'''Ogura''', also known as '''Ohgura'''<ref>A romanization in the [[Nintendo Official Guidebook|''Densetsu no Starfy 3 Nintendo Official Guidebook'']], page 8. He is later mentioned in the English translation of ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'' (the fifth game in the [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''Legendary Starfy'']] series) as Ogura, however.</ref> is the main antagonist of the first three games of [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]] alongside [[Evil]] in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''. He serves under Evil, who Ogura calls his "personage". Evil first told Ogura about [[Pufftop]] a long time ago when he was young and asked him to conquer Pufftop.

==History==
===Background===
According to a flashback in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'' shown when Ogura is travelling through [[Misty Town]] towards [[Kachiwari Iceberg]], he fought with a young [[Papa Star]] who defeated Ogura with the help of [[Old Man Lobber]] and presumably imprisoned him in the [[jar]]. The [[fog]] in Misty Town reminds him of the battle at the time.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''===
While carrying the [[jar]], a crown and [[treasure]] in [[Pufftop]], [[Papa Star]]'s son [[Starfy]] accidentally released Ogura from his imprisonment in the mysterious jar. Just then, Ogura (whose name was still unknown to Starfy at this time) 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. Later in the story, Ogura banished the young prince into the [[Deep Sea]].

Later, in [[Undersea Temple]], [[Old Man Lobber]] asks Starfy if he can locate a legendary book called the [[prophecy]] for him, which according to legend is said to be found in the temple. The first two times Starfy attempts to obtain the book, it disappears and he is blown away by the monster. After Starfy defeats [[Doppel]], Ogura leaves behind the jar and the prophecy. In [[Sea of Sky]], when Old Man Lobber begins to read the prophecy it reveals Ogura's name. It prophesied correctly that a large storm would hit the sea and that a hero would have to defeat Ogura's minions one after the other.

After the final battle with Ogura, Starfy makes up for his mistake by imprisoning Ogura in the jar once again, although he accidentally trips and knocks 45 [[treasure]] chests into the ocean. When Moe chases him, Starfy knocks over the jar and releases Ogura once again. If Starfy imprisons Ogura without obtaining all the treasure, he will continue to make the mistake of knocking the jar into the ocean again until all 45 treasure chests have been obtained.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''===
In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'', Ogura created [[Puchi Ogura|10 children]] who, with their father's power, were able to escape the jar. Ogura then captured [[Mama Star]] and brought her to his lair. After defeating his children, Starfy would then defeat Ogura once again.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''===
{{spoiler}}
In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', Evil permanently destroyed the jar, leaving Ogura with no prison. Ogura would then return to Evil in a hurry, trying not to be late.

While flying past [[Misty Town]], Ogura remembers losing to [[Papa Star]]. When Ogura arrives in [[Kachiwari Iceberg]], he is hiding because Evil; whose name is first revealed at this time is angry, just like when Ogura lost to Papa Star. In a flashback, Evil says he'll give Ogura "one last chance" (presumably at conquering Pufftop).

Later, while flying past the [[Jungle]], Ogura found several pots belonging to [[Burako]] and broke some of them because they reminded him of living in the dark [[jar]] which Ogura hated. When Ogura made it to [[Flamer Volcano]], he blew away the [[Chibi-Sansho]] who were throwing rocks at him and reminded him of his deceased children — the [[Puchi Ogura]].

In [[Gabun Ocean Trench]], [[Taiblond]] reveals photographs that show Ogura headed through [[Old Castle]], passing [[Undersea Ruins]] and [[Sea of Sky]] on the way. When Ogura arrives at Old Castle, Evil tells him off for being late. Ogura apologizes to Evil but Evil states that the conquest of Pufftop has failed entirely. He again gives Ogura one last chance. Evil gives Ogura a "power up", and alters Ogura's appearance to make him stronger.

When Starfy, Starly and Moe reach Old Castle, they do not get to confront Evil and discover through the [[Pufftop Scholar]] that they require 42 [[Evil Crystal]]s to truly defeat Evil. The Pufftop Scholar gives Starfy and others one of them, while all but one of the others is found at the end of past levels. Short of one Evil Crystal, in the final battle with Evil things look bad for Starfy, Starly and Moe until Ogura appears and spares the last Evil Crystal; the reason being that he did not want to lose his heart. Ogura (referred to as ボロボロのオーグラ改 ('''Altered Worn-Out Ogura''')) dies to the grief of Starfy, Starly and Moe — it is revealed that he had sacrificed his life to save Starfy, Starly and Moe and defeat Evil.

