The Warp Star is a rounded star item that appears throughout the Kirby franchise, and it first appears in Kirby's Dream Land. It allows Kirby or another character to travel from one location to the next. A Warp Star usually disappears upon touching the ground.

Super Smash Bros. series

In the Super Smash Bros. series, starting with Super Smash Bros. Melee, Warp Stars have appeared as an item in every installment. Whenever a character grabs a Warp Star, they go up into the air and then crash down to the ground, creating an explosion that destroys the Warp Star and damages any opponent.

A Warp Star also appears in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Kirby and Peach/Zelda use it to escape from the stadium right before it is swallowed by Subspace. However, they are chased by the Halberd, and are forced to land on it.

In the World of Light in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Kirby uses a Warp Star to escape Galeem's attack in the introductory cutscene.

The Warp Star originated as Kirby's ride: it helped the ponderous puffball get around at high speed. Hop on the Warp Star in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and your character will rapidly launch up and off the screen. You'll return in a flash, causing an explosion as you hit the ground. Try holding a direction to alter your landing.

A warp-speed item. In the Kirby series, Warp Stars are used to move between stages. In Smash Bros., they're ultrafast attack items that zoom up and down to devastate anyone they hit. You can shift your landing spot by moving the Control Stick left or right during your descent. Choose your target and hang on! Don't overshoot the mark and plummet off the stage, though.

32: The Beginning of Kirby A magical transportation device that Kirby has used in the past to get around. Jumping on the Warp Star will send the character high into the sky and then crashing back down to the battlefield. Anyone caught in the path or landing spot will be sent flying, and the rider can aim a bit to the left or right in the air.
In the Kirby games, Warp Stars carry Kirby from one spot in a stage to another. In this game, pick it up to shoot high into the air and then slam back down to bowl over your opponents. You can control where you land by shifting left or right while in the air, but it takes some practice!
