This article is a summary of television or online commercials that were produced to promote the The Legendary Starfy series. Most of the commercials originate from Japan because of The Legendary Starfy being the only localized game.
For many of the commercials, there are special anime style scenes that were not taken from existing gameplay footage. Additionally, Japanese tarento Becky, Saya Kazuki, Perfume, ℃-ute have been shown, singing their own version of the series Title Song. Japanese The Legendary Starfy commercials also have their own version of the series Title Song, but without anyone singing it.