===Mentions===
====''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''====
Both Ogura and [[Evil]] are mentioned [[Densetsu no Starfy 4/Text dump|in texts]] in the game, but do not appear.

One of the Phone Calls viewable in Moe's House features an unknown caller who calls Moe, but says nothing for as short time. After Moe tells them to say something, they simply say "Ogura" before hanging up. There are no hints as to who this voice may belong to, but it must be someone who knows Ogura, and likely knows of his fate at the end of Starfy 3.

====''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''====
Ogura is mentioned by [[Old Man Lobber]] and indirectly in [[The Pufftop Legends]], but does not appear.

===[[Densetsu no Starfy (Yumiko Sudō)|''Densetsu no Starfy'' (Yumiko Sudō) manga]]===
Ogura makes an appearance, or is shown, or is mentioned many times in the ''Densetsu no Starfy'' manga illustrated by [[Yumiko Sudō]].

{{spoiler}}
====Volume one====
*At the beginning of chapter one, [[DSM01|Going to the Human World Fii!]], Starfy has a dream where he had to save [[Old Man Lobber]] from Ogura, but after saving him, Starfy is attacked by a giant fish monster and wonders if he is going to die, until he wakes up.

*In chapter four, [[DSM04|I Hate Old Man Lobber Fii!]], Starfy drops the [[jar]], releasing Ogura as well as various other enemies like [[Konk]].

*In chapter eight, [[DSM08|False Starfy Appearance Fii!]] (volume one's final chapter), [[Moe]] is taken to [[List of manga locations#Hideout|Doppel's hideout]] where Doppel shows him to Ogura, who hypnotizes him.

====Volume two====
*In chapter one, [[DSM09|Ogura and the Showdown Fii!]], Ogura attacks Pufftop Palace. Starfy decides to return to Pufftop after fighting enemies, but the crisis prevents a planned welcome home party for Starfy from taking place. Starfy tries to get Ogura back in the jar and he succeeds, but only after some trouble where he and Moe almost get stuck in the jar.

*In chapter two, [[DSM10|Out on a New Adventure Fii!]], after Starfy disagrees to work as hard as the [[Pufftop Guard]]s seem to work, [[Papa Star]] slaps him, making him feel angry. The next morning [[Mama Star]] says she agrees with Papa Star. Starfy, in frustration, seems to threaten to release Ogura from the jar. After Mama Star slaps Starfy, Starfy attacks Mama Star, and this causes her to fall and break the jar. Ogura kidnaps Mama Star after he is released from the jar. Despite being mad at Mama Star, Starfy is upset about Mama Star being kidnapped and doesn't hesitate to leave Pufftop to save her.
:Starfy brings Moe with him, thus starting their new journey. Mama Star apparently attacks Ogura, leaving him injured with an 'X' on his right eye.

*In chapter three, [[DSM11|Nostalgic Reunion Fii!]] takes place after Mama Star was kidnapped by Ogura, though he is not actually seen in this chapter even though he appears in a thought bubble.

*In chapter five, [[DSM13|Get Mama Back Fii!]], Starfy misses Mama Star after she was kidnapped by Ogura and is sitting down in sadness next to the ocean. After Starfy finds a bottle with a video tape inside, he plays it with a video player and it is revealed to be a message from Mama Star to Starfy, who informs him she is in [[Ogura Castle]].
:Later, after Starfy and Moe find it, they have to fight Mama Star after Ogura tells them she has been brainwashed. Starfy successfully traps Ogura in the jar. "To tell the peace", Starfy, Moe and Mama Star throw many bottles full of video tapes (video messages) into the sea, but Starfy worries that the jar may have been thrown into the sea with the video tapes.

