Lor Starcutter is Magolor's space ship in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It crashes on Dream Land shortly after emerging from a dark, star-shaped portal in the sky, prompting Kirby and company to stop what they're doing and investigate.
During its crash-run, its oars, wings, engines, part of its bow, and its topsail are scattered to the five corners of Pop Star, and all 120 energy spheres are lost. Kirby offers to return these to the ship, and the team leaves on their adventure while Magolor tends to the stricken ship.
Throughout the course of the game, it serves as the hub. Inside the Lor Starcutter, the player can access Sub-games, Challenge rooms, and Trial Rooms after collecting enough Energy Spheres.

History
Edit
According to Magolor, the Lor Starcutter is a Halcandran vessel that was created by an ancient people using an incredible power. Magolor found the ship buried in Dangerous Dinner and repaired and upgraded it. He mentioned that the ancient race who built the Lor Starcutter are also responsible for building the Clockwork Stars, of which he described in the same fashion as Nova from Kirby Super Star (Ultra).
The ship apparently has a mind of its own. As Another Dimension crumbles following Magolor's defeat and the Master Crown's destruction, the Lor Starcutter and Landia come back to rescue Kirby and company.
AppearanceEdit
The ship is high-tech in a blue-white color scheme. Its hull is shaped like a seafaring ship with a keel at the bottom and three oars on each side, and a topsail on a single mast. On its aft are two great wings flanking its engines.
AttacksEdit
The Lor Starcutter is fought as a boss in Another Dimension, after Magolor and the Master Crown take complete control over it. It can fire dark stars from its emblem in either a stream or fan pattern, throw its twin wings like Cutter boomerangs, project its oars as spears, and project a tornado from its mast to an edge of the screen to form a barrier.
When the Lor is at half HP, its attacks become faster and more dangerous. Lor will then appear from behind the player and fire its stars, and the wing and oar attacks become faster. Its now spins 360 degrees during its tornado attack. It projects blue and red orbs with the kind of shielding seen covering Energy Spheres and its individual parts earlier, in both straight and homing patterns. When it shields itself with it temporarily, it is invulnerable, and it attempts a ramming attack.
In Extra Mode, it uses the shield projectile and ramming attacks from the start of the fight, fires more stars, and the attacks come even faster. It uses new yellow orbs strike from the background in conjunction with the regular red and blue ones. Its tornado attack is much larger, can change directions, and sometimes stop and restart quickly. Finally, the Lor can hover in the background (hence being invulnerable) while firing a stream of stars at the player, and it performs a random follow-up attack after its ramming attack.
TriviaEdit
- The Lor's wings greatly resemble similar wing-like objects on the Starship from Kirby Super Star Ultra.
- The Lor's mast, while battling it in Another Dimension, has a picture that greatly resembles the Dark Star from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Ironically, in EX mode the picture resembles Dark Star X from the same game.
- During the fight (but not in The Arena or The True Arena), the Lor drops food and stars after being taken down to half health.
- The battle with the Lor Starcutter is similar to the fights against Nightmare's Power Orb form, Dark Mind's last form, Kabula, and Zero.
- Lor's Japanese name is Roa, while Magolor's is Mahoroa. The last three letters of Magolor's name are Lor's in both English and Japanese.
