'''Starly''' (known as '''Stapy''' in Japan) is [[Starfy]]'s younger sister and a major character in [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. She made her first appearance in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', and is usually quite rude and always pushes [[Moe]] and Starfy to their limits to do something, although more responsible than Starfy. Only she can perform [[Crawl]]s, [[Wall Jump]]s, [[Low Spin]]s and the [[Pufftop Barrier]] [[Spill]] ability.

==History==

==Before Densetsu no Starfy 3==
Somtime after Starfy was born in Pufftop Kingdom to Papa Star and Mama Star, his sister Starly was born. She did not go on an adventure when Ogura was freed from the Magic Jar the first two times, but when Evil sets Ogura free by destroying the Magic Jar, is the time that Starly would have her first adventure with Starfy and Moe.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''===
After [[Ogura]] escapes [[Pufftop]], Starly interrupts Papa Star and Moe's conversation. Moe had never seen Starly before, so she introduced herself as Starfy's younger sister. Eventually she decides to join Starfy and Moe on their quest to find Ogura. She then pushes them both to the sea and jumps to join them.

{{spoiler}}
In [[Lobber's Cave]]'s [[Area]] 4, Starfy, and Moe meet Konk again while Starly meets him for the first time. Konk attacks Moe and Starly sending them flying away from Starfy and he has to find them. Starly finds herself alone and she tries to get back to Starfy and Moe, on her way back she meets Yggdra-jii who tells her that he saw Ogura flying towards the [[Coral Coast]]. Later Starly overhears Konk say that while he looks cool under a spotlight, it makes him too hot to wear his protective helmet. Getting an idea Starly keeps it over him despite Konk's attempts to move out of it making him lose the helmet and Starly getting it. Unfortunately, Konk notices her and he corners her. But just as Konk is about to hurt Starly unless she gives him back his helmet, Starfy and Moe appear scaring Konk into the boss room and rescuing Starly. Konk fights Starfy again, but he loses again because without his helmet, he is vulnerable to Starfy's star spins again.

Later 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.

Then in [[Kachiwari Iceberg]]'s [[Area]] 1, Starfy and Starly find [[Saint Nak]]s sack of presents but they get into an argument over who will deliver it, Starly storms off and goes on her own, then in Area 3 she says she will catch Ogura all by herself but, when she hears that a [[Taruika]] is trapped in a room full of strong currents and she tries to help it, when she gets to the same room as it, she realizes that she is trapped as she can't fight the strong currents and she cries. Later Starfy rescues her from the currents and Starly apologizes for arguing with him and they both decide to work together as a team and no longer fight with each other.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''===
After [[Mattel]] tells Starfy and friends about the trouble at the [[Amiy Kingdom]], Starly talks about [[Ruby]] to Moe. She was most likely trying convince him to help her and Starfy save the Amiy Kingdom to impress Ruby. Later, all three of them return to the sea.

===''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''===
In ''The Legendary Starfy'', players can join one another, one of them playing as Starly. Starly has special moves players playing as Starfy cannot learn or use, such as jumping off of walls. She appears smaller (in-game) than Starfy, and is always seen wearing her pink bow. To access playing as Starly, Moe will ask Starfy if he wants Starly to join them. Players can also choose to "be" Starly via the select button to change the character shown in the [[Stuff]] menu, though this will not change the actual character in game.

Starly is featured in a [[minigames|mini-game]] called "[[Dumpling Master]]". She and the player make dumplings to give to Starfy, who then feeds them to Moe. She also makes two small appearances in other mini-games. One is after the results are shown for "Coin Slinger". She can also be seen in the audience of stars. Another is in [[Fishing Derby]]. She puts bait in the water and Moe comes. Starly will be the only pink one wearing her signature bow.

After defeating the final boss, a new world will open up. It is [[Pufftop]], and the player character is Starly in this world.

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
Starly appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as both a collectable [[smashwiki:trophy|trophy]] and [[smashwiki:sticker|sticker]] (then referred to by the official romanization of her Japanese name, as "Stapy") using her artwork from ''Densetsu no Stafy 3'' with the ability of increasing a fighter's indirect attacks by 4. According to the Japanese version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', she speaks using the [[wikipedia:Kansai dialect|Kansai dialect]]. For the North American version, this was changed to say "[[wikipedia:Kansai region|Kansai accent]]".

*In Starfy 3, after seeing [[Saint Nak]]'s red and white suit, Starly says that he looks just like Santa, implying that Santa may be a figure known to Pufftop denizens as a whole.

{{Quote|Anyway, I'm Starfy's sister. Hi, everyone! Some people ask me if it's tough being Starfy's sis. And I tell them that the toughest part is fighting all the bad guys while Starfy takes naps!|Starly|The Legendary Starfy}}

'''Starly''' (known as '''Stapy''' in Japan) is [[Starfy]]'s younger sister and a major character in [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. She made her first appearance in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', and is usually quite rude and always pushes [[Moe]] and Starfy to their limits to do something, although more responsible than Starfy. Only she can perform [[Crawl]]s, [[Wall Jump]]s, [[Low Spin]]s and the [[Pufftop Barrier]] [[Spill]] ability.

==History==

==Before Densetsu no Starfy 3==
Somtime after Starfy was born in Pufftop Kingdom to Papa Star and Mama Star, his sister Starly was born. She did not go on an adventure when Ogura was freed from the Magic Jar the first two times, but when Evil sets Ogura free by destroying the Magic Jar, is the time that Starly would have her first adventure with Starfy and Moe.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''===
After [[Ogura]] escapes [[Pufftop]], Starly interrupts Papa Star and Moe's conversation. Moe had never seen Starly before, so she introduced herself as Starfy's younger sister. Eventually she decides to join Starfy and Moe on their quest to find Ogura. She then pushes them both to the sea and jumps to join them.

{{spoiler}}
In [[Lobber's Cave]]'s [[Area]] 4, Starfy, and Moe meet Konk again while Starly meets him for the first time. Konk attacks Moe and Starly sending them flying away from Starfy and he has to find them. Starly finds herself alone and she tries to get back to Starfy and Moe, on her way back she meets Yggdra-jii who tells her that he saw Ogura flying towards the [[Coral Coast]]. Later Starly overhears Konk say that while he looks cool under a spotlight, it makes him too hot to wear his protective helmet. Getting an idea Starly keeps it over him despite Konk's attempts to move out of it making him lose the helmet and Starly getting it. Unfortunately, Konk notices her and he corners her. But just as Konk is about to hurt Starly unless she gives him back his helmet, Starfy and Moe appear scaring Konk into the boss room and rescuing Starly. Konk fights Starfy again, but he loses again because without his helmet, he is vulnerable to Starfy's star spins again.

Later 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]]''===
After [[Mattel]] tells Starfy and friends about the trouble at the [[Amiy Kingdom]], Starly talks about [[Ruby]] to Moe. She was most likely trying convince him to help her and Starfy save the Amiy Kingdom to impress Ruby. Later, all three of them return to the sea.

===''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''===
In ''The Legendary Starfy'', players can join one another, one of them playing as Starly. Starly has special moves players playing as Starfy cannot learn or use, such as jumping off of walls. She appears smaller (in-game) than Starfy, and is always seen wearing her pink bow. To access playing as Starly, Moe will ask Starfy if he wants Starly to join them. Players can also choose to "be" Starly via the select button to change the character shown in the [[Stuff]] menu, though this will not change the actual character in game.

Starly is featured in a [[minigames|mini-game]] called "[[Dumpling Master]]". She and the player make dumplings to give to Starfy, who then feeds them to Moe. She also makes two small appearances in other mini-games. One is after the results are shown for "Coin Slinger". She can also be seen in the audience of stars. Another is in [[Fishing Derby]]. She puts bait in the water and Moe comes. Starly will be the only pink one wearing her signature bow.

After defeating the final boss, a new world will open up. It is [[Pufftop]], and the player character is Starly in this world.

====[[toys|toy]] description====
"It's Starfy's boisterous and bubbly younger sister! Gotta love that bow! Starly isn't naturally a fighter, she's more of--no, actually, she's a fighter!" (#097)

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
Starly appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as both a collectable [[smashwiki:trophy|trophy]] and [[smashwiki:sticker|sticker]] (then referred to by the official romanization of her Japanese name, as "Stapy") using her artwork from ''Densetsu no Stafy 3'' with the ability of increasing a fighter's indirect attacks by 4. According to the Japanese version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', she speaks using the [[wikipedia:Kansai dialect|Kansai dialect]]. For the North American version, this was changed to say "[[wikipedia:Kansai region|Kansai accent]]".

