Kirby Super Star (Hoshi no Kirby Super Deluxe in Japanese, and Kirby's Fun Pak in European languages) is a 1996 SNES game, and part of the Kirby franchise. This game also sees the return of series creator Masahiro Sakurai's directorship, having last worked on 1993's Kirby's Adventure. Unlike the other Kirby games, where everyone's favorite pink puffball has one long adventure, Super Star contained a number of shorter games — its tag line on the box was "8 games in one!" Those games — 6 main, 2 sub — are: Main Games: Spring Breeze: King Dedede has stolen all the food in Dream Land, and it's up to Kirby to stop him. The introductory game, it's essentially a compressed version of the original Kirby's Dream Land with abilities added. Dyna Blade: A mysterious creature named Dyna Blade is terrorizing Dream Land, and it's up to Kirby to stop her. This game adds a world map, some additional powers, and a couple extras, but in the end, it is mostly an intro game like Spring Breeze. Gourmet Race: Kirby and King Dedede race to see who can eat the most food while still reaching the finish line first. It's pretty straightforward. Very notable for its music: the theme for the first and third stages (known variously as "Gourmet Go Go", "Get Up and Go-urmet!", or simply "Gourmet Race") is one of the staples of the Kirby franchise, and it's also a popular source for remixes on websites such as YouTube. The Great Cave Offensive: Kirby has accidentally fallen down a hole and found himself in a huge cave, filled with treasure. Now he has to find a way out of the cave while grabbing as much loot as he can along the way. More of a Metroidvania game than a linear platformer, Kirby's quest through the cave helps him find various valuable relics, several of which reference other Nintendo games. Revenge of Meta Knight: Meta Knight, seeking to conquer Dream Land and end its lazy lifestyle, mobilizes his flying battleship Halberd, and it's up to Kirby to stop him. In this game, the levels are timed — failing to clear it within a certain amount of time results in a loss. Also noted for the story — Meta Knight and his crew can be heard talking about Kirby attacking, and the crew is visibly freaking out as he lays waste to the Halberd. Milky Way Wishes: The Sun and the Moon are fighting, throwing day and night into chaos, and it's up to Kirby to stop hi— or rather, them. This game takes Kirby to other worlds to find the wish-granting comet Nova, and since the enemies on these worlds are different than the usual ones, Kirby can't absorb their powers; instead, he has to find the Deluxe Copy Essences around the levels, after which point he has those powers forever, and can shuffle through them practically at will. The Arena: Okay, nine games in one, as beating all six main games unlocks The Arena, a straight-up Boss Rush. Kirby has his choice of abilities and a set number of Maxim Tomatoes, and must battle through every boss and mid-boss in the game, from Whispy Woods to Meta Knight to the terror that is Waddle Dee, before a rematch with the final boss. Sub-Games: Samurai Kirby: Kirby faces off in a Single-Stroke Battle with five increasingly tough opponents. Like the Quick Draw game in Kirby's Adventure, it's a game of reaction time. Megaton Punch: Less related to the similarly-named trope and more a contest of timing, the challenge is to line up the strength and timing meters just right to deliver a strong enough punch to break the planet in half. Remixed in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (and later Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe) as Crackity Hack.While Kirby's Dream Land for the Game Boy and Kirby's Adventure for the NES laid the groundwork for the Kirby formula, Super Star is considered to be the game that perfected it, to the point where its style of gameplay has become the series standard. It was remade in 2008 for the Nintendo DS as Kirby Super Star Ultra (Hoshi no Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe in Japanese), which added a handful of extra games to the mix, bringing the total to 16 games in one: Main Games: Revenge of the King: Like Spring Breeze, this game follows the original Kirby's Dream Land. The trick this time is that this is a remix of Kirby's Dream Land's Extra Game (hard mode), so the enemies, especially the bosses, are a lot tougher. This includes a fight against war-blimp Kabula, mid-bosses from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, and a souped-up King Dedede. Helper to Hero: Instead of playing as Kirby, you choose one of his helpers (characters based on an element that Kirby absorbed, usually controlled by computer or by a second player) and run though a shortened, non-randomized version of The Arena with a new boss at the end. This can create quite a challenge: sure, winning as Bonkers (Hammer) or Plasma Wisp (Plasma) isn't too bad, but how about winning with Capsule J2 (Jet) or Wheelie (Wheel)? Not to mention getting the best time... Meta Knightmare Ultra: You play as Meta Knight through abridged versions of the original main games, excluding Gourmet Race and The Arena. Meta Knight has a whole suite of moves at his disposal, and uses them to thrash his way through the stages. His goal is to revive the wish-granting Nova so he can fight the ultimate warrior in the universe, while your goal is to get the best time. The True Arena: This is what happens when The Arena hates you. It's a Boss Rush again, but with less health-recovery (5 regular tomatoes) and much tougher bosses — you fight the bosses and sub-bosses from Revenge of the King, then the final bosses from the three added games, and a bonus True Final Boss at the very end. Sub-Games: A set of mini-games that can be played with friends wirelessly, they utilize the Nintendo DS's touch screen and stylus. They can be summarized as: Snack Tracks: Kirby sits at the end of a conveyor belt, eating as much food from it as he can while avoiding the (not-so delicious) Capillers and bombs. Kirby on the Draw: Kirby does target practice at a Wild West-style range with popguns. Kirby Card Swipe: Kirby plays Karuta.Ultra is also notable for being the directorial debut of Shinya Kumazaki, who would serve as the director and later general director of the franchise as a whole from that point forward. | |

