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 ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' that allows players to crash-land on their opponents. Kirby rides on it in his [[on-screen appearance]] in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate''.

==Origin==
[[File:Kirbystar.jpg|left|thumb|The Warp Star in ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Star Allies}}''.]]
The Warp Star has a very large role in the {{uv|Kirby}} series. It has appeared in nearly every single ''Kirby'' game to date. In every one, it has served as [[Kirby]]'s mode of transportation. When he touches the Warp Star, Kirby flies it high off the screen, then "crashes" back down in another location. In various games, Kirby is able to summon it with a cell phone. It is stated in the [[wikirby:Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|anime]] and implied in ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby & The Amazing Mirror}}'' that a Warp Star is the trademark of a hero.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
[[File:KirbyOnScreenAppearanceSSB.gif|thumb|left|Kirby's on-screen appearance in ''SSB''.]]

{{SSB|Kirby}}'s [[on-screen appearance]] has him crash-land with the Warp Star into the stage.

==''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==

When picked up, the Warp Star 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]]. 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. A player is invincible while riding on the Warp Star; if it hits a [[Flipper]], it will pass through it.

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.

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 [[Icicle Mountain]], can even cause an [[SD]]).

The crash landing can [[meteor smash]] those hit. Characters riding on Warp Stars can also bounce on shells if they land precisely on them.

===Trophy===
The Warp Star appears as one of the unlockable trophies.

|desc=The Warp Star originated as Kirby's ride: it helped the ponderous puffball get around at high speed. Hop on the Warp Star in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and your character will rapidly launch up and off the screen. You'll return in a flash, causing an explosion as you hit the ground. Try holding a direction to alter your landing!

==''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
[[File:Luigi star.jpg|thumb|The explosion caused by the Warp Star in ''Brawl''.]]
{{SSBB|Kirby}}'s on-screen appearance once again has him crash-land with the Warp Star, as in ''Smash 64''.

The Warp Star item acts the same as it did in ''Melee''. The Warp Star's ability to travel left and right before landing seems to have been diminished from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl''.

|desc-ntsc=A warp-speed item. In the Kirby series, Warpstars 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.

==''Super Smash Bros. 4''==
{{SSB4|Kirby}}'s on-screen appearance with the Warp Star once again return, being practically unaltered from ''Brawl''.

The Warp Star item acts the same as it did in ''Brawl''.

===In [[Smash Run]]===
One of the possible choices for the final battle is ''Warp Star Smash'', where only Warp Star items spawn.

===In [[Smash Tour]]===
''Warp Star Smash'' is a possible battle type, functioning similarly to its usage in Smash Run.

===Trophy===
In {{Forwiiu}}, the Warp Star trophy is part of the ''The Beginning of Kirby'' [[Trophy Box]].

Jumping on the Warp Star will send the character high into the sky and then crashing back down to the battlefield. Anyone caught in the path or landing spot will be sent flying, and the rider can aim a bit to the left or right in the air.

|desc-pal=In the Kirby series, Warp Stars carry Kirby from one spot in a stage to another. In this game, pick it up to shoot high into the air and then slam back down to bowl over your opponents. You can control where you land by shifting left or right while in the air, but it takes some practice!

==''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
[[File:SSBUWebsiteJigglypuff6.jpg|thumb|Jigglypuff on a Warp Star in ''Ultimate''.]]
The Warp Star once again appears as part of {{SSBU|Kirby}}'s on-screen appearance.

The Warp Star item has been changed slightly from ''Smash 4''. The attack remains the same, but the Warp Star can now be made to descend earlier or later by holding down or the standard attack button, or up or one of the shield buttons, respectively.

In [[World of Light]], the Warp Star is the key to Kirby's survival from [[Galeem]]'s attack. By stretching the star to its limit, Kirby is able to warp away from the deadly beams of light in the nick of time.

===Spirit===
The Warp Star also appears as an Advanced-class [[support spirit]]. It can only be purchased at [[Master Spirit|Funky Kong's Shack]] for 1,000 SP.

==Trivia==
*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.
*In early versions of ''SSB4'', [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMkF8JKAa50#t=70 a glitch could occur] when using a Warp Star, in which the game thought the Warp Star was a platform going over the upper blast line, KO'ing the user.