'''Mama Star''' is [[Starfy]] and [[Starly]]'s mother. She makes an appearance in every one of the games in the [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'', she got kidnapped from [[Pufftop Palace]] by [[Ogura]]. In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', she is playable in [[Pufftop Dance Battle]]. Player 3 plays her.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', the colors of Starly's version of the [[Densetsu no Starfy 4/Stuff#Clothes|Pufftop Clothes]] are the same as Mama Star's clothes, but Starly's version has two yellow stars on their right-side not visible on Mama Star's clothes. Also, this version has two parts which include the main part of the clothes and and an 'undergarment' attached to the main part, which is roughly circular when viewed from above, which is similar to the bottom section of Mama Star's clothes.

[[File:MamaStar.png|thumb|left|200px|Artwork from ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'']]

==Before [[Densetsu no Starfy]]==
Long ago, Mama Star and Papa Star got married and some unknown time later, their children Starfy and Starly were born.

==In [[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]==
Mama Star is kidnapped by Ogura and he takes her to his castle, where he imprisons her to get revenge against Starfy. While Mama Star is being taken away she drops Treasure Chests to leave a trail for Starfy to follow so that he could find Ogura, defeat him and rescue her.
{{spoiler}}
Eventually Starfy was able to chase Ogura down to his castle. Starfy and Ogura fought with the fate of Mama Star at stake. If Starfy won, Ogura would be imprisoned in the Magic Jar again and Starfy would rescue and be reunited with Mama Star, but if Ogura won, Starfy would die and Mama Star would forever be Ogura's Prisoner.

'''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.

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 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.

====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.
*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.

{{Quote|Anyway, I'm Starfy's sister. Hi, everyone! Some people ask me if it's tough being Starfy's sis. And I tell them that the toughest part is fighting all the bad guys while Starfy takes naps!|Starly|The Legendary Starfy}}

'''Starly''' (known as '''Stapy''' in Japan) is [[Starfy]]'s younger sister and a major character in [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. She made her first appearance in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', and is usually quite rude and always pushes [[Moe]] and Starfy to their limits to do something, although more responsible than Starfy. Only she can perform [[Crawl]]s, [[Wall Jump]]s, [[Low Spin]]s and the [[Pufftop Barrier]] [[Spill]] ability.

==History==

==Before Densetsu no Starfy 3==
Somtime after Starfy was born in Pufftop Kingdom to Papa Star and Mama Star, his sister Starly was born. She did not go on an adventure when Ogura was freed from the Magic Jar the first two times, but when Evil sets Ogura free by destroying the Magic Jar, is the time that Starly would have her first adventure with Starfy and Moe.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''===
After [[Ogura]] escapes [[Pufftop]], Starly interrupts Papa Star and Moe's conversation. Moe had never seen Starly before, so she introduced herself as Starfy's younger sister. Eventually she decides to join Starfy and Moe on their quest to find Ogura. She then pushes them both to the sea and jumps to join them.

{{spoiler}}
In [[Lobber's Cave]]'s [[Area]] 4, Starfy, and Moe meet Konk again while Starly meets him for the first time. Konk attacks Moe and Starly sending them flying away from Starfy and he has to find them. Starly finds herself alone and she tries to get back to Starfy and Moe, on her way back she meets Yggdra-jii who tells her that he saw Ogura flying towards the [[Coral Coast]]. Later Starly overhears Konk say that while he looks cool under a spotlight, it makes him too hot to wear his protective helmet. Getting an idea Starly keeps it over him despite Konk's attempts to move out of it making him lose the helmet and Starly getting it. Unfortunately, Konk notices her and he corners her. But just as Konk is about to hurt Starly unless she gives him back his helmet, Starfy and Moe appear scaring Konk into the boss room and rescuing Starly. Konk fights Starfy again, but he loses again because without his helmet, he is vulnerable to Starfy's star spins again.
{{endspoiler}}

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''===
After [[Mattel]] tells Starfy and friends about the trouble at the [[Amiy Kingdom]], Starly talks about [[Ruby]] to Moe. She was most likely trying convince him to help her and Starfy save the Amiy Kingdom to impress Ruby. Later, all three of them return to the sea.

===''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''===
In ''The Legendary Starfy'', players can join one another, one of them playing as Starly. Starly has special moves players playing as Starfy cannot learn or use, such as jumping off of walls. She appears smaller (in-game) than Starfy, and is always seen wearing her pink bow. To access playing as Starly, Moe will ask Starfy if he wants Starly to join them. Players can also choose to "be" Starly via the select button to change the character shown in the [[Stuff]] menu, though this will not change the actual character in game.

Starly is featured in a [[minigames|mini-game]] called "[[Dumpling Master]]". She and the player make dumplings to give to Starfy, who then feeds them to Moe. She also makes two small appearances in other mini-games. One is after the results are shown for "Coin Slinger". She can also be seen in the audience of stars. Another is in [[Fishing Derby]]. She puts bait in the water and Moe comes. Starly will be the only pink one wearing her signature bow.

After defeating the final boss, a new world will open up. It is [[Pufftop]], and the player character is Starly in this world.

====[[toys|toy]] description====
"It's Starfy's boisterous and bubbly younger sister! Gotta love that bow! Starly isn't naturally a fighter, she's more of--no, actually, she's a fighter!" (#097)

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
Starly appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as both a collectable [[smashwiki:trophy|trophy]] and [[smashwiki:sticker|sticker]] (then referred to by the official romanization of her Japanese name, as "Stapy") using her artwork from ''Densetsu no Stafy 3'' with the ability of increasing a fighter's indirect attacks by 4. According to the Japanese version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', she speaks using the [[wikipedia:Kansai dialect|Kansai dialect]]. For the North American version, this was changed to say "[[wikipedia:Kansai region|Kansai accent]]".

Starly appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a [[smashwiki:Spirit|spirit]]. She is an advanced-class primary neutral spirit using her artwork from ''The Legendary Starfy''. Starly's ability decreases the fighter's weight, and her spirit can be found in the light side of the [[smashwiki:The Final Battle (World of Light)|final battle]] in ''World of Light''. Her spirit battle is on the battlefield form of the [[smashwiki:Tortimer Island|Tortimer Island]] stage against a red bow [[smashwiki:Jigglypuff (SSBU)|Jigglypuff]] with temporary invincibility.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'' and ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', Starly's bow is always on her left side, but in ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', it flips when she turns.
*Starly shares the same English name as [[bulbapedia:Starly (Pokémon)|a Pokémon]].
*She has never had her exclusive abilities taught to her by the same character twice.
*In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', Starfy can wear [[Densetsu no Starfy 4/Stuff#Accessories|her bow]] in the [[Stuff]].
*In ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', she does not forget how to use her exclusive abilities.
*She looks similar to the [[Pufftop Kids]] in terms of color.
**This is supported by the fact that her name in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3|Starfy 3]]'''s opening is {{alttext|テンカイコドモのおんなの子|Tenkai Kodomo no Onna no Ko}}, or literally "Female Pufftop Kid"
*In Starfy 3, after seeing [[Saint Nak]]'s red and white suit, Starly says that he looks just like Santa, implying that Santa may be a figure known to Pufftop denizens as a whole.

'''Starly''' (known as '''Stapy''' in Japan) is [[Starfy]]'s younger sister and a major character in [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. She made her first appearance in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', and is usually quite rude and always pushes [[Moe]] and Starfy to their limits to do something, although more responsible than Starfy. Only she can perform [[Crawl]]s, [[Wall Jump]]s, [[Low Spin]]s and the [[Pufftop Barrier]] [[Spill]] ability.

==History==

==Before Densetsu no Starfy 3==
Somtime after Starfy was born in Pufftop Kingdom to Papa Star and Mama Star, his sister Starly was bor. She did not go on an adventure when Ogura was freed from the Magic Jar the first two times, but when Evil sets Ogura free by destroying the Magic Jar, is the time that Starly would have her first adventure with Starfy and Moe.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''===
After [[Ogura]] escapes [[Pufftop]], Starly interrupts Papa Star and Moe's conversation. Moe had never seen Starly before, so she introduced herself as Starfy's younger sister. Eventually she decides to join Starfy and Moe on their quest to find Ogura. She then pushes them both to the sea and jumps to join them.

{{spoiler}}
In [[Lobber's Cave]]'s [[Area]] 4, Starfy, and Moe meet Konk again while Starly meets him for the first time. Konk attacks Moe and Starly sending them flying away from Starfy and he has to find them. Starly finds herself alone and she tries to get back to Starfy and Moe, on her way back she meets Yggdra-jii who tells her that he saw Ogura flying towards the [[Coral Coast]]. Later Starly overhears Konk say that while he looks cool under a spotlight, it makes him too hot to wear his protective helmet. Getting an idea Starly keeps it over him despite Konk's attempts to move out of it making him lose the helmet and Starly getting it. Unfortunately, Konk notices her and he corners her. But just as Konk is about to hurt Starly unless she gives him back his helmet, Starfy and Moe appear scaring Konk into the boss room and rescuing Starly. Konk fights Starfy again, but he loses again because without his helmet, he is vulnerable to Starfy's star spins again.
{{endspoiler}}

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''===
After [[Mattel]] tells Starfy and friends about the trouble at the [[Amiy Kingdom]], Starly talks about [[Ruby]] to Moe. She was most likely trying convince him to help her and Starfy save the Amiy Kingdom to impress Ruby. Later, all three of them return to the sea.

