Swanson At first glance, the game seems to similar to Kirby (cute creature with cute kirby-esque noises. I have a feeling it's the same voice actor). Anyway I actually found the game to be VERY similar to Super Princess Peach (also on the Nintendo DS). GAMEPLAY The gameplay is comprised of platforming mainly by swimming...(I guess because Starfy is a starfish..yet he's from a kingdom in the sky called Pufftop). In addition to swimming there are levels without water and some with a combination of both. Starfys main move is the star spin (press Y) and for 96 percent of all enemies you can defeat them with one hit. (The star spin can be upgraded). Starfy can also jump, glide/float, dash, double jump, slide and team up with the mysterious Bunston to form essentially a new character together (this also reminds me of Super Princess Peach's emotions but you cannot access Bunstons powers whenever you want like you can with Peach's emotions). This game is similar to Super Princess Peach in that Starfy is a "floaty" character which makes it easy to recover if you accidently misjudge a jump. Even If you do miss a jump, I find that there are not very many pitfalls that can kill you. The game is controlled by the d-pad and the bottom touch screen has four options: a mermaid who can gives you hints, a clam that's eyes sparkle when theres treasure in the room or alerts if there is a secret doorway to find a secret area, a screen which displays Bunstons abilities, and one of a lobster that tells you how long you have been playing. (In my opinion the most informative is the screen with the clam on it). I also found that you rarely die due to the fact that you have about 4 hearts and they can easily be replenished by the circular star coins dispersed throughout the game.(you can also increase heart power later on). You can save the game whenever you find a mermaid shell, or if you must you can "suspend save" which causes you to turn off your ds, but leaves you in the exact spot you finished with in the game. The levels itself were different and did not make me think I was simply playing a game I had before with another character. (There are enough differences in this game when compared to Super Princess Peach to keep it fresh). STORY There is a cute story attached to the game. I found the story to be of a good length, it's not long like an Rpg, but it tells some innocent jokes (that not all will find funny, but I did). The story set up similar to a comic book. ADDITIONAL FEATURES There are many secret areas to be found as well as treasure chests. (for the most part the treasure chest Items are really boring ex: you find notes by other characters or outfits for Starfy to try on). There are also minigames that can be unlocked. OVERALL The game is great for newcomers to gaming as well as those that love 2-d mario-like platforming. Even though the game isn't that challenging I really enjoyed this game and think it has great replay value. If they made a sequel I would buy it. 12 of 12 found the following review helpful: Three words: adorable, easy, and fun  Aug 11, 2009 By Jenn This game is adorable, easy, and fun. All of the special moves are clearly explained, and when you learn a new move, the game even pauses to explain it and give you a minute to take in the information before using it. I find that feature really nice. Everything is straight-forward- after all, it is an all-ages game. It's a good game for people who are just getting into the Mario-style games. I found it even easier than Super Princess Peach. 18 of 22 found the following review helpful: Love the game!  Jun 10, 2009 By Jacqueline Landin I agree 100% on this game! I bought it the day it came out and I love it! Unfortunately...there is one aspect of the game which I do NOT like. And that is with Starly, Starfy's little sister. I don't like how you can only access her with another DS console. I wish that it was kind of like Donkey Kong and that you can call on her and play her by yourself. But I am relieved that you don't necessarily need Starly in order to finish a level or to even get all of the chests. I think the feature of having another player play Starly is alright, but I would have liked to play her too. All in all, I do agree. I'm having a lot of fun with this game! 7 of 8 found the following review helpful: Great DS Game  Sep 11, 2009 By M. Lively Both my son (9) and my daughter (7) love playing this game. Lots of action for my son and lots of cute characters for my daughter. 4 of 4 found the following review helpful: Cute and fun for people that don't know much about games! :)  Feb 25, 2010 By An Opinion I am not very good at video games, but so far have absolutely enjoy this game. for me it is pretty challenging, even though for others it might be too easy. What I like about this game is that you can recover your lives quickly and get to pick up from where you left off if you happen to die. This is very cool for someone like me. I recommend it!!!
