Pufftop (Tenkai, Sky World in Japan) is a kingdom in the sky in which Starfy, Starly, and Moe reside. It is magically floating over the ocean, and is lead by Starfy and Starly's parents the king (Papa Star) and queen (Mama Star). It is also the final stage in Densetsu no Starfy and the eighth stage in Densetsu no Starfy 2. Many of Starfy's grand adventures begin here.

In The Legendary Starfy it is the ninth stage and is unlocked only after beating the main game. Players can discover Pufftop Guard clothing for Starfy and Starly that will appear on the Nintendo DS's top screen when pausing on an area. If the player has both pieces of clothing, they will unlock a Special called "Pufftop Guard" in which Starfy or Starly will run around a small Pufftop replica while in their guard suit.

Major events

Starfy's adventure first begins in Pufftop, his home, when he accidentally drops several items into the ocean through his clumsiness. Among these items is the magic jar Ogura was sealed in. After dropping the jar into the ocean, storms strike Pufftop, sending Starfy into the ocean. Starfy is awakened by Old Man Lobber, and sets out on a quest to return to his home. Throughout his journey, Starfy makes many new friends in particular Moe, who always follows Starfy around assists Starfy with advice throughout his journey. Starfy eventually arrives at his home through the Sea of Sky along with his Moe. They find that Pufftop is in ruin due to its recent takeover by Ogura. By navigating through the derelict Pufftop, Starfy eventually encounters the infamous Ogura and battles him. Finally, after Ogura is resealed within the Jar, Pufftop returns to normal and Starfy's adventure ends happily.

Trivia

• Densetsu no Starfy 4 is the only game where Pufftop was never attacked.
• In Densetsu no Starfy 3 and Densetsu no Starfy 4, there is no playable stage of Pufftop, if one does not count cutscenes and some Minigames.
• The Jar that seals Ogura was always in Pufftop, possibly to prevent him from attacking places outside of Pufftop or to make sure he stays sealed, or both.
