'''Dark Star''' is the final level in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', and is where [[Kirby]]'s mission to vanquish [[Dark Matter (cloud)|Dark Matter]] ends. The prerequisites to reach this level are to obtain all of the scattered [[Crystal Shard]]s in the game and to defeat [[Miracle Matter]], the boss of [[Ripple Star]]; as such, Dark Star can only be reached if the true ending is achieved. While defeating Miracle Matter will superficially rid the realm of Dark Matter, the [[queen]] of [[Ripple Star]] will still be affected by [[0²]], the source of the Dark Matter, resulting in a [[bad ending]] if Miracle Matter was defeated but not every Crystal Shard was collected. In the true ending, by using the power of the Crystal Shards, 0² is defeated in the core of the Dark Star, and peace returns to the entire realm, including Ripple Star.
'''Dark Star''' is the final realm in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', and it is here where Kirby's mission to vanquish the realm of [[Dark Matter]] ends. The prerequisite to reach this star is to locate all of the scattered [[Crystal Shard]]s from across the realm, and [[Miracle Matter]], the boss of the [[Ripple Star]], must be defeated. While defeating Miracle Matter will superficially rid the realm of Dark Matter, the [[Fairy Queen]] at the helm of the government on [[Pop Star]] will still be affected by the exploits of [[Zero Two|0²]], the source of the Dark Matter located at the core of the Dark Star. By using the power of the Crystal Shards, Zero Two is defeated and peace returns to the entire realm, including that of the Fairy Queen.
 
Dark Star itself appears to be an enormous dark cloud made up of Dark Matter. Inside of it is a dark-red cloudy environment with many colored hexagons that serve as a floor. During the battle with 0², the dark-red background has multiple black tiretrack-like bars moving on it.

There isn't much to this level, beyond the major boss fight. Kirby begins on a series of hexagonal platforms in the middle of a red [[Void]], and must progress to the right. There will be several [[N-Z]] blocking his way, but they won't be too much a hindrance. [[Waddle Dee]] opens up the way to the next room by bursting a hole through the floor.

There will be several [[N-Z]] blocking his way, but they won't be too much a hindrance. [[Waddle Dee (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|Waddle Dee]] opens up the way to the next room by bursting a hole through the floor.


In the next room, [[Adeleine]] paints a [[Maxim Tomato]] for Kirby as her last gift to him; alternatively, she may paint a [[1-Up]] if Kirby is at full health. From there, Kirby gets a boost into the air from [[King Dedede]] to begin the fight proper.

The last part of the level is the fight with [[0²]], which uses [[Ribbon's Crystal]]. Unlike in the rest of the game, Kirby and Ribbon are controlled in a fully 3D space in order to avoid 0²'s attacks and shoot at its weak points. When it is defeated, it explodes in a dramatic fashion, destroying Dark Star along with it.
The last part of the level is the fight with [[Zero Two|0²]], which is done using the [[Fairy Wings-Crystal Gun]] ability. This is the only part of the game where Kirby and Ribbon are controlled in a full 3-D space in order to encircle the boss and shoot at its weak points. When 0² is defeated, it explodes in dramatic fashion, destroying Dark Star along with it.

==Cutscene - "Crystal Clear!"==
==Ending Cutscene==
[[File:K64 Crystal Clear scene 01.png|thumb|200px|Dark Star enters convulsions and explodes once 0² is defeated.]]
Kirby and Co. escape Dark Star as it convulses, then explodes. Back on Ripple Star, fireworks fill the night sky as the [[Fairy Queen]] awards crystal medals to each of the heroes from [[Pop Star]]. When Kirby gets his medal, Ribbon comes forward and gives him a kiss on the cheek. At this, Kirby blushes and stumbles backward, causing him to fall down the stairs. The cut-scene ends frozen on this moment as Kirby's friends panic to catch him. From here, the credits roll, and the game is completed.
