''For the Special in [[The Legendary Starfy]]'s [[Stuff]], see [[The Legendary Starfy/Stuff#Specials]]''

The '''Mermaid''' is a character who aids [[Starfy]] throughout his adventures. She has appeared in every game in the [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]] so far. In the games, she allows the player to save their progress and heal all of the player's health. She also acts as a checkpoint, so if [[Starfy]] or [[Starly]] ever die, they can continue where the Mermaid last saved their progress. Mermaid is seen throughout various levels at different points, and is identified by her signature purple clam shell. She appears to be very nice, and is a good friend to Starfy and his pals. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] games, [[Starfy]] and [[Starly]] can save at the Mermaid by touching her shell. In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'', the mermaid appears in the background of the end stage sequence after first collecting 9999 [[Pearl]]s. In the [[Nintendo DS]] games, [[Starfy]] and [[Starly]] have to approach the Mermaid and press X to save.

In Densetsu no Starfy, his image is 003, in Densetsu no Starfy 2 it is 013 and in Densetsu no Starfy 3, his card is 015.

In ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', Mermaid can sometimes be seen if the player chooses to have [[Mermaid Gossip]] on his or her Nintendo DS's bottom screen. She will give Starfy (the player) tips and advice on the tasks at hand. She tries to encourage Starfy (and the player) to do their best and is always there to help out with her advice.

==[[Densetsu no Starfy (Sayori Abe)|Densetsu no Starfy (Sayori Abe) Manga]]==
The Mermaid appears in the [[Densetsu no Starfy (Sayori Abe)|''Densetsu no Starfy'' manga illustrated by Sayori Abe]]. In the [[Densetsu no Starfy (Yumiko Sudō)|manga illustrated by Yumiko Sudō]], Mermaid does not appear in the story. However, she can be seen among an audience in volume 2.

==''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Mermaid appears as a [[smashwiki:Spirits|Spirit]] that boost the fighter's water & ice attacks powers. Her battle is on the rock at sea area of [[smashwiki:Wuhu Island|Wuhu Island]] against a [[smashwiki:Inkling (SSBU)|Inkling]] who heals over time.

==Trivia==
*Mermaid uses the pronoun [[Japanese_First_Person_Pronouns#Watashi_(私/わたし/ワタシ)|Watashi]] in Japanese.
*In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', and the Japanese version of ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'' the mermaid shouts "Hi hi!". In the English versions of ''The Legendary Starfy'', this was changed to simply "Hi!"
*According to ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'''s [[Secret Talk|Secret Talk 12]] item, there is a "Mermaid Fan Club". The membership number of the [[Warp Jizou|the Warp Jizou]] on the Hint & Items Screen is 10,989.
*In ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'', there is a glitch where saving at one Mermaid and moving towards another while the animation has not finished will show a glitchy animation for the other, even though [[Starfy]] or [[Starly]] did not interact with the other Mermaid. This is exploitable in [[Flourishing Desert]] (Stage 6-4).
*None of Mermaid's voices between Starfy 4 and both versions of Starfy 5 are consistent, despite potentially being the same voice actress, [[Satomi Kōrogi]].

Eh, I'll probably update all the track names eventually, right now I'm taking screenshots of all the key items in the GBA games as well as their Japanese descriptions. Hmm that is interesting, I do have a skype now so I guess we can talk about it some more if you want.

That song should be on there, I was able to find it right away on youtube. Try searching "Starfy 4 World 7 Map" on the search bar on youtube, and it should be the top video there. I also don't mind if we install an extension to embed audio files. -[[User:Kagegamer12|Kagegamer12]] 00:20, 16 May 2012 (CDT)

== Re: Attack Powers ==

Sure, we can put them all into a list :D, either grouping them by stage or grouping them together by three central groups: enemies, obstacles, and bosses. And alright thanks! [[User:Kagegamer12|Kagegamer12]] 10:26, 29 May 2012 (CDT)
: Do you mind if I make a table for obstacles in your list? And also where would [[Arumarji]] fit in that list since he is capable of causing damage as well. [[User:Kagegamer12|Kagegamer12]] 12:30, 29 May 2012 (CDT)
::I suppose we could add Friends as a sub-title if you want, either way I have all the obstacles up there now. [[User:Kagegamer12|Kagegamer12]] 13:24, 29 May 2012 (CDT)

==Thanks==
Thanks! :D I'll do some wiki editing... eventually. E3 was disappointing. Pikmin 3 looks fun, and the 2 Mario games and NintendoLand, but kinda disappointing, I was expecting a Metroid. :/ --[[User:Starphoria|'''Star''']][[User Talk:Starphoria|'''phoria''']] ([[Special:Contributions/Starphoria|C]]·[[Special:Editcount/Starphoria|E]]) 20:44, 5 June 2012 (CDT)
:Yeah. To be honest, I am not excited about the two new Mario games. Pikmin 3 looks interesting. NintendoLand is actually much better than it seems, as I've heard. An F-Zero attraction was announced, and it seems like a Yoshi and Balloon Fight attraction will be coming. Nintendo posted pictures of all the series icons that will be in NintendoLand, and there was a Yoshi Egg and a Balloon. Is P-100 being published by Nintendo? Game and Wario looks interesting. Rayman Legends looks fantastic. I don't like Scribblenauts all too much, because I always come up with boring words. The "core" games announced look fun. Though, I'm not interested in ZombiU or Batman.

:Everyone is saying Ubisoft won E3, and I could agree with that. Sony and Microsoft also bombed.

:Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Paper Mario: Sticker Star look fun. Nintendo shouldn't have announced those until this year, in my honest opinion though. I'm still anticipating Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and Heroes of Ruin. I believe Nintendo gave other third-party titles the spotlight, but I cannot remember which. There is still the 3DS thing today, I think Animal Crossing will be showed off, and hopefully a couple new titles. Next year's E3 will be much better, I think. At least I get to keep my money this year, lol. I'll just ask for everything for Christmas (except for the Wii U) since I have a lot of relatives.

:The titles for the Wii U I am excited for are... Pikmin 3 and Rayman Legends. I need more info on Game and Wario, NintendoLand, and P-100 before I consider those. Of course I'll get the New Mario Bros. U, but, it won't be a "must have". If Nintendo had simply ''announced'' a Metroid, a Star Fox, or a F-Zero, I would be content. However, they did not. Oh well. I'm expecting better from the 3DS conference today. Other than that, I get to keep my money. --[[User:Starphoria|'''Star''']][[User Talk:Starphoria|'''phoria''']] ([[Special:Contributions/Starphoria|C]]·[[Special:Editcount/Starphoria|E]]) 17:18, 6 June 2012 (CDT)

::I remember Project Hammer. Project P-100 looks pretty sweet though. I hope it becomes a series for Nintendo. I've actually been pleased with Nintendo's effors lately. They are bringing us newer IPs and reviving older ones. I don't like the fact they are giving us all these Mario games though. Make a Metroid, a F-Zero, a Star Fox. I do want to see more new franchises from Nintendo though. You live in Europe, so it doesn't apply to you, but I hope they announce a Fire Emblem Awakening NA release. I can't wait to see more of Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, Paper Mario, and Animal Crossing as well as newer titles.

::I'm sorry to hear about your financial troubles, I was in the same boat not too long ago. Both my Mom and Dad were out of a job. My Dad works for real estate and the person who managed it all died. He found old friends of his working in real estate, and made a deal with them. My Mom couldn't find and nursing work after being laid off. She's found work, but is still having trouble finding a good job. However, I have two older sisters who are really successful, and they give support to my dad. (My parents are divorced) Things have gotten better for us, though. I'm sorry to hear about your dad as well. I can understand because I've had an uncle close to us who died 2 1/2 years ago. I also had my step-grandmother die. We've been doing better much better now, though. --[[User:Starphoria|'''Star''']][[User Talk:Starphoria|'''phoria''']] ([[Special:Contributions/Starphoria|C]]·[[Special:Editcount/Starphoria|E]]) 19:02, 6 June 2012 (CDT)
:::By "classic", I mean Kid Icarus, Punch Out!!, Donkey Kong Country, the return to 2D Mario, Sin and Punishment, etc. Nintendo has been reviving more well-known games like that. A Balloon Fight and Ice Climber game would be nice. Ice Climber could be an amazing platformer. The word "Ice" is holding it back for me though. If they were to revive it, they would need to do a whole lot. Ice setting would get boring. Maybe just "Climber", but even if they kept the name "Ice Climber", and had ice themes, I'm sure Nintendo could do something.

:::Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon looks really cool. I like the whole multiple mansions idea, and I can't wait to see where the series goes from here. Paper Mario Sticker Star looks incredible, but are there partners? If not, then I will be massively upset. Partners rule. I enjoyed Super Paper Mario, but the first two games were superior to it. I really like how in Sticker Star, real life objects can be affect everything. I really want to hear something about Animal Crossing: Jump Out. Animal Crossing is probably my most played Nintendo franchise in hours total trying to collect everything. stupic golden axe... I hope you can get eaten by sharks when swimming. Kind of like the scorpions and tarantulas. I hope Nintendo does more unique things with it though. I'm still not exactly excited for the two new mario games. Mario Bros. 2 feels like a Wario game. Mario Bros. U looks more interesting, and if I ever play multiplayer, I would definitely use the GamePad and kill all my friends :P As for Fire Emblem... Yay! That's all.

:::The 3DS Conference and E3 in particular stunk. I'm not going to bother with Castlevania. Were there any other 3rd party titles shown that looked good aside from Epic Mickey and Scribblenauts? Aside from Kingdom Hearts and Heroes of Ruin? Oh well, like I said, I can keep my money. --[[User:Starphoria|'''Star''']][[User Talk:Starphoria|'''phoria''']] ([[Special:Contributions/Starphoria|C]]·[[Special:Editcount/Starphoria|E]]) 03:35, 9 June 2012 (CDT)

==Account Creation Issues?==
Hey Torchikens, a user named ToastUltimatum has been attempting to make a Starfy Wiki account for awhile now and has been experiencing issues that he is not experiencing at other NIWA wikis. It seems that the issue is exclusive to Starfy Wiki. I'll give you the direct quote from him so that you can look into the situation more (if there is a problem at all), just thought that I would let you know:

*[10:03:34 AM] TaleOfTheToaster: Right, I've been trying to make an account on Starfy Wiki for the past few minutes, but the CAPTCHA question won't show up. And when I ignore it and hit Create account anyway, I just get a server error on IE and a blank screen on Firefox, so clearly the CAPTCHA is necessary despite it not showing up
*[10:03:36 AM] TaleOfTheToaster: Does anyone else wanna try making an account?
*[10:12:32 AM] TaleOfTheToaster: And yes, I have cookies enabled
*[10:16:14 AM] TaleOfTheToaster: I also got the CAPTCHA to load on Golden Sun Universe, so I think there must just be a problem with Starfy Wiki"

== Re: Thank you ==

It's my pleasure. I have been working on and off on The Legendary Starfy in regards to speedrunning for years, and recently decided to get into the Japan only games. Very enjoyable series. I pretty much found those glitches while speedrunning the games, and I just found another graphical glitch while doing a run of the first game, which i just took the time to learn, (https://www.twitch.tv/diamond44444444/v/107860449). In regards to the correction for the enemy cards, I spent about 45 minutes looking for the Upon in 9-3 when I was getting 100% and I didn't want anybody else to fall victim to that.
I saw your channel on youtube a few months ago (At least I think it's your channel) and saw the skip you found in 5-5 of Densetsu no Stafy 2 and other things. That skip in particular was pretty cool and saves approximately 40-60 seconds in a speedrun, but given that it's already over an hour into a 4+ hour run I really won't be doing it in an RTA.
(I don't know exactly how to use this talk feature, so my apologies if i'm doing something wrong)

On the topic of the 5-5 skip and the original person who discovered it, I was going through that TASlog that you have in the description of that video and was looking at the video names for Stafy. A few ones really caught my eye, including the stafy3-stapy-doublejump (I'm implying that it applies to Stafi), the stafy3-rocket, the stafy2-cornerboost, and especially the stafy1_pearl_glitch. I would presume that you have accessed these files before since you found the 5-5 skip from it, so are you able to access these files and tell me what they are comprised of? I'm also curious what exactly is in the stafy2 parts of those files, since the game has not had much development in terms of speedrunning except for a really bad RTA that I did and an incomplete TAS that comprises only 3 levels.
In regards to the stafy1_pearl_glitch, if it pertains to obtaining pearls fast I would really like to know about it, since grinding pearls in that game for a 100% speedrun would be extremely tedious and annoying, almost as much so as in The Legendary Starfy 100%, which requires ~30 goes through 9-7 to get enough pearls.

== Re: Quotes Header ==

Uhhh I'm not sure if I'm doing this right lol.

Hello!

Cool, I'll get started on adding the headers. And thanks! Gotta keep this wiki alive somehow. :)

== Enemy Genders ==

So, starting with [[Nubble]], I've decided to "help" the wiki by adding the enemies' genders. I was wondering if this would fly with you, since i try to source my statments with the toys/trading cards/figurines. I hope you are OK with this.

== Captcha ==

Hi the wiki always asks me for a captcha. However, I find it to be time consuming and sorta annoying. Is there another way to prevent bots from registering? I also had to try a captcha like 7 times before sending this message as well. [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 23:54, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
:Ah hey thanks looks like that does work. The captchas may drive away potential legitimate editors though, so. [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 01:54, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
::Also, i just realized that registration captchas in questy format is how the spambots did not register any longer in wikirby (whatever that might mean). Fukaba just told me, so. [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 01:56, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

== Language barrier ==

The difficult thing about helping out on Starfy Wiki is the language barrier. Almost all the games are in Japanese, and i cant speak Japanese. Are you able to speak the language? [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 02:29, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

== Hi! ==

Hey Torchickens! Sorry I didn't see this until now... I've been doing fine despite being usually busy with life. Do you like your current flat? This wiki pretty much covered a majority of the content from the Starfy series in all other aspects. It has been a long time since Starfy has had a new game, but at least Starfy returns in the new Smash. Mermaid also returned in the new Smash as a spirit. Also thanks for keeping maintenance for the wiki after all this time! What kind of RPG game have you been making? Did you also try out the recent remake of Kanto? --[[User:Kagegamer12|Kagegamer12]] ([[User talk:Kagegamer12|talk]]) 04:13, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

:At the very least, you will own a place that you can call your very own. ^^ it is nice that the Smash series made more than one reference to the Starfy series. The game could have only mentioned Starfy alone, but the game decided to add other Starfy series characters in there as well.

:Sounds pretty deep, let me know of the progress you made with the game after awhile. Celeste kind of looked tough, but I might give it a look some day. Well you should join a group that shares your struggle if it will make you less lonely as a result. Most likely those people would share that discrimination as well, and there is more strength united than if tackled alone.

:I can agree to that. It is much better if projects can be done at your own pace than doing them on either a deadline or in a bad time. :D

:I also picked the Eevee version! While I do prefer battling over the Pokemon Go catch mechanics, I like having Pokemon show up visibly. I can pick and choose who I want to catch without having to deal with random encounters all the time. The arrangement does sound pretty nice despite not being able to use a bike in that game.

:Well I've tried out some of the recent Nintendo games like Super Mario Odyssey, Kirby Star Allies, Breath of the Wild, Mega Man 11, and Pokemon Ultra Moon. Have you heard of Undertale? The game seems most similar to Earthbound, but it is pretty unique on its own. The characters are all great and memorable, and the story changes based on how you deal with enemies and bosses. You can even potentially beat the game without killing anyone. --[[User:Kagegamer12|Kagegamer12]] ([[User talk:Kagegamer12|talk]]) 21:35, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

::Yeah! Smash Bros has really done a good job showing off obscure Nintendo games and characters in general. My favorite obscure series personally is Chibi Robo.

