This article covers a list of references to [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]] in non-Starfy games.

==Nintendo games==
This section holds information about references to [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]] in non-Starfy games published by Nintendo.

===''[[mariowiki:Donkey Konga|Donkey Konga]]''===

One of the available tracks in the Japanese version of [[Donkey Konga]] is "''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''". This is the full version of [[Becky]]'s [[Title Song (music)#Becky|version]] of the [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|series]] [[Title Song (music)|Title Song]], complete with lyrics. This song was first heard in at least two Japanese commercials for ''Densetsu no Starfy''. It was later released in the album ''[[Becky: Densetsu no Starfy]]''. The song once appeared in an episode of the Japanese television show [[Oha Suta: The Super Kids Station]], in which Becky made a guest appearance on the show to promote the sale of the album.

Alternative sound effects for the bongos based on ''Densetsu no Starfy'' are also available to buy in a Starfy Set.<ref>[https://nindb.net/gcn/donkey-konga/index.html NinDB Donkey Konga]</ref>

===''[[mariowiki:Dr. Mario & Puzzle League|Dr. Mario & Puzzle League]]''===
In ''[[mariowiki:Dr. Mario & Puzzle League|Dr. Mario & Puzzle League]]'', [http://tcrf.net/Dr._Mario_%26_Puzzle_League text] can be found in one of three "bmg" files.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/index.php?title=Dr._Mario_%26_Puzzle_League&diff=prev&oldid=142024 Einstein95, The Cutting Room Floor]</ref> This text originates from ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', specifically from the area of text from offset <tt>0x5A6AE1</tt>).

It includes a conversation with [[Starly]], Starfy and [[Moe]] where they ask Starfy if he remembers how to use his [[abilities]] or how collecting 5 [[pearl]]s restores his health by one, and say that whenever Starfy needs advice he can meet them 'at home' (whether this is referring to [[Pufftop|Pufftop Palace]] or [[Moe's House]] is unclear because the exact source of this conversation is to be determined).

The leftover ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'' text also includes debug leftovers, including test messages and text for testing functions (including color change testing, animation change testing and conversation testing).

[[Morihiro Iwamoto]] the ''The Legendary Starfy'' series composer worked on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcuoel82wi4 the music] in this game, which features similar instruments to the ''Starfy'' Game Boy Advance games.

===''[[mariowiki:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''===

[[File:Legend of Stafy Movie.PNG|frame|right|The 'Legend of Stafy' movie poster]]
[[Starfy]] makes a cameo appearance in the [[mariowiki:Yoshi Theater (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Yoshi Theater]], where he appears on the poster of a movie titled 'Legend of Stafy'. This was Starfy's first appearance outside of Japan. The artwork depicts the front cover of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''.

A similar poster is not known to appear in the Nintendo 3DS remake of the game (known as [[mariowiki:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'']]). Instead, the posters in the Yoshi Theater are replaced with posters referencing other games in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series.

===''[[Super Princess Peach]]''===
{{main|Super Princess Peach}}
[[File:SPP_Starfish.png|thumb|right|Sprite of the Starfish]]
''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' shares several similarities in gameplay with games in [[The Legendary Starfy|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]], likely because the game was developed by [[TOSE]].

Most notably, Super Princess Peach includes a [[mariowiki:Starfish|Starfish]] enemy resembling [[Starfy]] wearing sunglasses that has the glossary entry "a star-shaped foe rumored to be the prince of a kingdom?". Its glossary entry may be a referring to [[Starfy]] who is the prince of [[Pufftop]].

The fragile platforms in [[mariowiki:Shriek Mansion|Shriek Mansion]], [[mariowiki:Fury Volcano|Fury Volcano]] and [[mariowiki:Bowser's Villa|Bowser's Villa]] feature fragile platforms that require Princess Peach to walk slowly on them using the L or R buttons. Similar platforms are used in [[Misty Town]] in ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'' that require [[Starfy]] and [[Starly]] to [[glide]] on to them and walk slowly to avoid breaking them.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
[[Starfy]] has a small role in ''Brawl'', which is being an [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]]. An Assist Trophy is an item that allows players to have another character help them in battle.

