It also may or may not be orbited by a separate 'sun', as the plot of the Kirby Super Star sub-game Milky Way Wishes begins with the problem of the sun and the moon fighting with each other. Popstar is known to have at least one moon which orbits around the planet, and it is possible that it orbits a sun. Many other locations on and above Popstar are shown throughout the main series titles, but the specific geography of locations on the planet has remained vague, never appearing to remain completely consistent.

Another country called Floralia is shown to be floating in Popstar's atmosphere in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, and is inhabited by the People of the Sky. The Mirror World entrance floats somewhere in the skies above Dream Land. The most notable area on Popstar is Dream Land, a kingdom ruled by King Dedede that serves as the home of Kirby, though how much of the planet this territory takes up is unclear. Popstar's areas seem to be divided up into a series of small, star-shaped islands (shown most clearly in a story illustration in Kirby's Super Star Stacker), though this depiction varies from game to game. It is possible that a gas in the planet's atmosphere reflects (or gives off) a yellow hue to make it appear the way it does from space. This is most notably referenced in the reactions of invaders to Kirby's presence on Popstar (such as that of Susie in Kirby: Planet Robobot), as they often question why such a powerful being lives on this remote planet.ĭespite its coloration from space, Popstar's atmosphere is remarkably Earth-like from the surface, with blue oceans and land masses similar to Earth's, as well as a wide range of climates supporting a bountiful array of life. Said to be located in Gamble Galaxy in Kirby: Squeak Squad, Popstar is considered by some to be a 'backwater planet' in the lore of the Kirby series. According to the Kirby's Adventure instruction manual, the planet is so far away from Earth that it would invisible to Earth's population. Planet Popstar is a distant planet shaped like a yellow five-pointed star, typically crossed by two white planetary rings, that is home to a majority of the main characters in the Kirby series.