Miles Gloriosus: Captain Vul is the most dedicated of Meta Knight's men to killing Kirby, even sacrificing the ship's well-being when he releases Heavy Lobster. However, he never goes after Kirby himself, and when the ship begins crashing, he's the first one to escape. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Revenge of Meta Knight. The plot of the game involves Meta Knight taking matters into his own hands to conquer Dream Land and end its lazy lifestyle. Most of the levels in the mode take place aboard the Halberd, which has a much darker color scheme than anything else seen so far in the game, resembling something straight out of Final Fantasy VII more than anything. The music for the Halberd stages are also fast-paced and intense, something we're not used to hearing from a game like this, such as Meta Knight's boss theme. Revenge of the King in Ultra is this for Spring Breeze. Not only is the game significantly harder much like Extra Mode of the original Kirby's Dream Land, but the bright colors of each level are significantly toned down and made darker, while the plot of the game involves King Dedede finally getting serious and doing everything in his power to finally defeat Kirby. There's also the final two levels of the mode, which involve a battle against the returning Kabula, and Kirby running through Castle Dedede to make his way to King Dedede's hideout, ending with the pink puffball doing battle with the king with a cool new mask and mechanical hammer, and ending with the king sulking through the desert at night, distraught at losing once again to his rival. | |

Shows Damage: Kirby and the helpers both blink when low on health. When a helper loses all of their health, they blink more brightly and more aggressively, giving a short window of time to heal, convert, or depower them before they explode. | |

| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: Coconut bombs will fall and explode if you walk under them. You can avoid this danger by blowing them up with any attack, even though that should usually still hurt you. Even though swallowing a bomb will hurt you in some minigames, eating one in the main games will give you the Bomb ability. | |

The Cameo: In both versions, various Mario characters can be seen at the sides of King Dedede's arena and in Megaton Punch. Two of Stone Kirby's rarest transformations are gold statues of Mario and Samus. Mario himself appears next to the Nintendo logo during the Milky Way Wishes credits in the original game, and the Revenge of the King credits in the remake. | |

Last Lousy Point | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_23168b93 | comment |
Last Lousy Point: Ultra is technically 100% finished without doing this, but if you actually want to get everything in the game (meaning movie 00 in the Theater), you have to beat Helper to Hero using all twenty helpers. Not only is that incredibly tedious, but a select few of them really don't make it easy. | |

Replay Mode: The Arena is a Boss Rush that is unlocked once you've completed all other main sub-games. In addition, Spring Breeze, Revenge of Meta Knight, and Revenge of the King (in the DS remake) allows you to select stage numbers in their title screens. The DS remake meanwhile adds in Theater mode, which allows the player to re-watch any one of the game's pre-rendered FMVs, including an Animated Outtakes reel, a 100% Completion bonus animation, and the sprite-based cutscenes from the original SNES version. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Marx in Milky Way Wishes convinces the Sun and the Moon to fight each other, then manipulates Kirby into reconstructing wish-granting comet Nova by saying that is the only way to stop the conflict. Once Kirby accomplishes his mission, Marx immediately uses the wish to become the ruler of Popstar. | |

