4A video game created by Creator/NintendoSoftwareTechnology & published by Creator/{{Nintendo}}. It was distributed for download on the Platform/NintendoDSi's Ware & the Platform/Nintendo3DS' E-Shop. The game is only worth 200 Ware points and received little promotion, yet [[SleeperHit was one of the most critically acclaimed downloadable games on the systems]].

6Aura-Aura has fallen out of the sky & crashed onto Earth, and it is up to the player to guide him back up to space so he can become a bright shining star... [[ExcusePlot Not the most in depth of plots]].

8Gameplay consists of jumping from point to point & using Aura-Aura's Grapple Arm to latch on to them, avoiding enemies, electric fences and continuously climbing until he reaches the end point. There are 2 modes of play: Score Attack, where the player attempts to beat each of the 10 levels with the highest possible score, and Endless, where the player tries to reach the highest possible altitude within the allotted time. The following power ups can be found:
9
10* '''[[HeartsAreHealth Life Heart]]''': Grants Aura-Aura with life when he takes damage.
11* '''Level Up''': Extends the length of Aura-Aura's Grapple Arm.
12* '''Bomb''': [[SmartBomb Instantly defeats all enemies on screen]]. Also [[RocketJump launches Aura-Aura skyward]].
13* '''Bonus''': Gives Aura-Aura extra points/time, depending on the game mode.
14* '''UFO''': Gives Aura-Aura a score/time boost & a bomb.
15* '''[[InvincibilityPowerUp Super Star]]''': Makes Aura-Aura invincible, [[PowerGlows flash a rainbow of colors]], & jump higher than normal.

17!!This game has examples of these tropes.
18* CollisionDamage: Aura-Aura gets hurt when toughing enemies or yellow electrical beams.
19* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Aura-Aura will blow up if damaged too much, or if he hits the ground, see "Falling Damage" below. Justified as stars go out in Supernovae when they die.
20* FallingDamage: If Aura-Aura hits the ground and is falling fast enough, regardless of his current health, he'll die instantly.
21* [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Ridiculously Cute Star]]: Just look at those eyes!