::It is your game, so convey your message how you want it to be seen by others. I played a bit of VVVVVVV, it was alright. I also tried out Gunman Clive and Cave Story for the 3DS. Gunman Clive was a pretty decent run 'n gun platformer. You can even play as a duck that can only dodge everything. Cave Story was a pretty good intense platformer too with interesting characters and plot.

::As long as the two of remain good friends with each other, you won't be alone. ^^

::Yeah, I think Evie is a nice name too! Right, especially in caves where these encounters happen all the time.

::Well, it can get pretty dark if you kill monsters in that game, and the underground itself may seem unsettling in certain areas. However, the game does have some dynamic and quirky characters. If you spare your enemies they will become your friends. If you try to kill everyone, certain bosses will fight you as if you are the true evil of this world. While Flowey is scary, the rest of the characters aren't that bad. Your character can literally go on a date with a couple of the bosses.

::I've done a marathon of all the Classic, X, and Starforce games in the past including some of the spinoffs. What do you think of the Mega Man series in general?

::Happy New Year to you too! Yeah I have the game, and I beaten the story mode. I don't really have a main yet, but I liked playing as Little Mac against the spirits. Yeah, the spirits board adds some replayability once everything else is done. [[User:Kagegamer12|Kagegamer12]] ([[User talk:Kagegamer12|talk]]) 00:32, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

== Captcha 2 ==

I wasn't able to come to my computer yesterday, so coming back to the site today, I find a lot of spam spanning from Friday evening. I'm not able to take care of it all right now, I have more important matters to get to. Is there any way you can convince the site admins to install a better captcha so this doesn't happen again? And is there a way you can remove all the recent talk pages and/or mass block recent accounts? [[User:Alex95|Alex95]] ([[User talk:Alex95|talk]]) 16:51, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
:Yeah, I pinged Tappy (rather, Starfy Wiki as a whole) in Discord a few days ago and he went ahead with a wiki update and cleared out all the spam. Doesn't seem like the captcha problem was fixed, though. [[User:Alex95|Alex95]] ([[User talk:Alex95|talk]]) 16:12, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Just because there's new information obtained illegally doesn't mean we shouldn't cover it. The content is official, and as long as we don't directly link to the content itself, we should be fine.

== RE: Insect ==

So I've managed to locate a "master table" of every object in every map. There's a table at <tt>0x15C018</tt> that's 23 pointers long, 1 for each stage. Inside each of those pointers is another table of pointers corresponding to each area, and inside ''those'' pointers is another table for each map, which leads to 4 bytes telling you how many objects are in the map, and the next 4 bytes are a pointer to the map's array of object data (24 bytes specify each object). I've been meaning to put all my findings into a Google site to be easier to read, it's taking a while 'cause I can't make classic Google sites anymore and have to make a "New" one. (this is also a reminder to migrate ''your'' Google site soon).

This is another situation where editing the ROM directly is just much more efficient. For a fast way to look at objects, I changed the 4 bytes at <tt>0x19CC98</tt>. This is <tt>0x00000003</tt> by default and affects one of the first pearls you see in Stage 1-1 (subsequent visits). To get the insect, I just changed this value to <tt>0x00000005</tt>. I can most likely change this pearl to other objects (like doors), but they'll break unless I adjust the behavior parameters (the 16 following bytes in the ROM). [[User:Dimedime|Dimedime]] ([[User talk:Dimedime|talk]]) 14:14, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I've tallied every object in every map, and it appears that this insect is ''completely'' unreferenced in the game, even in the test stage. So, the only way to make it to appear is to replace an existing object like I did with editing the ROM. [[User:Dimedime|Dimedime]] ([[User talk:Dimedime|talk]]) 14:16, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
:Thank you so much! ^^ I'll experiment with this information. I was actually trying to do the same (just a way to spawn any enemy or object though really) at some point but gave up until I had more insight; so this really helps, and I can probably use that to make articles for every unique (indexed) object in Starfy 2. Maybe Starfy 3 and maybe even 1 use the same kind of data structure? Interesting, while speculating, I wonder if it's in Starfy 1 too, and/or what kind of unused objects the original may have. I also wondered about the jellyfish character which according to an interview Starfy was originally considered to be, but if there's anything left of it at all maybe it just became [[Jueri]]. [[User:Torchickens|Torchickens]] ([[User talk:Torchickens|talk]]) 15:36, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
:Oh no, sorry to hear that and I hope they don't break the old Google Sites completely. Thanks I'll back up everything from my sites for now. Also I reached my storage limit on it recently so had to delete one of the "other game save files", but it was a Looney Tunes game and (I overlooked) the save I had didn't even make it far in the story or complete it, so I suppose that was reasonable.

== Nintendo Switch Online ==

Good Morning,
Two days ago, it was announced that the original 3 Starfy games were going to be added to the Nintendo Switch Online service. Doing my normal browsing of the Nintendo Wikis, I checked this wiki's main page to see if they had caught the news, and to my surprise nothing was listed there. If I was able to, I would of added the news myself but I cannot. I've gone and edited the pages for the games added to address the news, but would you be able to edit the wiki's news page? Thank you, and have a great day. --[[User:Logangsta|Logangsta]] ([[User talk:Logangsta|talk]]) 01:23, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

== Main Page Social Media Links==
I believe the social media portion of the main page is in need of an overhaul. To start, the Pufftop Discord server has effectively replaced the Starfy subreddit it spawned from, and is multitudes more popular than it ever was. I believe a link to the Discord would should replace the link to the inactive subreddit. Next, Colorful Planet for years now has failed at their end of the bargain with the banner-for-banner relationship. The site is almost entirely scrubbed of any Starfy content, including referrals to this Wiki. Further, Starfy's Journal is a decade old unfinished web comic that is currently a dead link. Now is the perfect opportunity to replace it with a link to the Star of Sand Ocean Wiki, a new and regularly updated pair of Starfy web comics. Furthermore, I do not believe that the Starfy Fan Club should have been featured in the first place. It was clearly made by someone young in their spare time, and has not been updated since. Finally, the YouTube topic function has updated and the current link is dead. Now there is an individual channel for each of the five games.

Two more things. First, I think there should be a link to the [http://sutahimitu.fc2web.com/sutadou/sutafi-doumei.html Starfy Alliance]. It is also an old website without updates, but I think it would be cool if people sill made themselves members of the alliance. Second, the Project Pufftop Twitter account should be featured, if only to represent the Twitter presence of Starfy fans. -- [[User:Jubei|Jubei]] ([[User talk:Jubei|talk]]) 17:02, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

==Box Art Uploader Error==
I was trying to upload some higher-resolution versions of the GBA Starfy box arts (which can be found [https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/nintendoswitchonline/sheet/194178/ here], go into the shared folder), however I was alerted that the page was protected by you. Would you be able to upload these files instead for me? These files are much better than what we currently have on the wiki. --[[User:Logangsta|Logangsta]] ([[User talk:Logangsta|talk]]) 09:46, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

G'day, I'm Logangsta, (aka PoochyBoyL). I am fairly new around here. I joined this wiki (and found out about it) thanks to the addition of the 3 Game Boy Advance Starfy games appearing on Nintendo Switch Online. I'm hoping to play these games at some point, if I can get past the language barrier.

Also, for Cross Wiki Week 2024, I will be doing more frequent editing here, mainly going through the unused and uncategorized files. I'll be also editing on [[pikipedia:User:Logangsta|Pikipedia]] and [[chibirobo:User:Logangsta|The Chibi-Robo! Wiki]] so keep an eye out!

:I think we should scrap "locations" for "worlds" (which are officially called stages btw) and "levels." I also think we should remove "playable characters" since there are only 2 (unless you count Bunston and his transformations) --[[User:Starfy|Starfy]] 17:50, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

::So far, there are 8 contents: Characters, Playable characters, Enemies, Bosses, Locations, Transformations, Gameplay, Minigames.

I think locations should stay, but you're right, playable characters have to go. - [[User:BattleFranky202|BattleFranky202]] 02:01, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

:::Locations could stay, but I think it would be awkward having Stages (or worlds if you call them that) and Locations. There aren't any locations that I can think of that aren't stages. It doesn't really matter which one we chose because they end up being having the same contents. If you wanted to reduce the number of categories on the front page you could combine transformations with gameplay and call it something like "abilities" --[[User:Starfy|Starfy]] 13:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I haven't been able to find the full mangas, but the pictures look pretty good! If anybody here has the mangas, you should add some pictures from them and info about them. Maybe they have some things that weren't in the games. It also makes me question if we will ever see a Starfy anime (Although there are anime shorts/commercials, those don't really count)...

==Duplicate articles==

We have duplicates of the [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|Densetsu no Stafy]] [[Densetsu no Stafy|1]], [[Densetsu no Stafy 2|2]] and [[Densetsu no Stafy 2|3]] articles using the US localized Starfy (e.g. [[Densetsu no Starfy]]) in their titles instead of Stafy. Should these pages be converted into redirects? --[[User:Torchickens|Torchickens]] 21:41, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

==The Poll==
What just happened with the poll??? It seems about 21 voters or so just joined and voted on the poll. It seems a lot of them voted for Mashtooth (Probably because he is the villain from the only English game in the series so far)...

==Domain Downtime==

<div style="color: #2f2f2f; border: 3px #cecece solid; background: #e9e9e9; padding: 3px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">
Starfy Wiki's domain will be transferring tomorrow to a different registrar, during this time (~7 days) http://starfywiki.org will most likely be unavailable. I have setup http://starfy.gam1ng.com as a temporary fix so that it is sill possible to work on the wiki. Sorry for the rush of this but it needs to be done. The transfer will start sometime tomorrow (2/22/2011). I ask that you start using http://starfy.gam1ng.com
that way if there are any issues I can solve that before the transfer. You can contact me by e-mailing: tappy(at)zeldafan.net thanks.

*Update: Transfer will not begin until Feb 27 2011 12:00AM (EST)
*Transfer has been completed. Everything should be working as it used to. You can return to using http://starfywiki.org
</div>

==NIWA Contact page==

I was going to PM the other staff about this via the NIWA forums, but I thought that it would be more efficient to discuss it here. On the [http://www.niwanetwork.org/contact.php NIWA contact page] there is no section for Starfy Wiki. {{user|The Forgotten Beast}} and I unfortunately haven't heard a response from BattleFranky since April. Does anybody in particular want to take the responsibility of responding to emails, or are the others fine if I just use my email address (chickasaurus@hotmail.co.uk)?

Additionally, should we have a Starfy board on [http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/index.php?board=3.0 NIWA forums], or should it link back to Starfy Wiki, what does everyone else think? I'm addressing this to everyone who reads this.

Thanks! --[[User:Torchickens|Torchickens]] 12:18, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

==Densetsu no ''Stafy'' or ''Starfy''?==

A few months ago, ''Densetsu no Stafy'' [#] and ''Densetsu no Starfy'' [#] were duplicate articles, so {{user|The Forgotten Beast}} moved all Densetsu no Stafy to Densetsu no Starfy. Should we stick to this plan of using ''Densetsu no Starfy''?
:I didn't go about changing every instance of 'Stafy' to 'Starfy', but did when editing some of the articles which needed to be edited for other things like adding navboxes because I wasn't really sure what we thought about it and didn't want to go around changing absolutely everything. On one hand, Stafy is the original Japanese title and the Game Boy Advance games and ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4|Densetsu no Sta(rf)y 4]]'' were never released outside of Japan, though on the other hand Starfy is the localized name, and calling sutafī 'Stafy' assumes Japanese phonology for an English Wiki, where Starfy is still called Stafy in ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'' in Japan. What does everyone think? --[[User:Torchickens|Torchickens]] 21:40, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

==NIWA Meeting Round up==
Hello, recently, there was a NIWA Staff Meeting. I didn't know about this until recently, so I decided to join in to represent us.

#So, during the meeting, founder of NIWA Liam asked for us to add more interwiki links to our sidebar and such, this will increase Google Rating, Overall traffic, etc. Well, We can also add to our traffic by creating an Affiliates section. Here is an example: [http://mutecity.org/index.php/F-Zero_Wiki:Affiliates here]. This could help us greatly. We would need a banner, and a wave of affiliates. I can affiliate us with F-Zero Wiki and Icaruspedia, but we need more than just that. So, what do you guys think?
#We have also been encouraged to reach out to other sites for affiliation. Maybe not Starfy related, but general Nintendo fan sites?

===Affiliation ideas===
:There is a web-comic called [http://starfy.smackjeeves.com/ Starfy's Journal], but I don't know how active they are at the present moment, as their last update was in March, 2010. I would recommend two really active Starfy fan-sites, both in Japanese. The first is [http://wwwa.pikara.ne.jp/colorfulplanet/index.html Colorful Planet] - it's also a Zelda, Pokémon, MOTHER and Metroid fansite and it's also a good resource for Starfy music. There is also [http://imasara217.blog33.fc2.com/ 今更　りとるY様] - a Starfy fan-art blog who usually have weekly activity. I'm sure they'd appreciate us, but the language barrier would make it difficult to communicate. {{user|Star_Light}}, however who has experience with the Japanese language may be able to help us in that respect.

:As for non-Starfy, non-NIWA sites it would probably be best to look for Nintendo fan-sites actively seeking affiliation. Unfortunately I don't know of such sites in particular, because many Nintendo sites like GoNintendo and NinDB are already well-established and may not be interested in us. :( The N-Wiki is affiliated with a German Nintendo Wiki though... --[[User:Torchickens|Torchickens]] 22:01, 21 January 2012 (EST)

:I've got nothing on non-NIWA websites, but being one of the heads of Donkey Kong Wiki I declare an affiliation between my two main wikis! (except we don't have a banner for DK Wiki...). I'm also the head and founder of numerous wikis on Wikia, can wikia wikis affiliate or do we have a rule about that? -[[User:The Forgotten Beast|The Forgotten Beast]] 22:26, 21 January 2012 (EST)
::I would agree with affiliating with Donkey Kong Wiki :). I don't know if we can link to Wikia wikis unfortunately, I'll look into it on the NIWA forums tomorrow. Fundamentally, I don't see a problem; and although to a degree we stand against what Wikia is doing, I don't believe there should be the stigma against Wikia communities themselves, and I think that's something which should probably be stressed by the NIWA community. On the Starfy Wikia, I believe we were affiliated with Starfy Fanon Wiki? --[[User:Torchickens|Torchickens]] 22:41, 21 January 2012 (EST)
:::We were affiliated with the fanon wiki but it appeared to have sort of died out. -[[User:The Forgotten Beast|The Forgotten Beast]] 22:44, 21 January 2012 (EST)
:That's a shame about Starfy Fanon Wiki. Well, I had a look through the NIWA forums and it looks like there isn't any hard rule on not being able to affiliate with a non-independent Wiki. When [http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Main_Page Wikisimpsons] requested affiliation with NIWA, [http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/index.php?topic=568.0 they were originally still hosted on Shoutbox] and the consensus was that they shouldn't be declined hosting for being hosted on Shoutbox. In the same discussion, Adam from Wikirby later suggested that if a good Wikia site ever wanted to affiliate with NIWA, then it would be "foolish to turn them down". For this reason, I don't think there's anything against us being able to affiliate with the other Wikis which you manage. We haven't got a response from the art requests thread yet on SEIWA Alliance yet, but since then {{user|Starphoria}} designed a banner. Should we tell them that we are ready for affiliation, or wait a little longer first? --[[User:Torchickens|Torchickens]] 09:30, 22 January 2012 (EST)
:::I would make sure the Wikia wiki is well developed at least and quite active. Pikmin Fanon is affiliated with Fantendo, so Wikia wikis are not against a rule.

It would look bigger and we could make it look even more of a seascape. Heck, we could even have an image of the surface of the ocean where the header is. It would look awesome.

