I wanna get the five stars!, known the same in Japanese, though games like this are often shortened to "Aiwana" (Japanese: アイワナ) is one of many Japanese games based on the PC game "I Wanna Be the Guy".
It was created by five Niconico users called Minazuki, Kurain, Doruppi, Mario and Carnival using the software GameMaker and has at least two versions. Version 1.0 was released on August 17th 2013, and Version 1.1 was released on October 6, 2013. [1]
There is a stage in this game based on The Legendary Starfy series. Kurain is credited as 'being in charge' of it in terms of its creation. Additionally, on the title screen a star-like creature can be seen five times. In the top-left section of the title screen it has pink cheeks like Starfy, but it may not be based on Starfy.
Gameplay
In this platformer game, the player has to clear five stages set in Star World from the Mario series. The protagonist, is named called the "Kid", like in the original I Wanna Be the Guy. He can jump up to two times (or infinitely in water) and shoot with his gun. There are occasional traps which are apparently meant to surprise the player and cause the Kid to die. For example, in the Legendary Starfy series stage, one of the traps has pink coral from the ocean floor rise up into the air and touching the coral will kill the Kid.
There are five red level 'marks' in the Star World, with each one holding a stage. The bottom course is based on Kirby's Dream Land 3, the left-most course is based on Densetsu no Starfy 2 and features Buirun from Densetsu no Starfy 3 as its boss, the north-left most course is based on the Mega Man 4, the north-right most course is based on Super Mario Bros. 3, and the right most course is based on Ganbare Goemon 3.
The Legendary Starfy series stage
The left-most course from Star World is based on Densetsu no Starfy 2 and features Buirun, a Boss from Densetsu no Starfy 3. Kurain is credited as being 'in charge' of the creation of this stage. The boss music that plays in the battle with Buirun is Boss Battle from The Legendary Starfy and he will fire balls (possibly electric) at the player.
The first section of this stage is set in a version of Lobber's Cave that is most like the version from Densetsu no Starfy 2, although the tune Torrent's Waterfall plays there, not Lobber's Cave. The enemies and obstacles there include Korasu, Bobfin, flying coral, spikes, Sukesuke and Kaiden like enemies.
At the end of the Lobber's Cave section there is a cardboard box that the Kid must enter, but apples that can kill the Kid fly out of it at first, including one giant apple.
After entering it, it leads the Kid to an ice stage where the tune Slippery Ice Alpine plays. Apples will fly out of the box again until eventually a big apple breaks two silver 'floor' blocks. Through the blocks is a large room with a Pingoon only capable of turning and a large rotating spiked ball. After pushing a button, the player can advance to an area where they have to use Barikkus as platforms, which alternate between their spiky (deadly) and brick forms. After the Kid pushes a switch to remove some spikes, there is a room past where the spikes were where two Mejiro can be found and a hidden Bu behind a rock.
West of there is a section with moving Korasu and another flying coral trap. When the Kid reaches the top of the room that follows, the scenery will change back to like Lobber's Cave again, and the Kid can jump up to an area where Buirun must be fought.
Buirun will attack will green and blue energy balls, possibly made of electricity which may split into a circle of smaller balls. When he is defeated, Buirun will leave behind a star and when the star is collected, the stage is cleared.
