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

So previously when I played these Starfy games and completed them, I decided to come up with a few self challenges.
For example, I uploaded a video a few years ago where I bested a hard section with the Pony ability for Starfy 3 without the upgraded version.
Since then, I came up with other self challenges that I will list below:
*Beat the story The Legendary Starfy without collecting any treasure and health upgrades.
This one was pretty easy for me.
*Beat Big Bossdown with only the default 5 health and unlock World 10 under nine minutes as Starly
I actually did manage to do this one as Starly. It was kind of hard but it was also pretty fun too. It also helped that the Pearl Sprite was available every boss fight. If you want an even harder challenge, I would recommend beating every boss too without using the Pearl Sprite. I should record a video of this when I have the free time.
*Beat world 10 using only the default 5 health.
I haven't actually tried this challenge, but I would imagine that it could be difficult with the low health especially against Lobber.
*Beat all the stages using only Starly if possible (For Starfy 3 (post game) and 4)
Obviously, there will be sections where you will need Starfy to get through. In that case change to Starfy, then immediately change back to Starly.
*Beat all the bosses using only Starly (in Starfy 3 and 4 when viable)
I know its possible to beat every boss in 4 with Starly. But, it is impossible to beat the bosses that require Shooting Star like Gachatakkoru in the Wario stage and both forms of Evil.
*Defeat a boss without losing any health (every game)
Depending on the boss, this could be very hard to do especially when you get to the final bosses. I made a few videos where I perfected certain bosses on my channel. Its harder to perfect bosses as Starly as she can't avoid attacks as fast as Starfy can with his upgraded star spin. I still haven't been able to perfect Ogura in Starfy 3 using only Starly. ;;
Here is one I tried against Muga:
* Beat Starfy 4 using only the default 50 hp.
I've haven't actually tried this, but I'm sure it is possible. Just be careful of attacks that go over 25 damage as they can kill you in two hits. Otherwise, for the other higher powered enemies, you usually have 3 or 4 hits before you die. Fortunately, there are no attacks that can kill you in one hit.
*Beat Starfy 1 without the Ultra Star Spin
Since it is optional and all. The Mighty Star Spin was good enough for this challenge.
*Beat the Starfy games with the least pearls possible.
Its impossible to dodge every pearl, but it is possible to dodge some of them. You would have to actively try to dodge every pearl either by jumping, gliding, and/or swimming around them. Since pearls are a source of healing, you would have to be careful not to get hurt too much. You probably should only use pearls to heal when you have to go through them.
*Beat the Starfy stages defeating the least enemies possible.
Obviously don't hurt any enemies if you don't need to. Kind of similar to the pearls challenge.
