Starfright

Starfright (Reishi, レイシィ in Japan) is one of Bunston's transformations, and the last acquired by Starfy. It is obtained in S.S. Logwater (Stage 7-1), and turns Starfy into a ghost. When Starfy transforms into Starfright, he can attack enemies by sending wisps of purple fire (possibly based on will-o'-the-wisp) that explode harming anything in contact of the blast. He can also momentarily transform into a small purple star and travel through small star-shaped spikes without being harmed. This ability is called Vanish.

A Transforming Stone available in Planet Bunnera's Area Secret 3 grants an upgraded Super Vanish ability which increases the time given for disappearing.
