Galactic Nova

"3....2....1....GO!"

- Nova

The great galactic comet, Nova, is a giant clockwork comet made out of random pieces of debris and machinery that can grant wishes when summoned that appears in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra. He can only be summoned by gathering the stars from the surrounding planets. He was summoned by Kirby to make peace between the sun and moon, who were fighting at the time. When Kirby was about to make his wish, Marx knocked Kirby aside and wished control over Pop Star. Nova begins a collision course towards Pop Star to fulfill Marx's wish. The sun and moon hold Nova back, giving Kirby enough time to enter the mechanism with the Star Chariot and head towards his heart. Nova's heart serves as a boss battle which involves shooting at the pillars surrounding Nova's actual heart. After all of the pillars are destroyed, Nova short circuits and the left side of his body stops working. After Kirby beats Marx, he flies into the destroyed part of Nova, thus causing a chain reaction that blows them both up. Nova was seemingly destroyed, as his body shatters to pieces, but Marx on the other hand just barely survived. By merging himself with the wreckage of Nova, Marx becomes the powerful Marx Soul.

Sometime after Marx returned to life, Meta Knight restored Nova to life and used him to wish to fight Galacta Knight.

Physical Appearance
Nova is a large mechanical comet made in the shape of a pocket watch. Nova's center is designed to look like a sun, and he has a shooting star above his left eye. His eyes are large and pale blue in color. All around the edges of Nova are random items. Going clockwise the items are: a weathervane, a telescope, a wind-up key, a drafting compass, a globe (strangely absent in Super Star Ultra's official art), two Christmas tree lights, a pendulum, a pocket watch, a triangle ruler, several piano keys, a compass, and a light bulb. Nova has two blue eyes and a cat-like mouth. Nova has a small hole on the upper right corner of his face (made larger after Kirby defeats his heart). The back of him shows four nozzles from his main engine cluster.
