Warp Star: Difference between revisions

The '''Warp Star''' ({{ja|ワープスター}},　''wāpu sutā'') is an item 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. 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. 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. It Melee, it could travel farther left or right, which often results with jaded Brawl players to sd. A factor that most people forget is that the player is invincible while "on" the warpstar.
