Heart Star: Difference between revisions

|caption=Kirby and Nago get a '''Heart Star''' from a local flower in Stage 1 of [[Grass Land (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Grass Land]].

'''Heart Stars''' are collectable items found in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. These are all needed to forge the [[Love-Love Stick]], a weapon which is used to battle [[Dark Matter]] at the end of the game. They are concentrated love and goodwill formed by denizens of [[Popstar|Pop Star]] when they are grateful. Their name comes from the fact that they continually shift form between a heart and a star.

Each level in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' has six stages (not counting boss stages), and one Heart Star can be found at the end of each stage. Kirby and his friends will pick up a Heart Star from a Pop Star denizen at the end of the stage, given that the proper conditions are met. After Kirby has collected all six Heart Stars in a particular level, he can use them to dispel the remaining [[Dark Matter]] from the area, once he's beaten the level Boss with them in hand. The boss in question - free from Dark Matter's influence - will thus be friendly to Kirby should he visit them again.

|ムチムチ<br>''[[Muchimuchi]]''<br><small>Can be read as "whip whip"</small>

|ピエール<br>''[[Pierre]]''

|In Room 2, in the hollow stump, there are three shapes scattered around the place - a triangle, a ball, and a rectangle. Kirby will need to collect all of these, then head to the stage exit with them. Done correctly, the clown at the end will be seen juggling them, and will give out a Heart Star.

|コガムガエル (the child) / ガムガエル (the parent)<br>''[[Little Toad & Toad]]''

|After ascending the dark tower in an auto-scrolling section, Kirby needs to find a hidden doorway on the left. This will take him on a path to do battle with [[Captain Stitch]]. After defeating this Gordo, Kirby will need to gain the [[Needle]] ability from the fallen [[Mid-Boss]], then use it to free Little Toad down a hallway. After the frog is obtained, Kirby just needs to reach the end of the stage to reunite it with its parent, named Toad, and get the Heart Star. Secret doors are not visible, so Kirby must guess where they are.

|ピッチママ<br>''Pitch Mama''

|[[Pitch Mama|Pitch's mother]] is waiting at the end of this stage to see [[Pitch|her son]]. She will give out a Heart Star when she does.

|ゲロマズダケ<br>''[[Poison Mushrooms]]''

|In the very first area, Kirby will encounter both red tulips like the ones in Grass Land, and brown Poison Mushrooms. Unlike in that stage, Kirby is actually supposed to trample the tulips, but leave the mushrooms untouched. Done correctly, Kirby will receive a Heart Star from another mushroom at the end of the stage.

|オバチャン<br>''[[Auntie]]''

|In the sandstone tower, past the guarding [[Bukiset]] a janitor named Auntie can be seen sweeping the floor. She has this room covered, but she'd be grateful if Kirby went and swept up the other two that have grown rather dusty. Naturally, the [[Cleaning|Clean]] ability is what Kirby will want for this task. Should he clean up both other floors, Auntie will give him a Heart Star as thanks at the end of the stage.

*The bottom-left chamber has R.O.B.'s right arm. To get it, Kirby will need to grab [[Kine]] or [[Coo]] and the [[Stone]] ability. Careful maneuvering is needed in the first room to avoid falling into the [[bottomless pit]] below.

|ヒバナモドキ<br>''[[Pseudo-Fire Flower]]''

|In the last area of this stage, a bunch of flowers resembling this one can be found, but are covered in soot. To clean them off, Kirby will need not only the [[Cleaning|Clean]] ability, but [[Coo]]'s help as well. Kirby will need to brush off all of the flowers, but should be careful not to trample them in the process. If successful, Kirby can receive the heart-star from the last flower at the end.

|ピヨ / ケコ<br>''[[Piyo & Keko]]''<br><small>''Piyo'' is a Japanese onomatopoeia for cheeping, while ''Keko'' is a Japanese onomatopoeia for a chicken's cackle.</small>

|タマサン<br>''[[Mr. Ball]]''

|ミカリン (orange) / かがみもっち (white)<br>''[[Mikarin & Kagami Mocchi]]''<br><small>"Mikarin" is a portmanteau of the Japanese word ''mikan'' and the English "mandarin", both referring to oranges. Kagami Mocchi is a reference to [[wikipedia:kagami mochi|a decoration with the same name]], also involving oranges.

|In the room directly following the fight with [[Jumper Shoot]], a small orange-looking creature can be seen sitting on a platform against a strong current of wind. In order to reach it, Kirby will need help from [[Coo]]. Once Mikarin is collected, Kirby then has to reach the end of the stage. There, he will get a Heart Star from Mikarin and Kagami Mocchi that it is sitting on top of.