Uncommon Time: Meta Knight's battle theme is entirely in 5/4, and the Milky Way Wishes map theme is mostly in 7/8. "Meddlesome Marx", which plays during the final battle, takes the cake; it switches time signatures constantly with little rhyme or reason.note It goes, 9/8, 3/8, 7/8, 6/8, 9/8, 6/8, two 5/8 measures, four 3/8 measures, 7/8, 6/8, 9/8, 9/8, two measures of 5/8, eight measures of 3/8, two measures of 5/8, two measures of 3/8, 6/8, two measures of 5/8, 6/8, 5/8, and finally four measures of 6/8. | |

Smart Bomb: The Crash and Mike copy abilities return from Kirby's Adventure, carrying over their limited-use screen nuke capabilities. A third screen nuke ability debuts here in the form of Paint, which only appears during the Chameleo Arm and Heavy Lobster (and Marx Soul in Ultra) fights as a way to cleave large chunks off of the bosses' health (albeit at the cost of making Heavy Lobster more aggressive and unpredictable). Like Crash, it can only be used once, after which Kirby has to reacquire the ability from a paint blob/Paint Slime. | |

While the Halberd plummets to the ocean. On fire. In Meta Knightmare Ultra, Meta Knight asks Nova to let him fight with a Worthy Opponent. Nova gives him Galacta Knight, the most powerful warrior in the galaxy. | |

Culturally Sensitive Adaptation: Ultra changes Wham Bam Rock's design to look less like Blackface, instead looking like a stone relief. Wham Bam Jewel looks closer to Wham Bam Rock's original design, but is given fangs and a third eye to look less human. The South Korean release of Ultra changes certain sprites in Samurai Kirby to lessen its resemblance to feudal Japan, due to this era being associated with Japan's forced annexation of Korea. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: This is the first Kirby game to portray Kirby as getting hats from his powers. It's also the only Kirby game where said hats can be removed to either turn into the various "helpers" from the game (or turn Helpers into them) or to turn them into a different Helper. It's also the only game with Copy Ability hats that doesn't allow Kirby to voluntarily discard his abilities as ability stars (Ultra restores this ability). They can be discarded as ability items, though. Before Kirby Star Allies was released, this was the only Kirby game to have ordinary enemies become playable helpers. This game and, by extension, its remake are the only Kirby games to have a Copy Ability that could be gotten from more than one boss in the same game (as Suplex can be obtained from Bugzzy, Jukid and, in the remake, Phan Phannote as "Throw" isn't an available Copy Ability). | |

Let's Get Dangerous! | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_562abd51 | comment |
Let's Get Dangerous!: The description for Revenge of the King says that King Dedede has gotten serious since he was beaten by Kirby many times in the past. It shows through the Masked Dedede boss fight, where he has a new, high-tech hammer with new attacks and an electrified cage surrounding the ring. He's also much more aggressive. In the original Dedede fight, any and every hit would make the King flinch and cancel whatever attack he is performing. Here, while he still flinches, Kirby's attacks merely pause his attacks' momentum. The moment Dedede recovers, he completes the attacks as if nothing ever happened. Sometimes, if Kirby is close enough, Dedede will instead opt for an instant trip attack. | |

Charged Attack | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_589e54d3 | comment |
As far as helpers go, T.A.C. is by far the most useful, especially against bosses. While normally he can shoot his arm out as a projectile to copy a foe's ability, most bosses don't have Copy Abilities, so it deals damage instead. It's a bit unwieldy to use, but it's very effective if used properly since it can be charged up for quite a bit of damage (but it's not as effective in the air due to the charge time). From there, it can defeat several bosses in seconds. This makes him a surprisingly effective choice for clearing The Arena and Helper to Hero. He even has a guard that makes him completely invulnerable to damage by blending in with the background as an added bonus. | |

| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Revenge of the King in Ultra is this for Spring Breeze. Not only is the game significantly harder much like Extra Mode of the original Kirby's Dream Land, but the bright colors of each level are significantly toned down and made darker, while the plot of the game involves King Dedede finally getting serious and doing everything in his power to finally defeat Kirby. There's also the final two levels of the mode, which involve a battle against the returning Kabula, and Kirby running through Castle Dedede to make his way to King Dedede's hideout, ending with the pink puffball doing battle with the king with a cool new mask and mechanical hammer, and ending with the king sulking through the desert at night, distraught at losing once again to his rival. | |