*In chapter seven, "[[DSM15|Big Panic, the Jar is Broken Fii!]]", the people of [[Pufftop]] are celebrating the return of peace to their home, but Starfy accidentally smashes the jar into a table. The jar breaks and Ogura gets out of a hole from the jar, but he happens to be asleep. Starfy tries to fit Ogura back in the hole in the jar and seals up the hole with tape, but this doesn't work as the tape becomes undone and his tail sticks out of the jar again. After trying to hide Ogura from Papa Star and the Pufftop Guards, Starfy accidentally drops the jar from Pufftop Palace after spitting it out, pretending Ogura's tail is food to fool Papa Star. The jar then lands on a cloud.
:An old man called [[Shuuri-jiisan]] tells Starfy and Moe that he is running a repair shop, and offers to repair the jar if Starfy and Moe bring him some cured clay. Shuuri-jiisan claims the clay is 'out of stock', and Starfy and Moe are forced to use a map to go through six highly dangerous areas to reach the clay. These areas include the [[List of manga locations#Ocean of Sharks|Ocean of Sharks]], the [[List of manga locations#Magma Reservoir|Magma Reservoir]], the [[List of manga locations#Sea Urchin's Nest|Sea Urchin's Nest]], the [[List of manga locations#Sharp Tunnel|Sharp Tunnel]], the [[List of manga locations#Waterfall Climb|Waterfall Climb]], and the [[List of manga locations#Sludge Pond|Sludge Pond]].
:Navigating these areas leaves Starfy and Moe in a bad shape. After they obtain the clay, it is revealed that Shuuri-jiisan is Ogura in disguise.
:As the other residents of Pufftop are still partying, Papa Star sees two 'shooting stars'. Papa Star starts to make a wish, but the [[Pufftop Guard|guards]] tell him that it is actually Starfy and Moe chasing Ogura.

*In chapter nine, "[[DSM17|Meeting a Friendly Tree Fii!]]", while Starfy and Moe are sleeping in a tent in a forest they hear a loud noise and Starfy thinks it could be Ogura, but it happens to be a giant tree called [[Yugudorajii]] moaning in pain, because one of his branches is broken. Moe had broken one of his branches to use as a tent peg, but didn't want to say so.
:After Starfy puts a bandage around the broken branch, Yugudorajii rewards him with fruit and tells him and Moe more about himself. He said that he attacks anyone that tries to cut his branches and said someone recently cut one of his branches while he was asleep. Moe nervously suggests that Ogura is responsible, and Yugudorajii says he knows Ogura and saw him go towards a mountain the day before.
:Starfy and Moe climb the mountain, but they notice that a fire has started at the forest they left, and it is revealed to them that Ogura clearly started the fire because he is seen passing by with a torch. Starfy extinguishes the fire with a "water tornado" [[Star Spin]], only for Starfy and Moe to find that Yugudorajii had already burned down. Starfy starts to cry, but a voice tells him not to cry. A small tree comes out of the ground where the branch tent peg was and introduces himself as Yugudorajii. The smaller Yugudorajii tells Starfy and Moe that branches planted in the soil can become new trees. Starfy cries with joy. Moe proudly tells them that he was one who planted the branch. The new Yugudorajii grows some fruit. Moe assumes it's a gift for him, but then Yugudorajii attacks him for breaking a branch off the bigger Yugudorajii.

*In chapter ten, "[[DSM18|Mines are Dangerous Fii!]]", Starfy and Moe are seen on the top of a mountain, searching for Ogura. When they try to find the source of the smell of some tasty food, they encounter [[Sir Hokwi]] and the [[Hokwi Group]] who want to take care of some land mines placed in the town by Ogura.

*In chapter eleven, "[[DSM19|The Sealed Jar and the Big Disturbance Fii!]]" (volume two's final chapter), a [[Pufftop Guard]] riding a flying star-shaped object called the [[Pufftop Vehicle]] introduces a longer version of the jar. Ogura comes over and knocks it out of Starfy's hand. Moe grabs the jar in anger and tries to stop Ogura from using it but Ogura takes the cork out of the jar and it sucks up Starfy and the Pufftop Vehicle.
:Starfy is forced to escape from the jar using the Pufftop Vehicle, but is worried that everyone was defeated by Ogura, so he checks the places he has previously visited, only to find no one is there. When Starfy visits Pufftop as his last destination, he finds Ogura. Starfy wants to trap him inside a jar, but Ogura thinks he is a fool because Starfy has no jar, and knocks Starfy into the ocean with his tail towards some spikes. Ogura comments that he wishes he could "come back to life".
:Starfy is saved by Moe by a rope that pulls him out of the jar. It turns out that he was pulled out of the jar by Moe, who winks at Starfy. Starfy is surprised to see that everyone he was looking for are there to cheer him on and they are all glad that he is safe.
:Moe and the Pufftop Guard explain that both Ogura and Starfy were sucked up by the long jar and Mama Star explains that the world inside the jar is similar to Starfy's world, but without any living things, to which Starfy replies that he didn't know that at all. Starfy feels honored that everyone is there for him, including Old Man Lobber who Starfy is close to. He seems to have recovered from his memory loss in chapter three of volume two, Nostalgic Reunion Fii! and he also explains that news has come in that Ogura has died. Starfy starts to cry hysterically but says that it is 'good everyone is unharmed'.

