| First appearance | Super Smash Bros. Melee (2001) |
| Latest appearance | Super Smash Bros. Brawl (as an item) |
The Warp Star is a common item in the Kirby series. It also makes an appearance as an item in Super Smash Bros. Melee. When a character grabs one, he/she will fly up into the air, and then crash right back down, making an explosion that damages other players, but not the warp star-player. The Warp Star has been confirmed to be reappearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
A Warp Star also appears in the Subspace Emissary of 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 Battleship Halberd, and are forced to land on it.
Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Melee
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.
Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
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.
Trivia
- The Warp Star appears in Nintendo Monopoly, as a station. It takes the place B&O Railroad, and costs $200.