Gameplay Roulette: Each game works differently from one another, though they all revolve around the same mechanics. The minigames are even more drastically different. | |

Inconsistent Spelling | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_66c725b6 | comment |
Inconsistent Spelling: Since the localization was completely redone for Kirby Super Star Ultra, lots of names were slightly changed, including Cook Kawasaki to Chef Kawasaki, Sir Meta-Knight to Lord Meta Knight, Burnin' Leo to Burning Leo, Poppy Bros. Jr. to Poppy Bro Jr., T.A.C. to Tac, and PopStar to Pop Star.note Pop Star is referred to as Popstar or Planet Popstar in subsequent games. In Ultra, the Computer Virus enemy characters except Slime had their names retranslated (Dancing Doll and Witch became Puppet and Magician, respectively). Most noticeably, one of the monsters originally went by the name of Red Dragon, but due to it receiving another palette, it was changed to Great Dragon.note In the Japanese version of Ultra, the Great Dragon is called the Grand Dragon, which unfortunately happens to be the title of the leader of the Ku Klux Klan. Also in Kirby Super Star Ultra, some of the names of other bosses were further changed — Ghameleo Arm became Chameleo Arm, Combo Cannon became Main Cannon #2, Halberd's Reactor was shortened to Reactor, and Heart of Nova became Galactic Nova Nucleus. note In later games, the Halberd's cannon seems to have reverted back to Combo Cannon, as this is the name given in the Super Smash Bros. series and Kirby: Planet Robobot. Furthermore, the locations of Milky Way Wishes were all given expanded names: Floria to Grass Planet Floria, Aqualiss to Water Planet Aquarius, ? to ???, Skyhigh to Wind Planet Skyhigh, Hotbeat to Flame Planet Hotbeat, Cavios to Cave Planet Cavius, Mecheye to Machine Planet Mekkai, Halfmoon to Eternal Star Halfmoon, and Nova to Galactic Nova. note Aqualiss and Mecheye later have a cameo (along with Floria and Halfmoon) on the cover of Nintendo Magazine in Star Fox Zero – The Battle Begins under their original names. In addition, Shooting was renamed Starship in Ultra. | |

Wicked Heart Symbol | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_68f27ba0 | comment |
Wicked Heart Symbol: Once he gains power from Nova, Marx gains hearts on many parts of his body, especially his glistening wings. Did we mention that he's a psychotic, deceptively cute monster who manipulated Kirby into helping him gain said power? The core of Nova is represented by a floating pink Heart Symbol. Kirby must literally destroy Nova's heart to stop it from granting Marx's wish for world domination. | |

Knight of Cerebus: All of the Arc Villains are either just rivals (King Dedede), Anti-Villains (Dyna Blade), plain monsters (Wham Bam Rock), Well-Intentioned Extremists (Meta Knight), or just have too much mystery behind them to talk about (Galacta Knight). Marx, however, is the only one who is truly evil, and his mode, Milky Way Wishes, is where the game takes a dark turn. | |

Unending End Card | |

Unending End Card: In the original game, the Milky Way Wishes credits end with a screen you need to reset the console to exit. That little text at the bottom right of the panning galactic sky shot that says "There's more"? Yeah, no there isn't.note This is referring to the unlockable you get after the mode that triggers the card. The remake instead sends you back to the main menu after the credits wrap up and gives you a lot more to do. | |

Variant Power Copying | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_6cdd9ea8 | comment |
Variant Power Copying: While Kirby normally relies on typical Power Copying through the use of Copy Abilities, Copy is a noticeable exception. TAC, the enemy that grants the ability, steals Copy Abilities from Kirby by swiping the ability item off of him and storing it in a rucksack; as a helper, this swipe acts as an impromptu punch. Copy Kirby, meanwhile, steals abilities off of enemies by scanning them with a visor, gaining their ability immediately afterwards. | |

