List of references to The Legendary Starfy series in non-Starfy games
This article covers a list of references to The Legendary Starfy series in other video games.
In Donkey Konga
One of the available tracks in the Japanese version of Donkey Konga is "Densetsu no Starfy". This is the full version of Becky's version of the series Title Song, complete with lyrics. This song was first heard in at least two Japanese commercials for Densetsu no Starfy. It was later released in the album Densetsu no Starfy c/w Boyfriend's Rookie. The song once appeared in an episode of the Japanese television show Oha Suta: The Super Kids Station, in which Becky made a guest appearance on the show to promote the sale of the album.
In MapleStory
In the Korean massively multiplayer online role-playing game MapleStory, there is monster called the 'yellow starfish' (Japanese: ヒトデ) that resembles Starfy.[1] MapleStory also includes similar monsters, called the Starfish and the Angry Starfish, but they are red instead of yellow.
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Starfy makes a cameo appearance in the Yoshi Theater, where he appears on the poster of a movie titled 'Legend of Stafy'. This was the first appearance of Starfy outside of Japan. The artwork depicts the front cover of Densetsu no Starfy.
In Super Princess Peach
- Main article: Super Princess Peach
Super Princess Peach shares several similarities in gameplay with games in The Legendary Starfy series, likely because the game was developed by TOSE.
Most notably, Super Princess Peach includes a 'Starfish' enemy resembling Starfy wearing sunglasses that has the glossary entry "a star-shaped foe rumored to be the prince of a kingdom?". Its glossary entry may be a referring to Starfy who is the prince of Pufftop.
The fragile platforms in Shriek Mansion, Fury Volcano and Bowser's Villa feature fragile platforms that require Princess Peach to walk slowly on them using the L or R buttons. Similar platforms are used in Misty Town in Densetsu no Starfy 3 that require Starfy and Starly to glide on to them and walk slowly to avoid breaking them.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Starfy has a small role in Brawl, which is being an Assist Trophy. An Assist Trophy is an item that allows players to have another character help them in battle. However, Starfy is known as one of the weakest Assist Trophies, because the characters can attack and push him off the stage, unlike other Assist Trophies. Starfy's only method of attacking in Brawl is using Star Spins.
In addition, both Starfy and 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 stickers. There are two Starfy stickers. The first sticker depicts the official artwork of Starfy swimming from Densetsu no Starfy. The second sticker depicts the official artwork of Starfy wearing one of the Stuff (possibly the Aloha Shirt) from Densetsu no Starfy 2.
