Mashtooth is the main villain and final boss in The Legendary Starfy. He is a dragon-like space pirate who conquered Bunnera to absorb the powers of its inhabitants and become the most powerful force in the galaxy. He has two forms when you face him.

Boss Battle

First Form

At first, Bunston tries to help Starfy by turning him into Monstar, but it ends up with Mashtooth having a forcefield. The player loses the Monstar fight, and then goes to normal Starfy. To defeat him the first time, just keep using Star Spin or Shooting Star on him. He attacks by charging. When the player gets his health down to five, he turns temporarily invincible, then disappears and starts to shoot lightning down the screen. The lightning shoots down either left or right, and is difficult to dodge. When the player gets him down to three health, he will try to inhale Starfy with his nose. Rocks will fly into Starfy, so be careful. If the player get caught in his nose, the player must keep pressing left and right on the d-pad to get out. If he/she doesn't get out in time, Mashtooth will swallow Starfy and must try it again. However, the best way how to get away from him is to dash but if the rocks hit you, just use your star spin to break them.

Second Form

Mega Mashtooth

He transforms into Mega Mashtooth and flies off the screen. Attacking him three times will do damage. He'll shoot even bigger bolts of lightning, however they are easier to dodge than last time. Once Starfy gives him a bit more damage, he'll fly into the background and start to throw meteors at Starfy. Use the Star Spin to deflect them and they have a chance of hitting Mashtooth, doing damage. Do a bit more, and he'll do both attacks at the same time. Once Starfy defeats him, he will throw the moon of Bunnera at Starfy. The player must rapidly press Y to deflect it. He'll throw it again, and this time it's even harder. The best strategy is to press Y until the player is tired out, then pause the game, take a break, and do it again. Once Starfy deflects that one, the moon slams into Mashtooth, defeating him and then a cutscene ensues. Apparently, Mega Mashtooth and the meteors he throws have a 3D look.
