The '''Starfish''' is an elusive enemy, appearing only in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. It is a reference to the video game character [[Starfy]], as the glossary describes him as a star-shaped foe rumored to be the prince of a kingdom which Starfy is, as well as running, spinning, and swimming the same as him.
The '''Starfish''' is an elusive enemy, appearing only in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. The enemy is based on [[Starfy]], the main character of ''[[starfywiki:The Legendary Starfy (series)|The Legendary Starfy]]'' series, as referenced by its glossary description. It reuses various animations and sprites of Starfy from his games. It has pink cheeks and wears black sunglasses, referencing Starfy's hobby of wearing and collecting sunglasses.


Although the Starfish does not attempt to harm [[Princess Peach]], she still takes damage when coming into contact with it. The game describes it twice as an enemy; in the game's glossary, it is described as "a foe", and in all its locations, there is a message box stating it to be an "odd enemy".
It has pink cheeks and wears black sunglasses. This is a reference to Starfy's hobby of wearing and collecting sunglasses.


Out of all the enemies in the game, the Starfish is the hardest enemy to find and defeat. It appears in a specific area within three levels: [[Hoo's Wood 2-5|2-5]] in [[Hoo's Wood]], [[Wavy Beach 5-5|5-5]] in [[Wavy Beach]], and [[Gleam Glacier 6-4|6-4]] in [[Gleam Glacier]]. There is a low probability of seeing the Starfish when the player enters the specific area it is located, so repeated entry to the area might be needed to cause it to appear. To defeat it, players must attack it in each of these three places. After defeating it in all three places, the Starfish will be added to the Glossary. Once it takes damage in an area, it will not appear in that area again.
Although the Starfish neither attempts nor is able to harm [[Princess Peach]] in any way, the game describes it twice as an enemy. In the game's glossary, it is described as "a star-shaped foe[...]". Also, wherever it can be found, there is a message box stating it to be an "odd enemy".


In Hoo's Woods, it swims back and forth in a shallow area of water, and eventually will jump up into the sky and leave. Players must hit it or jump on it as it jumps up.
The Starfish, out of all the enemies in the game, is the hardest enemy to find and defeat. It appears in a specific point at each of three levels: 2-5 in [[Hoo's Wood]], 5-5 in [[Wavy Beach]], and 6-4 in [[Gleam Glacier]]. If the  specific area that it can be found in is entered, there is a low chance that it will be there. If it is not there, players can leave the place via a pipe and immediately come back, for another chance of it being there. To defeat it, players must attack it in each of these three places.


In Wavy Beach, it is asleep on the sand. The player must walk slowly up to it, then attack it, so it does not wake up and flee. It has a mat on it, and upon waking it up, the mat is lifted up, showing a drawing of [[starfywiki:Mattel|Mattel]] on it.<ref>[https://twitter.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/1322965232742993921 Supper Mario Broth on Twitter].

In Gleam Glacier, it stands on a ledge above the player. It will leave after a few seconds. To reach it, players must use the [[Gloom]] vibe.
