'''Chochin''' is an enemy in the [[Game Boy Advance]] games. If [[Starfy]] or [[Starly]] sees one, they are most likely going to find more.
Chochin seems to be based on a Yokai, to be more specific, the Ghost, Chōchin-obake.

{{Quote|KONK! KONK! You finally KONK came! You certainly took your KONK time!|Konk|[[The Legendary Starfy]]}}

'''Konk''' (known in Japan as '''Bonbone''') is a recurring boss in [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. He is the first boss in the first four games of the series, and also the bonus boss in level 9 of the ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''. He is a well known bully who constantly pesters [[Starfy]] and his friends, however he is hardly considered a dangerous threat and is seen as more of an annoying nuisance. He appears to have an odd quirk where in the middle of his sentences, he tends to blurt out the word, ''"KONK!"'', hence his name.

== History ==
===''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''===
In this game, Konk is fought during the events in [[Coral Reef]]. After [[Starfy]] saves [[Moe]] from the [[Fork]] [[Fork's brother|brother]]s, he tells Starfy that Konk kidnapped [[Ruby]] while he was talking to her. Starfy then saved her by beating Konk.
[[File:StarfyMeetsKonk.png|thumb|left|150px|Starfy and Konk's first encounter.]]
{{clr}}

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''===
Konk returns, but this time in [[Lobber's Cave]]. {{PuchiOgura|1}} most likely asks for Konk's aid in defeating Starfy, however both end up being defeated by the heroic prince once again.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''===
Appearing again in Lobber's Cave, Konk used a [[Helmet (item)|Helmet]] to protect his head and make him invulnerable to [[Star Spin]]s. [[Starly]] overhears that exposing Konk to a [[Light]] for too long makes Konk too hot while wearing the Helmet, so she moves the Light to have Konk stand underneath it for ten seconds. This proves too much for Konk and the Helmet flies towards Starly, which Starly picks up.

Just after, Konk corners her. Starfy and Moe come just in the nick of time. Konk retreats, but Starfy follows him and ends up beating him again.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''===
Konk appears once again, but this time with a different shell and darker eye lids. According to [[Amiiyoshino]], [[Degil]] seems to have powered him up with the power of the [[Monamool Stone]]. During the events in [[Lobber's Villa]], he steals a rose required to enter the [[Spring of Love]], but Starfy manages to beat him again for the fourth time.

===''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''===
Konk appears in ''The Legendary Starfy'' as the boss of the ninth level, [[Pufftop]] where he is fought by [[Starly]]. After managing to break into the royal castle while it was under attack by [[Mashtooth]]'s minions, he encountered Starly and challenged her to a battle thinking that this time he would achieve victory and get his revenge for his previous defeats, however like always he was defeated by the younger sister of his arch rival, but this would not quell his desire for victory and he continued to challenge Starly every time they encountered each other, but despite his numerous tries he failed to defeat her. He later makes an appearance on the "[[The Moe Show]]" where he is looking for Starfy in hopes of asking for his autograph (however this scene should not be taken seriously and was most likely added for comical effect and does not mean that Konk has given up his rivalry with Starfy).

==Appearance==
Konk is a sky blue colored sea whelk who lives in a Tannish peach colored conch shell, or possibly a "KONK!" shell according to his [[Toys|Toy]] description from ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''. When appearing in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', he had a much more colorful shell, which had a small heart and also yellowish orange spikes.
Konk has gills on his head, which likely help him breath above and below water. Konk also has two paws which he uses to hold onto his shell.

==Personality==
Konk is more of a harmless bully than an actual enemy to [[Starfy]] and his friends. He loves [[Ruby]], and often gets into fights with [[Moe]] because of Moe's love of Ruby.

''The Legendary Starfy'' describes him as "More harmless than harmful."

== Attacks ==
[[File:Konk_commercial.png|thumb|Starfy fighting Konk in the commercial for ''Densetsu no Starfy''.]]
Konk will spin rather fast. [[Starfy]] or Starly will have to attack him from above.

In ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'', Konk gains a new attack in which he stops in place for a second, holds his breath and spins very fast. This attack leaves Konk dizzy for a few seconds though, rendering him vulnerable to attack.

In ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'', Konk has a new attack. He will jump high off screen, and a few second's later, Konk and a duplicate of his shell will drop from above! He also shields himself with his shell helmet from ''Densetsu no Starfy 3.''

In ''The Legendary Starfy'', he re-uses his shell helmet to protect his head during his jump attacks, and spins fast. When Konk's health is low, he will cover the boss arena in a net and attempt to spear [[Starly]]! [[Turbo Swim]] left or right in the net and dodge Konk's attack!

==Trivia==
[[File:Bonebone.png|thumb|right|200px|The unused model named 'Bonebone' in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'' and the Japanese version of ''[[Super Princess Peach]]]]
*Konk is one of the few characters that have appeared in every ''The Legendary Starfy'' series game so far.
*Konk is the only boss that appeared in every game.
*Konk, along with [[Ogura]] and [[Bankirosu]], are the only bosses that appear in more than one game.
*If one looks closely at Ogura, it can be noticed that they bear a resemblance without the shell and with fiery hair.
*In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'', {{PuchiOgura|1}} rides on his head, but does not seem to help him in his battle with Starfy in any way like most of the Puchi Ogura.
*Konk is not the only [[characters|character]] with an odd speech pattern.
*In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'' and the Japanese version of ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', there is an unused 3D model of Konk named 'Bonebone'. The texture file is lacking Konk's [[Konk#Densetsu no Starfy 4|upgraded shell]] from the ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'' boss battle.
**This model appears in an unused panorama named '[[Densetsu no Starfy 4/Unused content/Unused models#Seascape|stage02]]'.

List of glitches in the Game Boy Advance games

2015-10-01T20:23:22Z

Bonboon228: /* Konk defeat glitch */

{{Japanese}}
This article lists various glitches that appear in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'', ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'' and ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''.

==In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''==

Below are a list of glitches in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''.

===Beating [[Bankirosu]] while losing at the same time===

In a boss battle with Bankirosu if [[Starfy]] performs a [[Star Spin]] on Bankirosu in a certain way it's possible to bump into the spikes and also damage Starfy. If Bankirosu and Starfy both have one health point, the player can defeat Bankirosu while failing the boss fight at the same time. Bankirosu's 'defeated' animation is played, but it appears that Starfy is sent back outside of the boss room before anything else can happen. If Starfy returns to the boss room, Bankirosu will be there to fight Starfy again with full health points.

If after beating [[Ogura]], the player performs the glitch when Bankirosu is meant to give Starfy a treasure chest, the treasure chest is knocked out of Bankirosu, but the player will be sent back outside of the boss room before it can be obtained.

{{#ev:youtube|pS3EU2XNuRs|270|left|Beating [[Bankirosu]] while losing at the same time}}
{{clr}}

===Data corruption===
[[File:DnS invalid files.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Invalid file data caused by the glitch]]
The player's data for both files on the [[File Select]] screen may suddenly become corrupted. On the [[Title Screen]], the game may prompt the player that there is a [[Suspend Save]] for an invalid file and freeze with static playing in the background if it is loaded.

The data for both files may look as follows.

*There is a star next to the file name to mark the file as complete.
*The location is glitched: in [[:user:Torchickens|one]] case, "4 4444444".
*There are a large number of [[Pearl]]s greater than 9999, marked as (white block)535. This is presumably 65535, the largest 16-bit number.
*The [[Photograph]] is complete.
*All [[Treasure Items]] are obtained.
*The [[Toys|Picture Book]] is complete.

The cause is likely due to ''Densetsu no Starfy'' reportedly using a battery save instead of flash memory<ref>[http://eu-nao-sou-eu.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/game-batteries-and-cables.html game trend: Game batteries and cables]</ref>, meaning that over time that file data will eventually corrupt. Deleting the first (the second hasn't been tested) save file won't erase the save, however resetting the game may restore both saves the way they were.

[[File:DnS invalid Suspend Save.png|thumb|left|250px|An invalid Suspend Save prompt. Note that the file is called 'File (blank space)' with a barely visible blue bar above it]]
{{clr}}

===[[Demo glitch]]===
{{main|Demo glitch}}
[[File:Demoglitch.gif|frame|right|Ending the demo sequence with the [[Balloon]] about here causes incorrect playback of the next demo and allows the player to take control, as long as it is the area of [[Coral Reef]] where Starfy normally swims past Moe and around the room.]]
The demo glitch is a bug that allows the player to take control of the game from the [[wikipedia:attract mode|attract mode]] and skip to any stage from the second stage ([[Coral Reef]]). This is due to incorrect playback of the Coral Reef demo where Starfy swims past Moe and around the room. This is caused by ending the attract demo with the [[Balloon]] when Starfy's at around the same x-coordinate as the Balloon.