===''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''===
In ''The Legendary Starfy'', players can join one another, one of them playing as Starly. Starly has special moves players playing as Starfy cannot learn or use, such as jumping off of walls. She appears smaller (in-game) than Starfy, and is always seen wearing her pink bow. To access playing as Starly, Moe will ask Starfy if he wants Starly to join them. Players can also choose to "be" Starly via the select button to change the character shown in the [[Stuff]] menu, though this will not change the actual character in game.

Starly is featured in a [[minigames|mini-game]] called "[[Dumpling Master]]". She and the player make dumplings to give to Starfy, who then feeds them to Moe. She also makes two small appearances in other mini-games. One is after the results are shown for "Coin Slinger". She can also be seen in the audience of stars. Another is in [[Fishing Derby]]. She puts bait in the water and Moe comes. Starly will be the only pink one wearing her signature bow.

After defeating the final boss, a new world will open up. It is [[Pufftop]], and the player character is Starly in this world.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
Starly appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as both a collectable [[smashwiki:trophy|trophy]] and [[smashwiki:sticker|sticker]] (then referred to by the official romanization of her Japanese name, as "Stapy") using her artwork from ''Densetsu no Stafy 3'' with the ability of increasing a fighter's indirect attacks by 4. According to the Japanese version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', she speaks using the [[wikipedia:Kansai dialect|Kansai dialect]]. For the North American version, this was changed to say "[[wikipedia:Kansai region|Kansai accent]]".

Starly appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a [[smashwiki:Spirit|spirit]]. She is an advanced-class primary neutral spirit using her artwork from ''The Legendary Starfy''. Starly's ability decreases the fighter's weight, and her spirit can be found in the light side of the [[smashwiki:The Final Battle (World of Light)|final battle]] in ''World of Light''.

*In ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', she does not forget how to use her exclusive abilities.
*She looks similar to the [[Pufftop Kids]] in terms of color.
**This is supported by the fact that her name in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3|Starfy 3]]'''s opening is {{alttext|テンカイコドモのおんなの子|Tenkai Kodomo no Onna no Ko}}, or literally "Female Pufftop Kid"
*In Starfy 3, after seeing [[Saint Nak]]'s red and white suit, Starly says that he looks just like Santa, implying that Santa may be a figure known to Pufftop denizens as a whole.

'''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.

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’s castle]], and in spite of Ogura’s attempts to get rid of him, by sending [[Trappas]] 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.

==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. 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.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
Starfy appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an Assist Trophy. His moves are the same of the previous games, he now can be defeated.

Additionally, Starfy appears as a spirit using his ''The Legendary Starfy'' artwork, he is a ace primary neutral spirit with three support slots, when equiped, decreases the fighter's weight. Starfy spirit only can be summoned by using cores of Moe, Old Man Lobber and Mermaid.

==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.

'''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’s castle]], and in spite of Ogura’s attempts to get rid of him, by sending [[Trappas]] 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.

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

====[[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.

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

====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.
*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.

Game Over

2023-11-28T17:30:12Z

Starfyfan9Trillion:

[[File:TLS Game Over.png|frame|right|The Game Over screen from ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'']]
''For the tune, see [[Game Over (music)]].''

'''Game Over''' (Japanese: {{alttext|ゲームオーバー|Referred to in English on the actual menu}}) is the menu that appears when [[Starfy]] or [[Starly]] lose all hearts or health points in [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. Most of the time, Starfy or Starly will pull off their 'death' ([[Done For]]) pose and fall through the bottom of the screen before this menu loads. The player can choose either to continue from the last save or return to the Title Screen. If the player loses in [[Big Bossdown]] a similar Game Over screen appears with the text "Ouch! Try again another time!" and the times that Starfy or Starly beat the bosses.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'', the Game Over screen shows a black background with Starfy pouting while Old Man Lobber has his back turned. If the player chooses to continue, the background turns into a Beach and Starfy and Old Man Lobber wave goodbye to each other as Starfy continues his quest, if the player chooses to quit the screen fades to black before going back to the title screen.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'', the Game Over screen shows Starfy spinning around dizzy at the bottom of the sea. Choosing to continue has him rise up to the surface to continue his adventure, but choosing to quit has the background fade to black, Starfy turns to face the player shocked, he cries then pulls his bed up and goes to sleep in it.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', the Game Over screen has a black background, and Starfy and Starly are sad while Moe looks disappointed. Continuing has Starfy and Starly dry their tears before they head back to continue their adventure but quitting has Starfy and Starly cry while Moe sighs.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', either Starfy or Starly falls down from the sky and into the ocean while the other tries to keep them from falling to the bottom of the sea. Which player character falls down on the Game Over screen first depends on which character lost all their health points. Continuing has both Starfy and Starly rise into the sky to try again, but quitting has them sink to the bottom of the sea.

There is a different [[Game Over]] screen for when the player is defeated by [[Mashtooth]] or {{MegaMashtooth}}. The screen is purple and Starfy is on it collapsed. An outline of Mashtooth can be seen and it is filled in red, with his eyes shown. Dark blue 'flames' can be seen. Unique to this Game Over screen, the player can choose to try again rather than continue from the last save by selecting that option (which is written in larger text). If the player continues either from the boss battle or the last save, Starfy on the Game Over screen will stand up showing a pose like he is determined to beat Mashtooth. If the player chooses to return to the title screen, Starfy shakes a little, goes 'fii' in a sad tone, and does not get up.

''For the tune, see [[Game Over (music)]].''

'''Game Over''' (Japanese: {{alttext|ゲームオーバー|Referred to in English on the actual menu}}) is the menu that appears when [[Starfy]] or [[Starly]] lose all hearts or health points in [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. Most of the time, Starfy or Starly will pull off their 'death' ([[Done For]]) pose and fall through the bottom of the screen before this menu loads. The player can choose either to continue from the last save or return to the Title Screen. If the player loses in [[Big Bossdown]] a similar Game Over screen appears with the text "Ouch! Try again another time!" and the times that Starfy or Starly beat the bosses.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'', the Game Over screen shows a black background with Starfy pouting while Old Man Lobber has his back turned. If the player chooses to continue, the background turns into a Beach and Starfy and Old Man Lobber wave goodbye to each other as Starfy continues his quest, if the player chooses to quit the screen fades to black before going back to the title screen.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'', the Game Over screen shows Starfy spinning around dizzy at the bottom of the sea. Choosing to continue has his rise up to the surface to continue his adventure, but choosing to quit has the background fade to black, Starfy turns to face the player shocked, he cries then pulls his bed up and goes to sleep in it.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', the Game Over screen has a black background, and Starfy and Starly are sad while Moe looks disappointed. Continuing has Starfy and Starly dry their tears before they head back to continue their adventure but quitting has Starfy and Starly cry while Moe sighs.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', either Starfy or Starly falls down from the sky and into the ocean while the other tries to keep them from falling to the bottom of the sea. Which player character falls down on the Game Over screen first depends on which character lost all their health points. Continuing has both Starfy and Starly rise into the sky to try again, but quitting has them sink to the bottom of the sea.

Low Spin

2023-11-26T20:10:03Z

Starfyfan9Trillion:

[[File:Low Spin.gif|frame|right|Starly performing the Low Spin in ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'']]
'''Low Spin''' (Japanese: ハイハイスピン, ''Crawl Spin'') is an ability that can only be used by [[Starly]]. It is mistranslated in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as High Hat Spin Jump. It is used by pressing the Y button while [[Crawl|crawling]], or the B button while crawling in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''. It is introduced in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', and reappears in ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''. When using it, Starly lifts her arms and spins very quickly on her stomach. The move can be used to move under low-hanging objects or dodge enemy attacks. If Starly tries to use it more than 3 times in succession quickly, she will become dizzy and be vulnerable to enemy attacks.

==Description from ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''==
"Use this move to spin while you're crawling."

'''Mama Star''' is [[Starfy]] and [[Starly]]'s mother. She makes an appearance in every one of the games in the [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'', she got kidnapped from [[Pufftop Palace]] by [[Ogura]]. In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', she is playable in [[Pufftop Dance Battle]]. Player 3 plays her.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', the colors of Starly's version of the [[Densetsu no Starfy 4/Stuff#Clothes|Pufftop Clothes]] are the same as Mama Star's clothes, but Starly's version has two yellow stars on their right-side not visible on Mama Star's clothes. Also, this version has two parts which include the main part of the clothes and and an 'undergarment' attached to the main part, which is roughly circular when viewed from above, which is similar to the bottom section of Mama Star's clothes.

