Kigurumi is an ability in the first four Starfy games. It is somewhat similar to Roostar. When using it, Starfy or Starly wear an animal costume. The Legendary Starfy is the only game which lacks this ability if Roostar doesn't count.

Variety and controls

In Densetsu no Starfy, the Kigurumi is a blue teddy bear. Use the control pad to move left or right. Press the B button to scare enemies. Press the A button to jump. In Densetsu no Starfy 2, it's a green koala. It has the same controls as Densetsu no Starfy's version until Starfy gets the upgrade. The upgrade is a red crocodile dressed in black.

Densetsu no Starfy 2's upgraded Kigurumi, also known as Yanki Kigurumi.

The player can press Select to switch between the koala and the crocodile. In Densetsu no Starfy 3, it's a grayish sheep. This one can speed up by holding the B button. The upgrade is a pink pig. In Densetsu no Starfy 4, it's a black pig and an octopus. The player can change forms by pressing the L or R buttons. This time they can shoot food at enemies by pressing the Y button. Holding the B button allows the player to go faster.
