History

Densetsu no Starfy 2

Starfy meets Shurikit in the second stage of Jumbowood Forest, where Shurikit has lost their bell. In return for finding it, Shurikit teaches Starfy the Air Jump ability.

Densetsu no Starfy 3

Shurikit appears in the third stage of Jungle, where she teaches Starfy how to use the Air Jump ability. After teaching Starfy how to use it, Shurikit tells Starfy that if he can catch them using the Air Jump, they'll consider him a master of the technique. Unable to catch her normally, Starfy asks Moe and Starly for advice. They tell him that just like the ferocious beasts beforehand, he might be able to stop Shurikit with their favorite food, Fish. Starfy must use his Star Spin to stun the Fish and knock the Fish out of the water. The Fish must land on to one of three platforms for Shurikit to jump on. If Starfy follows Shurikit, they will jump to the next platform closest away from Starfy. After distracting them with fish, Starfy catches Shurikit and is considered an Air Jump master, and is given the Kitty-Cat Glasses. Prior to beating Altered Ogura for the first time, this 'minigame' can be repeated by leaving the room and returning again, so that the Fish will respawn and Shurikit will start jumping again but there are no further rewards for completing it more than once. If Starfy or Starly returns after beating Altered Ogura, the Fish will be there but Shurikit will not start jumping. If the player talks to Shurikit again, they say that they'll start training so that they won't get tempted by fish anymore, even if it is right in front of them.

If the player talks to Shurikit during the post game, he catches them thinking of fish before they snap out of it, telling themselves not to think of tasty fish.