[[File:MamaStar.png|thumb|left|200px|Artwork from ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'']]

==Before [[Densetsu no Starfy]]==
Long ago, Mama Star and Papa Star got married and some unknown time later, their children Starfy and Starly were born.

==In [[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]==
Mama Star is kidnapped by Ogura and he takes her to his castle, where he imprisons her to get revenge against Starfy. While Mama Star is being taken away she drops Treasure Chests to leave a trail for Starfy to follow so that he could find Ogura, defeat him and rescue her.
{{spoiler}}
Eventually Starfy was able to chase Ogura down to his castle. Starfy and Ogura fought with the fate of Mama Star at stake. If Starfy won, Ogura would be imprisoned in the Magic Jar again and Starfy would rescue and be reunited with Mama Star. If Ogura won, Starfy would die and Mama Star would forever be Ogura's Prisoner.

'''Akureima''' is a boss in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''. Akureima has the ability to transform into anyone he wants, including [[Ruby]], three [[Harisen-san]] and [[Moe]] (boss battle) but his disguise is not perfect, as [[Moe]] is able to see through his [[Ruby]] disguise. In the story, he steals the [[Cupid Bow and Arrow]] from [[Cupid Village]].

==In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''==

After leaving the [[Tree of Beginning]] via the [[Spring of Love]], we see Dejil lamenting that her identity has been exposed to Starfy and his friends. Not long after that, [[King Owlrun]] her second in command and most loyal minion appears and informs her that Starfy and company are heading towards [[Cupid Village]], upon learning this, she calls for Akureima. Degil tells him that his orders are to find the Cupid Bow and Arrow, and to kill Starfy, Starly and Moe. Akureima tells her that he shall not fail her, and Degil says that if he succeeds he will be greatly rewarded.

===3-2===

Akureima appears disguised as Ruby possibly in an attempt to lure Starfy and company into a deadly trap to kill them. It manages to confuse Starfy and Starly for a while, however Moe after a while of thinking it is Ruby notices that it is not Ruby at all but an imposter. Since his disguise failed, Akureima drops it and reveals that he has kidnapped Ruby and hid her somewhere. Angry and shocked at hearing this, Moe faints and Starfy has to find and rescue Ruby and bring her back safely to revive Moe as he won't recover unless he knows that she is safe.

==Battle strategy==
Akureima will hide in a machine and disguise himself as either Moe or Ruby. While doing so, a robotic arm will sweep across the stage to hurt [[Starfy]]. He can find out which is a fake copy of Moe or Ruby, and which is Akureima. Akureima can be identified if they grow blue eyes and squiggly eyebrows. Starfy must keep attacking Akureima to defeat him.

===Attacks===
Akureima himself does not attack, instead sending a robotic arm to damage Starfy. After taking damage, his machine will send out skulls for Starfy to either destroy or avoid.

'''Akureima''' is a boss in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''. Akureima has the ability to transform into anyone he wants, including [[Ruby]], three [[Harisen-san]] and [[Moe]] (boss battle) but his disguise is not perfect, as [[Moe]] is able to see through his [[Ruby]] disguise. In the story, he steals the [[Cupid Bow and Arrow]] from [[Cupid Village]].

==In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''==

After leaving the [[Tree of Beginning]] via the [[Spring of Love]], we see Dejil lamenting that her identity has been exposed to Starfy and his friends. Not long after that, [[King Owlrun]] her second in command and most loyal minion appears and informs her that Starfy and company are heading towards [[Cupid Village]], upon learning this, she calls for Akureima. Degil tells him that his orders are to find the Cupid Bow and Arrow, and to kill Starfy, Starly and Moe. Akureima tells her that he shall not fail her, and Degil says that if he succeeds he will be greatly rewarded.

===2-2===

Akureima appears disguised as Ruby possibly to lure Starfy and his friends into a trap. It manages to confuse Starfy and Starly for a while, however Moe after a while of thinking it is Ruby notices that it is not Ruby at all but an imposter. Since his disguise failed, Akureima drops it and reveals that he has kidnapped Ruby and hid her somewhere. Angry and shocked at hearing this, Moe faints and Starfy has to find and rescue Ruby and bring her back safely to revive Moe as he won't recover unless he knows that she is safe.

==Battle strategy==
Akureima will hide in a machine and disguise himself as either Moe or Ruby. While doing so, a robotic arm will sweep across the stage to hurt [[Starfy]]. He can find out which is a fake copy of Moe or Ruby, and which is Akureima. Akureima can be identified if they grow blue eyes and squiggly eyebrows. Starfy must keep attacking Akureima to defeat him.

===Attacks===
Akureima himself does not attack, instead sending a robotic arm to damage Starfy. After taking damage, his machine will send out skulls for Starfy to either destroy or avoid.

'''Starly''' (known as '''Stapy''' in Japan) is [[Starfy]]'s younger sister and a major character in [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. She made her first appearance in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', and is usually quite rude and always pushes [[Moe]] and Starfy to their limits to do something, although more responsible than Starfy. Only she can perform [[Crawl]]s, [[Wall Jump]]s, [[Low Spin]]s and the [[Pufftop Barrier]] [[Spill]] ability.

==History==
===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''===
After [[Ogura]] escapes [[Pufftop]], Starly interrupts Papa Star and Moe's conversation. Moe had never seen Starly before, so she introduced herself as Starfy's younger sister. Eventually she decides to join Starfy and Moe on their quest to find Ogura. She then pushes them both to the sea and jumps to join them.

{{spoiler}}
In [[Lobber's Cave]]'s [[Area]] 4, Starfy, and Moe meet Konk again while Starly meets him for the first time. Konk attacks Moe and Starly sending them flying away from Starfy and he has to find them. Starly finds herself alone and she tries to get back to Starfy and Moe, on her way back she meets Yggdra-jii who tells her that he saw Ogura flying towards the [[Coral Coast]]. Later Starly overhears Konk say that while he looks cool under a spotlight, it makes him too hot to wear his protective helmet. Getting an idea Starly keeps it over him despite Konk's attempts to move out of it making him lose the helmet and Starly getting it. Unfortunately, Konk notices her and he corners her. But just as Konk is about to hurt Starly unless she gives him back his helmet, Starfy and Moe appear scaring Konk into the boss room and rescuing Starly. Konk fights Starfy again, but he loses again because without his helmet, he is vulnerable to Starfy's star spins again.
{{endspoiler}}

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''===
After [[Mattel]] tells Starfy and friends about the trouble at the [[Amiy Kingdom]], Starly talks about [[Ruby]] to Moe. She was most likely trying convince him to help her and Starfy save the Amiy Kingdom to impress Ruby. Later, all three of them return to the sea.

===''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''===
In ''The Legendary Starfy'', players can join one another, one of them playing as Starly. Starly has special moves players playing as Starfy cannot learn or use, such as jumping off of walls. She appears smaller (in-game) than Starfy, and is always seen wearing her pink bow. To access playing as Starly, Moe will ask Starfy if he wants Starly to join them. Players can also choose to "be" Starly via the select button to change the character shown in the [[Stuff]] menu, though this will not change the actual character in game.

Starly is featured in a [[minigames|mini-game]] called "[[Dumpling Master]]". She and the player make dumplings to give to Starfy, who then feeds them to Moe. She also makes two small appearances in other mini-games. One is after the results are shown for "Coin Slinger". She can also be seen in the audience of stars. Another is in [[Fishing Derby]]. She puts bait in the water and Moe comes. Starly will be the only pink one wearing her signature bow.

After defeating the final boss, a new world will open up. It is [[Pufftop]], and the player character is Starly in this world.

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
Starly appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as both a collectable [[smashwiki:trophy|trophy]] and [[smashwiki:sticker|sticker]] (then referred to by the official romanization of her Japanese name, as "Stapy") using her artwork from ''Densetsu no Stafy 3'' with the ability of increasing a fighter's indirect attacks by 4. According to the Japanese version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', she speaks using the [[wikipedia:Kansai dialect|Kansai dialect]]. For the North American version, this was changed to say "[[wikipedia:Kansai region|Kansai accent]]".

