Rock Star (Horobita Star, or "Perished Star," in the Japanese version) is the second planet visited by Kirby and Ribbon in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

Rock Star is mostly made up of rocks, sand, and spaceships, but has a few water and grass areas. The most cooled area would be the underground river.

From space, the planet looks unstable; the broken pieces are constantly pulled together and pushed apart by their own gravity as if some cataclysm tore it apart some time ago. This was reflected in the planet's Japanese name, but the meaning was lost in translation. The planet's surface are dotted with ruins, remains of an ancient civilization. Eventually Kirby finds Pix's spaceship deep in the desert. Its technology is very advanced, but its pyramidal shape hints at some connection with the ruins.

PlotEdit

Rock Star is the second planet visited by Kirby and his friends. After defeating Pix, Kirby and co. journey into the harsh desert; Kirby falls and is unable to go on due to his hunger. Adeleine solves the problem by painting food and giving it to everyone. The Crystal Shard opens the portal to Aqua Star, and all jump in except for Kirby, who is still eating a cake. King Dedede pulls Kirby in, shocking him and making him drop his food.

LevelsEdit

Level 1Edit

The first level of Rock Star is in a desert. Kirby eventually makes it into a ruins with a face that resembles Kabu, as well as a chamber with faces that also resemble Kabu (which pour sand out of their mouths, filling the room with sand). There are 4 areas and 1 mid-boss.

Crystal ShardsEdit

In the last area of the level, there is a sphinx head near the beginning of the area. Its nose is yellow and brown, indicating it has to be broken with Electric Rock. Kirby must either enter the level with Spark and combine it with a Cairn, or swallow the Cairn and combine it with the Sparky near the very end of the level.

Level 2Edit

This area has ruins in the middle of what it appears to be an oasis. Unlike the rest of the areas in Rock Star, this area isn't a cave or desert-like in any part of it. There are 6 areas.

Crystal ShardsEdit

In the section with several Mumbies and Ghost Knights, there is a large central structure. Kirby must go over it and then take a left into the center of it. In what appears to be a sealed-off floor, he has to stand in the middle to get the shard.
In the next room with a bunch of Noos, Kirby must go to the very middle and jump down to find the shard in the air over the pit.
When in the section with King Dedede, Kirby and Dedede must go through this path in the wall maze: Break the wall, up, left, up, break the wall, up, right, break the wall.

Level 4Edit

Most of the areas in this level are just sandy. In the middle of the desert there is a large prism-shaped building. Inside of it there are many puzzles and obstacles. There are 7 areas and 1 mid-boss. This black building (actually a spaceship) is thought to be the same one from level 6 of Sand Canyon in Kirby's Dream Land 3.

Crystal Shards:Edit

Kirby must climb up the moving blocks and there is a shard inside of a gray rectangular area.
Kirby has to use the Light Bulb combo ability in the room with Adeleine and press the buttons that correspond with the symbols in the next room. After that, a shard will appear.

In this level, Kirby starts off on a platform that keeps on moving up. The arena goes in a 360 and there are 4 different phases in the fight: The first is when the red crystal appears and moves in a circular pattern, second is when the green crystal appears and both of the crystals spin around the arena, third is when the blue crystal shows itself and all 3 move up and down in a circular motion. The fourth and final phase is when the atoms appear and the crystals begin to attack kirby.
