Starfy (スタフィー, Sutafī), previously spelled "Stafy" in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and other media before the localization, is the main character of the Densetsu no Starfy series. He has five games, of which the first three appeared on the Game Boy Advance, and the latest two on the Nintendo DS. His trademark move is his spin attack ability, later localized in The Legendary Starfy as the Star Spin. The current game, The Legendary Starfy, for the Nintendo DS, is the first game in the series to be released outside of Japan.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Starfy appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When appearing, a fanfare can be heard, and he performs 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, upon descending he can stun opposing players 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, but his name is misspelled as "Stafy" in the name of his trophy and in the accompanying description. Brawl was released before the first Starfy game was released outside of Japan, which gave him the name Starfy.
Trophy
Stafy
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 Stafy 3, Stafy meets Wario and goes with him to steal the treasures of the deep.

In Super Smash Bros. 4
Starfy re-appears in Super Smash Bros. 4. While it is not officially confirmed Starfy is an Assist Trophy, it is heavily implied that he is because there is no separate character page for him on the official website.
Trivia
- In Brawl, the trophy of Starfy's sister Starly (also erroneously 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 Custom Robo or Animal Crossing trophies appear in the "Fighter Related" category, although Starfy, Ray MK III and Mr. Resetti all appear as Assist Trophies. This has lead to some theories that Starfy was planned as a playable character at one point in the development of Brawl.