== I am thinking it would be cool to add a new section about Stage Maps. ==

I have searched around a long time trying to find good maps for the basic layout of each of he stages. So I decided I'd do them for myself. The maps won't be so detailed I think. They will only contain basic information like which door leads to which and where is the boss located. I wondered it'd be cool if there where maps with little spoiler information or little guidelines, just like the super Metroid map. I think it would fit Starfy well since after beating the game, the post-game missions (like obtaining all the treasures in ''Densetsu no Stafy'') require a lot of exploration in each level. I am going to begin to work on the maps today or soon enough, so feel free to tell me if like or don't like the idea.

Over on [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Uyd2ipzetepgl63c the Mediawiki Support Desk]], I found out some information about an extension that lets you delete a ton of accounts at once. The downside is that the extension connected to this is archived, meaning it most likely won't work on this wiki. HOWEVER, if you were an admin of course, you could manually delete each of the accounts that haven't made any edits. Once that's done, it's just the matter of keeping an eye for new accounts just like this. I know that it would take a very long time, but maybe creating (or promoting) a few new admins would speed the process.

Hi there, a few weeks ago, I asked a question on your alt account's talk page about updating the main page's news section to mention the first 3 Starfy games coming to Nintendo Switch Online. Is it still possible to edit that page with this account, or is there anyone else I could ask this question to?

:Sure, thank you so much ^^ I'll try and look into why no one can seemingly edit when I get back as I'm in hospital right now or you could pass it around NIWA to save this wiki. Yeah, so if you press details on Nintendo Switch Online, a few information was changed such as Ogura to a ruffian. The games here in the UK are called on my NSO account Densetsu no Stafy 1, Densetsu no Stafy 2, Densetsu no Stafy 3 when you press X (details) while Starfy himself is still called Starfy, etc. [[User:SiriusDevoured|SiriusDevoured]] ([[User talk:SiriusDevoured|talk]]) 13:36, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

:I don't want to be taking sides though, as localisation is still well to protect the audience playimg, for younger players may not want their parents seeing Ogura as a demon (misunderstood fierce deity kami) and Evil as an arch demon (aku kami.. kind of like the Cartoon Network character Aku from Samurai Jack.

'''Starfy''' (known in Japan as '''Sutafī''', officially romanized as '''Stafy''', also appearing as '''Stafi''' on the [http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/cpyrghts/dsplySrch.do?lang=eng Canadian Copyrights Database]) is the main protagonist of the [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. He is the prince of the [[Pufftop|Pufftop Kingdom]], along with his best friend, [[Moe]] the clam, and his younger sister, [[Starly]]. They all live in the [[Pufftop|Pufftop Palace]] but Moe also has a house of his own.

Only Starfy can perform the [[Air Jump]], the [[Powerful Spin]] (which involves spinning with Moe, though it can be used when Moe isn't present, suggesting that the ability doesn't necessarily involve the real Moe), the [[Star Spin#Mighty Star Spin|Mighty Star Spin]] and the [[Star Spin#Ultra Star Spin|Ultra Star Spin]].

According to the lyrics of all versions of the series [[Title Song (music)|Title Song]] except for [[Perfume]]'s, he is 36 cm tall and 7 years old. He is voiced by [[Satomi Kōrogi]] in Japanese commercials and ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''. His hobbies include collecting [[sunglasses]] and making pretend transformations.

==Species==
According to [[Hitoshi Yamagami]] of [[Nintendo]], Starfy is a "kind of mysterious creature that is somewhere between a starfish and a real celestial star"<ref>[[Nintendo Power]], Volume 244 (August 2009), [http://i2.minus.com/jJM8mSopmpPyk.jpg pp. 74]</ref>, even though he is called a starfish in ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''.

In Starfy's Japanese ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' [[Starfy#Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS|trophy description]], he is referred to as a creature like a star who looks like a starfish. In {{alttext|an official translation|EU English version from England}}, of the trophy description, it says that nobody knows what species Starfy really is.

==Personality==
Starfy is a nice and friendly character who likes to solve other people's problems. Starfy smiles almost all of the time, and this may portray him as a content and relaxed person. Although Starfy shows negative emotions such as sadness and fear, these are shown often only for a short time. His best friend Moe gave him emotional support to stop crying in ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'' after his mother [[Mama Star]] was kidnapped by Ogura, and Moe tried to raise Starfy's spirits in his room when it was revealed that [[Mattel]]; Starfy's crush was engaged to [[Coral]]. In ''The Legendary Starfy'', Starfy may come over as childish in the way that he makes high pitched squeals when he is happy.

Starfy is apparently very forgetful in the way that he forgets most of his [[abilities]] for each game and has to relearn them. Starfy is also very lazy, even though according to his ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' [[smashwiki:trophy|trophy]] he tries his hardest when he sets his mind to something. In ''The Legendary Starfy'', according to a [[Pufftop Guard]], he gets up to eat a late breakfast, takes a nap before he goes out to play, takes a second nap, eats lunch and then has another nap. Starfy likes to use the [[Story]] option to look back at his adventures.

According to Starly's trophy from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Starfy is sometimes spineless, and this may be supported by how Starfy ran around freaked out and hid inside of Moe's shell when debris started to fall during the opening of ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'', after Ogura had escaped from the jar with the help of the [[Puchi Ogura]]. Starfy occasionally shows to be brave though, through being persistent in his efforts and through fighting [[boss]]es.

In the ''[[Densetsu no Starfy R]]'' manga, a good example of how Starfy can come across brave is in the final chapter, "[[DSR13|For Those Whom I Must Protect......]]" where Starfy went into the sky to puncture a hole in a meteor and pushed it off course, but it is possible that Starfy's desire to help Mattel by saving the [[Amiy Kingdom]] influenced Starfy.

Though Starfy likes adventure, he acted against starting an adventure in ''Densetsu no Starfy 3''. In the beginning of ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'', Starly was the first one to take action and do something about the problem surrounding how the jar was destroyed and the fact that Ogura's personage ([[Evil]]) was around. She forced Starfy and Moe into their third adventure by pushing them into the ocean while they resisted.

In ''The Legendary Starfy'', Starfy was eager to help [[Bunston]] from the start after he crashed through Starfy's room and ran away. Starfy went off the edge of Pufftop even though Moe grabbed Starfy and tried to stop him. In a 2009 teleconference between [[Nintendo]]/[[TOSE]] and [http://www.nintendolife.com/ Nintendo Life], [[Kazuki Yoshihara]] states that Starfy has grown to be "less of a crybaby" than in the first game, and states that he's "a bit more grown up in the way that he helps out the other characters in the game". <ref>[http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2009/05/interviews_nintendotose_the_legendary_starfy Interviews Nintendo TOSE - The Legendary Starfy - DS News @ Nintendo Life]</ref>. In an unofficial manga based on ''The Legendary Starfy'' called [[Defeat the Enemy!]] though, Starfy was too scared to fight a group of fish resembling [[Fwip]]s, and Starly had to step and spin him around so he could defeat them.

Starfy is described in the lyrics of the series' [[Title Song (music)|Title Song]] and his ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' trophy as being a "little spacey and clumsy", and this can be supported by the fact that in the beginning of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' Starfy walked around Pufftop Palace and carelessly knocked over the [[jar]], apparently being unaware of his surroundings. Additionally, after Starfy successfully defeated [[Ogura]], trapped him back inside the jar and returned to Pufftop, he knocked over forty five [[treasure|treasure chests]] while wandering around, so this caused Moe to chase Starfy and this lead to Starfy knocking over the jar again. Starfy proved to be persistent however by collecting all forty five [[Treasure Items]], trapping Ogura in the jar again, and temporarily bringing peace back to Pufftop.

Starfy has a liking for [[treasure]], but not as much as [[Moe]] or [[Wario]]. Starfy's hobbies include collecting [[sunglasses]], and according to [[℃-ute]]'s version of the series' Title Song, making pretend transformations (either referring to wearing [[Stuff]]; as the video shows Starfy wearing Stuff after this line, or the transformations/vehicles Starfy uses in the game. Starfy's other hobby could also be both).

Starfy may come across as eccentric in some cases. In [[DSR01|chapter one of the ''Densetsu no Starfy R'' manga]] ("Starfy's Love Attack"), Starfy wore spiral glasses, a "hissho" [[wikipedia:hachimaki|hachimaki]] headband and a thick tattered suit in Pufftop Palace after he developed a crush on Mattel. In [[DSR02|chapter two]] ("Super Difficult! Love of a Young Girl") and [[DSR05|chapter five]] ("Holy Place of Otaku, Viva! Akiba!!"), Starfy wore a peculiar suit with spiral glasses, a 'head handkerchief', a striped jacket and a shirt with a character on it. In chapter five, Starfy thought that the Fii remotes in a shop were used for knitting rather than hitting a ball on the screen with rackets and knitted a cloth.

Starfy shows respect for his younger sister Starly as well as Moe. In ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'', in area 2 of [[Misty Town]] Starfy [[Duck & Slide|duck and slided]] into some falling knives and chairs so that he would take the 'attack' instead of Starly. Starfy was on the receiving end of [[wikipedia:physical humor|physical humor]] in this case, as after Starly blew up the chairs and knives with a [[bomb]] it turned out that he was fast asleep the whole time.

According to [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/ Smash Bros. DOJO!!], the fact that Starfy came to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is "part of his charm"<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/assist/assist13.html Smash Bros. DOJO!! - Stafy]</ref>, but it is not clear exactly what the writer means.

Starfy is rarely shown to be angry or aggressive in the games, though one instance of such is in ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'' before [[Arasoinomon]] reveals itself,when he got into an argument with Moe about his feelings for ''[[Mattel]]''. He was asking Starfy if he liked her and Starfy misunderstood, and thought Moe liked her as well. The misunderstanding caused Moe to take offence and run off. Starfy may be angry or aggressive in other media including [[manga]] and commercials, but not always and he has good intentions at heart.

In [[DSM04|chapter 4 of the ''Densetsu no Starfy'' Yumiko Sudō manga]] ("I Hate Old Man Lobber Fii!"), Starfy was mad at [[Old Man Lobber]] for giving him a coconut (it is assumable that he did not like it), and tipped up his table, but after Starfy and Old Man Lobber became separated after being swallowed by [[The Whale|the whale]], Starfy cried when he saw the coconut with teeth marks on it, thinking of all the good things Old Man Lobber had done for him.

In [[DSR07|chapter 7 of the ''Densetsu no Starfy R'' manga]] ("Pufftop Kingdom, Game King Playoff"), Starfy and Starly both pulled an angry face near the end of the story when debating on what the best games console is but Moe came to calm them down and let them agree that both the [[Nintendo DS|FS]] and [[Wii|Tenkaido Fii]] are equally good.

[http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=3829 In a commercial] for ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'', Starfy was shown to be angry when Mattel called out for help, raising his arms to show muscles and pulling an angry face with his teeth together on the way to the Amiy Kingdom. In [http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=3839 another commercial], after [[Degil]] raised the [[Mon Amour Stone]], this made Starfy angry, having him raise his arms to show muscles and be surrounded by a red spiky glow.

== Biography ==

===Before Densetsu no Starfy===
Starfy was born in the Pufftop Kingdom to Papa and Mama Star and sometime after he was born his sister Starly was born, for 7 years Starfy and the people of Pufftop lived in peace but when Starfy was 7, his first great adventure would begin.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''===
Starfy goes on his first adventure during the events of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''. Starfy was moving things around his home, until he dropped a [[jar]] that sealed [[Ogura]], which fell into the ocean. After the jar fell, thunderstorms and tornadoes blew Starfy into the ocean. Many new friends, such as [[Moe]] and [[Old Man Lobber]], helped Starfy to get back to [[Pufftop Kingdom]] and told him about Ogura, and Starfy and his friends fought and sealed Ogura back into the jar.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''===
Starfy starts out on yet his second adventure, as he falls from Pufftop once again, along with his best friend, [[Moe]]. Also, his mom, [[Mama Star]] gets kidnapped by Ogura.

{{spoiler}}
Eventually Starfy managed to chase Ogura to [[Ogura Castle]], and in spite of Ogura’s attempts to get rid of him, by sending [[Trappa]]s to kick Starfy back to the entrance, trapping Moe in a cage with a fake Ruby, and trying to kill Starfy and Moe with poison gas, Starfy finally managed to face off against Ogura again. The first time Starfy and Ogura have their rematch though, Ogura is too strong and Starfy loses. Ogura then proceeds to beat up Starfy while he is down. Moe rished in to protect Starfy but Ogura decides to end things with a final blow. Before Ogura can kill Starfy and moe though, Old Man Lobber holds Ogura back and causes Ogura to use up some of his power to fight off Old Man Lobber weakening Ogura. Ogura retreats and Starfy having recovered from his wounds follows Ogura. The two have another battle with the fate of Mama Star at stake. If Starfy wins, Ogura has to go back into the jar and Starfy rescues his mother, but if Ogura wins, Starfy will die and Mama Star will forever be Ogura’s prisoner. Starfy wins, imprisons Ogura again and he is reunited with his mother Mama Star.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''===
Yet again, Starfy falls to a exciting adventure, this time along with [[Moe]] and his sister, [[Starly]], who Moe calls a "pink powder keg".

{{spoiler}}
In [[Misty Town]]’s [[Area]] 2, Starly and Moe are oblivious that knives and chairs are aiming right for them, Starfy however notices and he pushes them out of the way only for him to get trapped by the cutlery and furniture himself. Starly rescues Starfy by blowing up the objects with a bomb. Later in Area 3 when Starfy, Starly and Moe catch up with Mad Piero, he gives a treasure chest to Starfy but it is really a trap and it imprisons Starfy. Mad Piero then takes the treasure chest and hides in Area 4, essentially kidnapping Starfy. Starly has to rescue him again by attacking the treasure chest enemy that has Starfy in it.
{{endspoiler}}

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''===
The [[Amiy Kingdom]] is in trouble and Starfy and friends have to help the citizens of Amiy Kingdom.

===''The Legendary Starfy''===
Starfy meets and helps a mysterious [[Bunston|bunny rabbit-like creature]] during the events of ''The Legendary Starfy''. One day, Starfy was having a peaceful nap, then a strange bunny rabbit crashed through the roof and landed on Starfy. Starfy stared and tried to make the unexpected visitor talk, until [[The Terrible Trio|three shadowy goons]] crashed through the walls and tried to kidnap the bunny. Starfy became angry and used his [[Star Spin]] move on the goons, which made them run away. [[Moe]] entered Starfy's room and told him that the strange bunny figure jumped into the ocean, so Starfy and Moe went after him.

Once Starfy and Moe entered the ocean, they found the bunny, who was called Bunston. He had amnesia and the only way to gain his memory back was by finding [[Shard|shards]]. Starfy, Moe, and Bunston (sometimes Starly too) had to travel to [[Gluglug Lagoon]] and many other places to find every shards. Along the way, the shadowy goons, which was revealed to be a team of [[Snips]], [[Ronk]], and [[Papes]], tried to kidnap Bunston and stop Starfy and Moe from getting all of the shards.

Bunston's memory returned and remembered that he was a prince and his planet [[Planet Bunnera|Bunnera]] was in danger by the evil [[Mashtooth]], so he used the shards to fix his rocket ship and he, Starfy, and Moe traveled to Bunnera. When Starfy, Bunston, and Moe entered the Bunnera Castle, Starfy dueled with Mashtooth and won, until Mashtooth absorbed Bunston's power and transformed into [[Mashtooth#Second Form - Mega Mashtooth|Mega Mashtooth]]. Starfy and Moe got beaten up by Mega Mashtooth until the Terrible Trio came and helped Starfy. Many of Starfy's friends cheered Starfy on, which gave him the strength to face Mega Mashtooth. Starfy pushed the Bunnera [[The Moon|moon]] at Mega Mashtooth, which defeated him, gave the Bunnerans their powers back, and made Bunnera back in peace.

