Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U (Japanese: 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U), known informally as Super Smash Bros. 4 are the latest games in the Super Smash Bros. series for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, developed by Bandai Namco Games (when this was originally announced the company was known outside of Japan as Namco Bandai Games). They are the successors to Super Smash Bros. Brawl. A fourth entry in the Super Smash Bros. series was first hinted at in passing by Satoru Iwata at E3 2011 but development on the games had actually began later, after the release of Kid Icarus Uprising.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS was officially released on September 13, 2014 in Japan and on October 3, 2014 in North America and Europe, but some people got the Japanese game early. [1][2][3] Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be released during Winter 2014 in Japan, 'Holiday 2014' in North America and Europe, and Summer 2014 in Australia.

Relevance to the Legendary Starfy series

Starfy is an Assist Trophy in both Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, as he is in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Starfy walks around the stage and performs Star Spins before disappearing or falling off the stage. He can be attacked and can receive knockback in both the Nintendo 3DS version and the Wii U demo. The melody based on the beginning of Confrontation with the Boss from Super Smash Bros. Brawl also plays in both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U version.

Starfy re-appears as a regular trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, originally seen in a pre-release screenshot of All-Star Mode that was posted by game director Masahiro Sakurai on Miiverse.[4]

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Starfy appears as a profile icon among Assist Trophies.

Trophy description

Name Image Description Translation
スタフィー File:SSB3DS Starfy trophy.png 『伝説のスタフィー』にとうじょう登場した、空に浮かぶ王国テンカイの王子。ドジでおっちょこちょいとちょっぴり頼りないところももあるが、 がんばり屋。 お星さまのような、ヒトテのような姿の生き物。呼び出すと、近くにいるファイターに向かって果敢にスピンアッタック攻撃してくれる。威力は高くはないが体を張ってがんばってくれるのだ。 Debuting in "Densetsu no Starfy", he is the prince of the kingdom Tenkai that floats in the sky. He is a little careless and clumsy, but he does his best. He is a creature like a star in the form of a starfish. When called, he will Spin Attack boldly towards the fighters who are nearby. His power is not high, but he tries hard to give his body a stretch.(?)

History

On December 25, 2013, it was first revealed that Starfy would appear in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U via a picture of the day on the official Smash Bros. website, showing Starfy, a yellow Luma and Pikachu. [5] The picture of the day was also posted on Miiverse with the text "Pic of the day. Yellow characters." (Japanese: きょうの一枚。 黄色いいきものたち。, Picture of the Day. Yellow Creatures).[6][7]

Starfy's status in the game remained unconfirmed for a while, as the picture of the day did not confirm he was an Assist Trophy, and there was no page for Starfy as a new character on the site.

Later, two screenshots of Starfy appeared on the Mario Galaxy and Town and City stages, apparently as part of a press package release. Screenshots from it were uploaded to Flickr by 'Endless' in the first quarter of 2014.[8]

Starfy was confirmed as an Assist Trophy appeared during E3 2014 demo footage on the 10th of June, including the Super Smash Bros. Invitational tournament, where he appeared in matches.
