The Legendary Starfy/Unused content
This page is a collection of unused content within The Legendary Starfy.
Unused Transformations
Sprites for three unused transformations, including a cockroach, a frog and a mermaid were ripped from the game [1]. It is unknown whether they were meant to be related to Bunston or not.
Cockroach
There are unused sprites depicting Starfy wearing a brown cockroach costume. It appears that Starfy was going to be able to fly and attack using its antennas. Unlike the Frog and the Mermaid, there is no Special in the final game depicting a cockroach.

Frog
There are unused sprites depicting Starfy and Starly wearing a frog costume. It appears that the player was going to be able to attack using the frog's blue tongue. There are sprites of Starfy wearing this costume that are similar to Starfy using the Turbo Swim ability. They are omitted from Starly's sprites, presumably because she cannot use this ability. Sprites suggest that the frog was also going to have a charge attack. There are sprites of Starfy and Starly sleeping and spinning around in a green ball, as if they were Dizzy.
In the final game, there is a Special called the Ribbit Costume (Japanese: ゲロゲーロ), which depicts Starfy and Starly wearing a frog costume similar to the unused sprites of the frog. However, Starly's version of the Ribbit Costume is orange, not green like her sprites of the frog costume.

Mermaid
There are unused sprites depicting Starfy and Starly wearing a mermaid costume. There are sprites of the mermaid making a hand gesture and moving her lips together, possibly as if blowing a kiss. There are sprites of stars surrounding the mermaid. The sleeping sprites depict the mermaid holding a pink bag and the mermaid withdrawing into its shell, similarly to the appearance of the save Mermaids. There are sprites of a large pink heart, circles of hearts and sprites of the large pink heart cracking.
In the final game, there is a Special called Mermaid (Japanese: マーメイドさん), which depicts Starfy and Starly wearing a mermaid costume similar to the unused sprites of the mermaid.

Unused object
There is an unused object in the game that depicts a tall yellow creature with long arms with a cream colored belly and mouth. It has two possible faces. Each face has pink cheeks. One of the faces is square-shaped and depicts the creature with its mouth open and its eyebrows raised. The second face is similar to an elongated semi-circle. It appears to have its eyebrows pointing down diagonally. The reason why this object exists is unknown.
Starly under Bunston's transformations
In the game, there are sprites of Starly wearing all of Bunston's transfomations and all of the unused transformations (apart from Cockroach). These are normally impossible to see, because Starly is only playable in Pufftop and in certain rooms where Team Play is available, which have no parts where Starly can transform.
Test rooms
The Legendary Starfy has numerous test rooms. They are described below.
Room 769
Room 769 appears to be an empty room. The whole of it is underwater. It has a blueish background. It has two wooden walls that block the left and right sides of the screen.
Room 770
Room 770 appears to be another empty room. It has a green/blue background. Unlike room 770, it isn't underwater. It has two wooden walls that block the left and right sides of the screen.
Room 771
Room 771 contains a pool of water that covers about half of the height of the room. It has a blueish background. It has two wooden walls that block the left and right sides of the screen.
Room 772
The whole of room 772 is underwater. It has a green/blue background. It has wooden walls on the north/west/east corners of the room.
Room 773
Room 773 has a large vertical space that is cornered by two walls. This room probably exists to test Starly's Wall Jump ability.
Room 774
Room 774 has two thin wooden boards which are raised from the ground and block the left and right of Starfy or Starly. It also has two wooden walls that block the left and right sides of the screen. This room probably exists to test the Duck & Slide ability and Starly's Wall Jump ability.
Room 775
Room 775 has two wide wooden objects which are raised from the ground and block the left and right of Starfy or Starly. It also has two wooden walls that block the left and right sides of the screen. This room probably exists to test Starly's Low Spin ability and Wall Jump ability.
Room 776
Room 776 appears to be a copy of room 775.
Room 777
Room 777 has a platform containing a large pool of water floating from the ground. It also has two wooden walls that block the left and right sides of the screen.
Room 778
The whole of room 778 is underwater. It contains some strong water currents to push Starfy or Starly downwards.

Densetsu no Starfy 4 backgrounds
At least some of the stage backgrounds from Densetsu no Starfy 4 appear in The Legendary Starfy such as Lobber's Cottage and Pulling Ahead Lake, but they are unused. These backgrounds sometimes appear in invalid rooms.
Leftover Japanese text
At least some of the Japanese text from Densetsu no Stafy Taiketsu! Daīru Kaizokudan appears unused in the English version. When forcing Stage name #31 on The Big Map, 'ステージ6' comes up. This text originates from the wooden board associated with Skydye Heights (Japanese: にじの海)
