A '''Star Block''',<ref>{{cite manual|quote=Star Block. Attack or swallow these to get them out of your way|game=Kirby Super Star Ultra|page=20}}</ref> called '''Star Box''' in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', and '''Inhale Block''' in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''{{'}}s manual, is a yellow-orange square [[block]] with a bordered white star insignia inset which is commonly found in most [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' games]] as part of the environment, whether it be used as a barricade, to build platforms, or just tucked away in the corner of an area. Star Blocks are typically about [[Kirby]]'s size (though some are larger) and can be easily inhaled by the pink puffball and used to spit out [[Star Bullet]]s. They can also be destroyed in a single hit by any attack, including [[Air Bullet]]s, [[Slide]] attacks, [[Water Gun]] shots, or [[Headbutt]]s. In some games, such as ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', they can also be destroyed (albeit sometimes inadvertently) using a [[Dive Attack]]. In many cases, Star Blocks will reveal other items or even hidden [[Door]]s when broken. | A '''Star Block''',<ref>{{cite manual|quote=Star Block.

Star Blocks are typically involved in | Star Blocks are typically involved in [[puzzle]]s or other environmental challenges which utilize their various properties. Sometimes they are simply meant to be used as ammunition against enemies or to hit [[switch]]es and other objects, while other times they serve as a fragile set of platforms that Kirby may want to keep intact so he or another character can traverse a chasm with a [[Key]] or other item. In rarer cases, Star Block formations may be tied more esoterically to other triggers, such as in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', where Kirby has to selectively break certain blocks in a formation to make one of the [[Crystal Shard]]s appear. Due to their ubiquitous nature, some enemies (like [[Blockin]]) will disguise themselves as Star Blocks in order to get the jump on Kirby. | ||
