Starship

Starship is One of Kirby's Copy abilities.

The Starship (originally called the Star Chariot} is the ultimate Copy Ability of Kirby Super Star. It is used for the sole purpose of taking down the giant comet, NOVA, but also appears later during the battle against Kabula.

The chariot itself has the basic layout of a Roman chariot, without the wheels. However, it distinguishes itself with a star on the front and two long streamers serving as walls.

Games
The Starship's first appearance is in Kirby Super Star. It is used as the final and ultimate ability of the game, and as such, cannot be dropped (similar to the Love-Love Stick and the Star Rod). It only appears after a cut scene between Kirby and NOVA. In it, Kirby is knocked out of the way by Marx, who wishes upon NOVA for ultimate power. With NOVA under his control, Marx leaves Kirby in an extremely painful position, when the power of the Dream Fountain that Kirby had been activating created the Starship. Inside it, Kirby then stormed off to the interior of NOVA to destroy it before it reached Dreamland.

The Starship is similar to the UFO ability, but with different ammunition. The Starship fires rapid-fire star bullets, and does not need to be charged. It also accelerates Kirby at extremely high speeds. However, it is very fragile, as it takes major damage if it touches any object inside NOVA. The Starship is primarily used for the destruction of the Heart of Nova. The particular level the Starship is used resembles a shoot-em-up game, such as R-Type.

There is a helper available for the Starship. It resembles what would be a metallic Waddle Doo with a large blue 'eye'. However, this model appears less spherical, is golden, and has strange, ear-like pieces. The helper has the same properties as the Starship.

Oddly, after using the Starship to escape the exploding Heart of Nova, the Starship completely disappears in the battle against Marx. This is rectified in Kirby Super Star Ultra, where it is shown that the stars used to create the Starship disappeared, leaving only the Warpstar.
