Starfy makes more sense, but Sutafii would probably be romanized as Stafy, which is evidenced by the game's files referring to him as Stafy

'''Starfy''' ({{ja|スタフィー|Sutafī}}, ''Stafy''), previously known as '''Stafy''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and other media before the localization, is the main character of the [[starfywiki:The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]]. The first three games in the series appeared on the {{s|nwiki|Game Boy Advance}}, and the latest two on the {{s|nwiki|Nintendo DS}}. His trademark move is his {{s|starfywiki|Star Spin}} attack. His most recent game, ''The Legendary Starfy'' for the Nintendo DS, is the first game in the series to be released outside of Japan.


==Origin==
[[File:Densetsu no Stafy.jpg|left|thumb|Starfy in ''Densetsu no Starfy'' (''Legendary Starfy'' or ''Legend of Starfy'').]]
Starfy is the prince of the [[starfywiki:Pufftop|Pufftop Kingdom]], which is found high in the sky above the ocean. His adventures involve resolving a crisis in his kingdom, or another kingdom (in the last two [[starfywiki:The Legendary Starfy (series)|''Legendary Starfy'' games]]) with help from his friends {{iw|starfywiki|Moe}} the clam, {{iw|starfywiki|Old Man Lobber}} the lobster and his younger sister {{iw|starfywiki|Starly}}, among others.


'''Stafy''' is the main character of the ''Densetsu no Stafy'' series.
When Starfy appears in ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' as an Assist Trophy, a short melody will be heard. This melody plays in the first four ''Legendary Starfy'' games for when Starfy or Starly faces a boss as part of the tune {{iw|starfywiki|Confrontation with the Boss|music}}.
 
The Starfy Assist Trophy attacks using the neutral form of his {{iw|starfywiki|Star Spin}} (known as the Spin Attack in Japan). This is Starfy and Starly's most basic attack in the ''Legendary Starfy'' games that was originally taught to Starfy by {{iw|starfywiki|Herman}} in ''{{iw|starfywiki|Densetsu no Starfy}}'' and is described as Starfy's famous move in ''The Legendary Starfy'', though Starfy often forgets it. In the ''Legendary Starfy'' games it can be upgraded two times, to the Mighty Star Spin (Spin Attack level 2 in Japan), and then the Ultra Star Spin (Spin Attack level 3 in Japan).

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
''Stafy'' appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He does a brief spin attack, and also appears to spout flames. Unlike other assist trophies, Stafy can be attacked.
===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
[[File:Stafy brawl.jpg|thumb|Starfy attacking {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.]]
Starfy appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. A fanfare plays upon appearing before he starts performing his spin attack, which can briefly trap an opponent, somewhat like {{SSBB|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, he can stun opposing players upon descending 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. In ''Brawl'', his name is spelled "Stafy", as ''Brawl'' was released before the first ''Starfy'' game was released outside of Japan, which gave him his localized name.

Stafy gets help from his friends [[starfywiki:Moe|Kyorosuke]] the clam and the wizened [[starfywiki:Old Man Lobber|Lobjii-san]]. Stafy sometimes dons a [[starfywiki:Kigurumi (ability)|pig suit]] and throws pork cutlets. In [[starfywiki:Densetsu no Starfy 3|Densetsu No Stafy 3]], Stafy meets [[Wario]] and goes with him to steal the [[starfywiki:Undersea Ruins|treasures of the deep]].

===As an Assist Trophy===
[[File:StarfyLumaPikachu.jpg|thumb|Starfy in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.]]
Starfy re-appears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' as an Assist Trophy, functionally identically as he did in ''Brawl'', albeit he loses his explosion attack and can be KO'd if he takes enough damage.
{{clr}}
 
===Trophy===
The Wii U version of the Starfy trophy states that ''The Legendary Starfy'' was released on 09/2002 for the Nintendo DS; in actuality, it was released on June 8, 2009. This was fixed in an update. In the Japanese version, his debut is listed as ''Legend of Starfy'' for the Game Boy Advance.

|desc-ntsc=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!
|desc-pal=Starfy is Pufftop Kingdom's scatterbrained prince and the hero of The Legendary Starfy. He looks like a star, or maybe a starfish – no one knows what he really is. When released, he'll boldly attack enemies with his Star Spin. It's not a very powerful attack, but at least he's trying!

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As an Assist Trophy===
Starfy makes a return as an Assist Trophy and acts similarly to how he did in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', albeit KOing him now earns a point.
 
Starfy cannot be summoned on [[Suzaku Castle]]
 
===Spirit===
Starfy also appears as an Ace-class [[primary spirit]]. He can be [[summon]]ed using the cores of {{h2|List of spirits (Others)|Moe}}, {{h2|List of spirits (Others)|Old Man Lobber}}, and {{h2|List of spirits (Others)|Mermaid}}.

==Trivia==
*In ''Brawl'', the trophy of Starfy's sister Starly (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 {{uv|Custom Robo}}, {{uv|Kururin}} or {{uv|Animal Crossing}} trophies appear in the "Fighter Related" category, although Starfy, [[Ray Mk III]], [[Helirin]] and [[Mr. Resetti]] all appear as Assist Trophies.
*Starfy is the only second-party created Assist Trophy from a non-playable universe to have appeared in all three games since the introduction of the item.
*In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', the inside of Starfy's mouth is yellow, but his official artwork for ''Brawl'' shows it as red. It is red in-game in ''Ultimate''.


Additionally, Stafy's standard trophy can be obtained by clearing Target Smash level 1 with at least 10 different characters.