Starly appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a [[smashwiki:Spirit|spirit]]. She is an advanced-class primary neutral spirit using her artwork from ''The Legendary Starfy''. Starly's ability decreases the fighter's weight, and her spirit can be found in the light side of the [[smashwiki:The Final Battle (World of Light)|final battle]] in ''World of Light''. Her spirit battle is on the battlefield form of the [[smashwiki:Tortimer Island|Tortimer Island]] stage against a red bow [[smashwiki:Jigglypuff (SSBU)|Jigglypuff]] with temporary invincibility.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'' and ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', Starly's bow is always on her left side, but in ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', it flips when she turns.
*Starly shares the same English name as [[bulbapedia:Starly (Pokémon)|a Pokémon]].
*She has never had her exclusive abilities taught to her by the same character twice.
*In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', Starfy can wear [[Densetsu no Starfy 4/Stuff#Accessories|her bow]] in the [[Stuff]].
*In ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', she does not forget how to use her exclusive abilities.
*She looks similar to the [[Pufftop Kids]] in terms of color.
**This is supported by the fact that her name in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3|Starfy 3]]'''s opening is {{alttext|テンカイコドモのおんなの子|Tenkai Kodomo no Onna no Ko}}, or literally "Female Pufftop Kid"
*In Starfy 3, after seeing [[Saint Nak]]'s red and white suit, Starly says that he looks just like Santa, implying that Santa may be a figure known to Pufftop denizens as a whole.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', the colors of Starly's version of the [[Densetsu no Starfy 4/Stuff#Clothes|Pufftop Clothes]] are the same as Mama Star's clothes, but Starly's version has two yellow stars on their right-side not visible on Mama Star's clothes. Also, this version has two parts which include the main part of the clothes and and an 'undergarment' attached to the main part, which is roughly circular when viewed from above, which is similar to the bottom section of Mama Star's clothes.

''King redirects here. For other uses, see [[King (disambiguation)]].''

'''Papa Star''', referred to in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' as simply the '''King''' is the father of [[Starfy]] and [[Starly]] and the ruler of [[Pufftop Palace|Pufftop]]. In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'' and ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'' it is revealed that he and [[Old Man Lobber]] once defeated [[Ogura]].

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', Starfy's version of the [[Densetsu no Starfy 4/Stuff#Clothes|Pufftop Clothes]] resembles Papa Star's clothes, but with a small white section where the gold buttons are instead of a blue section.

[[File:PapaStar.png|thumb|left|200px|Artwork from ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'']]
{{clrl}}

==Before ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''==
Long ago Ogura caused havoc in the sea and attempted to conquer Pufftop, Papa Star along with Lobber fought against Ogura and defeated him sealing him in the Magic Jar, sometime later Papa Star married Mama Star and an unknown time later, their children Starfy and Starly were born. For years after the Ogura Incident, Pufftop had known peace, but alas it was not meant to last. One day the young prince Starfy would accidentally drop the Magic Jar that contained Ogura.

==''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''==
In this game, he does not appear during the story, but he does make a cameo in some of Pufftop's levels. In the castle's inside levels, There are some silver statues of [[Ronk]], [[Papes]], [[Snips]], or all three. If Starly [[Star Spin|attacks]] some of these statues, she will get some [[Pearl]]s and the statues will transform into a golden Papa Star statue.

In [[Notes|Note]] 12 ([[Notes|Old Man Lobber's Diary - "Stronger..."]]), [[Old Man Lobber]] thinks that Starfy may take over {{alttext|Papa Star's|his name is not mentioned directly}} role as the king of Pufftop someday. Also according to Note 13 (Pufftop Times Clipping - "The Squirts Lift Off!"), Papa Star announced a show featuring [[The Squirts]].

==Trivia==
*Papa Star, like many old men in the series, uses the pronoun [[Japanese_First_Person_Pronouns#Washi_(儂/わし/ワシ)|Washi]] in Japanese.
*Especially in Starfy 3 and 4, Papa Star tends to get overshadowed by Mama Star, like when she explained everything about [[Old Castle]] when he wanted to, or when she let their kids go to the [[Amiy Kingdom]], even though he said it was extremely dangerous to do so.
*In Papa Star's younger years, he was significantly more muscular, as shown in his [[Statue Fragment|statue]] in Starfy 2, and wore a cape according to the Ogura cutscene in [[Misty Town]] (as opposed to the robes that he wears nowadays).
*Papa Star only has [[Picture Book]] entries in Starfy 3 [[Densetsu_no_Starfy_3/Trading_Cards#Old_Castle|(Entry 200)]] and Starfy 4 [[Densetsu_no_Starfy_4/Picture_Book#Friends|(Entry 140)]].

'''Akureima''' is a boss in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''. Akureima has the ability to transform into anyone he wants, including [[Ruby]], three [[Harisen-san]] and [[Moe]] (boss battle) but his disguise is not perfect, as [[Moe]] is able to see through his [[Ruby]] disguise. In the story, he steals the [[Cupid Bow and Arrow]] from [[Cupid Village]].

==In [[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]==

After leaving the [[Tree of Beginning]] via the [[Spring of Love]], we see Dejil lamenting that her identity has been exposed to Starfy and his friends. Not long after that, [[King Owlrun]] her second in command and most loyal minion appears and informs her that Starfy and company are heading towards [[Cupid Village]], upon learning this, she calls for Akureima. Degil tells him that his orders are to find the Cupid Bow and Arrow, and to kill Starfy, Starly and Moe. Akureima tells her that he shall not fail her, and Degil says that if he succeeds he will be greatly rewarded.

==Battle strategy==
Akureima will hide in a machine and disguise himself as either Moe or Ruby. While doing so, a robotic arm will sweep across the stage to hurt [[Starfy]]. He can find out which is a fake copy of Moe or Ruby, and which is Akureima. Akureima can be identified if they grow blue eyes and squiggly eyebrows.

'''Akureima''' is a boss in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''. Akureima has the ability to transform into anyone he wants, including [[Ruby]], three [[Harisen-san]] and [[Moe]] (boss battle) but his disguise is not perfect, as [[Moe]] is able to see through his [[Ruby]] disguise. In the story, he steals the [[Cupid Bow and Arrow]] from [[Cupid Village]].

==In [[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]==

After leaving the [[Tree of Beginning]] via the [[Spring of Love]], we see Dejil lamenting that her identity has been exposed to Starfy and his friends. Not long after that, [[King Owlrun]] her second in command and most loyal minion informs her that Starfy and company are heading towards [[Cupid Village]], upon learning this, she calls for Akureima. Degil tells him that his orders are to find the Cupid Bow and Arrow, and to kill Starfy, Starly and Moe. Akureima tells her that he shall not fail her, and Degil says that if he succeeds he will be greatly rewarded.

==Battle strategy==
Akureima will hide in a machine and disguise himself as either Moe or Ruby. While doing so, a robotic arm will sweep across the stage to hurt [[Starfy]]. He can find out which is a fake copy of Moe or Ruby, and which is Akureima. Akureima can be identified if they grow blue eyes and squiggly eyebrows. Starfy must keep attacking Akureima to defeat him.

Akureima himself does not attack, instead sending a robotic arm to damage Starfy. After taking damage, his machine will send out skulls for Starfy to either destroy or avoid.

The '''Pufftop Children''' are very young pink star-shaped children who live in [[Pufftop]]. They are even smaller than [[Starfy]] and [[Starly]]. They usually get captured or lost so Starfy and friends have to save them often. They have only appeared in the [[Game Boy Advance]] games.

==Biography==
===''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''===
The Pufftop Children first appear in [[Pufftop]], where they play with [[Moe]]'s face but start to annoy him.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''===
The Pufftop Children appear in Pufftop, level 5 where [[The Squirts#Bawss|Bawss]] explains that they were locked up by 'bad guys', and suggests that a [[Prison Key (Silver)|Prison Key]] can unlock the door. Bawss gives Starfy the [[Thunder Pants]], which Starfy must give to {{Squirt|1}}. Starfy receives the Prison Key from {{Squirt|4}} after giving him the [[Makeup Set]], which was obtained by exchanging items with the three other Squirts. Starfy then uses the Prison Key to free the Pufftop Children from their cell.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''===
====Stage 10-2====
In ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'', [[Starfy]] and [[Starly]] are informed that several of the Pufftop Children were imprisoned in [[Old Castle]]. The first four were imprisoned in two cages, so Starfy and Starly split up and take different paths to find both keys, Starfy takes the left-most path, whereas Starly takes the right-most path. They proceed only to find that another four more of the Pufftop Children were imprisoned, so they split again to rescue the other Pufftop Children, who are glad of Starfy, Starly and [[Moe]]'s help. Outside another three Pufftop Children are seen on the floor, though a [[Jueri]] rescues them by lifting them back into the air. They reward Starfy and Starly with treasure.

It is unknown if they are also the children of Papa and Mama Star and therefore Starfy and Starly’s younger siblings or they are just young kids of pufftop that are unrelated to the Royal Family of Pufftop.

|chinese = 美人鱼, ''Měirényú''
|species=Mermaid
|affiliates=[[Starfy]], [[Starly]], [[Moe]]

|fanname = Mermaid
}}

''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 ''[[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]].

'''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 ==
===''[[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".

{{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 cultery 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 and Starly has to rescue him again by attacking the Treasure chest enemy that has Stafy 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.

==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.

[[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.

====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.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
Starfy appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an Assist Trophy. His moves are the same of the previous games, he now can be defeated.

