''Kirby of the Stars'' is an anime adaptation of ''[[Kirby]]'', a [[Nintendo]] [[Platform Game]] franchise, better known in the United States by [[Completely Different Title|its dub title]], '''''Kirby: Right Back At Ya!''
In the first episode, Kirby crashes into Pop Star and lands in the country of Dream Land. [[Authority in Name Only|King Dedede]] does not like the newcomer and does everything he can to eliminate Kirby. His methods come in the form of ordering [[Monster of the Week|monsters]] from the mysterious Holy Nightmare Corporation (NightMare Enterprises in the dub) to fit whatever crazy schemes he comes up with. Along the way, Kirby befriends Fumu (Tiff), the Cabinet Minister's daughter, and her brother, Bun (Tuff), who help him to get settled in their village.
