'''Milky Way Wishes''' is the sixth main game in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]], and the final one in the former. It possesses a difficulty level of 5 stars and can be accessed after finishing [[Revenge of Meta Knight]]. The stage is mainly notable for requiring [[Kirby]] to collect [[Copy Essence Deluxe|Copy Essences Deluxe]] to receive [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]], rather than acquiring them from enemies.

The story begins as Kirby and other onlookers witness the sun and moon of [[Popstar|Pop Star]] fighting endlessly for control of the sky, causing day and night to shift dramatically. As they look on, a small jester named [[Marx]] comes riding in on a ball, telling Kirby that the only way to stop this is to summon the giant comet [[Galactic Nova|Nova]] using energy from the planets in the Milky Way.

The story begins as Kirby and other onlookers witness the sun and moon of [[Popstar|Pop Star]] fighting endlessly for control of the sky, causing day and night to shift dramatically. As they look on, a small jester named [[Marx]] comes riding in on a ball, telling Kirby that the only way to stop this is to summon the giant comet [[Galactic Nova|Nova]] using energy from the planets of the starry path.


Kirby visits seven major planets, collecting a star from each one. Once he has all seven, he uses them to summon the great Comet from beyond space and time. Nova proclaims to Kirby that he may have one wish, but before Kirby can make that wish, Marx appears out of nowhere, bumps Kirby out of the way, and wishes for complete control of Pop Star. Nova grants Marx his wish, as he gloats to Kirby, saying he got the sun and moon to fight in order to steal this opportunity. Both Nova and Marx fly off toward Pop Star, as Kirby is left stranded out in space. Thankfully, the stars he collected coalesce into the [[Starship]], which Kirby uses to make chase.

==Overview==
==Overview==
Milky Way Wishes is the final main game mode in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and the penultimate game mode in {{KSSU}}. It can be seen as a culmination of all previous game modes, using aesthetics, enemies, and bosses from earlier games, though often making them more powerful. The only unique bosses in Milky Way Wishes are faced at the very end of the game mode, once all six main planets are cleared.
Milky Way Wishes is the final main game mode in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and the penultimate game mode in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. It can be seen as a culmination of all previous game modes, using aesthetics, enemies, and bosses from earlier games, though often making them more powerful. The only unique bosses in Milky Way Wishes are faced at the very end of the game mode, once all six main planets are cleared.


Despite this, Milky Way Wishes has a couple of unique mechanics to it. As explained in the [[Beginner's Room]], Kirby is unable to obtain [[Copy Ability|copy abilities]] in a normal fashion for the most part; enemies which normally provide abilities in other modes will grant Kirby nothing when swallowed. Instead, Kirby must find special items in each stage called Copy Essences Deluxe, which permanently grant him access to certain abilities. Once an essence is obtained, the player can choose it from a menu containing all abilities that have been unlocked, and Kirby will automatically be granted the ability selected.

In addition, Milky Way Wishes features distinct planets as stages, which can be visited and completed in any order, although a natural order does exist, as outlined in the table in the next section. Each stage prior to the final one contains at least one Copy Essence Deluxe hidden within. While it is not required to collect any of these to complete the game, collecting every essence is required for [[100% completion]]. The main objective Kirby has on each planet is to locate and defeat the boss, and then collect a star from that planet's [[Fountain of Dreams|fountain]].  
Milky Way Wishes takes place on the starry path (known in Japanese as the "Milky Road"), which features stages represented as planets. These can be visited and completed in any order, although a natural order does exist, as outlined in the table in the next section.

While it is not required to collect any of these to complete the game, collecting every essence is required for [[100% completion]].

These are the stages in Milky Way Wishes as well as the Copy Essence Deluxe pedestals and [[boss|bosses]] they have. Kirby can do these in any order, but a line of stars connects a completed planet to another planet, and if Kirby follows this pattern, he will go through all the levels in the following order (barring Planet [[????]]):

Marx moves quickly around the battlefield, having the ability to teleport at will, create vortexes, shoot laser beams, and fly through the ground for an ambush, alongside some other more abstract attacks. He can be very difficult to predict, and does not leave Kirby very much opportunity or time to retaliate with [[Star Bullet]]s.

Once he is defeated, Marx flies uncontrollably off toward the Galactic Nova. He collides with it, causing the Nova to explode in dramatic fashion in-queue with the end music. From there, Kirby flies back home on his [[Warp Star]], as the sun and moon dance in celebration.

==Differences between versions==
==Differences between versions==
While gameplay, stage design, and enemy layout is largely the same between ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and {{KSSU}}, the visuals are quite different between the two, particularly when it comes to cut-scenes. Unlike in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]], however, the dialogue spoken in the cut-scenes are largely unchanged between the two versions.

Unlike in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]], however, the dialogue spoken in the cutscenes are largely unchanged between the two versions.


Like with all other cut-scenes, the cut-scenes for Milky Way Wishes are handled with spritework in the original game, and with 3-D full-motion video in the remake. As such, cut-scenes in the original tend to be quicker and punchier, while scenes in the remake are slower, but more fluid in motion for the most part.
The most drastic change in the remake is that the recycled bosses receive new versions with alternate palettes and extra health. Notable examples include [[Twin Woods]] bearing a fall canopy, [[Kracko]] appearing with a light blue hue, and [[Heavy Lobster]] being fought in a production factory and appearing with a silver hauberk instead of gold. These alternate boss fights are subsequently reused in [[Helper to Hero]].


Aside from the more general upgrades in graphics, the sprite-work in Milky Way Wishes also changes more drastically in the remake, giving all bosses different col{{o}}r palettes in addition to the enemy and mid-boss palette changes shared by both versions. Notable examples include [[Twin Woods]] bearing an autumn canopy, [[Kracko]] appearing with a light blue hue, and [[Heavy Lobster]] appearing with a silver hauberk instead of gold.

*Despite Kirby's inability to obtain Copy Abilities from most enemies in Milky Way Wishes, there are three enemy types that do yield abilities: [[Bomber]]s, [[Noddy]]s and [[paint]] blobs. Their abilities are not available in Copy Essence Deluxe form and can only be received by swallowing or [[Copy]]ing them.

**Because it's possible to gain abilities from these enemies, it is also possible to get a random ability by swallowing two or more of them at once. This can be easily done at the beginning area of Hotbeat with two [[Noddy]]s.
