The '''Star Rod''' is a magical scepter that serves as the symbol of [[Dream Land]] and acts as the heart of the [[Fountain of Dreams]], supplying it with the power to send pleasant and peaceful dreams to all of the residents of the kingdom. According to legend, the large glowing star that forms the tip was a fragment from a star that had fallen into Dream Land long ago, and the Star Rod itself created the Fountain of Dreams.<ref>''Kirby's Adventure'' Instruction Booklet (NA print), page 6</ref> When [[King Dedede]] shatters the Star Rod into seven pieces, the fountain ceases to function, and it becomes [[Kirby]]'s task to gather all the pieces from King Dedede's [[boss|friends]] and put it back together again. Once the restored Star Rod is in Kirby's hands, he can swing it to fire [[Star Bullet]]s at rapid pace or strike close-up with a spinning jump attack; both of which he uses to battle and defeat [[Nightmare]].

In all installments of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], the Star Rod appears as an item which fighters can use in battle. Here, it can be used either to hit the opponent directly, or to shoot stars at the opponent by using a side tilt or side smash. In contrast to the Star Rod's infinite power in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' games, it only has enough power in it to fire 16 stars here. After all 16 stars are used, the item can still be swung at close quarters to strike opponents, and will immediately vanish when it hits the ground after being tossed or dropped. Also, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' , when the item is used by [[smashwiki:Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon]], the Star Rod releases five stars at once, and if used by [[smashwiki:Sheik|Sheik]], it fires two.
