I'm sort of glad torchickens invited me here, there was something I can't see anyone but dedicated fans interested by.
Well, there was that Octopus boss on the first world, and I ran into an unexpected glitch fighting him. When I dealt the last hit with a spin, and the "event" would start where the game moves Stafy automatically to the ground and proceed when he hits the ground, Stafy just... clipped through the ground and continued to fall endlessly. The game hanged there, just the animations of the hurt boss and the background still looping.
Anyone ran into a similar glitch?

I experiences similar glitches all the time on SNES and GBA games. Maybe sprite-based games just have these issues. Does it do it every time or just sometimes?

I think I may have heard of that clipping thing on TVTropes. Were you the one who added it? I haven't experienced that, but I've encountered a few unexplained glitches in the Starfy series; for example one time when I booted up my Densetsu no Starfy game the save files looked like this. I have read that Starfy 1 uses a battery save instead of flash memory, so food for thought is that may be related.  One of the other unexplained(?) glitches is that when you are completing the Picture Book in Starfy 3, the Picture Book may (rarely) tell you that you have registered the wrong amount. Sadly I don't have a screenshot for verification. Additionally, in Starfy 3, during the boss fight with altered Ogura's second form, it is possible for Altered Ogura to fire his laser around at a high speed with no health points left. That is another glitch with an unknown cause. |

Hello, I'm Tony. Sometime ago, I found a SRAM glitch in Starfy 5 where it corrupted the save data to beat the game fast. You might have seen this TAS I did a while back in April of last year: tasvideos.org/5067S.htmlI found this by complete accident, and there's a couple of things that have intriged me since then. Like, how did this even happened, how to replicate it on console, how to perform this glitch consistently so it could be useful for speedruns, etc. I appreciate some thoughts or advice on the matter, thanks. |

Hi Tony . I watched your TAS too and found it interesting. I don't know for sure and am unfamiliar on how DS save files work, but I think it may be worth resetting the game frame after frame until a favourable corruption happens. I know for instance the Starfy 1 SRAM glitch happens after 36 frames after pressing Start, and if I remember rightly any later would result in a successful save file. Hope you or somebody else is able to figure this out soon. |

Just bought three physical copies of Starfy 1-3 so I could finally own them legally. Hopefully if Starfy 6 becomes a thing, it'll revive the forum 
(End of sad rant… I think. 10 shoutbox messages, wow!)
