Moe's Corner

The Starly search question in the North American The Legendary Starfy manual

Moe's Corner (Japanese: キョロスケのおまけコーナー, Kyorosuke's Extra Corner) are messages from Moe in the The Legendary Starfy manual. The messages generally give the player tips on various aspects of playing the game, but one of them explains that screenshots of the upper screen in the manual have an orange border, and that screenshots of the Touch Screen have a green one.

Additionally, Moe challenges the player to count how many times Starly appears in the manual. This challenge is known as the Starly search question. The answer is a total of fifteen times.

The table below lists all the Moe's Corner messages and their page numbers, with the Japanese manual page numbers listed first and the North American manual page numbers listed second.

"Want a challenge? Try counting the number of times Starly's picture shows up in this manual! And don't forget to count when she's on the screens too.