The attract mode ends when Starfy hits Moe with a Star Spin, initiating a conversation with Moe. When the player exits the conversation and takes control, the game is considered to be "completed". By default the player has access to every stage, all vehicles unlocked, the ability to break the [[Seal Block]]s blocks and the ability to get [[treasure]]. The save file will have a star next to it, meaning that the player is able to see the post-game title screen.

This glitch, combined with the Suspend Save glitch have been used in tool-assisted speedruns of ''Densetsu no Starfy'' to beat the game within about 3:30-6:30 minutes.
{{clrr}}

===Green platform glitch===

In [[Undersea Temple]], [[Starfy]] can rise on top of some green platforms that are found underwater. If the player presses the Down button while swimming above one from below, Starfy will suddenly thrust upwards. The extent of which Starfy is pushed upwards can vary.

{{#ev:youtube|b140wFL2zQE|270|left|Video of the green platform glitch}}
{{clr}}
===[[Imadame glitch]]===
{{main|Imadame glitch}}
[[File:Imadame glitch.gif|frame|right|Causing the Imadame glitch to happen]]
The Imadame glitch allows [[Starfy]]'s HP to underflow from 0 to 255 hearts by getting caught by [[Imadame]] during the 'no hearts' sequence. The glitch is exploitable in the bottom-right room of [[Pufftop]]. The player must have access to the [[Catfish Boat]] and the ability to break the [[Seal Block]]s. Through the second door past the Catfish Boat, there are Imadame and a [[Nubble]] at the top-left corner of the room. The Nubble allows Starfy to lose all of his hearts and lose another one due to getting caught by the Imadame during the 'no hearts' sequence.

Since values for heart bar graphics (memory address: 03000F7A) greater than 05h are invalid, the game displays a glitchy mess on the screen when it tries to draw Starfy's health. For certain values (e.g. 248-255 hearts), Starfy, the treasure chest at the end of the room and enemies, including the Imadame and [[Nubble]] are made invisible due to the glitchy graphics, while other values keep them visible on the screen.
{{clrr}}

===Suspend Save glitch===
[[File:DnS corrupted save.png|frame|right|The first room of Pufftop corrupted by the Suspend Save glitch]]
This is a glitch that involves corrupting the player's Suspend Save data. When the player opens the Pause Menu the game creates a temporary save. If the player resets the game, a message will appear asking the player whether he/she wants to resume the save game data.

If the player presses Start to open the Pause Menu in another location when they already have Suspend Save data, and then resets the game exactly 36 frames after pressing Start, the Suspend Save data may become corrupted.

The results of the glitch tend to vary. The exact reasons why are unknown, but it tends to vary by location and room.

One possible result of the glitch is that the player is still in the latest stage, but glitchy enemies appear and the locations of doors are different. If this happens, entering one of the doors will bring the player to a room in the latest stage.

Another possible result of the glitch is that the game loads the previous stage but with the music of the latest stage. If this happens, enemies from the latest stage such as [[Imadame]] may appear in the previous location. Talking to [[Moe]] will bring up a conversation from the latest stage with the index number (stored in memory address 03000D84) of the conversation from the previous location. For example, a conversation with Moe in [[Coral Coast]] has an index number of 14h (20), which also corresponds to the second boss battle with [[Ogura]] in [[Pufftop]].

This glitch, combined with the [[Demo glitch]] have been used in tool-assisted speedruns of ''Densetsu no Starfy'' to beat the game within about 3:30-6:30 minutes. It has not been confirmed to work on a real console.

{{clr}}

==In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''==

Below are a list of glitches in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''.

===[[Konk]] defeat glitch===
Very very rarely, in the boss fight for [[Lobber's Cave]], when Konk is defeated, instead of him spinning into the background, Konk will stretch thin and dissipate. The game then freezes. It is not known what causes this glitch.