Additionally, Starfy appears as a spirit using his ''The Legendary Starfy'' artwork, he is a ace primary neutral spirit with three support slots, when equiped, decreases the fighter's weight. Starfy spirit only can be summoned by using cores of Moe, Old Man Lobber and Mermaid.

==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.

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

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

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

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''===
Konk returns, but this time in the fourth stage of [[Lobber's Cave]]. He shows up to the shock of [[Starfy]] and [[Moe]], with [[Puchi Ogura #1]] alongside him. Recognizing Moe, Konk insults him, saying things like he's lame, Ruby rejected him, and that he'll steal Ruby again if they can't open a locked door that requires 3 keys (the Circle/Triangle/Square Keys). Konk's boss fight is just like the boss fight in [[Densetsu no Stafy| Starfy 1]], initially moving left and right along the ground, but starting to jump to the surface (and out of) the water to attack. Unlike later fights in the game, Puchi Ogura #1 doesn't seem do anything, nor do they appear before Konk is defeated.

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

Just after, Konk corners her and he threatens to hurt her unless she gives him his helmet back. Starfy and Moe come just in the nick of time. Konk retreats, but Starfy follows him and ends up beating him again, since without his helmet Konk is vulnerable to Starfy’s star spins again.

===''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''===
Konk appears once again, but this time with a different shell and darker eye lids. He claims to have been powered up by “The Queen” (later confirmed to be [[Degil]]), and can now perform a cloning technique (ひっさつ『ぶんしんのじゅつ』/ “Special Move: Clone Jutsu”). [[Amiiyoshino]] later tells Starfy, Starly, and Moe that by using the [[Mon Amour Stone]], Dejeel can power up whomever she sees fit. During the events in [[Lobber's Villa]], he steals a rose required to enter the [[Spring of Love]], but Starfy manages to beat him again for the fourth time.

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

= Toy Description =

* EN Description:
1) Not only does he jump, but he also attacks using his precious KONK! shell.

2) This guy KONK! has a strange KONK! speech pattern KONK! Oh no, it’s KONKtagious!

* JP Translation:
1) He jumps and attacks with that shell he’s so proud of. He’s the same as ever.

2) Looks like he was waiting for us in Pufftop, but we never actually met him.

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

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

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

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

In ''Densetsu no Starfy'', if the player battles Konk again after defeating [[Ogura]], Konk will jump more regularly after receveing damage and will gain a new attack where he jumps off screen and then plummets down to attempt to crush Starfy.

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

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

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

==Trivia==
[[File:Bonebone.png|thumb|right|200px|The unused model named "Bonebone" in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'' and the Japanese version of ''[[Super Princess Peach]]]]
*Konk is one of the few characters that have appeared in every ''The Legendary Starfy'' series game so far.
*Konk is the only boss that appeared in every game.
*Konk, along with [[Ogura]] and [[Bankirosu]], are the only bosses that appear in more than one game.
*If one looks closely at Ogura, it can be noticed that they bear a resemblance without the shell and with fiery hair.
*In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'', {{PuchiOgura|1}} rides on his head, but does not seem to help him in his battle with Starfy in any way like most of the Puchi Ogura.
*Konk is not the only [[characters|character]] with an odd speech pattern.
*In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'' and the Japanese version of ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', there is an unused 3D model of Konk named "Bonebone". The texture file is lacking Konk's [[Konk#Densetsu no Starfy 4|upgraded shell]] from the ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'' boss battle.
**This model appears in an unused panorama named '[[Densetsu no Starfy 4/Unused content/Unused models#Seascape|stage02]]'.
*In every game after the first, Konk makes use of “something new” in his fights. In Starfy 2, he “fights alongside” Puchi Ogura #1, in Starfy 3, he learns a new skill literally translated as the “Super Rotation Spin” (チョーかいてんスピン), in Starfy 4, Dejeel’s power up allowed him to clone himself, and in Starfy 5, he makes use of a net to attempt to attack Starly.

Konk will spin rather fast. [[Starfy]] or Starly will have to attack him from above.

In ''Densetsu no Starfy'', if the player battles Konk again after defeating [[Ogura]], Konk will jump more regularly after receveing damage and will gain a new attack where he jumps off screen and then plummets down to attempt to crush Starfy.

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

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

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

==Trivia==
[[File:Bonebone.png|thumb|right|200px|The unused model named "Bonebone" in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'' and the Japanese version of ''[[Super Princess Peach]]]]
*Konk is one of the few characters that have appeared in every ''The Legendary Starfy'' series game so far.
*Konk is the only boss that appeared in every game.
*Konk, along with [[Ogura]] and [[Bankirosu]], are the only bosses that appear in more than one game.
*If one looks closely at Ogura, it can be noticed that they bear a resemblance without the shell and with fiery hair.
*In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'', {{PuchiOgura|1}} rides on his head, but does not seem to help him in his battle with Starfy in any way like most of the Puchi Ogura.
*Konk is not the only [[characters|character]] with an odd speech pattern.
*In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'' and the Japanese version of ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', there is an unused 3D model of Konk named "Bonebone". The texture file is lacking Konk's [[Konk#Densetsu no Starfy 4|upgraded shell]] from the ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'' boss battle.
**This model appears in an unused panorama named '[[Densetsu no Starfy 4/Unused content/Unused models#Seascape|stage02]]'.
*In every game after the first, Konk makes use of “something new” in his fights. In Starfy 2, he “fights alongside” Puchi Ogura #1, in Starfy 3, he learns a new skill literally translated as the “Super Rotation Spin” (チョーかいてんスピン), in Starfy 4, Dejeel’s power up allowed him to clone himself, and in Starfy 5, he makes use of a net to attempt to attack Starly.

'''Moe''' ('''Kyorosuke''' in Japan) is a character who is a clam and is also [[Starfy]]'s best friend. He is sometimes depicted as being rude, but has good intentions at heart. He lives in the [[Pufftop Palace]] with Starfy and [[Starly]], and shares their palace. He sometimes speaks with slang words and phrases, like "yowza", and "I'm Just Ribbin' Ya, Starf!" too.

In Japanese versions, like his father [[Kyorozou]]; Moe uses the slang term "ome" (Japanese: オメェ) to refer to others.

It is reported that he is voiced by [[wikipedia:Kappei Yamaguchi|Kappei Yamaguchi]] in Japanese commercials but it is unclear whether Yamaguchi also voiced Moe in the Japanese version of ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''.

== History ==
===Background===
[[File:Family 5.PNG|thumb|left|130px|Moe and his family's tragic past.]]
During his youth Moe's parents fell out with each other and [[Moe's mother]] was forced out of her home. She moved out with her children into a smaller, less accommodating home. Soon after, she became ill and presumably died. Moe has been taking care of his [[Moe's siblings|three siblings]] ever since the loss of his mother. Later in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', Moe met up with his father, [[Kyorozou]] on various occasions. Tragically, in [[Old Castle]]'s [[Area]] 3, Kyorozou sacrificed his life for Moe when Moe was hit by a lightning attack by Evil, after Kyorozou went in Moe's place and pushed him away to try and endure the attack.

===''Densetsu no Starfy''===
[[File:StarfyMeetsMoe.jpg|thumb|140px|left|Starfy meets Moe and [[Fork]] for the first time.]]
[[File:MoeStafy1Ending.png|thumb|230px|Moe and his [[Moe's Family|siblings]] celebrating at the end of the game.]]
Starfy first meets Moe in [[Coral Reef]]. Before meeting Moe, [[Herman]] reveals that his friend Moe is being chased by bad guys, so Herman wants Starfy to help him. Either [[Fork]] or [[Fork's brother|his brother]] is seen swimming away, so Starfy follows him until he gets to a room where Fork is picking on Moe with his brother. After Starfy defeats them, Moe reveals that "his dearest" [[Ruby]] was kidnapped by a bad guy known as [[Konk]]. It was then Fork and his brother chased after him. Starfy and Moe later become good friends, and Moe joins Starfy on his quest back to Pufftop, offering advice. After destroying the [[Dentalium Shell]] and the [[Kettle]] that were blocking the water in Coral Reef 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]] and Moe continues to tag along with Starfy and offer him advice until the end of their journey, after which Moe stays with Starfy in [[Pufftop|Pufftop Palace]].

In the second staff credits, it is revealed that Moe lives in a rundown house with his three [[Moe's Family|siblings]], and they are all crying because they wanted some meat, a teddy bear, and a [[Game Boy Advance]]. However, Moe couldn't get them those things since they didn't had the money, and what he said caused them to cry again. Moe then tried to figure out where he can get some money, but before he thought of something he saw [[Ruby]] and followed her instead which led to meeting and becoming great friends with Starfy. Later after Starfy defeated Ogura once and for all with Moe sealing Ogura back inside the [[jar]], Moe was rewarded with [[treasure]] for helping Starfy. Then, Moe uses the treasure to get the things his siblings wanted. The siblings then grabbed the things they wanted and all the four clams dance at the end of the second staff credits.
{{clr}}

===''Densetsu no Starfy 2''===
At the beginning of the game, when the [[Puchi Ogura]] cause a storm to hit Pufftop Palace like the one in ''Densetsu no Starfy'', Starfy hides in Moe's shell for safety from the storm and the debris but when Ogura kidnaps [[Mama Star]], Starfy has no choice but to run after them.