[[Fork]] is established as the self-proclaimed rival to Starfy in swimming; and they compete in swimming contests. However, Moe is protective of Starfy and doesn't want to accept the sentiment of Fork being his rival, with Fork and [[Fork's brother|his brother]] having bullied and attacked Moe since ''Densetsu no Starfy'', and Fork still suffering from narcissism.

====[[Toys|Toy]] description====
"It's everybody's favorite lovable, clumsy prince of Pufftop! Not many people know Starfy collects sunglasses. Have you seen him wearing 'em?" (#096)

==Starfy's name==
Before the announcement of ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'' for North America, there was no official localization for Starfy's name. When romanized, "スタフィー" can be represented as Sutafī (Sutafii), but an official romanization of his name as displayed in the URLs of the official [[List of official The Legendary Starfy series websites#Densetsu no Starfy / Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)|Nintendo Space World webpages]], the [[Staff Credits|''Densetsu no Starfy'' Staff Credits]], the ROM headers of the games, a [[mariowiki:Yoshi Theater (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Yoshi Theater]] poster in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', three of the [[stuff]] [[Densetsu no Starfy 2/Stuff|in ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'']] ("Stafy" is written on the following items: "Uniform", "Wrestler Clothes" and "Baseball Cap") and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is "Stafy". Likewise, Starfy's younger sister [[Starly]] is referred to in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as "Stapy".

Regardless of the official romanization, Starfy was referred to as other names, including "Sutafi", "Stafi"<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/videos/densetsu-no-stafi-4-gameplay-movie-3/2300-6147853/ Densetsu no Stafi 4 Gameplay Movie 3 - GameSpot]</ref> (also appearing like this on the Canadian Copyrights Database) and "Starfi"<ref>[http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/starfi-too-cute-for-western-consumption.60936017/ Starfi - Too cute for Western consumption - IGN boards]</ref> and sometimes still is after the localization of his name to "Starfy".

On February 26, 2009, ''Densetsu no Starfy: Taiketsu Daiiru Kaizokudan'' was announced to be released overseas on June 8, 2009, via a list of upcoming video games on the [http://press.nintendo.com/loginSplash.jsp Nintendo's Online Press Room] website as ''The Legendary Starfy''. <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090303215207/http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=17588 NINTENDO'S VIDEO GAME LINEUP DEMONSTRATES GAMING DIVERSITY - Archived version from March 3rd, 2009 on Wayback Machine]</ref> This new title as well as a section on the page talking about the gameplay confirmed Stafy's North American name as Starfy.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]==
Starfy appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where his primary appearance is as an [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]]. Starfy reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' as an Assist Trophy in both versions.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
[[File:Starfy SSBB.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Starfy as an Assist Trophy on the [[smashwiki:Final Destination|Final Destination]] stage]]
Starfy ("Stafy")'s primary appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is as an [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]]. An Assist Trophy is item that allows players to have another character help them in battle.

Starfy is known as one of the weakest Assist Trophies. Playable characters can attack and push him off the stage, unlike other Assist Trophies. Starfy's only method of attacking 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.

Additionally, both Starfy and his younger sister [[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 unlocked randomly.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''===
[[File:Starfy SSB 3DS.png|thumb|right|250px|Starfy Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''.]]
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.

====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.

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>

==Trivia==
*Satomi Kōrogi, the voice actress for Starfy is also known across [[Nintendo]] for providing the voices of several [[bulbapedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]] and characters in the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon anime|''Pokémon'' anime]] and [[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] including [[bulbapedia:Togepi (Pokémon)|Togepi]], [[bulbapedia:Pichu (Pokémon)|Pichu]] and [[bulbapedia:Mew (Pokémon)|Mew]].
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the trophy of Starfy ("Stafy")'s sister Starly ("Stapy") is indexed under the "Fighter Related" category even though Starfy is not a playable character in this game. Furthermore, no ''[[nwiki:Custom Robo (series)|Custom Robo]]'' or ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing]]'' trophies appear in the "Fighter Related" category even though Stafy, Ray MK III and [[nookipedia:Mr. Resetti|Mr. Resetti]] all appear as [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]].
**This has lead to speculation that Starfy may have once been planned as a playable character in the development of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
*Starfy's name in [[wikipedia:South Korea|South Korea]] is '스타피' (revised romanization: Seautapi).
*In ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', [[Herbert]] refers to Starfy as a "Starfy look-alike" when Starfy first meets him.
*Similar to his sister [[Starly]], there is [https://tickikids.com/zht-hk/kornhill-plaza/kornhill-plaza-x-raccoon-factory-starfy-adventure-korean-starfish-starfy-brings-a-land-of-mystery-and-magic/ a character from a different franchise] called Starfy, although not a Nintendo one.

==History==
==Story==
{{spoiler}}
The story of ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'' takes place sometime after the events of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''.

Starfy was walking around [[Pufftop|Pufftop Palace]], when suddenly he tripped, the clouds began to darken and debris began to fall from the sky; shocking everyone in the area. A [[Pufftop Guard]] was panicking and asked king [[Papa Star]] what was happening. The Pufftop Guard thought this was nonsense and wondered if Ogura had escaped again. Papa Star replied that it was nonsense and explained that Ogura was in no doubt sealed in the [[jar]]. They began to wonder why this was happening.

The scene changes to show an [[Evil|unknown being]] sitting on a chair. He wondered if Ogura had conquered [[Pufftop]] yet. On realizing he hadn't, the unknown being struck a lightning bolt on the jar, destroying it completely and releasing Ogura. Ogura floats over to Starfy and others, telling them that the jar had been smashed into small pieces. Ogura explains that he won't be defeated as long as he has a personage by his side and attacks [[Moe]] and Starfy, leaving them [[dizzy]]. Ogura then flies far away from Pufftop, laughing.

Starfy, Moe, Papa Star stick together and discuss the situation. Moe wonders what Ogura meant by the personage. Papa Star says as the problem stands they cannot afford to leave it alone. He tells Moe and Starfy that they must pursue Ogura and defeat him somehow. Moe becomes angry and calls Papa Star an idiot. He notes that the jar has already been smashed into pieces, and believes on all accounts their adventure isn't going to be beneficial. Papa Star becomes angry with Moe and asks "what are you talking about?", arguing that the peace of Pufftop is at stake.

Later, "[[Starly|a girl]]" appears. She jumps around Pufftop Palace and bounces off Moe. She asks why Starfy and others are "wasting time", which angers Moe. The name of the girl is called [[Starly]]. Starly pushes both Starfy and Moe off of the edge of Pufftop towards the ocean while they resist. Starly successfully pushes them off of the edge and then jumps off with them. As in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' and ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'', this time accompanied with both Starly and Moe, Starfy arrives at [[Lobber's Cave]].

Starfy, Starly and Moe's quest is to bring peace back to Pufftop, as they find out about the unknown being and pursue Ogura. On the way, Starfy, Starly and Moe travel through ten stages, fight bosses and help solve other character's problems. It is revealed early in the game in a flashback that Ogura was actually working for Evil a long time ago, since Ogura was young. He ordered Ogura to conquer Pufftop and defeat the legendary Starfy. [[Yugudorajii]] tells [[Starly]] that Ogura fled towards [[Coral Coast]] muttering something. In the flashback it is revealed that he was muttering "not good, not good" and was rushing to find Evil.

==History==

==Story==
''Densetsu no Starfy 2'' takes place sometime after the events of its predecessor, ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''. Times in the kingdom of [[Pufftop]] were peaceful once again after Ogura was trapped inside the [[jar]], but not until too long. Ogura was thinking how to escape from the jar for a long time. The jar was contained in a small room. One day, Starfy was playing with [[Moe]] while one of the [[Pufftop Guard]]s was sleeping.

Inside of the jar, Ogura moaned about Starfy and his parents. Later, Ogura thought about Starfy's family and had an idea. Ogura threw two black orbs out from his nose towards the top of the jar. They fell down and began to multiply and they soon developed into ten children which Ogura named the "[[Puchi Ogura]]". Ogura said it would be easy for them to escape from the jar as they are small. He then asked the ten Puchi Ogura to cause a storm, so they agreed and escaped from the jar and caused another storm to hit Pufftop. The storm frightened Starfy, Moe, [[Papa Star]], [[Mama Star]] and the Pufftop Guards as debris fell from the sky. Starfy then hid in Moe's clam for safety. The storm caused the jar to topple over and release Ogura and the Puchi Ogura. Ogura floated over to the main room of the Pufftop Palace, happy to be out at last and kidnapped Mama Star as revenge for Starfy trapping him inside of the jar. This terrified Starfy who then jumped out of Moe's clam and ran after Ogura and Mama Star.

Ogura leads Starfy to the edge of Pufftop Palace and Ogura floats down towards the ocean. Starfy cries and runs off to rescue Mama Star. Moe clings on to Starfy, telling him that it would take much effort for him to return to Pufftop. Starfy resists, so Starfy and Moe both fall off the edge of Pufftop on to a beach. Moe moans at Starfy, who is tearful and Starfy begins to cry, which Moe finds annoying. Starfy eventually stops crying. Moe asks Starfy to follow him and reassures him that he can get help from [[Old Man Lobber]] when he is troubled.

Like in ''Densetsu no Starfy'', Starfy and Moe help solve the problems of various characters as the player advances through stages. Ogura now has his own castle, and Starfy must advance through eleven stages to get to it and confront Ogura. The first ten stages have a boss battle with each of the ten Puchi Ogura and the final stage has a boss battle with Ogura.

While Mama Star was kidnapped, she dropped several treasures, known as [[Stuff]] for Starfy to collect every level. Some of them were stolen by the Puchi Ogura and can be obtained by defeating them at the end of each stage.

==Stages==
*[[Lobber's Cave]]
*[[Sea of Beginning]]
*[[Turtle Turtle Land]]
*[[Slippery Ice Alpine]]
*[[Large Tree's Forest]]
*[[Pitch Dark Cave]]

This game was later released in Japan for the [[Terminology#W|Wii U]] Virtual Console on July 29, 2015 for 702 yen (including tax)<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/software/vc/pcej/index.html 伝説のスタフィー｜Wii U｜Nintendo - Official Japanese Nintendo site (in Japanese)]</ref>, followed by it's first worldwide release in July 12th 2024<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/24197438/nintendo-switch-online-update-starfy-games-gba Nintendo Switch Online finally lets Nintendo’s adorable Starfy shine on the world’s stage Polygon],</ref> as part of the Game Boy Advance service on the [[nwiki:Nintendo_Switch_Online_Expansion_Pack|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]].
==History==
{{main|Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)}}
''See also: [[Nintendo World|Nintendo Space World]], [[Next Generation World Hobby Fair]], [[:Template:PRUNavbox|Prerelease information and unused content navigation box]]

This game began as a [[nwiki:Game Boy|Game Boy]] game. In November 1995, [[Nintendo]] producer [[Hitoshi Yamagami]]'s boss instructed him to create some kind of "floaty platformer". Hitoshi Yamagami would later collaborate with TOSE producer [[Yasuhiro Minamimoto]].<ref>[http://ds.nintendolife.com/news/2009/05/interviews_nintendotose_the_legendary_starfy Interviews: Nintendo/TOSE - The Legendary Starfy - DS News @ Nintendo Life (with insight about the development of Densetsu no Starfy)]</ref> It originally went under development as a balloon-lifting game, until being reworked as a game where the player has to control a bubble with a Nintendo character in it<ref>[[Nintendo Power]] [http://www.nintendopower.com/images/NP244_Starfy.jpg Volume 244, page 73]</ref> and later a floating character. Both a jellyfish and a starfish were initial considerations, and a starfish was eventually chosen for the game.

Development on this game continued through 1998 and as such, Nintendo encouraged TOSE to rework this game for the Game Boy Color. In 2000, the Game Boy Color version underwent a period of promotion, where details about the game began to surface on the official Japanese [[Nintendo]] website. The game was shown at [[Nintendo World|Nintendo Space World]] as [[Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)|''Densetsu no Starfy'' for the Game Boy Color]].

As the game was approaching its release for the Game Boy Color, it was again canceled and rebuilt for the Game Boy Advance which was only going to be released in 2001. Starfy was apparently going to be purely a starfish, until he was made to fall down from the sky, which supposedly invoked a community policy for TOSE to reply that Starfy is neither a star or a starfish when asked.

There are various differences between the Game Boy Color version and the final Game Boy Advance version still noticeable on Nintendo of Japan's page about the Nintendo Space World trial demo. For example, the official logo and some of the character artwork and names of characters were changed later in development, including [[Moe|Kyorosuke]] (Moe) who was originally known as "Kyororon". It should be noted however that the [[Nintendo World#Nintendo Space World 2001|Nintendo Space World 2001]] trial demo for the [[Game Boy Advance]] was promoted with the old logo used during the Game Boy Color period. There was also character artwork for the Game Boy Advance version from early in development, which although different (with the exception of [[Moe]]), were not final.

''Densetsu no Starfy'' was re-released in Japan for the Wii U Virtual Console on July 29, 2015 for 702 yen (including tax).
==Story==
{{spoiler}}
Surrounded by the vast sea there is a kingdom high above the clouds called [[Pufftop]]. Living there is Starfy, the prince of Pufftop. Starfy is often careless and clumsy in nature. Times were normally peaceful in Pufftop, until Starfy was carrying around valuable [[treasure]] and he accidentally dropped a [[jar]] into the ocean. Just then, the being inside the jar used his magical powers to create a terrible storm. Tornadoes then struck the Pufftop Palace. Starfy struggled to hang on, and eventually dropped into the ocean showing his [[Done For]] pose. Starfy fell straight into [[Lobber's Cave]], located on a small island.

A wise lobster, [[Old Man Lobber]] found Starfy in his cave and asked Starfy if he could hear him. After finding out that Starfy is OK, Old Man Lobber advises that Starfy should rest a while in his cave from the terrible storm. Old Man Lobber wonders what to do with Starfy, as he is too weak to return to Pufftop. Old Man Lobber mentions a friend of his, [[Herman]] and Starfy proceeds to find Herman.

Starfy finds Herman wearing an ordinary gray shell. He has lost his missing home; a conch shell called the [[Pretty Shell]] and Herman asks him to find it. After finding a [[Kettle]], Herman, believing it may have been washed further, gives Starfy a key leading to another part of the level, where Starfy finds a tusk shell - the [[Dentalium Shell]]. After finding the tusk shell, Herman - who finds the shell too small - thinks that it is behind the rocks. He then teaches Starfy how to use the [[Star Spin]] attack. Later, Starfy finds the colorful conch shell and returns it to Herman. Herman is very grateful for Starfy and leads Starfy to the next stage, [[Coral Reef]].

Herman asks Starfy to find his friend who is being chased by bad guys. One of the bad guys is seen swimming away, so Starfy follows him. Starfy advances to a room with two bad guys known as the [[Fork]] [[Fork's brother|brothers]]. When Starfy finds them to be picking on a yellow clam, he defeats them with his Star Spin. The yellow clam is revealed to be [[Moe]]. He reveals that "his dearest" [[Ruby]] was kidnapped by a bad guy called [[Konk]]. It was then Fork and his brother chased after him. Starfy and Moe become good friends, and Moe joins Starfy on his quest back to Pufftop, offering advice. Later, after destroying the Dentalium Shell and the Kettle that were blocking the water from flowing, Starfy finds and defeats Konk. Ruby returns and Moe is much happy to see her again. Starfy and Moe advance to [[Stranded Whale]].

Starfy and Moe decide to continue to help others on their way to Pufftop. Later in the quest, after Starfy and Moe clear the stage [[Sea of Ice]], Starfy finds an unknown demonic eel who came from the jar that Starfy knocked down before he fell into Lobber's Cave. He plans to submerge Starfy and Moe in the Deep Sea, and believes that the "strange clam" is unimportant and that Starfy is an annoyance.

