Kigurumi (Japanese: きぐるみ, Kigurumi) is an ability in the first four Starfy games. It is somewhat similar to Roostar. When using it, Starfy or Starly wear an animal costume. The Legendary Starfy is the only game which lacks this ability if Roostar doesn't count.
Types and controls
In Densetsu no Starfy, the Kigurumi is a blue teddy bear. Use the control pad to move left or right. Press the B button to scare enemies. Press the A button to jump.
In Densetsu no Starfy 2, the Kigurumi is a green koala. It has the same controls as the version from Densetsu no Starfy until Starfy gets the upgrade. The upgrade is a red crocodile dressed in black.
The player can press Select to switch between the koala and the crocodile.
In Densetsu no Starfy 3, it's a grayish sheep. Starfy had to give Fukafuka three materials in order to make it — Wool, the Sewing Set and the Curved Horns. This one can be sped up by holding the B button. The upgrade is a pink pig.
In Densetsu no Starfy 4, it's a black pig and an octopus. The player can change forms by pressing the L or R buttons. This time they can shoot food at enemies by pressing the Y button (pork cutlets or octopus sticks, depending on the form). Holding the B button allows the player to go faster.

- In fact, listening to its theme on the sound test in Moe's House causes Moe to loudly sing it when Wotsaruto plays the track, which then causes Starfy to panic and run back and forth.
- Yanki Kigurumi is probably a reference to the Yankī "subculture" in Japan. It was represented as a stereotype for Japanese youth who would adopt "American" hairstyles and fashions.

- In spite of the form's ability to Dash in Starfy 3 and 4, neither game's signpost descriptions of the Ability specify this.
