List of Easter eggs

Easter eggs are intentional hidden messages, inside jokes or hidden features in video games and other media. The Legendary Starfy series features a few Easter eggs. Easter eggs are not to be confused with cameos or glitches.

In Densetsu no Starfy

Shocked Starfys coming out of the Tone of Ocean instrument.

• When playing a tune in the Sea Jams, a shocked Starfy can occasionally be seen coming out of Wotsaruto's Tone of Ocean instrument among musical notes.
• Playing "Tone of Ocean?" in the Sea Jams will cause only shocked Starfys to come out of Wotsaruto's Tone of Ocean instrument, likely because it is a badly out of tune version of the series Title Song, originally known as "Tone of Ocean" before The Legendary Starfy.

In Densetsu no Starfy 2

• After beating a boss, there is a one in ten chance that Moe's siblings will appear in the background during the dance instead of the fish.
• In the Sea Jams, playing "Yanki Kigurumi" (page 3, second to last tune) causes Moe to apparently sing using the microphone. He looks like he is laughing and two jagged flashes of 'lightning' can be seen above him. Starfy meanwhile, starts running back and forth with a shocked expression. Stopping the tune puts Starfy and Moe back to normal.
• The layout of map 8 (which can be viewed with the Nintendo Official Guidebook) of Large Tree's Forest (Stage 5)'s area 5 in Densetsu no Starfy 2 has 'floor blocks' in the air that resemble a person jumping up with their arms and legs pointing upwards. This is the last map before the boss battle with Numan.

In Densetsu no Starfy 3

• Under unknown circumstances, after a boss battle and during the dance, a giant angry non-animated version of Moe with the front hinge of his shell open will move across the screen. It replaces the fish.
• In the Sea Jams, playing Boss Battle, Defeat Ogura, Jashin Evil, Minigame 2, Starfy Dance or Tone of Ocean Rock changes Starfy and Starly's guitars to more fancy ones that look a little like the Legendary Guitar. Starfy's is red, and Starly's is blue. Starfy, Starly, Wotsaruto and Moe also start to wear sunglasses. Moe starts to wear a black wig. Things turn back to normal when the tune is stopped.

In Densetsu no Starfy 4

'Hazure' blocks

• Starfy, Moe and Starly pull off expressions when they are touched on the title screen, with different expressions between the initial and post-game unlockable title screen. See the title screen expressions heading for more information.
• If the player battles Geishachi again after beating the game once, a radio can be found with a 'げきむず' speech bubble (which gives the impression that it can increase the difficulty of the boss battle) and if Starfy or Starly use a Star Spin on it, it will play an Asian shamisen version of the Title Song called Tone of Ocean Shamisen, causing her to play a bunch of notes, and making it harder for Starfy or Starly to defeat her.
• Past Tobira Majin in Dejiru's Castle area 3, in map 18 there are four doors that lead to two rooms that have just the katakana 'ハズレ' in them written in blocks, as well as spikes, a Gein enemy, and other blocks that don't spell out a word. These are accessible from the same room where there are two doors that lead to a room with the Dejiru's Castle music chest. 'ハズレ', romanized as hazure ('はずれ' in hiragana or '外れ' with a kanji character and hiragana) has several meanings including 'edge', 'end', 'outskirts' and 'blank' as in the idiom 'drawing a blank'. It could possibly be referring to drawing a blank, because Starfy or Starly did not go to the correct room with the music chest and found nothing significant.

Sea Jams Easter eggs

• If the player chooses to play Dejiru's Theme 2 or Ending 2 in the Sea Jams, Starfy and Starly will wear sunglasses, the microphone will change into a pink thing apparently with a ribbon shaped part, and Mattel will turn into Lovely. These changes are reverted after the music is stopped.
• If the player touches one of the fish on the Sea Jams and nothing is overlaying the fish, Dejiru's laugh, the sound effect when Lovewizumi appears or the Mermaid's 'hi hi' sound effect played when saving may play.
• After a certain period of time with no tune playing, Moe will get a sweat bubble and Starfy will apparently pull a string on his violin (four lines are seen near the violin) but then pull off a disappointed face with 'empty black circle eyes'

•

Title screen expressions

On both the initial title screen and the 'post-game' unlockable title screen, the player can touch Starfy, Starly and Moe to have them pull off different expressions.

Initial title screen

• Touching Starfy causes him to pull off a shocked expression with his eyeballs protruding, before falling down on his front side.
• Touching Moe causes him to wink with his left eye and have a star come out.
• Touching Starly once causes her to pull off a mildly annoyed looking expression, touching her again causes her to become more annoyed, turning to her right side and moving her arm, and touching her a third time causes her to clearly become angry, showing angry eyes and opening her mouth. The expressions 'loop around', so touching Starly for a fourth time causes her to pull off her first expression.

Post-game title screen

• Touching Starfy causes him to close his eyes, pull off a large grin, then spin around counter-clockwise.
• Touching Moe causes the shape of his eyes to change so they look more angry, Moe to put the two hinges of his shell together for a moment, and have a red mark appear on his face, presumably indicating anger.
• Touching Starly causes her to close her eyes, pull off a sad face, move her face down slightly and apparently hold her breath, as her cheeks are enlarged. Touching Starly for a second time does not make her pull off a second expression.

In The Legendary Starfy

Herman replacing Moe and guitars replacing maracas in the Sea Jams.

• In the Sea Jams, when Wireless Options or The Squirts' Drums is played, Moe is replaced with Herman and Starfy and Starly will play with guitars instead of maracas (Starly) and drums (Starfy).
• In the Sea Jams, fish can be moved around by touching them on the Touch Screen and flicked by letting go off them.
• When a tune is playing in the Sea Jams, musical notes will appear. If the player uses the stylus to throw fish from the bottom screen on to the musical notes, the first part of the series Title Song will play. This can be done three more times in succession to play extra parts of the song.
• There is a different Game Over screen for when the player is defeated by Mashtooth or Mega Mashtooth. The screen is purple and Starfy is on it collapsed. An outline of Mashtooth can be seen and it is filled in red, with his eyes shown. Dark blue 'flames' can be seen. Unique to this Game Over screen, the player can choose to try again rather than continue from the last save by selecting that option (which is written in larger text). If the player continues either from the boss battle or the last save, Starfy on the Game Over screen will stand up showing a pose like he is determined to beat Mashtooth. If the player chooses to return to the title screen, Starfy shakes a little, goes 'fii' in a sad tone, and does not get up.
