Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Story

On the planet Ripple Star lives a group of friendly and peaceful fairies. The planet itself is protected from danger by the power of the Great Crystal, which watches over Ripple Star. However, this power attracts the attention of Dark Matter, which wants to use the Great Crystal for its own evil plans. Their gigantic mass attacks and searches for the crystal, darkening the sky and panicking the fairies. In response to the Dark Matter threat, the Queen of Ripple Star orders a fairy named Ribbon to take the crystal to a safe place. Ribbon attempts to fly away with the crystal in tow, but is stopped by three orbs sent by Dark Matter. The crystal shatters into 74 shards that are scattered across several planets, and Ribbon crashes on the planet Popstar. Kirby finds one shard and gives it to Ribbon, after which the two set out to find the others. After Kirby and his friends collect all the crystal shards and defeat Miracle Matter, Dark Matter escapes from Ripple Star and explodes. The victory is short-lived, however, as the crystal detects a powerful Dark Matter energy presence within the Fairy Queen and expels it from her, causing her to manifest over the planet and create Dark Star. Kirby and his friends invade Dark Star and are challenged by King Dedede to fight 02. Kirby and Ribbon, armed with their Shard Gun, destroy 02 and Dark Star.
