'''Starfy''' ({{ja|スタフィー|Sutafī}}, ''Stafy''), previously known as '''Stafy''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and other media before the localization, is the main character of the [[starfywiki:The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. The first three games in the series appeared on the {{s|nwiki|Game Boy Advance}}, and the latest two on the {{s|nwiki|Nintendo DS}}. His trademark move is his {{s|starfywiki|Star Spin}} attack. His most recent game, ''The Legendary Starfy'' for the Nintendo DS, is the first game in the series to be released outside of Japan.


'''Stafy''', also called "'''Stafi'''", "'''Starfy'''", and/or "'''Starfi'''", is the main character of the ''Densetsu no Stafy'' series. He has had five of his own games, the first three appeared on the [[Game Boy|Game Boy Advance]], the fourth game for the [[Nintendo DS]], and the most recent fifth game titled, ''Densetsu no Stafy:Taiketsu! Dire Kaizokudan'', also on the Nintendo DS. He appears to be about 7-9 years of age. He's a little clumsy, but he can be very strong when he puts his mind to it. His sister, [[Stapy]], sometimes motivates him to do so. His games are similar to that of [[Kirby (universe)|Kirby]] or [[Mario (universe)|Mario]], in the way that you explore levels and platforming sequences. His trademark is his spin attack, even though it is not accessible at the beginning of each installment. The series itself began in 2002, making it 7 years old and a fairly recent franchise. Unfortunately, no game in the series has been released outside of Japan thus far.  
==Origin==
[[File:Densetsu no Stafy.jpg|left|thumb|Starfy in ''Densetsu no Starfy'' (''Legendary Starfy'' or ''Legend of Starfy'').]]
Starfy is the prince of the [[starfywiki:Pufftop|Pufftop Kingdom]], which is found high in the sky above the ocean. His adventures involve resolving a crisis in his kingdom, or another kingdom (in the last two [[starfywiki:The Legendary Starfy (series)|''Legendary Starfy'' games]]) with help from his friends {{iw|starfywiki|Moe}} the clam, {{iw|starfywiki|Old Man Lobber}} the lobster and his younger sister {{iw|starfywiki|Starly}}, among others.
 
When Starfy appears in ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' as an Assist Trophy, a short melody will be heard. This melody plays in the first four ''Legendary Starfy'' games for when Starfy or Starly faces a boss as part of the tune {{iw|starfywiki|Confrontation with the Boss|music}}.
 
The Starfy Assist Trophy attacks using the neutral form of his {{iw|starfywiki|Star Spin}} (known as the Spin Attack in Japan). This is Starfy and Starly's most basic attack in the ''Legendary Starfy'' games that was originally taught to Starfy by {{iw|starfywiki|Herman}} in ''{{iw|starfywiki|Densetsu no Starfy}}'' and is described as Starfy's famous move in ''The Legendary Starfy'', though Starfy often forgets it. In the ''Legendary Starfy'' games it can be upgraded two times, to the Mighty Star Spin (Spin Attack level 2 in Japan), and then the Ultra Star Spin (Spin Attack level 3 in Japan).

===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
''Stafy'' appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He does a brief spin attack. Unlike other assist trophies, Stafy can be attacked and knocked away. However, if he receives a high amount of damage, he will explode, an attack that gives high [[knockback]] and [[damage]]. You can easily exploit this weakness by defeating Stafy with a smash attack.

Starfy appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. A fanfare plays upon appearing before he starts performing his spin attack, which can briefly trap an opponent, somewhat like {{SSBB|Toon Link}}'s [[Spin Attack]]. However, Starfy's spin attacks are very weak, and similar to [[Lakitu]], Starfy can be attacked and knocked away. If he receives a high amount of damage, however, he will explode, which gives high [[knockback]] and [[damage]], which can act as a deterrent of sorts to prevent combatants from attacking him. If Starfy is somehow knocked away, he can stun opposing players upon descending for about two seconds and deal a large amount of damage, leaving said players open for attack from the summoner.
 
Additionally, Starfy appears as a regular trophy, which is unlocked by clearing [[Target Smash!!]] Level 1 with at least 10 different characters. In ''Brawl'', his name is spelled "Stafy", as ''Brawl'' was released before the first ''Starfy'' game was released outside of Japan, which gave him his localized name.

Stafy was planned to be playable, as under "Fighter Related" category in the Trophies, Stapy's trophy appears in the category. It could be said that just because he is an Assist Trophy, his series is in "Fighter Related", however, no ''Custom Robo'' or ''Animal Crossing'' trophies are in that category.
*In ''Brawl'', the trophy of Starfy's sister Starly (named "Stapy" in ''Brawl'') is indexed under the "Fighter Related" category, despite the fact that Starfy is not a playable character in the game. Furthermore, no {{uv|Custom Robo}}, {{uv|Kururin}} or {{uv|Animal Crossing}} trophies appear in the "Fighter Related" category, although Starfy, [[Ray Mk III]], [[Helirin]] and [[Mr. Resetti]] all appear as Assist Trophies.
*Starfy is the only second-party created Assist Trophy from a non-playable universe to have appeared in all three games since the introduction of the item.
*In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', the inside of Starfy's mouth is yellow, but his official artwork for ''Brawl'' shows it as red. It is red in-game in ''Ultimate''.

Starfy (スタフィー, Stafy), previously known as Stafy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and other media before the localization, is the main character of the The Legendary Starfy series. The first three games in the series appeared on the Game Boy Advance, and the latest two on the Nintendo DS. His trademark move is his Star Spin attack. His most recent game, The Legendary Starfy for the Nintendo DS, is the first game in the series to be released outside of Japan.

Origin[edit]

Starfy in Densetsu no Starfy (Legendary Starfy or Legend of Starfy).

Starfy is the prince of the Pufftop Kingdom, which is found high in the sky above the ocean. His adventures involve resolving a crisis in his kingdom, or another kingdom (in the last two Legendary Starfy games) with help from his friends Moe the clam, Old Man Lobber the lobster and his younger sister Starly, among others.

When Starfy appears in Super Smash Bros. as an Assist Trophy, a short melody will be heard. This melody plays in the first four Legendary Starfy games for when Starfy or Starly faces a boss as part of the tune Confrontation with the Boss.

The Starfy Assist Trophy attacks using the neutral form of his Star Spin (known as the Spin Attack in Japan). This is Starfy and Starly's most basic attack in the Legendary Starfy games that was originally taught to Starfy by Herman in Densetsu no Starfy and is described as Starfy's famous move in The Legendary Starfy, though Starfy often forgets it. In the Legendary Starfy games it can be upgraded two times, to the Mighty Star Spin (Spin Attack level 2 in Japan), and then the Ultra Star Spin (Spin Attack level 3 in Japan).

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

As an Assist Trophy[edit]

Starfy attacking Diddy Kong in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Starfy appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. A fanfare plays upon appearing before he starts performing his spin attack, which can briefly trap an opponent, somewhat like Toon Link's Spin Attack. However, Starfy's spin attacks are very weak, and similar to Lakitu, Starfy can be attacked and knocked away. If he receives a high amount of damage, however, he will explode, which gives high knockback and damage, which can act as a deterrent of sorts to prevent combatants from attacking him. If Starfy is somehow knocked away, he can stun opposing players upon descending for about two seconds and deal a large amount of damage, leaving said players open for attack from the summoner.

Additionally, Starfy appears as a regular trophy, which is unlocked by clearing Target Smash!! Level 1 with at least 10 different characters. In Brawl, his name is spelled "Stafy", as Brawl was released before the first Starfy game was released outside of Japan, which gave him his localized name.
