Starfy using the Balloon

Balloon is an ability in Densetsu no Starfy and Densetsu no Starfy 2. It looks like a hot air balloon. When using it, Starfy holds on to the rope. It is taught to Starfy by Mekani-jiisan in both games.

In Densetsu no Starfy 2

In Densetsu no Starfy 2, Mekani-jiisan is found in World 2-3. The Balloon can be upgraded by meeting Mekani-jiisan again in the same location after defeating Ogura for the first time. The upgraded version unlocks extra secret stages in certain worlds in addition to the ones unlocked after completing the main game. With the upgraded version it looks more like a mini blimp. The upgrade allows Starfy to be able to move faster by using the B button.

Controls
