==History==
===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''===
[[File:Stafy Movie Poster.PNG|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Starfy makes a cameo appearance on a movie poster in the [[Yoshi Theater]], advertising a make-believe movie called "[[List of implied entertainment#Legend of Stafy|Legend of Stafy]]", using the Japanese pronunciation ''Stafy''. This marks his debut outside Japan.

In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', a game also created by TOSE, Starfy makes a cameo as the enemy known as "[[Starfish]]". The game's Glossary even describes him as "A star-shaped foe rumored to be the prince of a kingdom?", which partly describes Starfy himself.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

Starfy also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as an [[Assist Trophy]] character. However, unlike most Assist Trophies, Starfy is vulnerable to opposing attacks, and can be sent flying out of the stage easily. He makes up for this with strong attacks, as well as a wide range of moves, such as a spin attack, and a fiery explosion.

Starfy reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', as an Assist Trophy.

In ''[[starfywiki:Densetsu no Starfy 3|Densetsu no Stafy 3]]'', Wario makes a cameo appearance where helps [[starfywiki:Starfy|Starfy]] throughout the [[starfywiki:Undersea Ruins|Undersea Ruins]] by using some of his transformations from ''[[Wario Land 4]]''.

====''Densetsu no Stafy'' (Yumiko Sudō) manga====
Wario appears in the eighth chapter of volume two of the [[starfywiki:Densetsu no Starfy (Yumiko Sudō)|''Densetsu no Stafy'' manga illustrated by Yumiko Sudō]]. This chapter is called [[Wario to Saikyou Tag da Fii!]] (Japanese: ワリオと最強タッグだフィー!), roughly meaning "With Wario, this is the Best Tag Team, Fii!". The chapter has Wario looking for treasure near a town in Starfy's world, before losing his treasure map, so Starfy and Moe decide to use Wario's treasure map to look for treasure and the map leads them to a cave containing the treasure, however, Moe gets separated from Starfy after Starfy accidentally activates a trap door.

When Wario comes (despite losing his treasure map), Wario and Starfy team up to find the treasure and they use the [[Dash Attack|Wario Attack]] and Shooting Star ability to break a boulder blocking their way (which fell after Starfy activated the trap door) but it turns out that Moe had already found the treasure before them. When Wario and Starfy find Moe eating at a restaurant, they use the Wario Attack and Shooting Star ability against him.

Starly is also holding [[Perry]], the parasol from ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. This costume is one of the winners of a costume designing contest held in Japan for fans.

|''Starfy is the absentminded prince of the Pufftop Kingdom, and the hero of The Legendary Starfy. Is he a star? A starfish? His commitment to helping you when summoned is obvious, even if his species isn't. He'll use a Star Spin attack, which isn't all that powerful. It's the thought that counts!''
