Dark Star is the secret final level of Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards that only appears once Kirby collects all seventy-two of the Crystal Shards hidden throughout each stage. Within the core of Dark Star resides , the presence that both possessed the Fairy Queen and was behind the shattering of the Crystal. It is similar to Hyper Zone in Kirby's Dream Land 3, where Zero is fought.

Once Miracle Matter is defeated with all Crystal Shards collected, the Dark Matter cloud surrounding Ripple Star leaves and explodes. However, the completed Crystal shoots a beam of light at the Fairy Queen, exorcising another force that appears to be more Dark Matter. This new Dark Matter leaves Ripple Star and expands in size, forming Dark Star. Kirby takes out his Cell Phone and summons the Warp Star to transport him and his friends to Dark Star.

Dark Star has one stage, consisting of a few rooms and then the final boss. The only type of ground in Dark Star is hexagonal tiled platforms of various colors (mostly red and yellow). The background is dark red with ribbons of dark energy, making it red and black; the only enemies found within Dark Star are N-Zs. Kirby gets help from Waddle Dee, Adeleine, and King Dedede on his way towards the one controlling the Dark Matter. Waddle Dee opens up a path by bursting out of the ground, breaking one of the hexagonal platforms that amass Dark Star. Adeleine gives Kirby a Maxim Tomato if he needs health or a 1UP if his health is full. King Dedede launches Kirby up into the battle with 0² via a seesaw-type mechanism, and the final battle commences. Once 0² is defeated, Dark Star explodes and seemingly nothing is left of it, in similar fashion to Hyper Zone.
