In terms of gameplay, ''Starfy'' is very similar to the ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' series, except most of the game takes place [[UnderTheSea underwater]], and thus has a greater focus on swimming. Starfy originally only started with a few basic moves, but has gathered many more abilities, power-ups, and [[PowerupMount ridable animal buddies]] as the series has went along.

Widget Series has been renamed to Quirky Work as per TRS (it's also YMMV).


Despite the popularity in Japan, the series wasn't localized in English-speaking countries for some time. The reasons suggested vary. Generally, the school of thought being that the stereotype of [[AmericanKirbyIsHardcore Americans hating cute things]], or the games having unusually large amounts of dialogue for a children's platformer - almost every single stage has a storyline of its own, usually a fetch-quest for a friend of the level or something related to the plot. The official reason is that Nintendo thought the series was "[[WidgetSeries too Japanese]]" to bring to America.

* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: A minor example; the boxart for the American release is mostly the same to [[https://starfywiki.org/images/d/d2/The_Legendary_Starfy_JP_Boxart.jpg the Japanese box art]], except Starfy's now doing a Star Spin instead of simply floating in the water happily.
