Pufftop (Densetsu no Starfy)

Overview

Starfy and Moe meeting the injured Pufftop Guard near the entrance to Pufftop

In the first game, it is shown that Pufftop is the home of Starfy. Starfy is first seen carrying several items through the hallways of Pufftop, among these items being the jar that holds Ogura whom, at the time, is presumably unknown to Starfy. Starfy then accidentally trips and the items fall out of his hands. The jar falls out of Pufftop and into the sea. This event supposedly releases Ogura from the jar as great storms and winds, likely summoned by Ogura, assault Pufftop. The force from these storms blow Starfy out of Pufftop and into the ocean where his adventure begins, and he is awakened by Old Man Lobber. Starfy embarks on a quest through many places to reach his home once more. Finally, after helping many characters and defeating many enemies throughout his journey, Starfy clears Stage 7 Sea of Sky and enters Pufftop with his new close friend Moe, only to find it in ruins. Starfy and Moe meet up with an exhausted Pufftop Guard who relays to them that Ogura has taken over Pufftop as none of the guards, including himself, were able to stop him from doing so. Continuing through the derelict Pufftop, Starfy eventually comes across several of the Pufftop Children whom are also denizens of Pufftop.

Some of the traps in the ruined Pufftop.

They are presumably lost and are taken into Moe's custody. Continuing on through Pufftop and facing its many intricate puzzles and traps, Starfy comes across six more of the Pufftop Children, totaling nine of them. After rescuing all the Pufftop Children, Starfy comes across three doors, each of which leading to a switch that, when activated, would contribute to opening the door to Ogura. When all three of the switches are activated, the door opens and Starfy continues on to battle Ogura. After defeating Ogura and resealing him within the jar, Pufftop is returned to normal and Starfy's parents are seen along with several Pufftop guards congratulating Starfy and celebrating his return. Afterwards, Starfy is seen accidentally knocking many Treasure Boxes into the ocean which then begins his optional, second adventure to retrieve these chests.