Later on their adventure, Starfy advances to the [[Undersea Ruins]]. An ammonite called [[Horun]] then tries to attack Starfy and Moe. It is revealed that Horun was attacked by a huge creature resembling Starfy created by the demonic eel called [[Doppel]]. Horun tried to confront Doppel, but was left injured. Once Horun realizes who Starfy really is, he helps him and Moe find Pufftop.

Later, Starfy meets Old Man Lobber again, who asks Starfy if he can locate a legendary book called the [[Yogensho]] for him, which according to legend is said to be found in the temple. The two times that Starfy attempts to obtain the book, it disappears and he is blown away by the demonic eel. Old Man Lobber asks Starfy if he found the Yogensho, to which Starfy explains what happened. When Old Man Lobber says that Moe has gone missing, the demonic eel appears again and blows both Starfy and Old Man Lobber away.

When Starfy reunites with Old Man Lobber, he asks if Starfy arrived safely and if he can look for Moe. Moe has been kidnapped by a sea otter known as [[Rarako]]. When Starfy finds Rarako, Rarako thanks him for his 'food' and gives Starfy what he was looking for — the Yogensho. Moe eventually escapes and Old Man Lobber finally gets to read the book. Moe is excited regarding the legends of the Yogensho, though it seems that he spoke too soon as the demonic eel appears to blow Starfy, Moe and Old Man Lobber away.

Starfy and Moe are taken away to the boss room with Doppel. The demonic eel brings Doppel to his full power and vanishes. After Starfy defeats Doppel, the demonic eel leaves behind the jar that Starfy dropped from Pufftop Palace and the Yogensho. Starfy, Moe and Old Man Lobber advance to the [[Sea of Sky]] that leads to Pufftop and Old Man Lobber begins to read the Yogensho. The Yogensho reveals that the demonic eel's name is [[Ogura]]. It prophesied correctly that a large storm never seen before would hit the sea and the demon Ogura would go on a rampage until a hero appears to hunt down Ogura's minions one after the other.

Ogura leaves three bosses for Starfy to battle before he advances to Pufftop. Starfy, Moe and Old Man Lobber's main objective now is to defeat Ogura and bring peace back to Pufftop.

These (except for the aforementioned track) become available in an option called the [[Sea Jams]], that can be unlocked by returning [[Wotsaruto]]'s [[Tone of Ocean (instrument)|Tone of Ocean instrument]] for the second time, after beating [[Ogura]] once.

==[[Toys|Picture Book]]==
{{main|Densetsu no Starfy/Picture Book}}
''Densetsu no Starfy'' is the first game to feature the [[Toys|Picture Book]], known in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'' as the Trading Cards and [[Toys]] in the North American and Australian versions of ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''. The Picture Book is listing of characters and enemies by [[Stage]], though ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'' and ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'' lists enemies found by [[Vehicles List|Vehicles]] in a separate section, while ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'' and ''The Legendary Starfy'' lists friends in their own section instead of grouping them with the enemies.

Each character and enemy has their own comment that is read by [[Moe]] and an animated version of their sprite is shown. The [[Nintendo Official Guidebook]]s use different descriptions, however.

Some characters [[Rare Enemies|and enemies]] are rare and can only be encountered after beating the game for the first time. The challenge of completing the Picture Book was advertised as a selling point of ''Densetsu no Starfy'' prior to release on the [[Nintendo World#Nintendo Space World 2001|Nintendo Space World 2001]] [[List of official The Legendary Starfy series websites#Nintendo Space World 2001|official mini-site]].

When the Picture Book is complete, the game shows a "Perfect!" (Japanese: パーフェクト！) screen with Starfy and Moe jumping up and down, [[Old Man Lobber]], and fish coming out of the Picture Book every time the player chooses to load it. This screen is not included in the other games.

==Trivia==
*This is the only [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|Starfy]] game where Starfy starts with [[Glide]] and does not have to learn it to use it.
*This game, along with ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', are the only games that don't have [[Moe's House]] as a feature. Instead, ''Densetsu no Starfy'' features the [[List]] that has the [[Toys|Picture Book]], [[Treasure Items]], [[Minigames]] and [[Photograph]] options, as well as an [[Extra!]] option that is a menu where the [[Sea Jams]], Staff Rolls and [[Ending]]s are accessible.
*This game, along with ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', have the least amount of stages in the Starfy series with nine stages.
*This is the only Starfy game that doesn't have [[Air Jump]], [[Duck]], [[Duck & Slide]], and [[Shooting Star]].
*[[Fukafuka]] is the only character Starfy cannot meet until completion of the game.
*This is the only Starfy game where Starfy doesn't keep his own Pearls but instead stores them in [[Moe]].
**This is also the only Starfy game without a shop.
*This is the only Starfy game where when comboing enemies there is no interlude between [[Starfy]] gaining one [[Pearl]]s and Starfy gaining one big Pearl. In the other Starfy games, Starfy or Starly would gain two pearls right away after comboing for the second Pearl.
*In this game Starfy's sprite looks a little different than in the other Starfy games of the ''Game Boy Advance'', and it is the only Starfy game where the [[dizziness]] sound effect and the low health sound effect are completely different than in the other Starfy games, and likely leftovers from [[Densetsu no Stafy (GBC)]].
*This is the only Starfy game to not have costumes.
*This game, along with ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'', are the only ones to not have upgrades for the transformations.
*There is a small glitch in this game, similar to one in ''The Legendary Starfy'' where Starfy can attack straight through some one hit enemies without the rebound pushback effect that he gets for attacking enemies.
*The Duck & Slide ability is replaced with a function that allows Starfy to instantly stop running.
*This is the only game where Starfy doesn't need the [[Ultra Star Spin]] to beat the game.
*This is the only game where Starfy doesn't need any of the [[:category:transformations|transformations]] to beat the game the first time.
*It is the only Starfy game in the series that was [[Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)|originally made]] for the ''[[nwiki:Game Boy|Game Boy]]'' and later the ''[[nwiki:Game Boy Color|Game Boy Color]]'' rather than the ''Game Boy Advance''.
*There is a [[demo glitch|glitch]] in this game that allows Starfy to take control of the attract mode and skip to any stage from the second stage, though it is impossible to complete the [[Toys|Picture Book]] this way.
*As of September 6, 2017 onward, a ''Densetsu no Starfy'' [[Fan translations of The Legendary Starfy series|fan translation]] is being worked on.
*During development, both the Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color prototypes' names were marked （仮称, ''tentative''）, which may suggest the name was not fully decided, but the game was released as Densetsu no Starfy anyway.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190329141549/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/sw2000/itiran/nin.html Archived Nintendo Space World 2000 listing]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160917205340/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/sw2001/softlist/list_nin.html Archived Nintendo Space World 2001 listing]</ref>

==Prototypes==
{{main|Densetsu no Starfy/Regional differences}}
''Note: This section contains sensitive information and profanity. Viewer discretion is advised.''

A Chinese version of this game was planned for [[wikipedia:iQue|iQue]] series as 斯塔非的传说 (pronounced "Sitafei De Chuanshuo") (Chinese Nintendo console brand), but never released. It is officially referred to as "The Legend of Stafy" in staff credits. The ROM image of a release candidate of this localization along with ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'' was leaked to the public in March 2019.<ref>Zhihu (not linked for legal reasons)</ref><ref>Hidden Palace (not linked for legal reasons)</ref>

[[File:Starfy1 ZH title.png]]

An additional localization prototype also exists with its own font.<ref>[https://twitter.com/LuigiBlood/status/1273395758201475072/photo/2 Screenshots from an anonymous 4ch user, mirrored on Twitter by LuigiBlood]</ref> It appears to have been intended for an official English release, based on the account of an anonymous owner of a prototype, but cancelled. In the prototype version, [[Moe]] is known as "Kyoro" (shortened from his Japanese name Kyorosuke), and one of the conversations with him features profanity (an easy mistake to mistake from translation of derogatory Japanese words without regard to connotations, audience and impact).

The prototype came with 128M flash memory in a regular colored Game Pak but resembles a special type of cartridge such as a rumble or tilt cart. It is also marked with a red sticker with the writing [[Tose]] 四条分室 (Shijo Branch Office) No 062 (possibly Shijo Street in Kyoto; the city where Tose operates). The prototype was found on an eBay listing from a seller of various prototypes, according to an October 2018 archived 4ch thread.<ref>[https://warosu.org/vr/thread/5078072 Archived 4ch thread]</ref>

'''Starfy''' (known in Japan as '''Sutafī''', officially romanized as '''Stafy''', also appearing as '''Stafi''' on the [http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/cpyrghts/dsplySrch.do?lang=eng Canadian Copyrights Database]) is the main protagonist of the [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. He is the prince of the [[Pufftop|Pufftop Kingdom]], along with his best friend, [[Moe]] the clam, and his younger sister, [[Starly]]. They all live in the [[Pufftop|Pufftop Palace]] but Moe also has a house of his own.

Only Starfy can perform the [[Air Jump]], the [[Powerful Spin]] (which involves spinning with Moe, though it can be used when Moe isn't present, suggesting that the ability doesn't necessarily involve the real Moe), the [[Star Spin#Mighty Star Spin|Mighty Star Spin]] and the [[Star Spin#Ultra Star Spin|Ultra Star Spin]].

According to the lyrics of all versions of the series [[Title Song (music)|Title Song]] except for [[Perfume]]'s, he is 36 cm tall and 7 years old. He is voiced by [[Satomi Kōrogi]] in Japanese commercials and ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''. His hobbies include collecting [[sunglasses]] and making pretend transformations.

==Species==
According to [[Hitoshi Yamagami]] of [[Nintendo]], Starfy is a "kind of mysterious creature that is somewhere between a starfish and a real celestial star"<ref>[[Nintendo Power]], Volume 244 (August 2009), [http://i2.minus.com/jJM8mSopmpPyk.jpg pp. 74]</ref>, even though he is called a starfish in ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''.

In Starfy's Japanese ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' [[Starfy#Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS|trophy description]], he is referred to as a creature like a star who looks like a starfish. In {{alttext|an official translation|EU English version from England}}, of the trophy description, it says that nobody knows what species Starfy really is.

==Personality==
Starfy is a nice and friendly character who likes to solve other people's problems. Starfy smiles almost all of the time, and this may portray him as a content and relaxed person. Although Starfy shows negative emotions such as sadness and fear, these are shown often only for a short time. His best friend Moe gave him emotional support to stop crying in ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'' after his mother [[Mama Star]] was kidnapped by Ogura, and Moe tried to raise Starfy's spirits in his room when it was revealed that [[Mattel]]; Starfy's crush was engaged to [[Coral]]. In ''The Legendary Starfy'', Starfy may come over as childish in the way that he makes high pitched squeals when he is happy.

Starfy is apparently very forgetful in the way that he forgets most of his [[abilities]] for each game and has to relearn them. Starfy is also very lazy, even though according to his ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' [[smashwiki:trophy|trophy]] he tries his hardest when he sets his mind to something. In ''The Legendary Starfy'', according to a [[Pufftop Guard]], he gets up to eat a late breakfast, takes a nap before he goes out to play, takes a second nap, eats lunch and then has another nap. Starfy likes to use the [[Story]] option to look back at his adventures.

According to Starly's trophy from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Starfy is sometimes spineless, and this may be supported by how Starfy ran around freaked out and hid inside of Moe's shell when debris started to fall during the opening of ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'', after Ogura had escaped from the jar with the help of the [[Puchi Ogura]]. Starfy occasionally shows to be brave though, through being persistent in his efforts and through fighting [[boss]]es.

In the ''[[Densetsu no Starfy R]]'' manga, a good example of how Starfy can come across brave is in the final chapter, "[[DSR13|For Those Whom I Must Protect......]]" where Starfy went into the sky to puncture a hole in a meteor and pushed it off course, but it is possible that Starfy's desire to help Mattel by saving the [[Amiy Kingdom]] influenced Starfy.

Though Starfy likes adventure, he acted against starting an adventure in ''Densetsu no Starfy 3''. In the beginning of ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'', Starly was the first one to take action and do something about the problem surrounding how the jar was destroyed and the fact that Ogura's personage ([[Evil]]) was around. She forced Starfy and Moe into their third adventure by pushing them into the ocean while they resisted.

In ''The Legendary Starfy'', Starfy was eager to help [[Bunston]] from the start after he crashed through Starfy's room and ran away. Starfy went off the edge of Pufftop even though Moe grabbed Starfy and tried to stop him. In a 2009 teleconference between [[Nintendo]]/[[TOSE]] and [http://www.nintendolife.com/ Nintendo Life], [[Kazuki Yoshihara]] states that Starfy has grown to be "less of a crybaby" than in the first game, and states that he's "a bit more grown up in the way that he helps out the other characters in the game". <ref>[http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2009/05/interviews_nintendotose_the_legendary_starfy Interviews Nintendo TOSE - The Legendary Starfy - DS News @ Nintendo Life]</ref>. In an unofficial manga based on ''The Legendary Starfy'' called [[Defeat the Enemy!]] though, Starfy was too scared to fight a group of fish resembling [[Fwip]]s, and Starly had to step and spin him around so he could defeat them.

Starfy is described in the lyrics of the series' [[Title Song (music)|Title Song]] and his ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' trophy as being a "little spacey and clumsy", and this can be supported by the fact that in the beginning of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' Starfy walked around Pufftop Palace and carelessly knocked over the [[jar]], apparently being unaware of his surroundings. Additionally, after Starfy successfully defeated [[Ogura]], trapped him back inside the jar and returned to Pufftop, he knocked over forty five [[treasure|treasure chests]] while wandering around, so this caused Moe to chase Starfy and this lead to Starfy knocking over the jar again. Starfy proved to be persistent however by collecting all forty five [[Treasure Items]], trapping Ogura in the jar again, and temporarily bringing peace back to Pufftop.

Starfy has a liking for [[treasure]], but not as much as [[Moe]] or [[Wario]]. Starfy's hobbies include collecting [[sunglasses]], and according to [[℃-ute]]'s version of the series' Title Song, making pretend transformations (either referring to wearing [[Stuff]]; as the video shows Starfy wearing Stuff after this line, or the transformations/vehicles Starfy uses in the game. Starfy's other hobby could also be both).

Starfy may come across as eccentric in some cases. In [[DSR01|chapter one of the ''Densetsu no Starfy R'' manga]] ("Starfy's Love Attack"), Starfy wore spiral glasses, a "hissho" [[wikipedia:hachimaki|hachimaki]] headband and a thick tattered suit in Pufftop Palace after he developed a crush on Mattel. In [[DSR02|chapter two]] ("Super Difficult! Love of a Young Girl") and [[DSR05|chapter five]] ("Holy Place of Otaku, Viva! Akiba!!"), Starfy wore a peculiar suit with spiral glasses, a 'head handkerchief', a striped jacket and a shirt with a character on it. In chapter five, Starfy thought that the Fii remotes in a shop were used for knitting rather than hitting a ball on the screen with rackets and knitted a cloth.

Starfy shows respect for his younger sister Starly as well as Moe. In ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'', in area 2 of [[Misty Town]] Starfy [[Duck & Slide|duck and slided]] into some falling knives and chairs so that he would take the 'attack' instead of Starly. Starfy was on the receiving end of [[wikipedia:physical humor|physical humor]] in this case, as after Starly blew up the chairs and knives with a [[bomb]] it turned out that he was fast asleep the whole time.

According to [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/ Smash Bros. DOJO!!], the fact that Starfy came to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is "part of his charm"<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/assist/assist13.html Smash Bros. DOJO!! - Stafy]</ref>, but it is not clear exactly what the writer means.

