Mashtooth (Dairu in Japan) is the main villain and final boss in The Legendary Starfy. He was the leader of The Terrible Trio, known as the Dairu Pirate Squad (ダイール 海賊団) in Japan, until their betrayal. Mashtooth was eventually defeated by Starfy, with the help of many others. 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 facing him.

Boss Battle

First Form - Mashtooth

At first, Bunston tries to help Starfy by turning him into his Monstar transformation, but it ends up with Mashtooth having a forcefield. The player loses the Monstar fight, and then reverts back to the normal Starfy. To defeat him in his first form, the player can 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 at least three health, he will try to inhale Starfy with his nose and rocks will fly into Starfy. If the player get caught in his nose, the player must keep pressing left and right on the D-pad in order to escape. If he or she doesn't get out in time, Mashtooth will swallow Starfy and the player must try it again. However, the best way to get away from him is to dash. A Star Spin can be used to break the rocks.

• "It's Mashtooth himself! Famed for his lightning and charge attacks.
  Even his nostrils are scary! Um... I think I hear my mollusk calling. Gotta go, bye!" (No. 079)

Second Form - Mega Mashtooth

Mega Mashtooth

After the defeat of Mashtooth, he will inhale Bunston and absorb his powers, transforming Mashtooth into the much more powerful Mega Mashtooth (Strongest Dairu, さいきょうダイール in Japan); who grows huge yellow wings and becomes incredibly large. Mega Mashtooth, later flies off the screen and into space. Starfy, who is assumed to be unconscious remains unable to battle until the encouragement of The Terrible Trio, Moe, Bunston, and others gives Starfy the power to fight Mega Mashtooth.

The power invoked by Starfy's friends is so powerful that a large aura surrounds Starfy, allowing him to fly into space and attack Mega Mashtooth face to face. Mega Mashtooth will 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. Using the Star Spin to deflect them has chance of hitting Mashtooth, doing damage. At even lower health, 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, or slide the Y button using the stylus. He'll throw it again, and this time it's even harder. If the player fails to deflect it, the moon will go into the background and destroy Starfy. Once Starfy deflects the moon again, it slams into Mashtooth, defeating him and then a cutscene ensues. Apparently, Mega Mashtooth and the meteors he throws have a 3D look.
