Kirby’s Warp Star Ride Coloring Page

Kirby riding his Warp Star is one of the most iconic images from the Nintendo games, and it translates beautifully to a coloring page. The simple, rounded shapes make it approachable for younger colorists, while the streaming motion lines and star details give older kids something to work with. There’s something joyful about that little pink puffball zooming through space on his trusty star.

What colors work best?

The classic look uses bubble-gum pink for Kirby and a sunny yellow for the Warp Star, but you can branch out from there. Try a deep purple or navy background to make Kirby really pop against a space setting. The motion trails behind the star look great in lighter yellows, oranges, or even silvery whites. Some people like to add a subtle gradient to Kirby himself, going from darker pink on the shadowed side to almost peachy pink where light would hit. For a dreamier look, consider pastel backgrounds in lavender or soft blue.

Did you know?

The Warp Star has been Kirby’s main mode of transportation since the very first Kirby’s Dream Land game in 1992. In the games, Kirby can actually summon the Warp Star by using a special phone-like device, though it often appears on its own when he needs it most. The Warp Star isn’t just fast—it’s capable of interstellar travel, which is how Kirby gets between different planets in his adventures.

How to color this one

Markers work really well for Kirby’s smooth, rounded body since you want that even coverage. Colored pencils are better for the motion lines and star trails where you might want to vary the pressure for a streaky, speed effect. If you’re using crayons, try layering different shades of pink for Kirby to add dimension. Don’t forget about the white highlights—leaving small areas uncolored on Kirby’s body and the star makes them look shiny and three-dimensional. The background is where you can go wild with blending techniques.

Who’ll love this?

Nintendo fans of any age will recognize this scene immediately. It works well for kids who find super-detailed coloring pages frustrating, since the shapes are forgiving and fun. This is also nice for adults who want a nostalgic coloring session without the commitment of an intricate mandala—you can finish it in one sitting while rewatching your favorite show.