Underground Monkey: Each boss of the "Final Four" serve as this: Masked Dedede is a faster and stronger version of King Dedede who fights with powerful spin attacks and using flamethrowers and missiles from his hammer. Wham Bam Jewel is a stronger Wham Bam Rock who fights nearly the same, but has a powerful dashing fist attack and can shoot bullets from his fingers like a gun. Galacta Knight is this to Meta Knight, being a powerful Ax-Crazy Blood Knight who can fire powerful lasers from his lance and summon his own Meta-Knights. Marx Soul is this to Marx himself. He teleports more often, his attack patterns are more erratic, and he even uses moves directly from Drawcia Soul. | |

Cosmetic Award: The single hardest task in the game is, rather than the True Arena or even 100%, clearing Helper to Hero with every helper. This is the only task in one of the main games that does not contribute to 100% completion, and you get two rewards for doing it: a giant crown on the Helper to Hero option and the SNES intros to the original games. | |

Guide Dang It!: The location of the secret planet "?" in Milky Way Wishes is hidden on a large green star that, while somewhat distinctive, is easily overlooked and ignored unless one uses a guide or flies around aimlessly for no particular reason to discover it by accident. Not so much in Ultra, as the planet is more clearly marked by a blinking star that stands out amongst the background. | |

Zero-Effort Boss: Waddle Dee in The Arena. While he does have a good chunk of health, he makes no effort to attack you. However, he was replaced by Bandana Waddle Dee in Ultra and serves as the penultimate boss of Revenge of the King. Still, he isn't that really hard to beat, assuming that you have no Copy Ability on you... | |

Excuse Plot | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: Except for Milky Way Wishes, the plots of most games never get really complex. In fact, most of their descriptions are little more than "There's a Big Bad causing trouble! Go stop it!" Then again, Kirby doesn't need much motivation anyway.note The events of Kirby: Squeak Squad happen because Kirby thought the eponymous gang had stolen his strawberry shortcake. The Great Cave Offensive is the worst offender. "Kirby fell into a hole! Get treasure and escape from a giant whale, living RPG, paint-spitting mutant chameleon, and an ancient rock face with hands!" Meta Knightmare Ultra is simply Meta Knight beating the stuffing out of everything to prove he's the most badass warrior in the galaxy. | |

Forced Tutorial | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_735b967c | comment |
Forced Tutorial: The original SNES game starts by asking you if it's your first time playing. If you say yes, you're treated to a lengthy playable tutorial. If you say no, bizarrely, you still get a tutorial; it's just shorter and non-interactive. The DS remake changed this so it skips the tutorial if you say no, and uses the shorter non-interactive tutorial if you say yes (the interactive tutorials are instead accessed from the Settings). | |

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_7431b974 | comment |
Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Marx is one of the creepiest villains to ever appear in the series. Most games aimed at adults would stop short of a final boss with an attack that involves splitting himself in half and creating a black hole. He's even worse in Ultra when you have to face him as Marx Soul at the end of the True Arena. He's even more creepy than his boss form from the original, and if the opening cutscene doesn't get you, that bloodcurdling scream when he's defeated sure will. This is indirectly referenced in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Kirby's able to collect keychains of both Marx and Marx Soul. While the former is shown as his intact final boss sprite from the SNES version of Super Star, the Marx Soul keychain depicts Marx in the middle of his splitting attack, complete with what appears to be green blood-like fluids in-between the two halves. | |

Out-of-Character Moment | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_8ca20b69 | comment |
Out-of-Character Moment: Meta Knight is surprisingly hostile in Revenge of Meta Knight, compared to his usual Worthy Opponent self. Apparently, this was partly due to the translation, partly due to his ulterior motive of fixing the "corruption" in Dream Land, and partly due to Characterization Marches On. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_8cb1a369 | comment |
Took a Level in Jerkass: Meta Knight. His motives were always somewhat ambiguous, but in Revenge of Meta Knight, he intends to take over Dream Land, directly threatening Kirby in the process. This is part Characterization Marches On and part American Kirby Is Hardcore, as the localization took his already-shady morals and made them more explicitly villainous. Kirby Star Allies mentions that Meta Knight secretly has a vain streak deep in his heart, which likely explains why he appears so ruthless here. | |

Wham Episode: Specifically for the rivalry between Kirby and King Dedede. Revenge of the King, as well as the entirety of Ultra itself, is the final game where King Dedede serves as the Big Bad knowingly and cognizantly, as he sees his final battle with Kirby as a way to finally settle their grudge after many battles. After his Alas, Poor Villain moment, the following games show Dedede virtually abandons any resentment or reluctance toward him and has become one of his most trusted allies. | |

