Star Allies Sparkler

The Star Allies Sparkler is a Friend Ability and Final Weapon that acts as Kirby and his three allies' method of transportation and weapon in the battle against the first and third phases of Void Termina in Kirby Star Allies.

General Information
The Star Allies Sparkler is an advanced version of the Friend Star that is created after Hyness revives Void Termina using the Jamba Hearts. It is used in the first and third phases, which are played in a 3D arena. The Star Allies Sparkler can jump or move normally, and can fire short bursts of light that can be charged. It is used solely in the final battle against Void Termina. In the "The Ultimate Choice" subgame, sometimes Void Termina fires down arrows of light, which switches the view to a top-down angle. In phases two and four of the fight, the battle shifts to the standard Kirby boss style.

Physical Appearance
The weapon's body is shaped as a star cut vertically in half, with a star filling the gap. The sparkler is decorated with brightly-colored objects that look like feathers, and the middle point of each star half is branded with an insignia that may represent the Star Allies themselves. While controlling it, Kirby wears a heart-shaped visor over his eyes.

Trivia
The design may reference Kirby's Dreamland 3. The main collectibles in that game were the Heart Stars, which eventually fused into the Love-Love Stick to defeat Dark Matter., The main body of the Star Allies Sparkler is a combination of a star and a heart. The final boss also takes a form that resembles Dark Matter, what the Love-Love Stick was intended to defeat, which furthers the relation.
 * The Star Allies Sparkler is much like the Halberd was in Kirby Planet Robobot in the final battle against Star Dream; both are shooter-styled weapons that doubles as a vehicle, and is used exclusively in the final fight.
