Hey, what's that up there? In the sky, falling fast! Oh! It looks like... Yes, it is!
— Bandana Waddle Dee talking about theWarp Star inKirby Battle Royale

AWarp Star, sometimes spelledWarpstar, is a broad yellow five-pointed star-shapedobject which can travel at high speed through the air, and acts asKirby's primary means of transportation in theKirby series.

First appearing inKirby's Dream Land, the Warp Star is a mainstay in the series. Along with theMaxim Tomato, it is one of two items that appear in everymain-seriesKirby game (though it is not always a usable object). During gameplay, Warp Stars are used to carry Kirby and/or other characters from one section of astage to another, or provide transport in-between stages orlevels. Warp Stars can also appear incutscenes, and are often paired with Kirby in promotional material andmerchandise.

Warp Stars can vary greatly in their depiction, including details regarding their shape, size, color, and the sound they produce when being ridden. How Kirby mounts a Warp Star can also vary. Typically he will grab onto the top or side of it as it is kept upright, but Kirby can also often be seen sitting or standing atop the star as it lays flat, where he then rides it like a surfboard.

Despite being ubiquitous to the series, it is still not entirely clear what a Warp Star is, where it comes from, and why it typically appears for Kirby to utilize. At least some Warp Stars can be said to have some form of sentience, since Kirby can clearly be seen motioning to his star to change course during a dangerous situation in the opening scene forKirby and the Forgotten Land.

As in-game objects[edit]

https://wikirby.com/wiki/File:KRtDL_Warp_Star.mp3
This familiar sound effect plays when Kirby hops on a Warp Star (Kirby's Return to Dream Land version).

When encountered inside a stage in a typical main-series game, a Warp Star is typically seen floating off the ground, or occasionally high up in the air. It will either spin in place or wobble back and forth while glowing and occasionally shedding energy particles which resemble smaller stars. It waits until Kirby or another playable character hops onto the star, upon which it will fly off in a pre-determined direction in a cutscene, often haphazardly, and almost always with the iconic warbling twinkling sound. When a Warp Star reaches its destination, it will crash down to the ground and shatter or otherwise dissipate, usually sending its rider flying a short distance.

While functionally no different from adoor in how it transports a playable character from one area to another, the Warp Star is meant to be a more flashy way of doing so, often involving entirely separate areas that only serve as a back-drop for the Warp Star transportation scenes. Warp Stars are also often used inWorld Maps andlevel hubs as a visual indicator of how Kirby is being transported from one area to the next.

In stages, Warp Stars can be made to appear in the same manner as other objects, often triggered by defeating enemies, pressingswitches, or simply waiting. Most of the time, however, they do not need to be triggered to appear.

Kirby's Dream Land[edit]

Kirby riding the first Warp Star inGreen Greens, inKirby's Dream Land

Warp Stars made their first appearance in Kirby's first gameKirby's Dream Land. They are mainly used to take Kirby from one section to another. Each stage in the game features at least one Warp Star, even if (in the case ofMt. Dedede) it is only used for the opening cutscene.

Kirby's Adventure /Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

InKirby's Adventure andits remake, Warp Stars are used inWarp Star Stations to transport Kirby to distantlevels, such as fromVegetable Valley toOrange Ocean. They are also found inside stages, where they transport Kirby to another part of the stage.

Locations[edit]

Warp Stars can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby's Pinball Land[edit]

InKirby's Pinball Land, Warp Stars are used to transport Kirby from one board to another. Whenever Kirby finds himself in the main warp room, he can use Warp Stars to travel to any of the main Pinball Lands. Once within those lands, Warp Stars can be found which behave in a consistent way based on which floor they are found on, as follows:

  • Lower floor - takes Kirby back to the Warp hub
  • Middle floor - takes Kirby to the bonus game of that land
  • Upper floor - takes Kirby to theboss area

In addition, a Warp Star will appear in the gutter of the main boss encounters (with the exception of King Dedede's fight) which will take Kirby back to the top floor of the main board, or back to the hub once the boss is defeated.

Kirby's Dream Course[edit]

Kirby using a Warp Star to select a course inKirby's Dream Course

InKirby's Dream Course, whenever Kirby orKeeby goes into a hole, they come out riding a Warp Star to go to the next hole. If the hole is the end of the course, the Warp Star is replaced by a Warp Star-shaped rocket ship. In addition, a Warp Star is used on the course select screen to travel between courses.

Kirby's Dream Land 2[edit]

InKirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby and hisAnimal Friends use the Warp Star to travel between theRainbow Islands. In effect, it acts as a level select for the player. Warp Stars do not appear as objects in stages themselves.

