Sparkling Star

A Sparkling Star is a key item found only in Kirby's Dream Land and it's remake Spring Breeze in Kirby Super Star and Super Star Ultra. They bear some resemblence to Kirby's Warp Star and allow Dream Land's residents to locate food.

King Dedede steals five of them ( four in Spring Breeze) and gives them to his strongest soldiers to guard keeping one for himself. Every stage in the game has one Sparkling Star that is obtained after defeating the boss on that stage.

After Kirby collects the last Sparkling Star they all gather in his body causing Kirby to blow up to a huge size like a balloon and carry King Dedede's Castle ( full of the stolen food) back to the Dreamlanders. Once he gets there he returns to normal and the Sparkling Stars leave his body but start floating beneath the castle holding it up in the air while the food pours out of it.
