Warp Star

Warp Star.

The Warp Star is an item that sends a player flying off into the sky and crashing back down into the level when picked up. It is possible to control the landing by pressing left and right on the analog stick. It is also possible to miss the stage and self-destruct. If a character it hit hard when the Warp Star is first grabbed, the item can be "dropped" and nothing is activated. The Warp Star can then be grabbed and used normally. A shield will not protect against the star's impact, except for Yoshi's shield, so the only way to avoid damage is to not get struck. If the warp star is grabbed on a lower level of a stage with multiple vertical levels, the warp star will impact the topmost level, and the player that grabbed the star will dismount there.

• When hit, it does 22% damage.
• High knockback.

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.