In addition, a Warp Star will appear on theGame Over screen if the player chooses to continue, with it flying in front of Kirby for him to ride.

Kirby's Block Ball[edit]

InKirby's Block Ball, the Warp Star can be found by breaking blocks on certain stage rounds. In any of the rounds prior to round 4, if Kirby collides with a Warp Star, he will be taken to the central circuit of the world map where one of the fourSub-Games can be chosen to play. In Round 4 of each stage (Round 6 in Stage 11), Kirby can proceed to the boss round when he collides with the Warp Star. Colliding with the Warp Star awards 400 points.

Kirby Super Star /Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

Kirby riding a Warp Star on its side in the opening scene forKirby Super Star

InKirby Super Star and its remakeKirby Super Star Ultra, the Warp Star serves a number of different purposes. In regular gameplay, Kirby can find a Warp Star in some stages in order to travel to new areas in a more flashy manner than entering a door. InThe Great Cave Offensive, a Warp Star is used by Kirby to escape the underground after defeatingWham Bam Rock; after then, it appears at the start of theSub-Tree area. InRevenge of Meta Knight, Kirby uses a Warp Star to approach and then attempt to board theHalberd, but is repulsed, needing to rideDyna Blade instead. InMilky Way Wishes, Kirby uses the Warp Star to travel between worlds, and combines it with the other wishing stars to summonGalactic Nova and form theStarship. In the remake-exclusiveRevenge of the King, Kirby's Warp Star is shot down byKabula as he approaches Mt. Dedede, forcing him to mount the Starship instead.

Perhaps most notably, Kirby's Warp Star appears in the opening cutscene for the game prior to the title screen. This particular scene features the first instance of Kirby riding his Warp Star by sitting atop it as it is tilted laterally, rather than clinging onto it in upright position as he normally does.

Kirby's Dream Land 3[edit]

Much like inKirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby and his allies use the Warp Star inKirby's Dream Land 3 exclusively to travel between the main areas ofPop Star. Warp Stars also appear and are used by Kirby after certain events like defeating bosses.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[edit]

While Warp Stars do not appear within the main levels ofKirby 64: The Crystal Shards, ifMiracle Matter is defeated while Kirby is in possession of allCrystal Shards, Kirby can be seen using a specialphone to call a giant Warp Star. Kirby, King Dedede, Waddle Dee,Adeleine, andRibbon all use this Warp Star to reachDark Star.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble[edit]

InKirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby rides a Warp Star to get to and from each stage. Warp Stars can also be found in other parts of the stage, taking Kirby to secret areas. If aBlue Star is collected and Kirby completes the stage with it, he will ride on a blue Warp Star instead, taking him to a menu known as theBonus Star[1] where he can play any of the fiveSub-Games.

Kirby Air Ride[edit]

Main article:Warp Star (Air Ride Machine)

The Warp Star appears as one of the standardAir Ride Machines inKirby Air Ride. It is the first machine encountered in theAir Ride mode, and serves as an introductory machine to new riders, as it boasts mainly average stats in all areas. Unlike Warp Stars in the main series, the machine is not able to fly indefinitely, and is ridden by laying it flat and sitting atop it, rather than holding onto it while upright.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[edit]

InKirby & The Amazing Mirror, Warp Stars can be called by Kirby using theCell Phone in order to take him back to theCentral Circle inRainbow Route or to one of the other Kirbys (if that Kirby is being controlled by a human player). Additionally, Warp Stars can be found in areas which will take Kirby and his clones to new lands. Rooms that contain Warp Stars are marked on the level maps with stars. When Kirby hops on one of these stars, it will wait several moments before taking him away, in order to give time for any other Kirbys present to hop on as well if they so choose. The destination of these stars is almost always in another area entirely (the only exception being the one inCandy Constellation).

Warp Stars are also used in theGoal Game, where Kirby can steer it towards items like1-Ups andFood while dodging obstacles along the way. They are also used in the final phase againstDark Mind, to shoot star projectiles back at the evil eye.

Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]

InKirby: Squeak Squad, the Warp Star can occasionally be found in stages, and acts much the same as in previous main series titles. The Warp Star also makes an appearance in a few of the game's cutscenes.

Kirby Mass Attack[edit]

InKirby Mass Attack, the Warp Star is used to transport the Mini-Kirbys between thePopopo Islands, and also features in a few cutscenes.

