Popstar is the name of a fictional planet from Nintendo's Kirby series and the location for most of the game's and anime's events. Its location is unknown and the status of its own solar system is never really touched upon in the series, aside from there being many other planets nearby.

Popstar's appearance is that of a symbolic image of a star, with two blue rings circling it. Despite appearing completely yellow and glowing from a distance, the surface has land masses and oceans very similar to Earth's.

Popstar does appear to be at the center of its system, with the sun and moon (which are similar in size) rotating around it (In Kirby Super Star the sun and the moon actually battle each other, causing chaos on Popstar).

In the anime series, the characters commonly use the word 'star' as we might use the word 'planet', suggesting that Popstar is itself an actual star. An image from the series shows Popstar surrounded by multiple orbits, suggesting either multiple moons, or perhaps it is the sun of a solar system. It is also possible that some of the orbits are Popstar's sun and moon, keeping with the games.

Dream Land, called プププランド (Pupupuland) in the Japanese version, is a country on Popstar and also where many of the levels can be found. Its exact size and location are unknown. Its self-appointed ruler is King Dedede, and it is the location of Kirby's home.

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, Dream Land is found on a peninsula, with Dedede still appearing as king. The Dream Land is the largest continent of the planet Popstar. It can be portrayed as a large star-shaped island in the ocean, a serene and peaceful peninsula, or half of the entire planet of Popstar.
