There is a high score table for the Challenge and Time Attack modes, showing the top three scores for each mode.

Time Attack - eliminate as many stars as possible in three minutes.

Like Round Clear, in-game artwork is awarded depending on the number of stars collected, often encouraging the player to try harder next time (until the final picture is received). The object is to eliminate as many stars as possible before the stack of blocks reaches the top of the screen a hand raises up the set of blocks, introducing a new row.

VS - the multiplayer mode, which requires two cartridges of the game, one for each player.

When each round is cleared, the player is rewarded with special artwork using the themes of each stage. Each stage takes on a theme, such as a forest or outer space. Rounds are cleared by eliminating a set number of stars.

Round Clear - this is the main game, split into five difficulty modes (Normal, Hard, Very Hard, Super Hard, and Insane), each with a certain number of rounds.

There are four game modes in Star Stacker. The game is lost when the falling blocks reach the top of the play area (middle rows only), so it is critical to eliminate as many blocks as possible by scoring stars. When stars are scored, they disappear from the play area along with the pair of blocks enclosing them. Stars are scored by sandwiching the stars between two matching blocks. There are three types of blocks, all based on Kirby's friends from Kirby's Dream Land 2: Rick the hamster, Coo the owl, and Kine the fish. The goal of the game is to earn as many stars possible by matching pairs of blocks (also referred to as friends in-game) that fall from the top of the play area. Kirby's Star Stacker is similar in many respects to other puzzle games that were around at the time of its release, most notably Dr.
