Warp Star

The Warp Star is a star-shaped transportation vehicle that Kirby and his friends ride on when they have to go somewhere that is too far away for them to reach. The Warp Star is able to fly quickly and can function by itself. Kirby is well known and the first to ride the Warp Star in the Kirby video game and anime series.

In video games, the Warp Star appears whenever Kirby has reached in a far enough place that leads to nowhere thus letting Kirby ride it to travel to another location.

In the anime Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, the Warp Star is the source of Kirby's power, however, because of his age and inexperience, Kirby cannot summon it himself. Tiff, because of her connection to Kirby, becomes the Warp Star's keeper and summons it on his behalf. When not in use the Warp Star shrinks down to the size of a small medallion.

Kirby initially keeps the Warp Star in a small box inside of his starship, after Kirby's starship is shot down by King Dedede, Tiff hid the Warp Star inside Kabu. In the later stages of the anime's run, Nightmare Enterprises manages to badly damage the Warp Star and Kabu reveals that he was initially built as a safe house for use by the Star Warriors and is capable of making repairs to the Warp Star.

They eventually find the Warp Star's hiding place in Kabu, which Nightmare's Destroya promptly attacks, but Kirby is able to defend Kabu using the Crash ability. In its final appearance, Tiff summoned the Warp Star in Kirby's dreams to help fight Nightmare, but instead of riding it, Kirby inhaled it, giving him the Star Rod ability.
