The Star Rod, the first Final Weapon in the Kirby series.
Final Weapons are weapons and abilities commonly obtained by Kirby during a game's climax, intended to be used during the Final Boss fight. These are usually incredibly powerful and typically tied to the game's story in some way. Some of them require assembly before they can be used.

Trivia
- In Kirby games directed by Shinya Kumazaki, Final Weapons are typically abilities or weapons Kirby has used before the final boss fight. Aside from Halberd Mode, which is a new Mode for a machine Kirby used throughout the game, the Starship is the outlier--this can be attributed to Kirby Super Star Ultra being a remake of a game originally made by another director.
