Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards/Ripple Star 1

The first level of Ripple Star is a near-identical recreation of the first level of Pop Star, sharing the same layout, music theme, and Crystal Shard locations. The only differences are aesthetic and enemies. There is a piece of Food immediately behind where Kirby starts. The first area is a straight-forward path with several enemies. At the end is a Maxim Tomato, followed by a boss fight with a Big Sawyer.

The Big Sawyer will go underground and come back up in different places. Bronto Burts will appear during the fight and fly toward Kirby.

The third area is another long path of enemies. In the garden area, there are two Food items and Shotzos on Star Blocks. The end of the level has another Maxim Tomato.

Shards

1. The first Crystal Shard is in the open of the first area, between two Ghost Knights.
2. The second Crystal Shard appears after defeating the Big Sawyer.
3. The third Crystal Shard is under a rock in the river of the third area. The Needle-Bomb ability is required to break it.
