Starly (known as Stapy in Japan) is Starfy's younger sister and a major character in The Legendary Starfy series. She is usually quite rude and always pushes Moe and Starfy to their limits to do something, although more responsible than Starfy. Only she can Crawl, Wall Jump and Low Spin.
History
Densetsu no Starfy 3
After Ogura escapes Pufftop, Starly interrupts Papa Star and Moe's conversation. Moe had never seen Starly before, so she introduced herself as Starfy's younger sister. Eventually she decides to join Starfy and Moe on their quest to find Ogura. She then pushes them both to the sea and jumps to join them.
Densetsu no Starfy 4
After Mattel tells Starfy and friends about the trouble at the Amy Kingdom, Starly talks about Ruby to Moe. She was most likely trying convince him to help her and Starfy save the Amy Kingdom to impress Ruby. Later, all three of them return to the sea.
The Legendary Starfy
In The Legendary Starfy, players can join one another, one of them playing as Starly. Starly has special moves players playing as Starfy cannot learn or use, such as jumping off of walls. She appears smaller (in-game) than Starfy, and is always seen wearing her pink bow. To access playing as Starly, Moe will ask Starfy if he wants Starly to join them. Players can also choose to "be" Starly via the select button to change the character shown in the Stuff menu, though this will not change the actual character in game.
Starly is featured in a mini-game called "Dumpling Master". She and the player make dumplings to give to Starfy, who then feeds them to Moe. She also makes 2 small appearances in other mini-games. One is after the results are shown for "Coin Slinger". Starly can be seen in the audience of stars. Another is in Fishing Derby. She puts bait in the water and Moe comes. Starly will be the only pink one wearing her signature bow!
After defeating the last boss, a new world will open up. It is Pufftop, and the player character is Starly in this world.