Starfy is known as one of the weakest Assist Trophies, because the characters can attack and push him off the stage, unlike other Assist Trophies. Starfy's only method of attacking in ''Brawl'' is using [[Star Spin]]s. When Starfy appears, the sound effect heard at the beginning of the tune [[Confrontation with the Boss (music)|Confrontation with the Boss]] in the first four [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]] games plays.

In addition, both [[Starfy]] and [[Starly]] (called Stafy and Stapy respectively) appear as regular trophies, and Starfy, Starly, [[Moe]] (Kyorosuke), [[Chonmagyo]], [[Mattel]] (Materu), [[Seiuchi-kun]] and [[Herman]] (Yadokarita) appear as [[smashwiki:Sticker|stickers]]. There are two Starfy stickers. The first sticker depicts the official artwork of Starfy [[swim]]ming from ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''. The second sticker depicts the official artwork of Starfy wearing one of the [[Stuff]] (possibly the [[Densetsu no Starfy 2/Stuff#Clothes|Aloha Shirt]]) from ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''.

The Starfy trophy is obtainable by clearing [[smashwiki:Target Smash!!|Target Smash!!]] Level 1 with at least 10 different characters. The Starly trophy can be obtained randomly.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]''===
Starfy is an [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]] in both Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, as he is in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Like ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Starfy walks around the stage and performs [[Star Spin]]s before disappearing or falling off the stage. He can be attacked and can receive [[smashwiki:knockback|knockback]] in both the Nintendo 3DS version and the Wii U version. If defeated, he may tumble in the air while turning around clockwise with his back facing the screen, but the melody that normally plays in the ''Legendary Starfy'' series when Starfy or Starly is defeated does not play.

The melody based on the beginning of [[Confrontation with the Boss (music)|Confrontation with the Boss]] from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' also plays when Starfy appears in both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U version.

Starfy re-appears as a regular trophy in at least ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', as originally seen in a pre-release screenshot of [[smashwiki:All-Star Mode|All-Star Mode]] that was posted by game director [[smashwiki:Masahiro Sakurai|Masahiro Sakurai]] on Miiverse.<ref>[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKl_p3bbig Miiverse - Sakurai's post | Nintendo]</ref> Among the places the Starfy trophy can be obtained include [[smashwiki:Classic Mode|Classic Mode]], the [[smashwiki:trophy shop|trophy shop]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/little_y17/status/515490739120132096 りとるY's Tweet - Twitter]</ref>, and possibly on the ground, as seen in the previously mentioned screenshot.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', Starfy appears as a profile icon among Assist Trophies.

|Starfy is [[Pufftop|Pufftop Kingdom]]'s scatterbrained prince and the hero of [[The Legendary Starfy]]. He looks like a star, or maybe a starfish - no one knows what he really is. When released, he'll boldly attack enemies with his [[Star Spin]]. It's not a very powerful attack, but at least he's trying!

|Debuting in "''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''", he is the prince of the kingdom [[Pufftop|Tenkai]] that floats in the sky. He is a little careless and clumsy, but he does his best. He is a creature like a star appearing as a starfish. When called, he will [[Star Spin|Spin Attack]] boldly towards the fighters who are nearby. His power is not high, but he tries hard to give his body a stretch.(?)
|Starfy is the absentminded prince of the [[Pufftop|Pufftop Kingdom]], and the hero of [[The Legendary Starfy]]. Is he a star? A starfish? His commitment to helping you when summoned is obvious, even if his species isn't. He'll use a [[Star Spin]] attack, which isn't all that powerful. It's the thought that counts!<ref>[http://pastebin.com/vJZ2TX8u Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS trophy descriptions - text dump by Kaphotics]</ref>.