Starfy is rarely shown to be angry or aggressive in the games, though one instance of such is in ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'' before [[Arasoinomon]] reveals itself,when he got into an argument with Moe about his feelings for ''[[Mattel]]''. He was asking Starfy if he liked her and Starfy misunderstood, and thought Moe liked her as well. The misunderstanding caused Moe to take offence and run off. Starfy may be angry or aggressive in other media including [[manga]] and commercials, but not always and he has good intentions at heart.

In [[DSM04|chapter 4 of the ''Densetsu no Starfy'' Yumiko Sudō manga]] ("I Hate Old Man Lobber Fii!"), Starfy was mad at [[Old Man Lobber]] for giving him a coconut (it is assumable that he did not like it), and tipped up his table, but after Starfy and Old Man Lobber became separated after being swallowed by [[The Whale|the whale]], Starfy cried when he saw the coconut with teeth marks on it, thinking of all the good things Old Man Lobber had done for him.

In [[DSR07|chapter 7 of the ''Densetsu no Starfy R'' manga]] ("Pufftop Kingdom, Game King Playoff"), Starfy and Starly both pulled an angry face near the end of the story when debating on what the best games console is but Moe came to calm them down and let them agree that both the [[Nintendo DS|FS]] and [[Wii|Tenkaido Fii]] are equally good.

[http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=3829 In a commercial] for ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'', Starfy was shown to be angry when Mattel called out for help, raising his arms to show muscles and pulling an angry face with his teeth together on the way to the Amiy Kingdom. In [http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=3839 another commercial], after [[Degil]] raised the [[Mon Amour Stone]], this made Starfy angry, having him raise his arms to show muscles and be surrounded by a red spiky glow.

== Biography ==

===Before Densetsu no Starfy===
Starfy was born in the Pufftop Kingdom to Papa and Mama Star and sometime after he was born his sister Starly was born, for 7 years Starfy and the people of Pufftop lived in peace but when Starfy was 7, his first great adventure would begin.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''===
Starfy goes on his first adventure during the events of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''. Starfy was moving things around his home, until he dropped a [[jar]] that sealed [[Ogura]], which fell into the ocean. After the jar fell, thunderstorms and tornadoes blew Starfy into the ocean. Many new friends, such as [[Moe]] and [[Old Man Lobber]], helped Starfy to get back to [[Pufftop Kingdom]] and told him about Ogura, and Starfy and his friends fought and sealed Ogura back into the jar.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''===
Starfy starts out on yet his second adventure, as he falls from Pufftop once again, along with his best friend, [[Moe]]. Also, his mom, [[Mama Star]] gets kidnapped by Ogura.

{{spoiler}}
Eventually Starfy managed to chase Ogura to [[Ogura Castle]], and in spite of Ogura’s attempts to get rid of him, by sending [[Trappa]]s to kick Starfy back to the entrance, trapping Moe in a cage with a fake Ruby, and trying to kill Starfy and Moe with poison gas, Starfy finally managed to face off against Ogura again. The first time Starfy and Ogura have their rematch though, Ogura is too strong and Starfy loses. Ogura then proceeds to beat up Starfy while he is down. Moe rished in to protect Starfy but Ogura decides to end things with a final blow. Before Ogura can kill Starfy and moe though, Old Man Lobber holds Ogura back and causes Ogura to use up some of his power to fight off Old Man Lobber weakening Ogura. Ogura retreats and Starfy having recovered from his wounds follows Ogura. The two have another battle with the fate of Mama Star at stake. If Starfy wins, Ogura has to go back into the jar and Starfy rescues his mother, but if Ogura wins, Starfy will die and Mama Star will forever be Ogura’s prisoner. Starfy wins, imprisons Ogura again and he is reunited with his mother Mama Star.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''===
Yet again, Starfy falls to a exciting adventure, this time along with [[Moe]] and his sister, [[Starly]], who Moe calls a "pink powder keg".

{{spoiler}}
In [[Misty Town]]’s [[Area]] 2, Starly and Moe are oblivious that knives and chairs are aiming right for them, Starfy however notices and he pushes them out of the way only for him to get trapped by the cutlery and furniture himself. Starly rescues Starfy by blowing up the objects with a bomb. Later in Area 3 when Starfy, Starly and Moe catch up with Mad Piero, he gives a treasure chest to Starfy but it is really a trap and it imprisons Starfy. Mad Piero then takes the treasure chest and hides in Area 4, essentially kidnapping Starfy. Starly has to rescue him again by attacking the treasure chest enemy that has Starfy in it.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''===
The [[Amiy Kingdom]] is in trouble and Starfy and friends have to help the citizens of Amiy Kingdom.

===''The Legendary Starfy''===
Starfy meets and helps a mysterious [[Bunston|bunny rabbit-like creature]] during the events of ''The Legendary Starfy''. One day, Starfy was having a peaceful nap, then a strange bunny rabbit crashed through the roof and landed on Starfy. Starfy stared and tried to make the unexpected visitor talk, until [[The Terrible Trio|three shadowy goons]] crashed through the walls and tried to kidnap the bunny. Starfy became angry and used his [[Star Spin]] move on the goons, which made them run away. [[Moe]] entered Starfy's room and told him that the strange bunny figure jumped into the ocean, so Starfy and Moe went after him.

Once Starfy and Moe entered the ocean, they found the bunny, who was called Bunston. He had amnesia and the only way to gain his memory back was by finding [[Shard|shards]]. Starfy, Moe, and Bunston (sometimes Starly too) had to travel to [[Gluglug Lagoon]] and many other places to find every shards. Along the way, the shadowy goons, which was revealed to be a team of [[Snips]], [[Ronk]], and [[Papes]], tried to kidnap Bunston and stop Starfy and Moe from getting all of the shards.

Bunston's memory returned and remembered that he was a prince and his planet [[Planet Bunnera|Bunnera]] was in danger by the evil [[Mashtooth]], so he used the shards to fix his rocket ship and he, Starfy, and Moe traveled to Bunnera. When Starfy, Bunston, and Moe entered the Bunnera Castle, Starfy dueled with Mashtooth and won, until Mashtooth absorbed Bunston's power and transformed into [[Mashtooth#Second Form - Mega Mashtooth|Mega Mashtooth]]. Starfy and Moe got beaten up by Mega Mashtooth until the Terrible Trio came and helped Starfy. Many of Starfy's friends cheered Starfy on, which gave him the strength to face Mega Mashtooth. Starfy pushed the Bunnera [[The Moon|moon]] at Mega Mashtooth, which defeated him, gave the Bunnerans their powers back, and made Bunnera back in peace.

[[Fork]] is established as the self-proclaimed rival to Starfy in swimming; and they compete in swimming contests. However, Moe is protective of Starfy and doesn't want to accept the sentiment of Fork being his rival, with Fork and [[Fork's brother|his brother]] having bullied and attacked Moe since ''Densetsu no Starfy'', and Fork still suffering from narcissism.

====[[The Moe Show]] Interview====

==Starfy's name==
Before the announcement of ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'' for North America, there was no official localization for Starfy's name. When romanized, "スタフィー" can be represented as Sutafī (Sutafii), but an official romanization of his name as displayed in the URLs of the official [[List of official The Legendary Starfy series websites#Densetsu no Starfy / Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)|Nintendo Space World webpages]], the [[Staff Credits|''Densetsu no Starfy'' Staff Credits]], the ROM headers of the games, a [[mariowiki:Yoshi Theater (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Yoshi Theater]] poster in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', three of the [[stuff]] [[Densetsu no Starfy 2/Stuff|in ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'']] ("Stafy" is written on the following items: "Uniform", "Wrestler Clothes" and "Baseball Cap") and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is "Stafy". Likewise, Starfy's younger sister [[Starly]] is referred to in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as "Stapy".

Regardless of the official romanization, Starfy was referred to as other names, including "Sutafi", "Stafi"<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/videos/densetsu-no-stafi-4-gameplay-movie-3/2300-6147853/ Densetsu no Stafi 4 Gameplay Movie 3 - GameSpot]</ref> (also appearing like this on the Canadian Copyrights Database) and "Starfi"<ref>[http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/starfi-too-cute-for-western-consumption.60936017/ Starfi - Too cute for Western consumption - IGN boards]</ref> and sometimes still is after the localization of his name to "Starfy".

On February 26, 2009, ''Densetsu no Starfy: Taiketsu Daiiru Kaizokudan'' was announced to be released overseas on June 8, 2009, via a list of upcoming video games on the [http://press.nintendo.com/loginSplash.jsp Nintendo's Online Press Room] website as ''The Legendary Starfy''. <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090303215207/http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=17588 NINTENDO'S VIDEO GAME LINEUP DEMONSTRATES GAMING DIVERSITY - Archived version from March 3rd, 2009 on Wayback Machine]</ref> This new title as well as a section on the page talking about the gameplay confirmed Stafy's North American name as Starfy.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]==
Starfy appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where his primary appearance is as an [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]]. Starfy reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' as an Assist Trophy in both versions.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
[[File:Starfy SSBB.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Starfy as an Assist Trophy on the [[smashwiki:Final Destination|Final Destination]] stage]]
Starfy ("Stafy")'s primary appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is as an [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]]. An Assist Trophy is item that allows players to have another character help them in battle.

Starfy is known as one of the weakest Assist Trophies. Playable characters can attack and push him off the stage, unlike other Assist Trophies. Starfy's only method of attacking 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.

Additionally, both Starfy and his younger sister [[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 unlocked randomly.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''===
[[File:Starfy SSB 3DS.png|thumb|right|250px|Starfy Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''.]]
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.

Additionally, Starfy appears as a profile icon among other Assist Trophies.

|Starfy is the absentminded prince of the [[Pufftop Kingdom]], and the hero of [[The Legendary Starfy]]. Is he a star? A starfish?

====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.

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.

==Other Appearences==

==Trivia==
*Satomi Kōrogi, the voice actress for Starfy is also known across [[Nintendo]] for providing the voices of several [[bulbapedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]] and characters in the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon anime|''Pokémon'' anime]] and [[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] including [[bulbapedia:Togepi (Pokémon)|Togepi]], [[bulbapedia:Pichu (Pokémon)|Pichu]] and [[bulbapedia:Mew (Pokémon)|Mew]].
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the trophy of Starfy ("Stafy")'s sister Starly ("Stapy") is indexed under the "Fighter Related" category even though Starfy is not a playable character in this game. Furthermore, no ''[[nwiki:Custom Robo (series)|Custom Robo]]'' or ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing]]'' trophies appear in the "Fighter Related" category even though Stafy, Ray MK III and [[nookipedia:Mr. Resetti|Mr. Resetti]] all appear as [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]].
**This has lead to speculation that Starfy may have once been planned as a playable character in the development of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
*Starfy's name in [[wikipedia:South Korea|South Korea]] is '스타피' (revised romanization: Seautapi).
*In ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', [[Herbert]] refers to Starfy as a "Starfy look-alike" when Starfy first meets him.
*Similar to his sister [[Starly]], there is [https://tickikids.com/zht-hk/kornhill-plaza/kornhill-plaza-x-raccoon-factory-starfy-adventure-korean-starfish-starfy-brings-a-land-of-mystery-and-magic/ a character from a different franchise] called Starfy, although not a Nintendo one.

==History==
==Story==
{{spoiler}}
The story of ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'' takes place sometime after the events of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''.

Starfy was walking around [[Pufftop|Pufftop Palace]], when suddenly he tripped, the clouds began to darken and debris began to fall from the sky; shocking everyone in the area. A [[Pufftop Guard]] was panicking and asked king [[Papa Star]] what was happening. The Pufftop Guard thought this was nonsense and wondered if Ogura had escaped again. Papa Star replied that it was nonsense and explained that Ogura was in no doubt sealed in the [[jar]]. They began to wonder why this was happening.

The scene changes to show an [[Evil|unknown being]] sitting on a chair. He wondered if Ogura had conquered [[Pufftop]] yet. On realizing he hadn't, the unknown being struck a lightning bolt on the jar, destroying it completely and releasing Ogura. Ogura floats over to Starfy and others, telling them that the jar had been smashed into small pieces. Ogura explains that he won't be defeated as long as he has a personage by his side and attacks [[Moe]] and Starfy, leaving them [[dizzy]]. Ogura then flies far away from Pufftop, laughing.

Starfy, Moe, Papa Star stick together and discuss the situation. Moe wonders what Ogura meant by the personage. Papa Star says as the problem stands they cannot afford to leave it alone. He tells Moe and Starfy that they must pursue Ogura and defeat him somehow. Moe becomes angry and calls Papa Star an idiot. He notes that the jar has already been smashed into pieces, and believes on all accounts their adventure isn't going to be beneficial. Papa Star becomes angry with Moe and asks "what are you talking about?", arguing that the peace of Pufftop is at stake.

Later, "[[Starly|a girl]]" appears. She jumps around Pufftop Palace and bounces off Moe. She asks why Starfy and others are "wasting time", which angers Moe. The name of the girl is called [[Starly]]. Starly pushes both Starfy and Moe off of the edge of Pufftop towards the ocean while they resist. Starly successfully pushes them off of the edge and then jumps off with them. As in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' and ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'', this time accompanied with both Starly and Moe, Starfy arrives at [[Lobber's Cave]].

Starfy, Starly and Moe's quest is to bring peace back to Pufftop, as they find out about the unknown being and pursue Ogura. On the way, Starfy, Starly and Moe travel through ten stages, fight bosses and help solve other character's problems. It is revealed early in the game in a flashback that Ogura was actually working for Evil a long time ago, since Ogura was young. He ordered Ogura to conquer Pufftop and defeat the legendary Starfy. [[Yugudorajii]] tells [[Starly]] that Ogura fled towards [[Coral Coast]] muttering something. In the flashback it is revealed that he was muttering "not good, not good" and was rushing to find Evil.

==History==

==Story==
''Densetsu no Starfy 2'' takes place sometime after the events of its predecessor, ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''. Times in the kingdom of [[Pufftop]] were peaceful once again after Ogura was trapped inside the [[jar]], but not until too long. Ogura was thinking how to escape from the jar for a long time. The jar was contained in a small room. One day, Starfy was playing with [[Moe]] while one of the [[Pufftop Guard]]s was sleeping.

Inside of the jar, Ogura moaned about Starfy and his parents. Later, Ogura thought about Starfy's family and had an idea. Ogura threw two black orbs out from his nose towards the top of the jar. They fell down and began to multiply and they soon developed into ten children which Ogura named the "[[Puchi Ogura]]". Ogura said it would be easy for them to escape from the jar as they are small. He then asked the ten Puchi Ogura to cause a storm, so they agreed and escaped from the jar and caused another storm to hit Pufftop. The storm frightened Starfy, Moe, [[Papa Star]], [[Mama Star]] and the Pufftop Guards as debris fell from the sky. Starfy then hid in Moe's clam for safety. The storm caused the jar to topple over and release Ogura and the Puchi Ogura. Ogura floated over to the main room of the Pufftop Palace, happy to be out at last and kidnapped Mama Star as revenge for Starfy trapping him inside of the jar. This terrified Starfy who then jumped out of Moe's clam and ran after Ogura and Mama Star.

Ogura leads Starfy to the edge of Pufftop Palace and Ogura floats down towards the ocean. Starfy cries and runs off to rescue Mama Star. Moe clings on to Starfy, telling him that it would take much effort for him to return to Pufftop. Starfy resists, so Starfy and Moe both fall off the edge of Pufftop on to a beach. Moe moans at Starfy, who is tearful and Starfy begins to cry, which Moe finds annoying. Starfy eventually stops crying. Moe asks Starfy to follow him and reassures him that he can get help from [[Old Man Lobber]] when he is troubled.

