For example, 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.”

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- one hosted on starfywiki.org (currently hosted by Michael (Talk), alias "Tappy", the webmaster of Hyrule.net) and an outdated one hosted on starfy.wikia.com.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.
Japanese
Colorful Planet
Colorful Planet is the the personal multipurpose website of mustard_pudding (Japanese: 洋芥子ぷりん) where they post their fan works based on Nintendo properties. The Splatoon series is currently their primary focus, but some works based on the Stary series and other properties are still hosted there. However, most fan works that were not based on Splatoon have been removed.
A former companion site to Colorful Planet under the name Sauce is Soy Sauce (Japanese: ソースはしょう油で) was also created by mustard_pudding. It was hosted on FC2. The site originally severed as a personal blog, but it is now defunct. That role has now been taken on by Colorful Planet itself among its other roles.
At This Late Hour (FC2)
At This Late Hour (Japanese: 今更, Imasara) is an abandoned Japanese blog previously run by Little Y (Japanese: りとるY) hosted on FC2. It was there Little Y would post their fan art based on Nintendo properties, mostly the Starfy series. The blog began on August 14, 2008 and was last updated on January 1, 2018.
The blog has since been replaced by Little Y’s personal X/Twitter account. While they still share their fan art of Nintendo properties, including the Starfy series, most of their tweets revolve around their experiences playing video games for the Nintendo Switch.
Starfy Alliance (FC2)
Starfy Alliance (Japanese: スタフィー同盟) is a website hosted on FC2 that hosts web banners for those who want to be a part of the titular Starfy Alliance. This alliance is informal, as all it takes to become a member is either using one of the site’s banners on your own website or simply proclaiming your love of the Starfy series if you do not have a website.
Original Characters (FC2)
Original Characters is a now defunct website established by So (Japanese: そー) that was hosted on FC2. It was made as a platform for people to share their own original characters. Early in the site’s history large sections of it were dedicated to fan works based on other properties, including the Starfy series. These sections were later removed from the site former, but they were still viable via an on site archive section. The Starfy series section was robust, featuring fan art, fan fiction, and fan games. Around 2020 the whole site, including it’s archives, was taken down.
So also runs a personal profile site with miscellaneous information about them. They used to list and link to many of their video games and websites, but all mention of those as also deleted around 2020. However, their artwork is still available via self hosted archives on the site.
Legendary Adventure (FC2)
Legendary Adventure (Japanese: 伝説のアドベンチャー) was a website hosted on FC2. The website offered tips, cheats and glitches for Densetsu no Starfy, Tomato Adventure, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and other games, such as those in the Quiz Magic Academy series. The website also had a blog and bulletin board. The website currently appears to be offline but cached versions of the main page and its Imadame glitch documentation exist.