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.

As in ''Densetsu no Starfy'', Moe tags along with Starfy throughout his adventure, offering him advice and interacting with other [[characters]]. After beating [[Area]] 5 of [[Turtle Turtle Land]], Moe's House appears on the [[Map (Areas)|Map]] and can then be accessed from the Map of any [[Stage]] or the [[Stage Select]] screen via the R button.

===''Densetsu no Starfy 3''===
At the beginning of the game, after [[Evil]] destroys the [[jar]], [[Ogura]] flees and says he won't be defeated as long as he has his 'personage' by his side. Moe wonders what Ogura means by his personage and he and [[Papa Star]] discuss the situation. Papa Star decides that 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]] appears. She jumps around Pufftop Palace and bounces off Moe. She asks why Starfy and others are "wasting time", which angers Moe. 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.

Like in ''Densetsu no Starfy'' and ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'', Moe tags along with Starfy (and this time Starly), offers them advice and interacts with other characters. After beating [[Coral Coast]]'s Area 3, Moe's House becomes available from any Area Select or the Stage Select via the R button.

On various occasions, beginning in the [[Jungle]], Moe reunites with his father [[Kyorozou]]. Tragically, in [[Old Castle]]'s [[Area]] 3, Kyorozou sacrificed his life for Moe when Moe was hit by a lightning attack by Evil, after Kyorozou went in Moe's place and pushed him away to try and endure the attack.

{{spoiler}}
In [[Old Castle]]’s [[Area]] 3, Evil trapped Starfy and Starly in an electric ring and he trapped Moe in an electric cage and threatens to kill Moe. Evil will only let Moe live if he lies and tells Starfy and Starly to swim int the ring which would kill them. Moe refuses and he tells them to not touch the ring thus saving their lives. Angry that Moe said the opposite of what Evil wanted him to say, Evil then tries to electrocute Moe to death but Kyorozou pushes him away sacrificing himself to save Moe’s life.

{{endspoiler}}

===''Densetsu no Starfy 4''===
At the beginning of the game, Moe is hesitant as usual to go on another adventure after [[Mattel]] informs Starfy, Moe and their associates of the [[Amiy Kingdom]]'s crisis but when Starly starts to talk about Ruby, Moe reconsiders and is excited to see her in the Amiy Kingdom. Moe says they should go and hear what the [[Old Man Lobber]] has to say first. As before, Starfy, Starly and Moe jump off Pufftop Palace into the ocean but this time they meet Old Man Lobber in [[Lobber's Villa|his villa]] in the Amiy Kingdom, although they land straight into his bonsai tree, ruining it, so they have to find a [[Repair Kit]] to fix it first.

Moe still tags along with Starfy and Starly, however, most of the time they have to speak to him via a [[Public Telephone]] and all of the Public Telephones with the exception of two in the final Area only appear before beating the game.

Moe's House returns in ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'', and can be accessed in [[Cupid Village]] after exposing [[Akureima]]'s disguise of Ruby and then rescuing the real Ruby. It can then be accessed from any [[Map (Areas)#Densetsu no Starfy 4|City]] or from the Stage Select either by touching its icon or via the R button.
{{spoiler}}
In [[Degil's Castle]], Starfy must extinguish the [[Heart of Conflict|Hearts of Conflict]] for [[Arasoinomon]]. Mattel teaches Starfy the [[Powerful Spin]] [[Spill]] [[Abilities|ability]]; an ability that can do this, and comments that Starfy is the first to learn it because he and Moe are great friends, but Moe ran away after falling into conflict with Starfy, so Starfy has to retrieve him.

After beating Degil for the first time, after Starfy sees Mattel hugging [[Coral|Prince Coral]] and finds out that Mattel is his fiancee, he becomes depressed and stays in his room sad and lonely in Pufftop Palace, so Moe tries to cheer him up but fails. When Starfy, Starly and Moe obtain all 36 [[Answers Card]]s and truly defeats Degil, Starfy, Starly and Moe stand on a hill watching over the [[Amiy Castle]]. He and the others attend Coral and Mattel's wedding afterwards and Mattel thanks everyone, in particular Starfy for his help in saving the Amiy Kingdom.

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' ===
Moe (as "Kyorosuke") appears as one of the collectable [[smashwiki:sticker|sticker]]s in the Nintendo fighting game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' for the [[Wii]]. His sticker boost the magic attacks of [[smashwiki:Peach (SSBB)|Peach]] and [[smashwiki:Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda]] by 8.

===''The Legendary Starfy''===
At the beginning of the game, Moe states that Bunston jumped into the ocean. At the end when Starfy is about to fight [[Mashtooth#Second Form - Mega Mashtooth|Mega Mashtooth]], Starfy had gotten hurt, so Moe encouraged him saying: "Go for it Starf, Get up! No time for a nap! SOCK HIM FOR ME!" and at this, Starfy goes to the final battle.
{{stub}}

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' ===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Moe appears as a [[smashwiki:spirit|spirit]], he is a novice primary shield spirit with one support slot, his battle is on the [[smashwiki:Tortimer Island|Tortimer Island]] stage against [[smashwiki:Pac-Man (SSBU)|Pac-Man]] who his shield has extra durability and often uses the said move.

==Personality==
[[File:Treasure-Eyed_Moe.jpg|thumb|160px|left|Moe's "Glittering Eyes"]]

Treasure hunting is a hobby of Moe's. In ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', instead of helping [[Starfy]] chase the kidnapped [[Bunston]], he focuses on finding treasure. When Starfy is around treasure, Moe's eyes will glitter with pictures of the nearby find if the player has [[Moe's Sniffer]] turned on. This feature can be selected by tapping the small Moe at the bottom of the screen.

Moe also loves to eat fine foods. He apparently likes dumplings, as in ''The Legendary Starfy'', there is a mini-game game called [[Dumpling Master]], where Starly and Starfy create dumplings for Moe to eat. The player and Starly create the dumplings, and Starly gives them to Starfy to pass on to Moe. If Moe does not receive a decent amount, he will become furious and his top shell will bounce up and down. Moe will, at the end of the mini-game, tell the player how many dumplings they made. The official [[wikipedia:United States|United States]] website for ''The Legendary Starfy'' says he enjoys urchin nachos. This is confirmed in-game when Moe tells Bunston that one of his and Starfy's specialties are urchin nachos.

In ''The Legendary Starfy'', Moe has his own talk show, which he calls "''[[The Moe Show]]''". Random guests will appear, and the character and Moe will have a small conversation. Sometimes, Starfy will appear on the show; other times, supporting characters and even bosses, such as [[The Hot Spring Snapper|the Hot Spring Snapper]] from [[Hotcha Springs]] appear.

Moe also has a crush on another Starfy character, [[Ruby]]; a [[wikipedia:dendrochirus zebra|zebra turkeyfish]]. Whenever Moe is around Ruby, he becomes quiet, calm, and nicer than usual. It should be noted that in ''The Legendary Starfy'' (in one of the earlier levels) that Moe's [[Moe's Family|three younger siblings]] tells Starfy that Moe has a crush on someone. Later, they tell Starfy that the someone is, in fact, Ruby. Moe is also openly flirtatious towards [[Savako]] in ways that may be considered rude.

In the Japanese games, he refers to himself as 'ore-sama' (Japanese: オレさま), which may be seen as being arrogant, but Moe is good at heart, giving Starfy the support he needs to fulfill his quest. In ''Densetsu no Starfy'' he took Pufftop Palace's treasure, but he later used it to buy meat, a teddy bear, and a [[Game Boy Advance]] for his siblings.

Moe has had a number of fears in the games. In ''Densetsu no Starfy'', he was afraid of [[Dolfy]], a dolphin. In ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'', he was afraid of [[Mantahan]], a manta.

In ''The Legendary Starfy'', he showed signs of being afraid of [[Mega Snark]]. In the [[Side Quest]] "[[Side Quests#No. 5: A Little Lost|A Little Lost]]" he was afraid of {{Squirt|5}}'s voice, who he mistook for a bird monster.

==Abilities==
Being a clam, Moe's shell gives him protection. Despite this, he still complains about heat and cold. Despite having no legs he can still move easily. Also he can leap into the air.

Moe can also dig into the ground and pop out of the ground quickly. He usually only does this to hide.

Moe can also survive great falls as in most of the games he along with Starfy usually plummet out of [[Pufftop]] into the ocean (with the exception of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' where Starfy first met him only after starting his journey).

