English
Pufftop
Pufftop, named after the Pufftop kingdom of Starfy's family and friends is a Discord server managed by Tea and various staff. It is based on The Legendary Starfy series in general, and has continued to grow.
Pufftop was once partnered with a server called "Starfy Smashcord" but the partnership shortly ended "only a few hours later" due to issues with the server. Later "Ultra Konka Star" merged the server with a new one known as "Obscure fighters Unite For Smash".
The moderators of the server are referred to as the "Pufftop Guards"; a reference to the characters known as the Pufftop Guards, with other groups sometimes based on Lobber's Logbook ranks.
Salt Water Stafi
Salt Water Stafi, also known as Saltwater Stafi or SALT WATER STAFI was an English fan-site of The Legendary Starfy series run by Corbie Dillard, a writer for Nintendo Life; a video game blog and review website, where he is known under the username Corbs. On August 27th 2007, the website moved to its own domain name.
The website included links to the official websites for Densetsu no Starfy 1-4 and mirrored the Densetsu no Starfy 1-4 FAQs on GameFAQs, with permission from the original authors. The website also included links to Corbie Dillard's personal Starfy collection, a page summarizing the history of The Legendary Starfy series called "History of Stafi 101" and a link to an annotated version of the Densetsu no Starfy 2 Stage Select map (Note that the stage names are incorrect and that 'Kyorosuke's Shop' should be 'Kyorosuke's House', while 'HadeHirai's Photo Shop' should be 'Lovely's Shop')
In the comments of Corbie's Nintendo Life article, Starfy Finally Coming to North America!, Corbie posted on April 21st, 2009 that "Salt Water Stafi isn't gone yet" and is "just being reworked".
Starfy Translation Team
A Discord server currently dedicated to fan translating the Japanese Densetsu no Starfy games, which spun off from ROMHacking.net and User:Torchickens's own experimentation with the tools which Normmatt and Spikeman created since an unknown date (and Normmatt/Spikeman incorporated a variable-width font or VWF; and documented the byte-character table), in case anyone would attempt to apply a translation to the ROM.
User:Torchickens (current Discord name: "Melodic Evie the Bird Mother") has served as a sort of project coordinator with Pablitox. Torchickens stepped down, instead dedicating herself to requested translations only, with Higsby as a key translator with more experience than Evie. Additionally, though the project was stagnant at this early point in development, Blackmage907's initial font question created some enthusiasm to resume the project.
Evie stopped ROM hacking the Starfy games (due to her resigning from video game emulation and reverse engineering computer games), though intends to accept requests to translate text from the games for Densetsu no Starfy on her Google Sites page.
Due to both apathy and juggling projects, Evie has not been very active in translating the games, but is accepting translation requests for specific lines.
The Discord group is also currently not too active, but invites new people (however note: this may not be legal in law, perhaps depending on where the person lives and international relations, or a grey legality area), and a Densetsu no Starfy 2 (starfy-2-gba) division of it was created; hoping to begin work on Densetsu no Starfy 2.

Starfy Wiki
- Main article: Starfy Wiki:About
Starfy Wiki, known in full as The Legendary Starfy Wiki is a Wiki with various information about The Legendary Starfy series. The Wiki was founded on Wikia by BattleFranky202 (Talk) on May 30, 2009.
There are currently two Starfy Wikis - one hosted on starfywiki.org (currently hosted by Michael (Talk), alias "Tappy", the webmaster of Hyrule.net) and an outdated one hosted on starfy.wikia.com. This is due to the Wiki being forked by Michael (Talk) on to the new domain name in early January 2011. All of the pages were imported, while images were re-uploaded separately.
The choice for Starfy Wiki to have its own domain name originated from the local staff's desires for the Wiki to become independent and possibly become part of the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance (NIWA) — an alliance promoting Wikis about Nintendo to stay independent and remain outside of the control of external companies. Starfy Wiki became a member of the NIWA on April 28, 2011. It is also affiliated with a number of other websites including Colorful Planet and imasara.
General social media
The Legendary Starfy series is sometimes most discussed here. There are dedicated DeviantArt creations about Starfy (as with an equivalent Japanese community on Pixiv) and Starfy related discussions can be found through other mediums like Twitter.
