Kirby on a Warp Star from "Kirby of the Stars". A Warp Star is a broad yellow five-pointed star-shaped object which travels at high speed through the air, and acts as Kirbyy's primary means of transportation. First appearing in Kirby's Dream Land the Warp Star is a mainstay in the series, appearing in some form in nearly every game. During gameplay, Warp Stars are used to carry Kirby and/or other characters from one section of a stage or level to another. This Kirby model includes a clear vertical post so that Kirby appears to be floating in the air.