===[[Arumonto]] lag glitch===
In [[Area]] 5 of [[Resshi Lake]] ([[Stage]] 9), on the second map some lag will occur if the player is quick to have Starfy [[Star Spin]] while an [[Arumonto]] is on the screen. The lag will go away after a few seconds but the glitch is repeatable if Starfy [[Entering a Door|enters a door]] and returns to the map to have the Arumonto respawn.

===Ball glitch===
In Area 2 of [[Pitch Dark Cave]] (Stage 6) there is a puzzle where Starfy must push a red 'Apple' ball into a pit below a 'Pig' icon, a yellow 'Honey' ball into a pit below a 'Bird' icon and a blue 'Sky' ball into a pit below a 'Fish' icon.
Once Starfy pushes the correct ball into the correct pit, the pit will be closed off by a thin platform. If Starfy manages to get one of the incorrect balls in the vicinity of the platform that appears when a pit is closed off, it will be pushed upwards at a high velocity.
{{#ev:youtube|PEKi7oOZjHE|270|left|Video of the Ball glitch, performed with the 'Pig' pit, the 'Apple' ball and the 'Honey' ball}}
{{clr}}

===[[Dokazun]] glitch===
This glitch occurs in Area 9 of [[Torrent's Waterfall]] (Stage 10). To get to this stage, the player must have unlocked the upgraded [[Sukebon]]. On map 2, there is a [[Dokazun]] past two spiked balls and four rows of breakable bricks. If the player gets past the bricks so that the Dokazun can see Starfy and then performs a [[Star Spin]] above it when it is close to the wall, it will move through the wall and become stuck in it. If Starfy then performs another Star Spin, it is possible for the Dokazun will fly up the wall and off the screen with a high velocity.

{{#ev:youtube|fKoM5tPkisU|270|left|Getting the Dokazun to fly off the screen}}
{{clr}}

===[[Ogura]] swallow glitch===
In the battle with [[Ogura]]'s final form, if Starfy gets swallowed by Ogura when Starfy is in the invulnerable stage from getting hit by a previous attack, when Starfy is spit out he will stand near the center of Ogura's mouth instead of taking damage and being pushed downwards.

{{#ev:youtube|HijiuLw0bRQ|270|left|Video of the Ogura swallow glitch (glitch begins at 5:15)}}
{{clr}}
===Platform jump glitch===

In Stage 8-4 ([[Pufftop]]), there is a minor floating platform glitch that can be performed in room 3. This is a large room that scrolls vertically. If Starfy jumps on to one of the floating platforms when there isn't much space above it, he may jump for no apparent reason.

{{#ev:youtube|j_OUUsJbxTo|270|left|Video of the platform jump glitch}}
{{clr}}

==={{PuchiOgura|10}} text box glitch===

In Stage 10-6 ([[Torrent's Waterfall]])'s boss room, rarely when jumping up to the area with Puchi Ogura #10 his text box will appear at the bottom of the screen before shortly moving to the top of the screen. The cause is unclear.

{{#ev:youtube|dRHva6L9lBQ|270|left|Video of the Puchi Ogura #10 text box glitch}}
{{clr}}
===Shocked [[Starfy]] glitch===
In Stage 3-3 ([[Turtle Turtle Land]]) after the player catches [[Kamekkojinan]] and [[Kamekkoimouto]] and returns to [[Moe]], he will celebrate that they are finally 'caught', until they will run off with [[Kamekkochounan]] after he invites them into the door.

Later, Moe gets angry and shocks Starfy. If the player presses the Start button to end the conversation early while Starfy is 'shocked', he will remain shocked until the Area is cleared. The sprites of Starfy being shocked do not change when Starfy uses [[Star Spin]]s or becomes [[Dizzy]]. If after opening the Pause Menu with Start, the player resets the game and resumes it via Suspsend Save, the file will be loaded with Starfy still shocked.

If the player resets the game after saving via the Mermaid and loads the file without loading the Suspend Save, Starfy's sprite will return to normal. Clearing the stage and entering the next will also return Starfy's sprite back to normal.

