Toxic Swamp
Toxic Swamps are poisonous, purple waters which are harmful to Starfy and Starly. The player must usually use a vehicle to avoid harm from the swamp, or in the case of The Legendary Starfy, light emitted from a Glowing Mushroom to absorb the poison. The Capfish is useful in this case, as it always has a Glowing Mushroom attached to its head. Alternatively, the player can hop across on Giant Acorns. When Starfy or Starly walk on an acorn, it will roll, so the player has to be careful not to fall in. In The Legendary Starfy the player can also use the Air Jump and Glide abilities to jump across the swamp.
In Densetsu no Starfy 2
In Densetsu no Starfy 2, Torito teaches Starfy how to ride Sukebon. Sukebon is regularly used throughout the game to cross both toxic swamps and lava. Falling into a toxic swamp without Sukebon causes Starfy to start over from the beginning of the room.
In Densetsu no Starfy 3
In Densetsu no Starfy 3, toxic swamps appear in Flamer Volcano in level 2. They cause Starfy or Starly to lose one health point if they touch the water. Platforms may appear on top of the water. A torrent of poisonous water will push the platforms up.
In Densetsu no Starfy 4
In Densetsu no Starfy 4, there is poisonous water in Pulling Ahead Lake (Stage 4-3). In the story, Saimamy asks Starly to fix her Appliances so that the water can be purified. Touching the poisonous water deals 8 damage.
In The Legendary Starfy
Toxic swamps are found in the Sogwood Forest, they have purple water, and deal damage if Starfy makes contact with it. Capfish's caps (mushrooms) absorb the poison, as used in a Side Quest No. 11 "The Lost Treasure Chest".
