The following section contains transcluded content from the Database. The game's main collectables are Crystal Shards (which are necessary to complete the game) and Info Cards (which detail the regular enemies in the game).Īll sub-games can be played in multiplayer, and up to four players are supported. It is also the first Kirby game to use 3D graphics, although the gameplay remains completely two-dimensional except for the final boss. Whereas in most other games Kirby is able to fly indefinitely, here he is limited to a grounded jump and a limited period of midair jumps (possibly due to a similar limitation being present in Super Smash Bros., which was released prior to Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards). The game features Kirby's signature abilities of floating, inhale, Star Spit, Slide, and Air Gun, though a few adjustments have been made to their mechanics. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is a traditional platformer Kirby game the player controls Kirby, whose objective is to get to the end of each stage through the use of Copy Abilities. Kirby and Ribbon, armed with the Crystal, destroy 0² and the Dark Star. Kirby and his friends infiltrate Dark Star, and King Dedede launches them up to challenge 0². The victory is cut short, however, as the Crystal detects a powerful presence of Dark Matter energy within the Fairy Queen and expels it from her, manifesting over the planet to create Dark Star. Once Kirby and his friends collect every Crystal Shard and defeat Miracle Matter, Dark Matter flees Ripple Star and explodes. Kirby finds one shard and gives it to Ribbon, whereupon the two set out to find the others. The Crystal shatters into 74 shards scattered throughout several planets, and Ribbon crashes onto Planet Popstar. Ribbon tries to fly away with the Crystal in tow, but is stopped by three orbs sent by Dark Matter. In response to the threat Dark Matter presents, the queen of Ripple Star orders a fairy named Ribbon to take the Crystal to a safe place. Its gigantic mass attacks and searches for the Crystal, blackening the sky and sending the fairies into panic. This power, however, draws the attention of Dark Matter, who wishes to use the great Crystal for its own evil agenda. The planet itself is protected from danger by the power of the great Crystal, which watches over Ripple Star.
On the planet of Ripple Star lives a group of kind and peaceful fairies.
But then one day, a mysterious black cloud appeared and surrounded the peaceful planet.
In a distant corner of the galaxy, fairies lived peacefully on the planet called Ripple Star.
