The Legendary Starfy, known in Japan as Densetsu no Stafy Taiketsu! Daīru Kaizokudan (伝説のスタフィー たいけつ!ダイール海賊団?, lit. "The Legendary Stafy Confrontation! Daīru Pirate Squad"), is a marine platform video game developed by Tose and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console. It is the fifth game in the The Legendary Starfy video game series.

Returning from the previous four Starfy titles are the costume series of power ups - this time, it is a ghost, dragon, chicken, and an ice-tailed seal costume. Unlike other games in the series, instead of touching a costume, Starfy touches Bunston's thought bubbles to put on a costume. The game also has DS wireless co-op play in select areas and boss fights, where one person controls Starfy and the other controls Starly. Only one cartridge copy of the game is required for this feature. Five different minigames are offered, one of them a cooking game starring Starly. Returning from earlier entries in the series is the wardrobe collection in which players dress Starfy and Starly in different outfits.

This endearing DS platformer is sickeningly cute but a little too light on challenge and complexity.

Nintendo's mascot makes his US debut in this suprisingly fun adventure.
