Since Warp Stars crash into the stage from above, they can be used to "leap" to a higher part of the stage. Therefore, stages with many platforms can limit its effectiveness (and, in the case of scrolling stages with high off-screen platforms such as [[Rainbow Cruise]] or [[Rumble Falls]], can even cause an [[SD]]). The Warp Star's ability to travel left and right before landing seems to have been diminished from Melee to Brawl.

The Warp Star (ワープスター, wāpu sutā) is an item appearing in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl that sends a player flying off into the sky and crashing back down into the stage when picked up. It is possible to control the landing location by pressing left and right on the Control Stick. Because of this, it's possible to miss the stage and self-destruct. If a character is hit hard when the Warp Star is first grabbed, the item can be "dropped" before it can be used. The Warp Star can then be grabbed and used normally.

Trophy Info

A warp-speed item. In the Kirby series, Warp Stars are used to move between stages. In Smash Bros., they're ultrafast attack items that zoom up and down to devastate anyone they hit. You can shift your landing spot by moving the Control Stick left or right during your descent. Choose your target and hang on! Don't overshoot the mark and plummet off the stage, though.

  • Kirby's Adventure (1993)

Trivia

  • In Brawl, if one pauses the battle at the right moment as they go off-screen, they can see most of the stage to the point of seeing it beyond the stage's boundaries.
