    Not going to lie that this game is actually one of my favorites, it was far from perfect and too easy honestly but when you are a little kid looking for simplicity, this game does it right. This game is a platformer that is based on water levels.The water levels are the main focus of the game, that's pretty crazy to even think that would work.

I just remember playing this game with friends and also enjoying the minigames that they added in. Not the greatest game but it has a nice charm to it. I wouldn't recommend picking it up now since it seems like a game more for little kids… Expand

    A solid, well-made game that will provide hours of relaxing fun. [July 2009, p.89]

    For those looking for another impressive core Nintendo franchise to obsess about for the next few dozen years, Starfy is your man. Combining some of the best elements from games like Kirby, Donkey Kong Country, Little Nemo, and Mario himself, TOSE’s latest offering is a DS gem, and brings about more content and diversity than almost any other sidescroller on the system.

    If you can appreciate a unique and silly platforming experience that doesn't take itself too seriously, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more endearing title than The Legendary Starfy.
