'''Magman''' is the fiery, glob-like boss of [[Neo Star]] in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. He mainly uses lava-based attacks, and can also summon [[Magoo]] and [[Burnis]] to attack Kirby. The battle begins after [[Kirby]] [[Ribbon|and]] [[Adeleine|his]] [[King Dedede|friends]] [[Waddle Dee|make]] their way into the cavern Magman makes his home in.

At the start of the battle, Magman resides in the background and can only be damaged when he attacks Kirby with lava pillars. These pillars are used in a variety of ways to manipulate the platforms Kirby is standing on, such as thrusting them at Kirby, pushing the platforms to the ceiling, and creating them right next to Kirby, where they curl downwards to the floor. During these attacks, small enemies called [[Magoo]] will appear from the lava. They can be used to obtain the [[Burning]] [[Copy Ability]], or simply inhaled and spat back out to drain Magman's health.

After the majority of his health is drained, Magman will proceed to appear in the foreground and chase Kirby to a solid lava platform on the right. This is the only part of the battle where Magman can be directly attacked. During this phase, the boss no longer uses lava pillars, but instead tries new attacks that include disappearing underground and summoning [[Burnis]], blowing fire blasts out of his mouth, and summoning falling rocks by smashing his head into the ceiling. Once Kirby defeats Magman, the latter will surrender a Crystal Shard that is used to advance to [[Shiver Star]].

*In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', Magman makes an appearance on a [[Character Treat]], using his artwork from ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''.

 

*During his second phase, [[Pyribbit]] may summon motile lava pillars that resemble Magman. However, these pillars have different expressions on their face whereas Magman's expression is a Poker Face.