Warp Stars also appear as gameplay elements in theKirby Brawlball Sub-Game, where touching one will take Kirby to a bonus area.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land /Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

A Warp Star inKirby's Return to Dream Land

Warp Stars serve as the primary means of transportation between levels in the World Maps ofKirby's Return to Dream Land. Additionally, they occasionally appear in the stages themselves to take Kirby and his friends to a new location, much like they did in the older games.

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition[edit]

In the introductory title movie, Kirby inhales a Warp Star to update him and his friends to their then modern appearances. Additionally, in theNew Challenge Stages Sub-Game, Warp Stars with numbers painted on them take Kirby to the various levels of the game. Warp Stars also feature in the classic games, as outlined above, and in the episodesKirby Comes to Cappy Town andWaddle While You Work fromKirby: Right Back at Ya! as contained within the game's extra features.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

InKirby: Triple Deluxe, Warp Stars occasionally appear to take Kirby, orKing Dedede to new locations, like previous games. A variant known as a3D Warp Star appears as well, which transports Kirby between the foreground and background in stages.

A "Warpstar" also appears as one of the game'skeychains, depicted insprite form with Kirby riding on it fromKirby's Dream Land.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

InKirby: Planet Robobot, Warp Stars and 3D Warp Stars occasionally appear to take Kirby orMeta Knight to new locations in stages much like inKirby: Triple Deluxe. They also are used to travel between levels in the World Map.

Kirby's Blowout Blast[edit]

InKirby's Blowout Blast, Warp Stars are used to take Kirby to the various stages of the game. The Warp Stars which take Kirby to extra stages are blue, and the one that takes him to theSecret Path is purple.

Kirby Battle Royale[edit]

In the intro toDedede's Cake Royale inKirby Battle Royale, a Warp Star appears after Kirby andBandana Waddle Dee defeat aBlue Kirby in the woods. The Warp Star takes both to the Cake Royale stadium.

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

InKirby Star Allies, while Warp Stars do not appear in any capacity in the stages themselves, they do appear in the level hubs, and in the world maps forWorld of Miracles: Planet Popstar andFar-Flung Starlight Heroes as the means of selection of stages. A Warp Star also appears in the ending cutscene to take Kirby and his friends home after defeatingthe final boss of Story Mode, as well as serving the same purpose after defeatingthe final bosses ofHeroes in Another Dimension.

TheFriend Star is similar in some respects to a Warp Star, but is fully controllable and allows Kirby and his allies to fire projectiles.

Super Kirby Clash[edit]

While not formally appearing inSuper Kirby Clash, Warp Stars are depicted on two of the collectiblestickers in the game.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land /Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World[edit]

A "Retry" Warp Star fromKirby and the Forgotten Land.

Warp Stars return inKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition, serving the same purpose as usual. The 3D space allows them to take more elaborate flight paths than before. A Warp Star is also used to navigate theWorld Map.

In addition to normal yellow Warp Stars, there are also two new colors. Red Warp Stars reappear after being ridden, much like round-tripdoors, and can take Kirby to side areas and back. Blue Warp Stars come with a text prompt that says "Retry", and can be used to head back to previous areas to try a particular section again, typically aMouthful Mode section. Using a blue Warp Star will also reset any mission progress made during the relevant section.

A Warp Star also appears as one of the game's collectiblefigures, within Vol. 1. Its figure lacks a description.Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World has another figure of the Warp Star in Vol. 1 EX, which features 11Waddle Dees riding it and is named "Wa-wa Wa-wa Warp Star MAX!"

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

The Warp Star does not appear directly inKirby's Dream Buffet, but it is depicted on a handful ofCharacter Treats.

Kirby Air Riders[edit]

TheWarp StarAir Ride Machine fromKirby Air Ride returns inKirby Air Riders. Regular Warp Stars are also depicted onLicense icons, themes, and stickers.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Sends you shooting up, then back down for a devastating attack. Aim your landing with left or right and adjust the timing with up or down.
— In-game description for the Warp Star fromSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate

In theSuper Smash Bros. series, the Warp Star is a usable item which a character can use to glide up in the sky, land on the ground shortly after, and create a large explosion to deal heavy damage to opponents. Its landing site can be moved slightly while in the sky by steering left or right, though this can result in going off-stage and self-destructing if the rider is not careful. The impact can be delayed or sped up by holding the shield or attack button, or holding up or down on the Control Stick.

Warp Stars also feature heavily in many cinematic sequences that involve Kirby, and, in every game aside fromSuper Smash Bros. Melee, Kirby enters the battlefield by riding in on a Warp Star.

The Warp Star also appears as an Advanced-levelsupport spirit inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. When equipped, it allows the player's fighter to start the battle with aSuper Launch Star in hand.

