Anime Stars World List: Four Maps, One NPC and One Ground Relic Each

The four worlds named in the complete playthrough footage reviewed on September 17, 2026, with the NPC that carries each world's objective and the ground Relic attached to that map. Exact pickup routes stay on the shell location guide so this page remains a map-level reference.

Boundaries: the four names and the NPC pairing come from on-screen map labels in the reviewed footage, not from an official map list — the official Roblox description has never enumerated worlds, and the Update 6 event line (September 26, 2026, “New World + Systems + QoL”) names no map. No fifth world appeared in the footage reviewed on September 17, 2026, and no relic tier, drop rate or stat value is claimed here. For the exact Relic route, kill requirement and on-screen stat panel per world, see the shell and Relic location guide.

FAQ

Frequently Asked System Questions

How does the Defeat-to-Advance mechanic work in Anime Stars?

You must clear all enemy waves on your current island before the travel portal unlocks to transport you to the next anime world.

What challenge encounters are in Anime Stars?

Shinobi Trial and Dragon Ride encounters have been observed in gameplay footage as repeatable challenge modes.

How does the Relic crafting system work?

Find hidden ground Relics in the world (such as behind the Starter Island castle), visit the Crafting NPC in the hub to forge them, and equip them on your units.

How many maps or worlds are in Anime Stars?

Four world names are visible in the complete playthrough footage this site reviewed on September 17, 2026: World 1 Skylands, World 2 Alien Planet, World 3 Desert Village and World 4 Kingdom of Lions. Each of the four carries one NPC objective — Leopard, Kizaru, Crocodile and Fujitora respectively — and one ground Relic pickup. The developer has never published a world list in the official Roblox description, and the Update 6 (New World + Systems + QoL) event line of September 26, 2026 names no map, so treat the four names as the gameplay-observed set rather than an official roster.

Are Co-op rewards shared in Anime Stars?

The official Roblox game description states: '(All rewards are shared in co-op mode)'. Party size limits, reward distribution formulas, and clear efficiency are not documented by the developer.