Like in ''Densetsu no Starfy'', Starfy and Moe help solve the problems of various characters as the player advances through stages. Ogura now has his own castle, and Starfy must advance through eleven stages to get to it and confront Ogura. The first ten stages have a boss battle with each of the ten Puchi Ogura and the final stage has a boss battle with Ogura.

While Mama Star was kidnapped, she dropped several treasures, known as [[Stuff]] for Starfy to collect every level. Some of them were stolen by the Puchi Ogura and can be obtained by defeating them at the end of each stage.

==Stages==
*[[Lobber's Cave]]
*[[Sea of Beginning]]
*[[Turtle Turtle Land]]
*[[Slippery Ice Alpine]]

'''''The Legend of Starfy''''', romanised as '''''Densetsu no Stafy''''' (Japanese: 伝説のスタフィー, literally '''''Legendary Starfy''''' or '''''Legend of Starfy''''') is a Japan-only [[Game Boy Advance]] game released on September 6, 2002. "Stafy" is the official romanized name of Starfy in Japan; before the release of ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', most places referred to the character as Stafy.

''Densetsu no Starfy'' is the first game in [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]].

This game was later released in Japan for the [[Terminology#W|Wii U]] Virtual Console on July 29, 2015 for 702 yen (including tax)<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/software/vc/pcej/index.html 伝説のスタフィー｜Wii U｜Nintendo - Official Japanese Nintendo site (in Japanese)]</ref>, followed by it's first worldwide release in July 12th 2024<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/24197438/nintendo-switch-online-update-starfy-games-gba Nintendo Switch Online finally lets Nintendo’s adorable Starfy shine on the world’s stage Polygon],</ref> as part of the Game Boy Advance service on the [[nwiki:Nintendo_Switch_Online_Expansion_Pack|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]].
==History==
{{main|Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)}}
''See also: [[Nintendo World|Nintendo Space World]], [[Next Generation World Hobby Fair]], [[:Template:PRUNavbox|Prerelease information and unused content navigation box]]

This game began as a [[nwiki:Game Boy|Game Boy]] game. In November 1995, [[Nintendo]] producer [[Hitoshi Yamagami]]'s boss instructed him to create some kind of "floaty platformer". Hitoshi Yamagami would later collaborate with TOSE producer [[Yasuhiro Minamimoto]].<ref>[http://ds.nintendolife.com/news/2009/05/interviews_nintendotose_the_legendary_starfy Interviews: Nintendo/TOSE - The Legendary Starfy - DS News @ Nintendo Life (with insight about the development of Densetsu no Starfy)]</ref> It originally went under development as a balloon-lifting game, until being reworked as a game where the player has to control a bubble with a Nintendo character in it<ref>[[Nintendo Power]] [http://www.nintendopower.com/images/NP244_Starfy.jpg Volume 244, page 73]</ref> and later a floating character. Both a jellyfish and a starfish were initial considerations, and a starfish was eventually chosen for the game.

Development on this game continued through 1998 and as such, Nintendo encouraged TOSE to rework this game for the Game Boy Color. In 2000, the Game Boy Color version underwent a period of promotion, where details about the game began to surface on the official Japanese [[Nintendo]] website. The game was shown at [[Nintendo World|Nintendo Space World]] as [[Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)|''Densetsu no Starfy'' for the Game Boy Color]].

As the game was approaching its release for the Game Boy Color, it was again canceled and rebuilt for the Game Boy Advance which was only going to be released in 2001. Starfy was apparently going to be purely a starfish, until he was made to fall down from the sky, which supposedly invoked a community policy for TOSE to reply that Starfy is neither a star or a starfish when asked.

There are various differences between the Game Boy Color version and the final Game Boy Advance version still noticeable on Nintendo of Japan's page about the Nintendo Space World trial demo. For example, the official logo and some of the character artwork and names of characters were changed later in development, including [[Moe|Kyorosuke]] (Moe) who was originally known as "Kyororon". It should be noted however that the [[Nintendo World#Nintendo Space World 2001|Nintendo Space World 2001]] trial demo for the [[Game Boy Advance]] was promoted with the old logo used during the Game Boy Color period. There was also character artwork for the Game Boy Advance version from early in development, which although different (with the exception of [[Moe]]), were not final.

''Densetsu no Starfy'' was re-released in Japan for the Wii U Virtual Console on July 29, 2015 for 702 yen (including tax).
==Story==
{{spoiler}}
Surrounded by the vast sea there is a kingdom high above the clouds called [[Pufftop]]. Living there is Starfy, the prince of Pufftop. Starfy is often careless and clumsy in nature. Times were normally peaceful in Pufftop, until Starfy was carrying around valuable [[treasure]] and he accidentally dropped a [[jar]] into the ocean. Just then, the being inside the jar used his magical powers to create a terrible storm. Tornadoes then struck the Pufftop Palace. Starfy struggled to hang on, and eventually dropped into the ocean showing his [[Done For]] pose. Starfy fell straight into [[Lobber's Cave]], located on a small island.

A wise lobster, [[Old Man Lobber]] found Starfy in his cave and asked Starfy if he could hear him. After finding out that Starfy is OK, Old Man Lobber advises that Starfy should rest a while in his cave from the terrible storm. Old Man Lobber wonders what to do with Starfy, as he is too weak to return to Pufftop. Old Man Lobber mentions a friend of his, [[Herman]] and Starfy proceeds to find Herman.

Starfy finds Herman wearing an ordinary gray shell. He has lost his missing home; a conch shell called the [[Pretty Shell]] and Herman asks him to find it. After finding a [[Kettle]], Herman, believing it may have been washed further, gives Starfy a key leading to another part of the level, where Starfy finds a tusk shell - the [[Dentalium Shell]]. After finding the tusk shell, Herman - who finds the shell too small - thinks that it is behind the rocks. He then teaches Starfy how to use the [[Star Spin]] attack. Later, Starfy finds the colorful conch shell and returns it to Herman. Herman is very grateful for Starfy and leads Starfy to the next stage, [[Coral Reef]].

Herman asks Starfy to find his friend who is being chased by bad guys. One of the bad guys is seen swimming away, so Starfy follows him. Starfy advances to a room with two bad guys known as the [[Fork]] [[Fork's brother|brothers]]. When Starfy finds them to be picking on a yellow clam, he defeats them with his Star Spin. The yellow clam is revealed to be [[Moe]]. He reveals that "his dearest" [[Ruby]] was kidnapped by a bad guy called [[Konk]]. It was then Fork and his brother chased after him. Starfy and Moe become good friends, and Moe joins Starfy on his quest back to Pufftop, offering advice. Later, after destroying the Dentalium Shell and the Kettle that were blocking the water from flowing, Starfy finds and defeats Konk. Ruby returns and Moe is much happy to see her again. Starfy and Moe advance to [[Stranded Whale]].

Starfy and Moe decide to continue to help others on their way to Pufftop. Later in the quest, after Starfy and Moe clear the stage [[Sea of Ice]], Starfy finds an unknown demonic eel who came from the jar that Starfy knocked down before he fell into Lobber's Cave. He plans to submerge Starfy and Moe in the Deep Sea, and believes that the "strange clam" is unimportant and that Starfy is an annoyance.

Later on their adventure, Starfy advances to the [[Undersea Ruins]]. An ammonite called [[Horun]] then tries to attack Starfy and Moe. It is revealed that Horun was attacked by a huge creature resembling Starfy created by the demonic eel called [[Doppel]]. Horun tried to confront Doppel, but was left injured. Once Horun realizes who Starfy really is, he helps him and Moe find Pufftop.

Later, Starfy meets Old Man Lobber again, who asks Starfy if he can locate a legendary book called the [[Yogensho]] for him, which according to legend is said to be found in the temple. The two times that Starfy attempts to obtain the book, it disappears and he is blown away by the demonic eel. Old Man Lobber asks Starfy if he found the Yogensho, to which Starfy explains what happened. When Old Man Lobber says that Moe has gone missing, the demonic eel appears again and blows both Starfy and Old Man Lobber away.

When Starfy reunites with Old Man Lobber, he asks if Starfy arrived safely and if he can look for Moe. Moe has been kidnapped by a sea otter known as [[Rarako]]. When Starfy finds Rarako, Rarako thanks him for his 'food' and gives Starfy what he was looking for — the Yogensho. Moe eventually escapes and Old Man Lobber finally gets to read the book. Moe is excited regarding the legends of the Yogensho, though it seems that he spoke too soon as the demonic eel appears to blow Starfy, Moe and Old Man Lobber away.

Starfy and Moe are taken away to the boss room with Doppel. The demonic eel brings Doppel to his full power and vanishes. After Starfy defeats Doppel, the demonic eel leaves behind the jar that Starfy dropped from Pufftop Palace and the Yogensho. Starfy, Moe and Old Man Lobber advance to the [[Sea of Sky]] that leads to Pufftop and Old Man Lobber begins to read the Yogensho. The Yogensho reveals that the demonic eel's name is [[Ogura]]. It prophesied correctly that a large storm never seen before would hit the sea and the demon Ogura would go on a rampage until a hero appears to hunt down Ogura's minions one after the other.

Ogura leaves three bosses for Starfy to battle before he advances to Pufftop. Starfy, Moe and Old Man Lobber's main objective now is to defeat Ogura and bring peace back to Pufftop.

*This is the only Starfy game where when comboing enemies there is no interlude between [[Starfy]] gaining one [[Pearl]]s and Starfy gaining one big Pearl. In the other Starfy games, Starfy or Starly would gain two pearls right away after comboing for the second Pearl.
*In this game Starfy's sprite looks a little different than in the other Starfy games of the ''Game Boy Advance'', and it is the only Starfy game where the [[dizziness]] sound effect and the low health sound effect are completely different than in the other Starfy games, and likely leftovers from [[Densetsu no Stafy (GBC)]].
*This is the only Starfy game to not have costumes.
*This game, along with ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'', are the only ones to not have upgrades for the transformations.
*There is a small glitch in this game, similar to one in ''The Legendary Starfy'' where Starfy can attack straight through some one hit enemies without the rebound pushback effect that he gets for attacking enemies.
*The Duck & Slide ability is replaced with a function that allows Starfy to instantly stop running.
*This is the only game where Starfy doesn't need the [[Ultra Star Spin]] to beat the game.
*This is the only game where Starfy doesn't need any of the [[:category:transformations|transformations]] to beat the game the first time.
*It is the only Starfy game in the series that was [[Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)|originally made]] for the ''[[nwiki:Game Boy|Game Boy]]'' and later the ''[[nwiki:Game Boy Color|Game Boy Color]]'' rather than the ''Game Boy Advance''.
*There is a [[demo glitch|glitch]] in this game that allows Starfy to take control of the attract mode and skip to any stage from the second stage, though it is impossible to complete the [[Toys|Picture Book]] this way.
*As of September 6, 2017 onward, a ''Densetsu no Starfy'' [[Fan translations of The Legendary Starfy series|fan translation]] is being worked on.
*During development, both the Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color prototypes' names were marked （仮称, ''tentative''）, which may suggest the name was not fully decided, but the game was released as Densetsu no Starfy anyway.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190329141549/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/sw2000/itiran/nin.html Archived Nintendo Space World 2000 listing]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160917205340/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/sw2001/softlist/list_nin.html Archived Nintendo Space World 2001 listing]</ref>

==Prototypes==
{{main|Densetsu no Starfy/Regional differences}}
''Note: This section contains sensitive information and profanity. Viewer discretion is advised.''

A Chinese version of this game was planned for [[wikipedia:iQue|iQue]] series as 斯塔非的传说 (pronounced "Sitafei De Chuanshuo") (Chinese Nintendo console brand), but never released. It is officially referred to as "The Legend of Stafy" in staff credits. The ROM image of a release candidate of this localization along with ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'' was leaked to the public in March 2019.<ref>Zhihu (not linked for legal reasons)</ref><ref>Hidden Palace (not linked for legal reasons)</ref>

[[File:Starfy1 ZH title.png]]

An additional localization prototype also exists with its own font.<ref>[https://twitter.com/LuigiBlood/status/1273395758201475072/photo/2 Screenshots from an anonymous 4ch user, mirrored on Twitter by LuigiBlood]</ref> It appears to have been intended for an official English release, based on the account of an anonymous owner of a prototype, but cancelled. In the prototype version, [[Moe]] is known as "Kyoro" (shortened from his Japanese name Kyorosuke), and one of the conversations with him features profanity (an easy mistake to mistake from translation of derogatory Japanese words without regard to connotations, audience and impact).

The prototype came with 128M flash memory in a regular colored Game Pak but resembles a special type of cartridge such as a rumble or tilt cart. It is also marked with a red sticker with the writing [[Tose]] 四条分室 (Shijo Branch Office) No 062 (possibly Shijo Street in Kyoto; the city where Tose operates). The prototype was found on an eBay listing from a seller of various prototypes, according to an October 2018 archived 4ch thread.<ref>[https://warosu.org/vr/thread/5078072 Archived 4ch thread]</ref>

==History==
==Story==
{{spoiler}}
The story of ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'' takes place sometime after the events of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''.

Starfy was walking around [[Pufftop|Pufftop Palace]], when suddenly he tripped, the clouds began to darken and debris began to fall from the sky; shocking everyone in the area. A [[Pufftop Guard]] was panicking and asked king [[Papa Star]] what was happening. The Pufftop Guard thought this was nonsense and wondered if Ogura had escaped again. Papa Star replied that it was nonsense and explained that Ogura was in no doubt sealed in the [[jar]]. They began to wonder why this was happening.

The scene changes to show an [[Evil|unknown being]] sitting on a chair. He wondered if Ogura had conquered [[Pufftop]] yet. On realizing he hadn't, the unknown being struck a lightning bolt on the jar, destroying it completely and releasing Ogura. Ogura floats over to Starfy and others, telling them that the jar had been smashed into small pieces. Ogura explains that he won't be defeated as long as he has a personage by his side and attacks [[Moe]] and Starfy, leaving them [[dizzy]]. Ogura then flies far away from Pufftop, laughing.

Starfy, Moe, Papa Star stick together and discuss the situation. Moe wonders what Ogura meant by the personage. Papa Star says as the problem stands they cannot afford to leave it alone. He tells Moe and Starfy that they must pursue Ogura and defeat him somehow. Moe becomes angry and calls Papa Star an idiot. He notes that the jar has already been smashed into pieces, and believes on all accounts their adventure isn't going to be beneficial. Papa Star becomes angry with Moe and asks "what are you talking about?", arguing that the peace of Pufftop is at stake.

Later, "[[Starly|a girl]]" appears. She jumps around Pufftop Palace and bounces off Moe. She asks why Starfy and others are "wasting time", which angers Moe. The name of the girl is called [[Starly]]. Starly pushes both Starfy and Moe off of the edge of Pufftop towards the ocean while they resist. Starly successfully pushes them off of the edge and then jumps off with them. As in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' and ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'', this time accompanied with both Starly and Moe, Starfy arrives at [[Lobber's Cave]].

Starfy, Starly and Moe's quest is to bring peace back to Pufftop, as they find out about the unknown being and pursue Ogura. On the way, Starfy, Starly and Moe travel through ten stages, fight bosses and help solve other character's problems. It is revealed early in the game in a flashback that Ogura was actually working for Evil a long time ago, since Ogura was young. He ordered Ogura to conquer Pufftop and defeat the legendary Starfy. [[Yugudorajii]] tells [[Starly]] that Ogura fled towards [[Coral Coast]] muttering something. In the flashback it is revealed that he was muttering "not good, not good" and was rushing to find Evil.

==History==

==Story==
''Densetsu no Starfy 2'' takes place sometime after the events of its predecessor, ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''. Times in the kingdom of [[Pufftop]] were peaceful once again after Ogura was trapped inside the [[jar]], but not until too long. Ogura was thinking how to escape from the jar for a long time. The jar was contained in a small room. One day, Starfy was playing with [[Moe]] while one of the [[Pufftop Guard]]s was sleeping.