===History===
On December 25, 2013, it was first revealed that Starfy would appear in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' via a picture of the day on the [http://www.smashbros.com/ official ''Smash Bros.'' website], showing Starfy, a yellow [[mariowiki:Luma (species)|Luma]] and [[smashwiki:Pikachu (SSB4)|Pikachu]]. <ref>[http://archive.is/HHv4e Official Site - Super Smash. Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U (UK archived version)]</ref> The picture of the day was also posted on Miiverse with the text "Pic of the day. Yellow characters." (Japanese: きょうの一枚。
黄色いいきものたち。, ''{{alttext|Picture|The actual text is 枚; a counter for flat objects}} of the Day. Yellow Creatures'').<ref>[http://archive.is/vn0q2 English Miiverse post by Masahiro Sakurai] (archived from [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADRUqFmm46qiQ the original]).</ref><ref>[http://archive.is/KesIU Japanese Miiverse post by Masahiro Sakurai] (archived from [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADRUqFmm7ezrw the original]).</ref>

Starfy's status in the game remained unconfirmed for a while, as the picture of the day did not confirm he was an [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]], and there was no page for Starfy as a new character on the site.

Later, two screenshots of Starfy appeared on the [[smashwiki:Mario Galaxy|Mario Galaxy]] and [[smashwiki:Town and City|Town and City]] stages, apparently as part of a press package release. Screenshots from it were uploaded to Flickr by 'Endless' in the first quarter of 2014.<ref>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/48280274@N02/sets/72157643678092364/ Images from the Super Smash Bros. press package release]</ref>

Starfy was confirmed as an Assist Trophy appeared during [[E3#E3 2014|E3 2014]] demo footage on the 10th of June, including the [[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. Invitational|Super Smash Bros. Invitational]] tournament, where he appeared in matches.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
Starfy reappears as an Assist Trophy and online profile icon in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' for [[Nintendo Switch]]. Starfy, Starly, Moe, Mattel, [[Mermaid]], [[Old Man Lobber]] also appear as spirits.

==Third party games==
===Apex Legends===
[[File:Kawaii Voltage.png|thumb|right|250px|Wattson with the Kawaii Voltage skin in Apex Legends]]
The 2019 free-to-play shooter [[wikipedia:Apex Legends|Apex Legends]] (released for Switch in 2021) has an unlockable character skin for Wattson called “Kawaii Voltage”, with a yellow star and pink star character. The depictions of the star characters are slightly reminiscent of [[Starfy]] and [[Starly]], though the pink star lacks Starly's bow. This resemblance is most likely a coincidence.

===Nicktropolis===
The [https://lostmediawiki.com/Nicktropolis_(partially_found_Nickelodeon_MMORPG;_2007-2010) discontinued 2007-2010] online game [[wikipedia:Nicktropolis|Nicktropolis]] featured an advertisement for ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'' in a special room themed around the game. It showed a floating version of [[Starfy]] and [[Moe]] in a bubble. There was an option to make the commercial full screen.

[[File:IWGTFS! Title.png|thumb|right|250px|Title screen of "I wanna get the five stars!"]]
===''I wanna get the five stars!''===
This Japanese [[wikipedia:GameMaker: Studio|GameMaker]] game based on the PC game "''[[wikipedia:I Wanna Be the Guy|I Wanna Be the Guy]]''" features a stage based on ''The Legendary Starfy'' series with [[Buirun]] as the boss. The star shaped character on the title screen may also be based on Starfy because on the top-left portion of it he has pink cheeks.

===''Rockman 4: Minus Infinity''===
Two tunes from ''Rockman 4: Minus Infinity''; a Japanese ROM hack of ''[[wikipedia:Mega Man 4|Mega Man 4]]'' are based on music from ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'' and ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''. The Cossack 1+2 boss theme is derived from the tune [[Hero Lobber (music)|Hero Lobber]] from both games, and the Wily boss theme is derived from the tune [[Jashin Evil (music)|Jashin Evil]] from ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', which plays against [[Evil]]'s second form.
