Warp Star: Difference between revisions

The '''Warp Star''' ({{ja|ワープスター|Wāpu Sutā}}, ''Warp Star''), also formatted as '''Warpstar'''<!--in Brawl's training mode and Kirby Triple Deluxe-->, is an item appearing in ''[[Melee]]'', ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[Smash 4]]'' that, when picked up, sends a player flying off into the sky and crashing back down into the stage with an explosion that deals 22% damage and high knockback. It is possible to control the landing location by pressing left or right on the [[Control Stick]] while the player is flying. Because of this, it is possible to miss the stage and [[self-destruct]]. If a character is hit when the Warp Star is first grabbed, the item can be "dropped" before it can be used. The Warp Star can then be regrabbed and used normally. A shield will not protect against the star's impact (except for a few frames of Yoshi's shield with proper timing when he has invincibility frames), so the only way to avoid damage is to not get struck or [[sidestep]] with the correct timing. 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''. A player is invincible while riding on the Warp Star; if it hits a [[Bumper]], it will pass through it.

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

*In ''Melee'', there is a glitch that can occur when a player uses a Warp Star: If the player tries to pick up a Warp Star just as an opponent attacks the player, the Warp Star will attach itself to the player. When thrown, it will then fly off the stage. This can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA9UdtBmlSw here].

*In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the Warp Star's sound effect was changed to become the actual sound that the Warp Star makes in the ''Kirby'' series.

*In ''Brawl'', if used on the [[Shadow Moses Island]] stage while a full wall is up, it is possible to pass over the wall. The player is then stuck there until they [[self destruct]] or the wall is destroyed.