Moe apparently has enough room in his shell to hold Starfy or Bunston while closing it but somehow they make impressions from the inside.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', Starfy can use an ability to team up with something that looks like Moe to perform the [[Spill]] [[Abilities|ability]] [[Powerful Spin]], during which Starfy grabs him from the back and spins while holding him. They move very quickly and start suffering from [[dizziness]] after the ability is finished. The real Moe likely is not involved since Starfy can use this ability when Moe runs away in [[Degil's Castle]].

Beside the Powerful Spin, Moe has no physical attacks. He usually simply stands on the sidelines of Starfy and [[Starly]]'s adventures and offers them advice. In ''The Legendary Starfy'', he looks for treasure and helps Starfy find it via Moe's Sniffer.

==Trivia==
*Before the official release of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'', Moe was referred to as キョロロン (''Kyororon'') in the [[Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)|Game Boy Color trial demo]] rather than キョロスケ (''Kyorosuke''). The name Kyororon may give cuter connotations than Kyorosuke in Japanese, so it may have been changed to better fit Moe (with his rude way of speaking).

As in ''Densetsu no Starfy'' and ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'', this time accompanied with both Starly and Moe, Starfy arrives at Lobber's Cave.

Like in ''Densetsu no Starfy'' and ''Densetsu no Starfy 2'', Moe tags along with Starfy (and this time Starly), offers them advice and interacts with other characters. After beating [[Coral Coast]]'s Area 3, Moe's House becomes available from any Area Select or the Stage Select via the R button.

On various occasions, beginning in the [[Jungle]], Moe reunites with his father [[Kyorozou]].

As before, Starfy, Starly and Moe jump off Pufftop Palace into the ocean but this time they meet Old Man Lobber in [[Lobber's Villa|his villa]] in the Amiy Kingdom, although they land straight into his bonsai tree, ruining it, so they have to find a [[Repair Kit]] to fix it first.

Moe still tags along with Starfy and Starly, however, most of the time they have to speak to him via a [[Public Telephone]] and all of the Public Telephones with the exception of two in the final Area only appear before beating the game.

Moe's House returns in ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'', and can be accessed in [[Cupid Village]] after exposing [[Akureima]]'s disguise of Ruby and then rescuing the real Ruby. It can then be accessed from any [[Map (Areas)#Densetsu no Starfy 4|City]] or from the Stage Select either by touching its icon or via the R button.
{{spoiler}}
In [[Degil's Castle]], Starfy must extinguish the [[Heart of Conflict|Hearts of Conflict]] for [[Arasoinomon]]. Mattel teaches Starfy the [[Powerful Spin]] [[Spill]] [[Abilities|ability]]; an ability that can do this, and comments that Starfy is the first to learn it because he and Moe are great friends, but Moe ran away after falling into conflict with Starfy, so Starfy has to retrieve him.

After beating Degil for the first time, after Starfy sees Mattel hugging [[Coral|Prince Coral]] and finds out that Mattel is his fiancee, he becomes depressed and stays in his room sad and lonely in Pufftop Palace, so Moe tries to cheer him up but fails. When Starfy, Starly and Moe obtain all 36 [[Answers Card]]s and truly defeats Degil, Starfy, Starly and Moe stand on a hill watching over the [[Amiy Castle]]. He and the others attend Coral and Mattel's wedding afterwards and Mattel thanks everyone, in particular Starfy for his help in saving the Amiy Kingdom.

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' ===
Moe (as "Kyorosuke") appears as one of the collectable [[smashwiki:sticker|sticker]]s in the Nintendo fighting game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' for the [[Wii]]. His sticker boost the magic attacks of [[smashwiki:Peach (SSBB)|Peach]] and [[smashwiki:Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda]] by 8.

===''The Legendary Starfy''===
At the beginning of the game, Moe states that Bunston jumped into the ocean. At the end when Starfy is about to fight [[Mashtooth#Second Form - Mega Mashtooth|Mega Mashtooth]], Starfy had gotten hurt, so Moe encouraged him saying: "Go for it Starf, Get up! No time for a nap! SOCK HIM FOR ME!" and at this, Starfy goes to the final battle.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' ===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Moe appears as a [[smashwiki:spirit|spirit]], he is a novice primary shield spirit with one support slot, his battle is on the [[smashwiki:Tortimer Island|Tortimer Island]] stage against [[smashwiki:Pac-Man (SSBU)|Pac-Man]] who his shield has extra durability and often uses the said move.

==Personality==
[[File:Treasure-Eyed_Moe.jpg|thumb|160px|left|Moe's "Glittering Eyes"]]

Treasure hunting is a hobby of Moe's. In ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]'', instead of helping [[Starfy]] chase the kidnapped [[Bunston]], he focuses on finding treasure. When Starfy is around treasure, Moe's eyes will glitter with pictures of the nearby find if the player has [[Moe's Sniffer]] turned on. This feature can be selected by tapping the small Moe at the bottom of the screen.

Moe also loves to eat fine foods. He apparently likes dumplings, as in ''The Legendary Starfy'', there is a mini-game game called [[Dumpling Master]], where Starly and Starfy create dumplings for Moe to eat. The player and Starly create the dumplings, and Starly gives them to Starfy to pass on to Moe. If Moe does not receive a decent amount, he will become furious and his top shell will bounce up and down. Moe will, at the end of the mini-game, tell the player how many dumplings they made. The official [[wikipedia:United States|United States]] website for ''The Legendary Starfy'' says he enjoys urchin nachos. This is confirmed in-game when Moe tells Bunston that one of his and Starfy's specialties are urchin nachos.

In ''The Legendary Starfy'', Moe has his own talk show, which he calls "''[[The Moe Show]]''". Random guests will appear, and the character and Moe will have a small conversation. Sometimes, Starfy will appear on the show; other times, supporting characters and even bosses, such as [[The Hot Spring Snapper|the Hot Spring Snapper]] from [[Hotcha Springs]] appear.

Moe also has a crush on another Starfy character, [[Ruby]]; a [[wikipedia:dendrochirus zebra|zebra turkeyfish]]. Whenever Moe is around Ruby, he becomes quiet, calm, and nicer than usual. It should be noted that in ''The Legendary Starfy'' (in one of the earlier levels) that Moe's [[Moe's Family|three younger siblings]] tells Starfy that Moe has a crush on someone. Later, they tell Starfy that the someone is, in fact, Ruby. Moe is also openly flirtatious towards [[Savako]] in ways that may be considered rude.

In the Japanese games, he refers to himself as 'ore-sama' (Japanese: オレさま), which may be seen as being arrogant, but Moe is good at heart, giving Starfy the support he needs to fulfill his quest. In ''Densetsu no Starfy'' he took Pufftop Palace's treasure, but he later used it to buy meat, a teddy bear, and a [[Game Boy Advance]] for his siblings.

Moe has had a number of fears in the games. In ''Densetsu no Starfy'', he was afraid of [[Dolfy]], a dolphin. In ''Densetsu no Starfy 3'', he was afraid of [[Mantahan]], a manta.

In ''The Legendary Starfy'', he showed signs of being afraid of [[Mega Snark]]. In the [[Side Quest]] "[[Side Quests#No. 5: A Little Lost|A Little Lost]]" he was afraid of {{Squirt|5}}'s voice, who he mistook for a bird monster.

==Abilities==
Being a clam, Moe's shell gives him protection. Despite this, he still complains about heat and cold. Despite having no legs he can still move easily. Also he can leap into the air.

Moe can also dig into the ground and pop out of the ground quickly. He usually only does this to hide.

Moe can also survive great falls as in most of the games he along with Starfy usually plummet out of [[Pufftop]] into the ocean (with the exception of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' where Starfy first met him only after starting his journey).

Moe apparently has enough room in his shell to hold Starfy or Bunston while closing it but somehow they make impressions from the inside.

In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', Starfy can use an ability to team up with something that looks like Moe to perform the [[Spill]] [[Abilities|ability]] [[Powerful Spin]], during which Starfy grabs him from the back and spins while holding him. They move very quickly and start suffering from [[dizziness]] after the ability is finished. The real Moe likely is not involved since Starfy can use this ability when Moe runs away in [[Degil's Castle]].

Beside the Powerful Spin, Moe has no physical attacks. He usually simply stands on the sidelines of Starfy and [[Starly]]'s adventures and offers them advice. In ''The Legendary Starfy'', he looks for treasure and helps Starfy find it via Moe's Sniffer.

==Trivia==
*Before the official release of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'', Moe was referred to as キョロロン (''Kyororon'') in the [[Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)|Game Boy Color trial demo]] rather than キョロスケ (''Kyorosuke''). The name Kyororon may give cuter connotations than Kyorosuke in Japanese, so it may have been changed to better fit Moe (with his rude way of speaking).
