirby has that time to [[inhale]] them, and spit them back out as Star Bullets to do damage to his opponent (swallowing them often does nothing). They are especially potent if Kirby inhales multiple stars at once before spitting them back out. | ||
Starting with ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', some bosses drop smaller Drop Stars, referred to as '''Mini Drop Stars'''<ref>Taken from internal name "DropStarMini", from ''Kirby Star Allies''.</ref> which disappear faster than their normal counterparts, but otherwise serve the same function. | |||
Drop stars may also appear in mid-air, where they will either stay afloat, or immediately fall to the ground, depending on the Boss being fought. In most titles, drop stars do not do damage to Kirby if he touches them, nor do they hinder him in any way. | Drop stars may also appear in mid-air, where they will either stay afloat, or immediately fall to the ground, depending on the Boss being fought.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onwards, King Dedede can make two drop stars appear whenever he lands his [[smashwiki:Super Dedede Jump|Super Dedede Jump]] recovery move. Unlike in the ''Kirby'' series, these stars cannot be used against Dedede (unless somehow they are reflected), and will deal minor damage and knockback to any enemy fighter who touches them. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Yoshi can cause stars similar to Drop Stars to appear when he does his [[smashwiki:Yoshi Bomb|Yoshi Bomb]] attack, with much the same effect, despite not being a ''Kirby'' series character. | Yoshi can cause stars similar to Drop Stars to appear when he does his [[smashwiki:Yoshi Bomb|Yoshi Bomb]] attack, with much the same effect as King Dedede's Drop Stars, despite Yoshi not being a ''Kirby'' series character. | ||
