Starfy is a protagonist of The Legendary Starfy video games. He's also commonly known as Stafy, though the appropriate name to use is debatable (although the name "Starfy" and "Stafy" has been officially used in both Japan and America).

Appearances[]

The Legendary Starfy series[]

In the video game series (which has five games in all, each having a similar style to the Kirby series), he is seven years old, and like Kirby is quite small, though slightly taller at one foot, two inches. He also has a friend named Moe (Who is a clam) and Starly is his sister. Starfy has been on 5 adventures so far, fighting against the villainous Ogura.

Though Starfy looks like a starfish, he's not one and though he came from the sky he's not a star. According to TOSE, they have a company policy that states that when someone asks whether Starfy is a Star or a Starfish, they respond with "neither". He lives in the sky, and after falling into the ocean, many had false assumptions that he was a starfish.

Starfy's first three games were on the Game Boy Advance and the fourth and fifth on DS. The fifth game for the DS is, as of yet, the only one that has been released in America. This will be the first Starfy game released in the US and goes under the name The Legendary Starfy.

Super Smash Bros. series[]

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]

Starfy is in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an assist trophy, though, he's under his Japanese name, Stafy, because his series was still Japan-exclusive at the time. When released, he jumps and runs around the stage and sometimes spin attacks enemies like he does in his own games. He is also the only assist trophy that can be hit in Brawl, which will cause him to explode. Also when summoned, the fanfare that plays when Starfy encounters a boss in his games will play.

Trophy description[]
"The prince of the kingdom of Tenkai. He's a bit spacey and clumsy, but when he sets his mind to something, he gives it his all. Stafy gets help from his friends Kyorosuke the clam and the wizened Lobjii-san. Stafy sometimes dons a pig suit and throws pork cutlets. In Densetsu no Starfy 3, Stafy meets Wario and goes with him to steal the treasures of the deep."

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U[]

Starfy reappears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U as an assist trophy. He can be KO'd like the previous game, but he will no longer explode.

Trophy description[]
"Starfy is the absentminded prince of the Pufftop Kingdom, and the hero of The Legendary Starfy. Is he a star? A starfish? His commitment to helping you when summoned is obvious, even if his species isn't. He'll use a Star Spin attack, which isn't all that powerful. It's the thought that counts!" (NTSC)
"Starfy is Pufftop Kingdom's scatterbrained prince and the hero of The Legendary Starfy. He looks like a star, or maybe a starfish – no one knows what he really is. When released, he'll boldly attack enemies with his Star Spin. It's not a very powerful attack, but at least he's trying!" (PAL)

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]

Starfy reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an assist trophy. He can be KO'd like the previous games, but defeating him now grants the player a point. He cannot be summoned in Suzaku Castle.

He also appears as a neutral Ace-class Primary Spirit, availible only by summoning. He is summoned by combining the Spirits of Moe, Old Man Lobber, and Mermaid.
