Join Starfy, his sister Starly and his best friend Moe in the swimming trilogy of live action and adventure games available on the Game Boy Advance system.”

Fortunately, he is rescued by an old crab named Lobber, who takes his lovable hero on a grand journey to Pufftop.

The legend begins here!

Ogura – the villain from the first game – is back to get revenge on Starfy, and this time he’s got Mama Star in his sights.
