Warp Stars are one of the primary modes of transportation in the Kirby series. They have appeared in nearly every Kirby game, since their first appearance in Kirby's Dream Land. Warp Stars have the appearance of a large, yellow, five pointed star. During gameplay, they are used to carry Kirby from one section of a level to another, or provide transport to another level.

Game Appearances

Kirby's Dream Land

The Warp Stars made their first appearance in Kirby's first game Kirby's Dream Land. They are mainly used to take Kirby from one section to another.

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

In Nightmare in Dream Land, Warp Stars are used to transport Kirby to distant levels, such as from Vegetable Valley to Orange Ocean. They are also found inside stages, where they transport Kirby to another part of the stage.

Super Smash Bros. series

In the Super Smash Bros. series, the Warp Star is a usable item with which a character uses to glide up in the sky, land on the ground, and create a large impact. It can be moved while in the sky by executing the common buttons used to move.

The Warp Star is a ridable machine in Kirby Air Ride. It can be considered the most balanced and basic of all vehicles in the game, with no major strengths or flaws.

The Warp Star, as it appears in this game, is flat, and lays parallel with the ground, hovering only a few inches in the air. Its five pronged points are relatively round. The two points nearest the rear are equipped with varied small propulsion units, which appear to give the machine its forward thrust, expelling what appears to be some form of white-and-blue gas.

Mechanics

In terms of the Warp Star's abilities, it is almost completely balanced in every area. Compared to the entire roster of machines, however, it has a slightly lower-than-usual top speed of 25 km/h, and slightly better-than-usual gliding and handling capabilities.

How to Unlock

In Air Ride, this is the only machine which is available from the start, and does not need to be unlocked through the checklist.

In City Trial, the Warpstar can occasionally be found randomly throughout the city and mounted like most other air ride machines. It is always available in Free Run as well.

Instruction Booklet Description

"This machine has a good balance of basic capabilities."
