There are severalMoons in theKirby series, and more than one hang aroundPopstar at any given moment.[1] Aside from being typical astral bodies, the various moons serve as either backdrops, or locations thatKirby and other characters visit.

Notable Moons[edit]

  • Mr. Shine is a moon, but also jumps down to the ground to fight Kirby alongside Mr. Bright, who acts as the Sun. Kirby fights these two menaces in several games in the series.
  • A large moon serves as the battleground where Kirby fightsNightmare at the end ofKirby's Adventure andKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. After this fight concludes, a large part of the moon is destroyed, making it permanently crescent-shaped. This moon also makes a notable appearance in the opening cutscene ofKirby: Triple Deluxe.[1]
  • During the events of Milky Way Wishes, Kirby has to stop the Sun and Moon from fighting.
    • Also in Milky Way Wishes, Kirby visits a planet calledHalfmoon. Technically, it is not a moon, but it is named as such.
  • A large, full moon can be seen hanging in the sky ofPopstar at various times. Its most striking appearance is in the background during the fight withQueen Sectonia inKirby: Triple Deluxe.[1] A similar moon can also be seen in the sky in the opening stages ofKirby's Return to Dream Land andKirby: Planet Robobot.

Moon Stages inKirby Star Allies[edit]

Each major planet inFar-Flung Starlight Heroes has a moon which can be visited after the host planet is cleared. Each moon has aBoss residing on it, who must be fought to clear the way toJambandra. These moons are as follows:

Minor Moons[edit]

  • There are several small crescent moons that hang about in the background of various stages, first appearing inBubbly Clouds. Sometimes, Kirby can use them as asecretdoorway.
  • Shiver Star has a moon which closely resembles Earth's.
  • The second area ofSpectacle Space takes place around a waning crescent moon-like structure.

  1. ↑1.01.11.2"There are several moons which can be observed on Kirby's home planet of Popstar. For example, there's a sun and moon duo known to cycle so aggressively you wouldn't know if it was day or night, and a moon that in a previous story got smashed into the shape of a crescent. In the opening cut-scene of this game, when a shooting star trails across the sky, the moon that can be seen above Kirby's house is that crescent moon.

    In this game, it is a different moon that can be seen during the final battle, but the fact both a moon and finally a sun appear in this symbolic battle scene illustrates how important stars and celestial bodies are to the game's imagery.    " –Shinya Kumazaki (Miiverse)
