Starfish or star? Who knows! YouTuber The RPG Mongers joins as we chat about the Starfy series, one of Nintendo’s most underrated platformers! Mostly a Japan only franchise, it’s recently gained new popularity thanks to a worldwide NSO release. We explore its tumultuous development origins, dive into how it’s unique from other platformers, and try to craft Starfy’s ultimate Smash moveset. Also I give some final thoughts on the monsterific The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom!
