'''Point Stars''' are basic [[item]]s which can appear in stages. [[Kirby]] will gain an [[1-Up|extra life]] if enough are collected. Point Stars have taken on a number of different appearances through the series, but in the modern titles (starting with ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''), they are simple 5-pointed stars which either float or fall to the ground and spin slowly in place. They can be found out in the open, inside [[Treasure|Treasure Chest]]s, or from defeated enemies and destroyed objects.

In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', Point Stars are called '''Small Stars'''. There is only one variety of the item in this game, and collecting seven of them results in a 1-Up. They can be found scattered through stages, can be earned in the [[Goal Game]], and are collected as the objective in the [[Bonus Chance]] games.

Small yellow Point Stars appear in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', found frequently in stages (both out in the open and from reel gates which award them when passed through) and awarded as part of the [[Dash! Jump!]] goal game. 100 are needed to earn a 1-Up in this game, the first in the ''Kirby'' series to have this number requirement. Unlike most other titles, there are no larger variants of Point Stars in this game.