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: The bosses of The Great Cave Offensive have no plot significance and only show up to fight Kirby at the end of each section. Particular mention goes to Computer Virus, the boss of the Crystal area; it's an inexplicable JRPG parody that has no business being down there. Similarly, Wham Bam Rock, the final boss, isn't even hinted to exist until you meet it. It even gets degraded in Milky Way Wishes. | |

The Bus Came Back: The fourth boss of Revenge of the King is Kabula (a.k.a. Kaboola), a character from Kirby's Dream Land that was dropped in Spring Breeze and hasn't been seen since its very brief cameo in the Super Famicom version of Kirby's Star Stacker, over ten years prior. Sword Knight had been dropped from the original Super Star, leaving Blade Knight as the main enemy carrying the Sword ability. In between Super Star and Ultra, the anime made both knight enemies Meta Knight's valets, and accordingly Meta Knightmare Ultra brings Sword back alongside Blade as helpers. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Going from playing Super Star to Ultra can be quite difficult control-wise. In the original, it used the classic SNES control scheme of B being jump and Y attack, with A being used to summon a helper. In Ultra, they went for control consistency with the GBA games and Squeak Squad, having B as attack and A as jump (with X being used to create a helper). It can also be tricky if you, say, play Ultra first and then play the original on something like Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition. This is addressed in later Kirby games starting with Kirby Star Allies, which include both control styles (with the DS-style controls as the default Type A and the SNES-style controls as Type B). Going to either version from other games in the series can result in unavoidable deaths due to pressing the Jump button a second time to start floating rather than the Up button like previous games did. Some later games allow either, so those used to the older games that skipped Super Star are likely to flub when they finally try it out. | |

Big Bad | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_970c790a | comment |
Except for Milky Way Wishes, the plots of most games never get really complex. In fact, most of their descriptions are little more than "There's a Big Bad causing trouble! Go stop it!" Then again, Kirby doesn't need much motivation anyway.note The events of Kirby: Squeak Squad happen because Kirby thought the eponymous gang had stolen his strawberry shortcake. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: The Suplex, Jet, and Ninja powers are very difficult to use effectively, especially against bosses, but do crazy damage. Suplex in particular, because bosses can't be grabbed — meaning you have to either grapple any debris the boss creates, or spam Pinpoint Kick. It's awkward and requires a lot of precise maneuvering, but most bosses go down from two or three wrestling moves. This means Bugzzy isn't such a bad choice for Helper to Hero... until you reach Computer Virus, that is. As far as helpers go, T.A.C. is by far the most useful, especially against bosses. While normally he can shoot his arm out as a projectile to copy a foe's ability, most bosses don't have Copy Abilities, so it deals damage instead. It's a bit unwieldy to use, but it's very effective if used properly since it can be charged up for quite a bit of damage (but it's not as effective in the air due to the charge time). From there, it can defeat several bosses in seconds. This makes him a surprisingly effective choice for clearing The Arena and Helper to Hero. He even has a guard that makes him completely invulnerable to damage by blending in with the background as an added bonus. | |

A Day in the Limelight: Two of the additional games in Ultra: Meta Knightmare Ultra involves playing through the original games as Meta Knight to train himself and eventually fight the most powerful warrior in the galaxy. Helper to Hero is a reimagining of The Arena which gives the 20 helpers in the game the opportunity to prove themselves as being more than just Kirby's sidekicks. | |

American Kirby Is Hardcore | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_9d09bf1a | comment |
American Kirby Is Hardcore: Zigzagged with the Revenge of Meta Knight mode, which received some minor changes seemingly to make it more "hardcore"—the most notable of which is the name itself (from "Meta Knight's Counterattack"). A fairly innocuous "Let us duel!" was replaced with "Prepare to Die!", pointedly avoiding one of Nintendo's stricter rules at the time. Inversely, a line where Meta Knight coldly insults his crew for dying on a sinking ship in their single-minded pursuit of Kirby was replaced with one where he agrees to their plan and thanks them for their loyalty. Both of these changes were reverted for Ultra; the earlier line became "come meet your doom!" Even Meta Knight's stated motivation is changed to make him sound more villainous: | |