{{#ev:youtube|XJBXoeOXAFI|270|left|Video of the shocked Starfy glitch}}
{{clr}}

===[[Sukarudon]] glitch===
[[File:Sukarudon in a wall.png|frame|right|A [[Sukarudon]] stuck in a wall]]
When revisiting Stage 8-5 ([[Pufftop]]) after beating the game, there is a [[Sukarudon]] between two walls, with the left most wall being very small height and width wise, in the room where {{Squirt|4}} used to be. If the player is sent to this room from map 9 (accessible through the bottom-right most door from the main room with the [[Imadame]]), the Sukarudon may be stuck in the right-most wall until Starfy moves up a bit.
{{clrr}}


===Trapping {{PuchiOgura|2}} and [[Pekin Duck Model]]===
[[File:PuchiOgura2 Trick.png|frame|right|{{PuchiOgura|2}} and [[Pekin Duck Model]] at the top-left corner of the room]]
In the boss battle with {{PuchiOgura|2}} and [[Pekin Duck Model]] in Stage 2-4 ([[Gluglug Lagoon]]), if [[Starfy]] stays at the top-left corner of the room, Starfy won't get hit by the fire that surrounds them. Puchi Ogura #2 and Pekin Duck Model will be trapped, as they will keep trying to go left and up. This makes Puchi Ogura #2 and Pekin Duck Model easy to defeat as Starfy only has to wait for the fire to extinguish in order to hit them with a [[Star Spin]].
{{clr}}

==In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''==

Below are a list of glitches in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''.

===Altered [[Ogura]] glitch===

In the boss battle with altered [[Ogura]], it is possible for Ogura to fire his laser at a very high speed with no health points left. If Starfy or Starly is defeated by Ogura with no health points, they will have to fight him again.

{{#ev:youtube|MoOftbQpZOs|270|left|Video of the altered Ogura glitch}}
{{clr}}
===Disappearing objects===

In Stage 6-5 ([[Flamer Volcano]]) there is a room (room 3) with two [[Ippon]] and multiple blocks. If Starfy or [[Starly]] breaks the block on the bottom-left corner, leaves a block above it, and allows both Ippon to move to the gap in the bottom-left corner with [[Starfy]], Starfy can use his [[Star Spin]] to get blocked by the Ippons' shells continuously. After a while of getting blocked by the shells, any [[Pearl]]s and the door nearby will disappear until Starfy or Starly move away or defeat the Ippons. Part of the [[Arukaseki]] nearby also becomes invisible when Starfy or Starly is getting blocked by the shells.

{{#ev:youtube|MxN6oEDaeDA|270|left|Video of the disappearing objects glitch}}
{{clr}}

===[[The Jellato Sisters]] ice block glitch===

Prior to completing the game, in Stage 4-4 ([[Crushed Ice Alpine]]), in room 6 [[The Jellato Sisters]] can be found frozen in ice. If Starfy pushes the ice block against the wall in a certain way, it will bounce back and send Starfy flying upwards at a high velocity.

{{#ev:youtube|0-AyvPIgfyU|270|left|Video of the glitch}}
{{clr}}

===Swimming backwards===

If Starfy or Starly swim down to touch a wall and immediately swim upwards, it will appear that they are swimming backwards. The glitch does not work in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' and ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''. The glitch has not been confirmed to work on a real console.

{{#ev:youtube|pTDM97yAbeE|270|left|Video of the glitch}}
{{clr}}

===[[Toys|Trading Cards]] glitch===

If after beating the game, the player registers more than one [[enemies|enemy]] in the Trading Cards in a single [[Area]], the Trading Cards may wrongly indicate that the player has registered more [[characters]] and enemies than they actually have.

The Imadame glitch allows [[Starfy]]'s HP to underflow from 0 to 255 hearts by getting caught by [[Imadame]] during the 'no hearts' sequence. The glitch is exploitable in the bottom-right room of [[Pufftop]]. The player must have access to the [[Catfish Boat]] and the ability to break the [[Seal Block]]s. Through the second door past the Catfish Boat, there are Imadame and a [[Nubble]] at the top-left corner of the room. The Nubble allows Starfy to lose all of his hearts and lose another one due to getting caught by the Imadame during the 'no hearts' sequence.

Since values for heart bar graphics (memory address: 03000F7A) greater than 05h are invalid, the game displays a glitchy mess on the screen when it tries to draw Starfy's health. For certain values (e.g. 248-255 hearts), Starfy, the treasure chest at the end of the room and enemies, including the Imadame and [[Nubble]] are made invisible due to the glitchy graphics, while other values keep them visible on the screen.

