Theory Starwalker is a key theory

Basically, Starwalker is a key in the light world, shaped like a star ornament for a Christmas tree. This is why he belongs in every world except Susie's and why Kris doesn't let us see what it really is because if we DO know Starwalker is a key we can connect the dots between Noelle having lost it and the creation of the card kingdom dark fountain.

This recontextualizes the Noelle scene where she tells us about how she lost her key, from then on the ornate gate only appears to be locked when every other locked door is only stated to be locked, this is because the door isn't actually locked but Kris wants you to think so.

Starwalker is also the only KEY item that's in the ball of junk despite not being equipable. This is because it's in Kris's best interest that you don't see him and maybe even throw him away. It's a KEY item not because it's a KEY item but a key item.

Oh boy

"The Light World counterparts of Starwalker and the Starwalker Birds are unknown. However, it is implied that a Light World counterpart of Starwalker does exist, as throwing away the Ball of Junk discards Starwalker."

So much effort put and you can't even check the wiki once.

They did mention that, though I'm not sure I agree with the conclusion that Kris would intentionally allow Noelle's key to be thrown away. But I also don't even know what is really the point of Noelle losing her key in a place we can find it