Arc Villain | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_ad9559e6 | comment |
Arc Villain: Due to the way the game is structured, every mode has a clear standalone antagonist: King Dedede is the villain of "Spring Breeze" and "Gourmet Race", in which his gluttony inspires him to steal all the food in Dream Land. He later returns in "Revenge of the King", hoping to settle his rivalry with Kirby once and for all. "Dyna Blade" has the eponymous bird, who has been ruining Dream Land's crops. Surprisingly averted in "The Great Cave Offensive", as Kirby is only exploring a cave and searching for treasure. All enemies he comes across, including the last boss, are simply monsters that inhabit the underground complex. "Revenge of Meta Knight" has the eponymous knight, who wishes to take over Dream Land in order to put an end to its inhabitants' "lazy lifestyle". "Milky Way Wishes" has Marx, the person responsible for getting the Sun and the Moon to fight each other. "Meta Knightmare Ultra" introduces Galacta Knight, a legendary warrior who had been sealed away due to his destructive powers. He is summoned by Nova so Meta Knight can test his strength. | |

Bootstrapped Leitmotif | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_af21be25 | comment |
Bootstrapped Leitmotif: In Kirby's Dream Land, the Mint Leaf power-up had a specific theme associated with it; since you had to fight Kaboola using it, the theme played for the entire boss fight, overriding the usual boss theme. In Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kabula's boss battle uses a remix of the Mint Leaf's theme despite Kirby not using the power-up, making it Kabula's personal theme. This association would be retained in Kirby: Planet Robobot and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. | |

The line appears in the subgame's intro, but in the original game, the cutscene only plays when lingering on the game's title screen and so is easily missed. It plays automatically in Ultra. | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_b8f5a02 | comment |
Nonstandard Character Design: Wham Bam Rock is claymation-style, unlike other characters. This made his design from the original Super Star resemble something like Blackface. His Ultra appearance looks more like a stone relief, while Wham Bam Jewel somewhat resembles its original design, but with fangs and a third eye. | |

Boss-Altering Consequence | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_b915b765 | comment |
Boss-Altering Consequence: The game has two battles that can be beaten by picking up some Invincible Candy prior and entering the battle with the invincibility still in effect: Mr. Frosty in Float Islands and Chef Kawasaki in Peanut Plains. The Bonkers battle in Sub-Tree can end just as soon as it starts if you destroy the bridge Bonkers is supposed to land on before he spawns, causing him to fall down the bottomless pit to his doom. If the bridge is destroyed too late, then Bonkers will just leap onto solid ground. | |

Compressed Adaptation | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_bdc94cd9 | comment |
Compressed Adaptation: Spring Breeze (a remake of Kirby's Dream Land) removes Castle Lololo, as well as Kabula, the original boss of Float Islands (Lololo and Lalala take her place). The boss rush preceding Dedede from the original game is also cut out, likely due to the Arena making it redundant. Kabula does return in the remake's Revenge of the King, which is inspired by Dream Land's extra mode. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Capsule J enemy, which provided the Jet ability, was pretty much Konami's TwinBee character with a minor cosmetic difference. Apparently, the resemblance was so close that Ultra changed Capsule J into an enemy called Capsule J2. The cast call in the ending sequence for Revenge of Meta Knight is a rather conspicuous one to the credits sequence in Lupin III: Part 1. | |

Death of a Thousand Cuts | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_cadf2d2a | comment |
The Suplex, Jet, and Ninja powers are very difficult to use effectively, especially against bosses, but do crazy damage. Suplex in particular, because bosses can't be grabbed — meaning you have to either grapple any debris the boss creates, or spam Pinpoint Kick. It's awkward and requires a lot of precise maneuvering, but most bosses go down from two or three wrestling moves. This means Bugzzy isn't such a bad choice for Helper to Hero... until you reach Computer Virus, that is. | |

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_cce399 | comment |
This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Copy, while normally a completely-useless and redundant ability, has a few hidden strengths. Using it on Scarfies, which can't be inhaled, grants you the all-powerful Crash ability. It can be used to damage bosses and mid-bosses since it otherwise would hamper Kirby's ability to damage them. Also, in Milky Way Wishes (where Kirby's Copy Ability doesn't work), Copy becomes much more useful; for this reason, it's well-hidden on the secret planet "?". | |

