A '''3D Warp Star''' (or '''3D Warpstar''') is a variant of [[Warp Star]] that first appeared in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. It is visually defined by its fragmentary nature, consisting of a small central star surrounded by a wider but thinner star-shaped brace. Unlike normal Warp Stars, 3D Warp Stars quickly take [[Kirby]] to a nearby area on a different plane to where he was previously, allowing the pink puffball to traverse the third dimension to a limited capacity. 3D Warp Stars are not used to travel to new rooms or other areas, like a Warp Star would be. 3D Warp Stars are differentiated in the same way as [[door]]s: those with yellow stars are one-way, and those with orange stars are round-trip.

To activate a 3D Warp Star, the user must touch it. When this is done, the rider will automatically grab on to the star, and after a brief pause, will be taken to a new predetermined area in a different plane of the stage. The rider cannot disembark from the 3D Warp Star until the trip is complete, whereupon the star vanishes. What happens after that point depends on which of the two types of 3D Warp Star was ridden. The first type has a yellow center and will not reappear after being used. The second type - with an orange center - will spawn a new orange-centered 3D Warp Star nearby the point where the rider lands, allowing him to travel back from whence he came. The rider can use a 3D Warp Star while carrying any hold-able item, such as a [[key]] or [[Timed Dynamite]].

3D Warp Stars first appear in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', and transport their rider between the foreground and background. 3D Warp Stars also appear in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', where they serve the same purpose.

===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===
In this game, a 3D Warp Star appears as an icon in the [[Jukebox/Kirby and the Rainbow Curse|Music Room]] that represents the ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' music tracks.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', 3D Warp Stars appear as transport in [[Fortress of Shadows - Jambastion|Jambastion]]'s [[level hub]]. They do not appear in regular stages.

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
3D Warp Stars do not appear as objects in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]''. However, a [[Character Treat]] depicting Kirby riding one can be collected, using the artwork from ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''.
