Originating from the {{uv|Kirby}} universe, the Star Rod acts as an unusual combination of both battering and projectile items. | ||

In its original appearance, the Star Rod acts as the primary power source of the [[Fountain of Dreams]], and without it, people are unable to properly sleep or dream. Although initially broken into seven shards by [[King Dedede]], Kirby restores the Star Rod, only to discover that Dedede had shattered the Star Rod in order to prevent the main villain of the game, [[Nightmare]], from taking over the Fountain of Dreams; directly after this, Kirby is then tasked with using the Star Rod in order to defeat Nightmare, which he successfully performs. | ||
As a weapon in ''Kirby's Adventure'', Kirby is officially stated to have the "Star Rod" Copy Ability, though Kirby does not need to actually [[Inhale (Kirby)|swallow]] the object to gain the ability. While wielding the Star Rod, Kirby is not only able to utilize the Star Rod as a battering item not unlike Sword Kirby, but also as a projectile weapon that shoots stars, similar to Laser Kirby. | As a weapon in ''Kirby's Adventure'', Kirby is officially stated to have the "Star Rod" Copy Ability, though Kirby does not need to actually [[Inhale (Kirby)|swallow]] the object to gain the ability.

As a battering item, combatants can use the Star Rod to directly hit opponents up close. Using either [[smash attack]]s or [[tilt]]s, however, cause the Star Rod to shoot out long-range stars that can hit opponents from a distance; in close ranges, a direct hit from the Star Rod can potentially hit opponents directly into the resultant star. Particularly powerful variants are found with the forward smashes of [[Captain Falcon]], [[Marth]], [[Sheik]], [[Pit]] and [[Ike]]; due to their non-standard forward smash animations with items, the five can fire off more than one shot at a time with a single smash attack, with Falcon's attacks shooting off 5 stars and Sheik's firing off 2 stars. The item, however, has only sixteen stars, and using either of the two aforementioned characters can cause the item to quickly deplete its ammunition. This mechanic has been removed in | As a battering item, combatants can use the Star Rod to directly hit opponents up close.

A more practical option, however, is to throw the item towards enemies; the Star Rod, when thrown, produces a powerful [[semi-spike]], which can potentially [[gimp]] recoveries or act as a general KO move. A thrown Star Rod cannot be powershielded. When a thrown Star Rod gets reflected, it does not travel far enough to hit the original attacker, unless they are close enough to the reflector's user. | ||

''This magic wand holds 16 star shots and sends foes flying at a low angle when thrown. It's most powerful when Captain Falcon or Sheik performs a Smash Attack while holding it.

''A magic wand. Perform a standard attack with it, and it's a battering weapon. Perform a strong or smash attack, and it fires a barrage of star shots. Throw it at a foe, and that opponent will get sent flying sideways. In the Kirby series, the Star Rod is the power source of the Fountain of Dreams. King Dedede once stole it to imprison the Nightmare Wizard.'' | |||