InKirby: Right Back at Ya![edit]

Image of the Warp Star inTiff's hand from the anime

The Warp Star serves a special purpose inthe anime series. It specifically belongs toKirby, and was originally kept inside a small case similar to a piece of jewelry; able to increase drastically in size when needed. However, due to Kirby's general negligence and the ease of such an item being stolen, it was placed insideKabu's sanctuary for safekeeping until called upon byTiff during times of need. When called, it will fly off toward Kirby, allowing him to mount it and gain an advantage from the air, returning to Kabu when it is no longer needed.

Meta Knight explains to Tiff that the Warp Star is the source of Kirby's power, and can rejuvenate him when he sees it. An early example of this happening is in the episodeKirby Comes to Cappy Town, where, upon seeing the Warp Star, Kirby regains his healthy pink hue after being injured byOctacon. The Warp Star will come whenever someone who truly cares for Kirby calls for it; with that specific person in the show being Tiff.

InAir-Ride-in-Style - Part I, it is shown that the Warp Star can take damage if hit hard enough. In this event, Kirby can take the Warp Star back to Kabu's sanctuary, where it can be slowly repaired if placed inside its pedestal. While it is damaged, it will flash green on a regular basis.

InFright to the Finish, Kirby swallows his Warp Star in order to gain theStar RodCopy Ability and defeateNeMeE.

In theKirby novel series[edit]

Kirby and friends riding the Warp Star inKirby Star Allies: The Great Friend Adventure!

In theKirby novel series, the Warp Star is a device that only comes toKirby in times of crisis. It is usually sleeping somewhere nearby, but it will come to Kirby if he calls for it, allowing him to ride it at incredible speeds. The Warp Star is first introduced inKirby Star Allies: The Great Friend Adventure!.

The Warp Star appears inKirby: Uproar at the Kirby Café?! after Kirby calls it when he andKing Dedede hurry for the cooking competition, and they fly back on it.

In bothKirby: Having a Blast at the Music Festival! andKirby: The Dream Onsen is a Good Hot Spring♪, a basket is attached with a rope to the Warp Star, in order to carry more passengers by having them ride in the basket.

TheAir Ride Machine version of theWarp Star also appears inKirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!, where it is portrayed differently.

Although the Warp Star never appears inKirby and the Search for the Dreamy Gears!, Kirby's airplane is named after it.

Trivia[edit]

The creator of the Warp Star sound effect, Jun Ishikawa, found that the original sound's use of a major chord gave rise in later games to uncomfortable dissonance.
  • The warbling sound effect behind the Warp Star is the work of longtime HAL Laboratory sound staff memberJun Ishikawa, and is created by rapidly arpeggiating aquartal chord (stacking perfect fourths, as in 're-sol-do') and displacing the chord in parallel harmony, upwards in pitch when the Warp Star takes off and downwards when the Warp Star comes in for a landing.
    • In early games likeKirby's Dream Land,the sound effect used amajor chord, including a standard major triad ('mi-sol-do'). However, Ishikawa found that as sound technology advanced and the Warp Star sound played simultaneously with more sound channels, this major chord and the parallel displacement of it (while stable in isolation) became dissonant with background music. Ishikawa became increasingly uncomfortable with the effect, and changed the sound to use stacked fourths starting withKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land to avoid such discordance.[2]
    • Some games released followingKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land still use the classic "major chord" version of the Warp Star sound:Kirby Super Star Ultra reuses the same sound fromKirby Super Star, while titles directed byMasahiro Sakurai likeSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate use the original 8-bitKirby's Dream Land sound effect.
  • Prior toKirby's Return to Dream Land,Meta Knight is never seen riding a Warp Star. In theMeta Knightmare andMeta Knightmare Ultra Sub-Games inKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land andKirby Super Star Ultra respectively, when Meta Knight touches a Warp Star, rather than riding it, he spreads his wings and flies off in a similar trajectory. Similarly, inKirby Air Ride, Meta Knight does not ride anAir Ride Machine, opting to fly instead.
  • The Warp Star would have served as the main plot device and focus of the canceledKirby for Nintendo GameCube game, where it would have been stolen by King Dedede and Kirby would have had to go after him to get it back.
  • The Warp Star was the namesake of Warpstar, Inc., a joint venture between Nintendo and HAL Laboratory to manageKirby copyrights and intellectual property, starting with theKirby: Right Back at Ya! series. This venture was fully subsided into Nintendo and renamed Nintendo Stars, Inc. in 2025.
