Gordon Ramsay once asked me how I prepared my dish. I answered "Starfy" and he got pissed off. He knew it was raw.
masterclass
It says something about this game that I left it at literally the last level of the game for months before I finally finished it.
Fun platformer for the Nintendo DS, I honestly had a lot of fun with this, I wish that the series wasn't completely dead by this point so we would've had a sequel or a remaster.
ok check it, what if Kirby was a Starfish and King DDD was a clam.......(silence in the Nintendo bored room).........(EVERYONE JONTS UP CLAPPING) YES YEA THAT'S AN AMAZING IDEA.
Not gonna make a long one since it's my birthday and I'd like nothing more then to not waste a whole morning on writing a review for Starfy.
Starfy is pretty much just a really chill and cute platformer not unlike Kirby but I honestly find the level design more engaging and akin to a sudo-metroidvania and personally I find the character in Starfy have much more characterization then something you'd find in a Kirby game. They all bicker bounch off each other really well and all the wacky character they meet along their journy are memorable and just as charming as the main cast. Plus it's always great to see cute cuddly mascot characters fight agenst unbelievable space horrors.
I'd say my only complaint is that the later stages are not nearly as engaging as the earlier levels with a lot of them just feeling very liner and the final boss is just alright. I could never beat the finale boss as a kid since it involved the boss turning into a eldritch horror and using his mouth lazer to shoot a whole planet at you and you just have to mash the A button a lot until you launch it back, but for whatever reason as a kid I could never mash enough. Now as a sad 22 year old I finally mashed hard enough finished a game made for children........ Moe is cool and we love him very much.

The cutest thing I've ever seen. Your girlfriend had a DS and you didn't buy this for her and that's why she's not your girlfriend anymore.
Another overlooked DS classic, who'd have thunk it? The Legendary Starfy is far more than a "Kirby of the Sea": it's a heartfelt, adorable game that, despite being a little easier than most platformers, absolutely oozes with charm and spirit in a way that makes it nearly impossible to hate. Its gameplay is fluid and frenetic, with multiple powers to unlock and make you come back to levels for even more goodies. The music is grooving, and the characters are some of the sweetest on the system. Their optimism is infectious. If you're looking for a game that'll just fill you with a warm fuzzy feeling, I can't reccomend The Legendary Starfy enough.
Also I remember the final boss being way harder as a kid what

Hes a king i wish him nothing but the best in life
kirby if he had no hoes
i bought this at the request of an old friend and really hated it but didn't have the heart to tell them. obscenely slow and uninteresting, and more aesthetically irritating than appealing.
My first DS game was this. I don't see many people talk about it. It's a very charming game that makes water levels fun. There's some surprisingly dark moments that make kirby lore look like a joke. Also this game gave me my insane mashing abilities. This is an underappreciated classic.
Super fun and super charming.
It's a simple platformer, but I'm not bothered by that. It's oozing with charm, from the spritework, to the 3D Models, and especially due to the characters oftentimes looking like puppets. I honestly forget the DS can do 3D a lot of the times, but I just absolutely love how Starfy does it here, but maybe it's cause I was playing with 3X Resolution, who knows. The transformations you can get are really fun, and how Starfy typically moves really adds to things. I was able to beat it in a single sitting, but I skipped out on a lot of the side content.
The game never really challenged me anywhere, which may dissuade someone from playing it but hey, sometimes I want a somewhat easy game. The bosses were really fun though, especially some of the later ones. Definitely worth a try!

yknow for a kirby ripoff its honestly not that bad
i played this game in therapy to do something with my hands as i talked about my gender dysphoria
Lovely platformer. A crime that the U.S. has one of these games while Japan has FIVE.
mash
Best platformer on the DS, truly a game for mashers
Never played this before and I get a happy birthday message from the cutest characters ever when I load it up. I almost start to cry in public because that was the cutest fucking thing a game has ever said to me.
It's a bit easy and I wish it was a bit shorter, but this game kind of rules and you should play it.

I desperately plead to Nintendo for the millionth time, FUND PORTS OF THE EARLIER GAMES OR MAKE A NEW ONE. Starfy actually is like Kirby in the way that the entire game is both cutesy but also sometimes difficult. I've played through this one so, so many times and I am dying for them to make a new one in English (or port the old ones!).
was i the only one who like struggled really hard in the button mash sequence against the final boss. i had to look up a youtube video on how to optimally button mash (the trick was to rub the button instead of actually pressing it) and i was still fighting for my life. shoutout to like 10 year old me or something
also i liked the minigames and costume menu a lot.

My memory of this game will always be that it was too easy to the point of being kinda boring up until the beam struggle or whatever at the end of the final boss fight, at which point I was given a QTE that required me to mash a button so rapidly for such an extended period of time that I literally physically could not do it and had to get help from a friend.
This platformer is incredibly underappreciated. Easily one of my favorites. It's a lot like Kirby in many ways (cute platformer where the protagonist has transformations) but has a lot of its own charm that makes it stick out. Both gameplay and story are nice. I wish we got localizations of the previous games in the series and that the series continued past this one.
7.8 - This game is MUCH too difficult for a soylent drinker like myself. Needed my musclemaxxed brother to help me defeat the final boss because I couldn’t tap fast enough.
A fun, easy game with a charming cast of characters. The button mashing for the final boss made me feel so betrayed when I was kid.
This game is adorable and fun. It is a simple 2D platformer for young children but its just difficult enough to keep older gamers interested. It has a cute underwater location with fun characters and great music. An underrated Nintendo gem only on the DS (in America at least)
"What if we made a game that is 50% water level" but somehow they made it really good, ironically its the above ground platforming that isn't as fun as the underwater stuff this time around. This game has some pretty unique bossfights to boot, with the final bosses mashing being the place where I learned how to mash buttons properly, to the point where I am a beast at any mash minigame, so thanks Starfy. Now gimme the rest of the series' games Nintendo.
This features the hardest final boss in video game history.
Very cute platformer that is similar to kirby. Nothing as remarkable as that series. Some of the levels are stale and boring but its fast pace keeps it from being boring. A fun playthrough but nothing crazy.
13 years ago, in a family reunion, i got through the entire game in a rush, only being stopped by the final boss' mashing button attack sequence. in the following days, i asked for help from many people, and nobody could get through it. i ended up losing the flashcard where the game and its save was. starfy was left as a loose end in my life. each year i considered going back into the game, but it proved difficult as i had other things to do and other games to play.
today, july 30th 2023, i beat the final boss in a single try. and also 100% the game. it was fun!! i liked it and it was cute:)
note: i didn't do the 10th world, i'll do it some other time i think
