Staryu appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' out of [[Poké Ball]]s. Its attack is similar to the attack of [[Starmie]] from ''[[SSB]]''. It will fly around the screen to find another character to shoot at. Once it stops moving and targets a character, Staryu will start to use Swift. Staryu will not move once it starts using Swift. Any character that makes contact with Swift will take damage. However, the attack can be easily DI'd out of. Any character can also take [[damage]] if they touch Staryu while it's using Swift attack. Staryu's attack does not harm the summoner.
Staryu appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' out of [[Poké Ball]]s, replacing [[Starmie]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. Once released it flies around looking for an opponent to target, and upon finding it it remains stationary and attacks with Swift, shooting a stream of damaging stars. Its attack can be easily DI'd out of. Touching Staryu while it's attacking also deals damage. Staryu's attack does not harm the summoner.

It's said that as long as its red center remains, it can regrow its limbs. Whether it's related to Cleffa, another Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped appearance, is unknown.''

Staryu appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' out of Poké Balls in a reprisal of its previous role, with the same method of attacking by using Swift. It appears to move faster than the last game, making more difficult to avoid, and also looks like it has a quicker rate of fire.

:''A Star Shape Pokémon. It gathers in groups and flashes the red jewel in the center of its body in time to the twinkling of the stars in the night sky. If it loses appendages, it can regenerate them right away. It can also use Camouflage, which allows it to change its type to match the surrounding terrain. If a Water Stone is used on it, it evolves into Starmie.''
