The Warp Star is a common item in the Kirby series. It first appears in the Mario series as an item in Super Smash Bros. Melee and later appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. When a character grabs one, they will fly up into the air, and then crash down to the ground, making an explosion that damages other players (except the player who used the Warp Star).
A Warp Star also appears in the Subspace Emissary mode 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 Halberd, and are forced to land on it.

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. |

GB Kirby's Dream Land | 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. |

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 of the landing spot will be sent flying, and the rider can aim a bit to the left or right in the air. |
Trivia
- The Warp Star appears in the 2006 version of Nintendo Monopoly, as a station. It takes the place B&O Railroad, and costs $200. In the 2010 version, it was replaced by a Pikmin Onion.
- In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario, Luigi, Popple and Rookie ride the Beanstar in a similar fashion to how Kirby rides Warp Stars.
- In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Mario is seen riding on a Starman in a similar fashion to the Warp Star. However, Luigi throws it like a frisby and it doesn't actually fly on its own. [1]:
