What genre is Starfy?

The genre of the series is a special kind of platform game called "marine platform", due to the game being more about swimming than running and jumping around. Players control the protagonist of the series, Starfy, throughout each game (sometimes Stapy in the third, fourth and fifth titles of the series). When on land, the controls are equal to the controls of most other platform games. When in the water, players can only move Starfy around using the control pad alone; however, if players want to make Starfy swim faster, they hold the A button down while moving him around. The games are usually comprised of multiple stages or worlds, with each stage split up into four sub-stages. Boss characters hide at the end of each world's final sub-stage. Most of the other sub-stages' goals are centered around retrieving a lost or stolen item for another character. Most power-ups are vehicles and costumes, some are new moves and some are upgrades for moves and other power-ups.

Starfy (スタフィー Sutafī) is the protagonist of the series. He is 7 years old and is 36cm (14.2in; 1ft, 2.2in) tall, and is a relatively easy-going, friendly character to get along with. He is a star, who lives in the Pufftop Palace (known in Japan as the Tenkai Palace, which literally means "Sky Sea Palace" in Japanese), and he is thought to be a starfish after falling in the ocean. Starfy can speak, but is often portrayed as being able to say "Fee!".
Pixel Art can be fun.