Company Cross References | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_d9e48d0 | comment |
Company Cross References: This is the first game where Kirby gains Link's signature green cap when copying the Sword ability, as well as Sword Beams at full health. According to the developers, they were returning the favor for Kirby's guest appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Likewise, the Yo-yo ability seems to be based on Ness, right down to the ability's background resembling EarthBound's menu screen. HAL Laboratory helped develop EarthBound in part. Several Super Mario Bros. characters appear at the sides of King Dedede's arena and in Megaton Punch. The Stone ability can rarely turn into golden statues of Mario or Samus. Several treasures in The Great Cave Offensive refer to other Nintendo games, including the Screw Ball (Screw Attack), Bucket, Falcon Helmet, Turtle Shell (Koopa Shell), Mr. Saturn, Kong's Barrel, and Triforce.note As the Fire Emblem series was not yet localized outside Japan by the time of Super Star, the Falchion was changed to the generic "Sword" in the English version. This was changed back in Ultra. In Ultra, several items were replaced with more references, such as the Zebra Mask with the Phanto Mask, the Nunchucks with the (Hydra) Machine Parts, Summertime with the Power Paintbrush, the Dud with the Cell Phone, Autumntime with Three-Star Cane, and Wintertime with the Gold Watering Can. Another Mario reference that appears in Ultra: in Revenge of the King, Kabula fires what seems to be Bullet Bills during the boss fight. Moto Shotzo, a tank-like enemy found on the battleship Halberd, is based on Trax, the titular character of a Game Boy shooter game that HAL Laboratory created in 1991. | |

Evil Plan: Marx lampshades this (by going over what he did after he wished to rule Popstar) near the end of Milky Way Wishes, though this is only apparent in the Japanese version and Ultra. | |

Franchise Codifier | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_f470199 | comment |
Franchise Codifier: While Kirby has long been known for its diversity in direction, it was Super Star that defined the series going forward. Taking the basic Power Copying gameplay established by Adventure, it introduced the series-staple hats for Copy Abilities and greatly expanded their movesets, setting the stage for more focus on combat and action. It also has a unique "compilation" format with multiple smaller games rather than one big game — while this format hasn't been repeated, the series would take inspiration from it to introduce additional side modes in later games. Lastly, it codified the series' recurring Boss Rush mode, The Arena, where you're given your choice of Copy Ability at the beginning and a rest area with healing items between each round. Later Kirby games would take heavy influence from the groundwork laid by Super Star, especially from Kirby's Return to Dream Land onward. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Ultra retranslates Meta Knight's death threat as "Come meet your doom!!" On the SNES, it was "Prepare to die!" This is actually closer in spirit to the original Japanese line, which was "Let us duel!" One of Meta Knight's earlier lines was retranslated to include the word "perish", though. | |

Vignette Episode: Unlike most games in the series that have one straightforward plot, this game features multiple modes that each contain their own little story and a unique set of rules to boot. | |

Prepare to Die | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_fa4a59a3 | comment |
Prepare to Die: Meta Knight originally says this to Kirby before their duel in the Revenge of Meta Knight, but not in the Japanese version, and not in Super Star Ultra. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_fc07d409 | comment |
Hopeless Boss Fight: When facing against Heavy Lobster in Revenge of Meta Knight the first time. Granted, it's only meant to distract you long enough to be blown away by the time the ship launches. Technically, it is possible to destroy it before the cutscene of the boss battle ends, but that doesn't do anything to said cutscene (not even an acknowledgement from the ship's crew). | |

Department of Redundancy Department | |
| Kirby Super Star (Video Game) / int_fc151e9d | comment |
Department of Redundancy Department: If you copy the abilities of the enemy T.A.C., you'll gain the power Copy, which... allows you to copy the abilities of an enemy, which would be great if that was not Kirby's default superpower. It's not entirely useless, but the times it is useful are highly situational (e.g. Milky Way Wishes). It's also unusual in that its scan can damage objects and larger enemies and bosses that are immune to Kirby's standard inhale. On the other hand, making a T.A.C. helper effectively gives a second player the ability to copy (and discard) powers at will as well. | |

The core of Nova is represented by a floating pink Heart Symbol. Kirby must literally destroy Nova's heart to stop it from granting Marx's wish for world domination. | |
