Signboards (Japanese: カンバン) are interactive objects in all games in The Legendary Starfy series apart from The Legendary Starfy. They teach the player about a recently learned ability and usually disappear after the area one appears in is complete. In the Game Boy Advance games, they are wooden and have a square board where the message is, while in Densetsu no Starfy 4 the board is rounder and the signboard appears to be made of metal.
In Densetsu no Starfy, being near a signboard makes a text box appear below that shows the controls and what ability performing those controls will do.
In Densetsu no Starfy 2, Densetsu no Starfy 3 and Densetsu no Starfy 4, the player can press the up button on the D-pad (or the X button in Densetsu no Starfy 4) to bring up a screen that explains the controls for an ability with an accompanying animation. The animation can be slowed down using the L or R buttons.
