Dark Star (Kirby)

This article is about the final stage in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. For the boss in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, see Dark Star (Mario).

Dark Star is a location in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. It is a planet-sized mass of Dark Matter that that contains the core and hive leader of all the Dark Matter Zero-Two. Dark Star serves as the final level in the game, and can be visited only when Kirby collects every Crystal Shard in the game.

Planetary Data

Dark Star has a no albedo whatsoever, since it is purely black on the outside, hence its name. The planet's size is unknown, but judging by how it covered a huge chunk of Ripple Star's atmosphere as Ribbon watched the planet's creation, Dark Star can be assumed to be very large, about Jupiter's size in order for the planet's disk to be visible at that distance.

Not much is known about the planet's atmosphere, which obscures the surface from view, but Dark Star's insides are a roiling chaos of reds, blacks, and purples. The planet's gravity seems to match Pop Star's.

Dark Star's surface has technically never been seen.

Basically, the only enemies you can find are a bunch of N-Zs, leading up to the final battle with Zero Two. Once Zero Two is destroyed, Dark Star collapses, unable to remain solid without it's hive brain.
