Energy Sphere
An Energy Sphere is a collectible item found in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Energy Spheres resemble semi-transparent spheres with gears in them, and they apparently power the Lor Starcutter. Kirby must obtain Energy Spheres, found in often hidden or hard to reach areas throughout the non-boss stages of the game, to unlock doors to sub-games, challenges, and Copy Ability rooms in the Lor Starcutter. There are 120 Energy Spheres in total; each stage consists of from 3 to 5 Energy Spheres.