===Suspend Save glitch===
[[File:DnS corrupted save.png|frame|right|The first room of Pufftop corrupted by the Suspend Save glitch]]
This is a glitch that involves corrupting the player's Suspend Save data. When the player opens the Pause Menu the game creates a temporary save. If the player resets the game, a message will appear asking the player whether he/she wants to resume the save game data.

If the player presses Start to open the Pause Menu in another location when they already have Suspend Save data, and then resets the game exactly 36 frames after pressing Start, the Suspend Save data may become corrupted.

The results of the glitch tend to vary. The exact reasons why are unknown, but it tends to vary by location and room.

One possible result of the glitch is that the player is still in the latest stage, but glitchy enemies appear and the locations of doors are different. If this happens, entering one of the doors will bring the player to a room in the latest stage.

Another possible result of the glitch is that the game loads the previous stage but with the music of the latest stage. If this happens, enemies from the latest stage such as [[Imadame]] may appear in the previous location. Talking to [[Moe]] will bring up a conversation from the latest stage with the index number (stored in memory address 03000D84) of the conversation from the previous location. For example, a conversation with Moe in [[Coral Coast]] has an index number of 14h (20), which also corresponds to the second boss battle with [[Ogura]] in [[Pufftop]].

This glitch, combined with the [[Demo glitch]] have been used in tool-assisted speedruns of ''Densetsu no Starfy'' to beat the game within about 3:30-6:30 minutes. It has not been confirmed to work on a real console.

==In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''==

Below are a list of glitches in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''.

==[[Konk]] defeat glitch==
Very very rarely, in the boss fight for [[Lobber's Cave]], when Konk is defeated, instead of him spinning into the background, Konk will stretch thin and dissipate. The game then freezes. It is not known what causes this glitch.

===[[Arumonto]] lag glitch===
In [[Area]] 5 of [[Resshi Lake]] ([[Stage]] 9), on the second map some lag will occur if the player is quick to have Starfy [[Star Spin]] while an [[Arumonto]] is on the screen. The lag will go away after a few seconds but the glitch is repeatable if Starfy [[Entering a Door|enters a door]] and returns to the map to have the Arumonto respawn.

===Ball glitch===
In Area 2 of [[Pitch Dark Cave]] (Stage 6) there is a puzzle where Starfy must push a red 'Apple' ball into a pit below a 'Pig' icon, a yellow 'Honey' ball into a pit below a 'Bird' icon and a blue 'Sky' ball into a pit below a 'Fish' icon.
Once Starfy pushes the correct ball into the correct pit, the pit will be closed off by a thin platform. If Starfy manages to get one of the incorrect balls in the vicinity of the platform that appears when a pit is closed off, it will be pushed upwards at a high velocity.

===[[Dokazun]] glitch===
This glitch occurs in Area 9 of [[Torrent's Waterfall]] (Stage 10). To get to this stage, the player must have unlocked the upgraded [[Sukebon]]. On map 2, there is a [[Dokazun]] past two spiked balls and four rows of breakable bricks. If the player gets past the bricks so that the Dokazun can see Starfy and then performs a [[Star Spin]] above it when it is close to the wall, it will move through the wall and become stuck in it. If Starfy then performs another Star Spin, it is possible for the Dokazun will fly up the wall and off the screen with a high velocity.

===[[Ogura]] swallow glitch===
In the battle with [[Ogura]]'s final form, if Starfy gets swallowed by Ogura when Starfy is in the invulnerable stage from getting hit by a previous attack, when Starfy is spit out he will stand near the center of Ogura's mouth instead of taking damage and being pushed downwards.

===Platform jump glitch===

In Stage 8-4 ([[Pufftop]]), there is a minor floating platform glitch that can be performed in room 3. This is a large room that scrolls vertically. If Starfy jumps on to one of the floating platforms when there isn't much space above it, he may jump for no apparent reason.

==={{PuchiOgura|10}} text box glitch===

In Stage 10-6 ([[Torrent's Waterfall]])'s boss room, rarely when jumping up to the area with Puchi Ogura #10 his text box will appear at the bottom of the screen before shortly moving to the top of the screen. The cause is unclear.