== Trivia ==
* If one looks at [[Konk]] closely it can be noticed that he bears some resemblance to Ogura without the fire on his head and with a shell.
* Ogura shares some traits with another Nintendo villain: [[mariowiki:Bowser|Bowser]]. Both have kidnapped a royal character at one point, both have multiple children, and both are known to create magic in some way.
* A lot of the time his text is only in katakana.
* His final form looks similar to [[Evil]].
* In ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'', Ogura's text just prior to the scripted loss boss fight cannot be skipped with Start, though text in later parts of the event is skippable. This is only possible prior to completion of the file.<ref>Note: This point was tested on Wii U Virtual Console. As it is a technical detail, there is a possibility although not tested that it works differently on the cartridge version.</ref>

== Name origin ==
*Possibly from {{alttext|小暗い|おぐらい}} (''ogurai''), meaning dusky, dim or shady with a lengthened オ/お (o).

Projectile7000:

[[File:Star_Spin2.png|thumb|220px|Official artwork of Starfy, using his '''Star Spin''' attack from ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'']]

The '''Star Spin''' ('''Spin Attack''', スピンアタック in Japan) is [[Starfy]] and [[Starly]]'s main attack. It is performed by pressing the Y button in ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', or the B button in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'' and the [[Game Boy Advance]] games. Starfy/Starly spins around to attack enemies or break barriers. If they spin too much, though, they'll get [[Dizziness|dizzy]]. and they can't move for a few seconds. If the player moves the control pad around, their dizziness time will shorten. Starfy's Star Spin can be upgraded to Mighty Star Spin then Ultra Star Spin later in the games.
==Varieties==
===Normal Star Spin===
The starting Star Spin. In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'', this ability is first taught to Starfy by [[Herman]] in [[Lobber's Cave]]. This Star Spin can break blocks without being bumped, but Starfy/Starly move slower while using it. It is used on land even after Starfy upgrades to Mighty Star Spin and Ultra Star Spin. Starfy can also still use it in water if he spins without moving.
====Description from ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''====
"Use your Star Spin to attack bad guys or break barriers. Just don't get too dizzy!"
===Mighty Star Spin===
Known as Spin Attack level 2 in Japan. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] games, [[Chuta]] always taught it to Starfy. It can get through fast currents and Starfy moves faster while using it, but breaking blocks also bumps Starfy so it takes longer to break a row of blocks than it does for even the normal Star Spin. Starly never gets to use the Mighty Star Spin. [[Shakejii]] teaches it in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''.
====Description from ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''====
"Use this move just under the surface to pop out and leap into the sky!"
===Ultra Star Spin===
Known as Spin Attack level 3 in Japan. Starfy moves fast and doesn't get bumped by breaking blocks while using it. It is taught to him by [[Gekojii]] in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' and ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''. [[Gekyojii]] teaches it in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''. [[Jojiro]] teaches it in [[Thousand Year Hill]] (7-3) in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''. [[Herbert]] teaches it in [[Skydye Heights]] (6-3) in ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', who mistakes Starfy for a lookalike. Starly never gets to use it.
====Description from ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''====
"It's an even stronger Star Spin! This one will spin you farther too."

'''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 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 a well. The misunderstanding caused Moe to take offense 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 ==
=== ''[[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.

=== ''[[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".

=== ''[[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]] during the events of ''The Legendary Starfy''. One day, Starfy was having a peaceful nap, then a strange bunny 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.

==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 seen 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? His commitment to helping you when summoned is obvious, even if his species isn't. He'll use a [[Star Spin]] attack, which isn't all that powerful. It's the thought that counts!
|Starfy is [[Pufftop|Pufftop Kingdom]]'s scatterbrained prince and the hero of [[The Legendary Starfy]]. He looks like a star, or maybe a starfish - no one knows what he really is.

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

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

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

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

== 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.