Inside of the jar, Ogura moaned about Starfy and his parents. Later, Ogura thought about Starfy's family and had an idea. Ogura threw two black orbs out from his nose towards the top of the jar. They fell down and began to multiply and they soon developed into ten children which Ogura named the "[[Puchi Ogura]]". Ogura said it would be easy for them to escape from the jar as they are small. He then asked the ten Puchi Ogura to cause a storm, so they agreed and escaped from the jar and caused another storm to hit Pufftop. The storm frightened Starfy, Moe, [[Papa Star]], [[Mama Star]] and the Pufftop Guards as debris fell from the sky. Starfy then hid in Moe's clam for safety. The storm caused the jar to topple over and release Ogura and the Puchi Ogura. Ogura floated over to the main room of the Pufftop Palace, happy to be out at last and kidnapped Mama Star as revenge for Starfy trapping him inside of the jar. This terrified Starfy who then jumped out of Moe's clam and ran after Ogura and Mama Star.

Ogura leads Starfy to the edge of Pufftop Palace and Ogura floats down towards the ocean. Starfy cries and runs off to rescue Mama Star. Moe clings on to Starfy, telling him that it would take much effort for him to return to Pufftop. Starfy resists, so Starfy and Moe both fall off the edge of Pufftop on to a beach. Moe moans at Starfy, who is tearful and Starfy begins to cry, which Moe finds annoying. Starfy eventually stops crying. Moe asks Starfy to follow him and reassures him that he can get help from [[Old Man Lobber]] when he is troubled.

Like in ''Densetsu no Starfy'', Starfy and Moe help solve the problems of various characters as the player advances through stages. Ogura now has his own castle, and Starfy must advance through eleven stages to get to it and confront Ogura. The first ten stages have a boss battle with each of the ten Puchi Ogura and the final stage has a boss battle with Ogura.

While Mama Star was kidnapped, she dropped several treasures, known as [[Stuff]] for Starfy to collect every level. Some of them were stolen by the Puchi Ogura and can be obtained by defeating them at the end of each stage.

Hitoshi Yamagami would later collaborate with TOSE producer [[Yasuhiro Minamimoto]].<ref>[http://ds.nintendolife.com/news/2009/05/interviews_nintendotose_the_legendary_starfy Interviews: Nintendo/TOSE - The Legendary Starfy - DS News @ Nintendo Life (with insight about the development of Densetsu no Starfy)]</ref> It originally went under development as a balloon-lifting game, until being reworked as a game where the player has to control a bubble with a Nintendo character in it<ref>[[Nintendo Power]] [http://www.nintendopower.com/images/NP244_Starfy.jpg Volume 244, page 73]</ref> and later a floating character. Both a jellyfish and a starfish were initial considerations, and a starfish was eventually chosen for the game.

Development on this game continued through 1998 and as such, Nintendo encouraged TOSE to rework this game for the Game Boy Color. In 2000, the Game Boy Color version underwent a period of promotion, where details about the game began to surface on the official Japanese [[Nintendo]] website. The game was shown at [[Nintendo World|Nintendo Space World]] as [[Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)|''Densetsu no Starfy'' for the Game Boy Color]].

As the game was approaching its release for the Game Boy Color, it was again canceled and rebuilt for the Game Boy Advance which was only going to be released in 2001. Starfy was apparently going to be purely a starfish, until he was made to fall down from the sky, which supposedly invoked a community policy for TOSE to reply that Starfy is neither a star or a starfish when asked.

There are various differences between the Game Boy Color version and the final Game Boy Advance version still noticeable on Nintendo of Japan's page about the Nintendo Space World trial demo. For example, the official logo and some of the character artwork and names of characters were changed later in development, including [[Moe|Kyorosuke]] (Moe) who was originally known as "Kyororon". It should be noted however that the [[Nintendo World#Nintendo Space World 2001|Nintendo Space World 2001]] trial demo for the [[Game Boy Advance]] was promoted with the old logo used during the Game Boy Color period. There was also character artwork for the Game Boy Advance version from early in development, which although different (with the exception of [[Moe]]), were not final.

''Densetsu no Starfy'' was re-released in Japan for the Wii U Virtual Console on July 29, 2015 for 702 yen (including tax).
==Story==
{{spoiler}}
Surrounded by the vast sea there is a kingdom high above the clouds called [[Pufftop]]. Living there is Starfy, the prince of Pufftop. Starfy is often careless and clumsy in nature. Times were normally peaceful in Pufftop, until Starfy was carrying around valuable [[treasure]] and he accidentally dropped a [[jar]] into the ocean. Just then, the being inside the jar used his magical powers to create a terrible storm. Tornadoes then struck the Pufftop Palace. Starfy struggled to hang on, and eventually dropped into the ocean showing his [[Done For]] pose. Starfy fell straight into [[Lobber's Cave]], located on a small island.

A wise lobster, [[Old Man Lobber]] found Starfy in his cave and asked Starfy if he could hear him. After finding out that Starfy is OK, Old Man Lobber advises that Starfy should rest a while in his cave from the terrible storm. Old Man Lobber wonders what to do with Starfy, as he is too weak to return to Pufftop. Old Man Lobber mentions a friend of his, [[Herman]] and Starfy proceeds to find Herman.

Starfy finds Herman wearing an ordinary gray shell. He has lost his missing home; a conch shell called the [[Pretty Shell]] and Herman asks him to find it. After finding a [[Kettle]], Herman, believing it may have been washed further, gives Starfy a key leading to another part of the level, where Starfy finds a tusk shell - the [[Dentalium Shell]]. After finding the tusk shell, Herman - who finds the shell too small - thinks that it is behind the rocks. He then teaches Starfy how to use the [[Star Spin]] attack. Later, Starfy finds the colorful conch shell and returns it to Herman. Herman is very grateful for Starfy and leads Starfy to the next stage, [[Coral Reef]].

Herman asks Starfy to find his friend who is being chased by bad guys. One of the bad guys is seen swimming away, so Starfy follows him. Starfy advances to a room with two bad guys known as the [[Fork]] [[Fork's brother|brothers]]. When Starfy finds them to be picking on a yellow clam, he defeats them with his Star Spin. The yellow clam is revealed to be [[Moe]]. He reveals that "his dearest" [[Ruby]] was kidnapped by a bad guy called [[Konk]]. It was then Fork and his brother chased after him. Starfy and Moe become good friends, and Moe joins Starfy on his quest back to Pufftop, offering advice. Later, after destroying the Dentalium Shell and the Kettle that were blocking the water from flowing, Starfy finds and defeats Konk. Ruby returns and Moe is much happy to see her again. Starfy and Moe advance to [[Stranded Whale]].

Starfy and Moe decide to continue to help others on their way to Pufftop. Later in the quest, after Starfy and Moe clear the stage [[Sea of Ice]], Starfy finds an unknown demonic eel who came from the jar that Starfy knocked down before he fell into Lobber's Cave. He plans to submerge Starfy and Moe in the Deep Sea, and believes that the "strange clam" is unimportant and that Starfy is an annoyance.

Later on their adventure, Starfy advances to the [[Undersea Ruins]]. An ammonite called [[Horun]] then tries to attack Starfy and Moe. It is revealed that Horun was attacked by a huge creature resembling Starfy created by the demonic eel called [[Doppel]]. Horun tried to confront Doppel, but was left injured. Once Horun realizes who Starfy really is, he helps him and Moe find Pufftop.

Later, Starfy meets Old Man Lobber again, who asks Starfy if he can locate a legendary book called the [[Yogensho]] for him, which according to legend is said to be found in the temple. The two times that Starfy attempts to obtain the book, it disappears and he is blown away by the demonic eel. Old Man Lobber asks Starfy if he found the Yogensho, to which Starfy explains what happened. When Old Man Lobber says that Moe has gone missing, the demonic eel appears again and blows both Starfy and Old Man Lobber away.

When Starfy reunites with Old Man Lobber, he asks if Starfy arrived safely and if he can look for Moe. Moe has been kidnapped by a sea otter known as [[Rarako]]. When Starfy finds Rarako, Rarako thanks him for his 'food' and gives Starfy what he was looking for — the Yogensho. Moe eventually escapes and Old Man Lobber finally gets to read the book. Moe is excited regarding the legends of the Yogensho, though it seems that he spoke too soon as the demonic eel appears to blow Starfy, Moe and Old Man Lobber away.

Starfy and Moe are taken away to the boss room with Doppel. The demonic eel brings Doppel to his full power and vanishes. After Starfy defeats Doppel, the demonic eel leaves behind the jar that Starfy dropped from Pufftop Palace and the Yogensho. Starfy, Moe and Old Man Lobber advance to the [[Sea of Sky]] that leads to Pufftop and Old Man Lobber begins to read the Yogensho. The Yogensho reveals that the demonic eel's name is [[Ogura]]. It prophesied correctly that a large storm never seen before would hit the sea and the demon Ogura would go on a rampage until a hero appears to hunt down Ogura's minions one after the other.

Ogura leaves three bosses for Starfy to battle before he advances to Pufftop. Starfy, Moe and Old Man Lobber's main objective now is to defeat Ogura and bring peace back to Pufftop.

==List of soundtrack==
{{main|Densetsu no Starfy/Soundtrack}}
There are 44 tunes in this game (excluding a few jingles) and possibly one unused track that sounds like [[Opening 2 (music)|Opening Demo]] without the background percussion. These (except for the aforementioned track) become available in an option called the [[Sea Jams]], that can be unlocked by returning [[Wotsaruto]]'s [[Tone of Ocean (instrument)|Tone of Ocean instrument]] for the second time, after beating [[Ogura]] once.

==[[Toys|Picture Book]]==
{{main|Densetsu no Starfy/Picture Book}}
''Densetsu no Starfy'' is the first game to feature the [[Toys|Picture Book]], known in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'' as the Trading Cards and [[Toys]] in the North American and Australian versions of ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''. The Picture Book is listing of characters and enemies by [[Stage]], though ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'' and ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'' lists enemies found by [[Vehicles List|Vehicles]] in a separate section, while ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'' and ''The Legendary Starfy'' lists friends in their own section instead of grouping them with the enemies.

Each character and enemy has their own comment that is read by [[Moe]] and an animated version of their sprite is shown. The [[Nintendo Official Guidebook]]s use different descriptions, however.

Some characters [[Rare Enemies|and enemies]] are rare and can only be encountered after beating the game for the first time. The challenge of completing the Picture Book was advertised as a selling point of ''Densetsu no Starfy'' prior to release on the [[Nintendo World#Nintendo Space World 2001|Nintendo Space World 2001]] [[List of official The Legendary Starfy series websites#Nintendo Space World 2001|official mini-site]].

When the Picture Book is complete, the game shows a "Perfect!" (Japanese: パーフェクト！) screen with Starfy and Moe jumping up and down, [[Old Man Lobber]], and fish coming out of the Picture Book every time the player chooses to load it. This screen is not included in the other games.

==Trivia==
*This is the only [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|Starfy]] game where Starfy starts with [[Glide]] and does not have to learn it to use it.
*This game, along with ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', are the only games that don't have [[Moe's House]] as a feature. Instead, ''Densetsu no Starfy'' features the [[List]] that has the [[Toys|Picture Book]], [[Treasure Items]], [[Minigames]] and [[Photograph]] options, as well as an [[Extra!]] option that is a menu where the [[Sea Jams]], Staff Rolls and [[Ending]]s are accessible.
*This game, along with ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', have the least amount of stages in the Starfy series with nine stages.

*[[Fukafuka]] is the only character Starfy cannot meet until completion of the game.
*This is the only Starfy game where Starfy doesn't keep his own Pearls but instead stores them in [[Moe]].
**This is also the only Starfy game without a shop.
*This is the only Starfy game where when comboing enemies there is no interlude between [[Starfy]] gaining one [[Pearl]]s and Starfy gaining one big Pearl. In the other Starfy games, Starfy or Starly would gain two pearls right away after comboing for the second Pearl.
*In this game Starfy's sprite looks a little different than in the other Starfy games of the ''Game Boy Advance'', and it is the only Starfy game where the [[dizziness]] sound effect and the low health sound effect are completely different than in the other Starfy games, and likely leftovers from [[Densetsu no Stafy (GBC)]].
*This is the only Starfy game to not have costumes.
*This game, along with ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'', are the only ones to not have upgrades for the transformations.
*There is a small glitch in this game, similar to one in ''The Legendary Starfy'' where Starfy can attack straight through some one hit enemies without the rebound pushback effect that he gets for attacking enemies.

*This is the only game where Starfy doesn't need the [[Ultra Star Spin]] to beat the game.
*This is the only game where Starfy doesn't need any of the [[:category:transformations|transformations]] to beat the game the first time.
*It is the only Starfy game in the series that was [[Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)|originally made]] for the ''[[nwiki:Game Boy|Game Boy]]'' and later the ''[[nwiki:Game Boy Color|Game Boy Color]]'' rather than the ''Game Boy Advance''.
*There is a [[demo glitch|glitch]] in this game that allows Starfy to take control of the attract mode and skip to any stage from the second stage, though it is impossible to complete the [[Toys|Picture Book]] this way.
*As of September 6, 2017 onward, a ''Densetsu no Starfy'' [[Fan translations of The Legendary Starfy series|fan translation]] is being worked on.
*During development, both the Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color prototypes' names were marked （仮称, ''tentative''）, which may suggest the name was not fully decided, but the game was released as Densetsu no Starfy anyway.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190329141549/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/sw2000/itiran/nin.html Archived Nintendo Space World 2000 listing]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160917205340/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/sw2001/softlist/list_nin.html Archived Nintendo Space World 2001 listing]</ref>

==Prototypes==
{{main|Densetsu no Starfy/Regional differences}}
''Note: This section contains sensitive information and profanity. Viewer discretion is advised.''

A Chinese version of this game was planned for [[wikipedia:iQue|iQue]] series as 斯塔非的传说 (pronounced "Sitafei De Chuanshuo") (Chinese Nintendo console brand), but never released. It is officially referred to as "The Legend of Stafy" in staff credits. The ROM image of a release candidate of this localization along with ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'' was leaked to the public in March 2019.<ref>Zhihu (not linked for legal reasons)</ref><ref>Hidden Palace (not linked for legal reasons)</ref>

[[File:Starfy1 ZH title.png]]

An additional localization prototype also exists with its own font.<ref>[https://twitter.com/LuigiBlood/status/1273395758201475072/photo/2 Screenshots from an anonymous 4ch user, mirrored on Twitter by LuigiBlood]</ref> It appears to have been intended for an official English release, based on the account of an anonymous owner of a prototype, but cancelled. In the prototype version, [[Moe]] is known as "Kyoro" (shortened from his Japanese name Kyorosuke), and one of the conversations with him features profanity (an easy mistake to mistake from translation of derogatory Japanese words without regard to connotations, audience and impact).

The prototype came with 128M flash memory in a regular colored Game Pak but resembles a special type of cartridge such as a rumble or tilt cart. It is also marked with a red sticker with the writing [[Tose]] 四条分室 (Shijo Branch Office) No 062 (possibly Shijo Street in Kyoto; the city where Tose operates). The prototype was found on an eBay listing from a seller of various prototypes, according to an October 2018 archived 4ch thread.<ref>[https://warosu.org/vr/thread/5078072 Archived 4ch thread]</ref>

This coincides with an official account by Nintendo Treehouse but regarding a different game; the fifth and only localised official ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'' game for [[Nintendo DS]], though it is not known if Bihldorff misremembered the game for the original.<ref>[http://kotaku.com/inside-the-treehouse-the-people-who-help-make-nintendo-1301809672 Nintendo's Secret Weapon - Kotaku April 22nd 2014]</ref>
