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 . 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

Starfy wearing the Ribbit Costume that appears in the final game as a Special

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

Starfy wearing the Mermaid Special that appears in the final game

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 though 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

The unused yellow object with both of its faces

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.

Starly as Monstar

Test room

Starfy in the test room

There is an unused room that appears to consist of simply two wooden platforms raised from the ground. Starly can move under them with the Crawl ability, or jump off them with the Wall Jump ability. It can be loaded by forcing level ID 775 (0307h).

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

Forcing 'Stage name #31' brings up the Japanese text 'ステージ6'

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)
