	Nintendo and TOSE have co-developed games in the ''The Legendary Starfy'' series. The inspiration for the ''The Legendary Starfy'' series came from an instruction from Hitoshi Yamagami's boss in November 1995 to come up with some kind of 'floaty platformer'. Later in this game's development, [[Hitoshi Yamagami]] and TOSE producer [[Yasuhiro Minamimoto]] worked together to produce it. The game was originally a balloon-lifting game until plans were changed and the main character was decided as a starfish in an early version of ''[[Densetsu no Starfy (GBC)\|Densetsu no Starfy]]'' for the [[nwiki:Game Boy\|Game Boy]]. This character eventually became [[Starfy]], who was decided to be neither a star or a starfish.		Nintendo and TOSE have co-developed games in the ''The Legendary Starfy'' series.