===Shocked [[Starfy]] glitch===
In Stage 3-3 ([[Turtle Turtle Land]]) after the player catches [[Kamekkojinan]] and [[Kamekkoimouto]] and returns to [[Moe]], he will celebrate that they are finally 'caught', until they will run off with [[Kamekkochounan]] after he invites them into the door.

Later, Moe gets angry and shocks Starfy. If the player presses the Start button to end the conversation early while Starfy is 'shocked', he will remain shocked until the Area is cleared. The sprites of Starfy being shocked do not change when Starfy uses [[Star Spin]]s or becomes [[Dizzy]]. If after opening the Pause Menu with Start, the player resets the game and resumes it via Suspsend Save, the file will be loaded with Starfy still shocked.

If the player resets the game after saving via the Mermaid and loads the file without loading the Suspend Save, Starfy's sprite will return to normal. Clearing the stage and entering the next will also return Starfy's sprite back to normal.

===[[Sukarudon]] glitch===
[[File:Sukarudon in a wall.png|frame|right|A [[Sukarudon]] stuck in a wall]]
When revisiting Stage 8-5 ([[Pufftop]]) after beating the game, there is a [[Sukarudon]] between two walls, with the left most wall being very small height and width wise, in the room where {{Squirt|4}} used to be. If the player is sent to this room from map 9 (accessible through the bottom-right most door from the main room with the [[Imadame]]), the Sukarudon may be stuck in the right-most wall until Starfy moves up a bit.

===Trapping {{PuchiOgura|2}} and [[Pekin Duck Model]]===
[[File:PuchiOgura2 Trick.png|frame|right|{{PuchiOgura|2}} and [[Pekin Duck Model]] at the top-left corner of the room]]
In the boss battle with {{PuchiOgura|2}} and [[Pekin Duck Model]] in Stage 2-4 ([[Gluglug Lagoon]]), if [[Starfy]] stays at the top-left corner of the room, Starfy won't get hit by the fire that surrounds them. Puchi Ogura #2 and Pekin Duck Model will be trapped, as they will keep trying to go left and up. This makes Puchi Ogura #2 and Pekin Duck Model easy to defeat as Starfy only has to wait for the fire to extinguish in order to hit them with a [[Star Spin]].

==In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''==

Below are a list of glitches in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''.

===Altered [[Ogura]] glitch===

In the boss battle with altered [[Ogura]], it is possible for Ogura to fire his laser at a very high speed with no health points left. If Starfy or Starly is defeated by Ogura with no health points, they will have to fight him again.

{{#ev:youtube|MoOftbQpZOs|270|left|Video of the altered Ogura glitch}}

===Disappearing objects===

In Stage 6-5 ([[Flamer Volcano]]) there is a room (room 3) with two [[Ippon]] and multiple blocks. If Starfy or [[Starly]] breaks the block on the bottom-left corner, leaves a block above it, and allows both Ippon to move to the gap in the bottom-left corner with [[Starfy]], Starfy can use his [[Star Spin]] to get blocked by the Ippons' shells continuously. After a while of getting blocked by the shells, any [[Pearl]]s and the door nearby will disappear until Starfy or Starly move away or defeat the Ippons. Part of the [[Arukaseki]] nearby also becomes invisible when Starfy or Starly is getting blocked by the shells.

===[[The Jellato Sisters]] ice block glitch===

Prior to completing the game, in Stage 4-4 ([[Crushed Ice Alpine]]), in room 6 [[The Jellato Sisters]] can be found frozen in ice. If Starfy pushes the ice block against the wall in a certain way, it will bounce back and send Starfy flying upwards at a high velocity.

{{#ev:youtube|0-AyvPIgfyU|270|left|Video of the glitch}}

===Swimming backwards===

If Starfy or Starly swim down to touch a wall and immediately swim upwards, it will appear that they are swimming backwards. The glitch does not work in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' and ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''. The glitch has not been confirmed to work on a real console.

{{#ev:youtube|pTDM97yAbeE|270|left|Video of the glitch}}

===[[Toys|Trading Cards]] glitch===

If after beating the game, the player registers more than one [[enemies|enemy]] in the Trading Cards in a single [[Area]], the Trading Cards may wrongly indicate that the player has registered more [[characters]] and enemies than they actually have.
