I am pretty sure it should be Starfy since that makes sense, though I'm surprised since usually in this situation there would be a ー after the vowel that has the r (so in this case 伝説のスターフィー instead of 伝説のスタフィー)... Perhaps there is some insight a knowing speaker could shed? - Andlabs 00:08, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

I dunno. Brawl refers to the games using "Stafy", despite the character himself being called Starfy. --Peardian 00:36, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
I believe "Stafy" is the official romanization for Sutafī in Japan. It not only appears as "Stafy" in Brawl, but appears like that in the games themselves. For example, one of the costumes in Densetsu no Stafy 2 is a T-Shirt with "Stafy" written on it. When you open any of the games in a hex editor, the internal file names are "Stafy(x)", with Densetsu no Stafy Taiketsu! Daīru Kaizokudan having its internal file name as "Stafy5". In Super Princess Peach, there are also some unused files referring to Starfy as "Stafy".
In Japanese commercials for the Densetsu no Stafy series (e.g. here), Sutafī is pronounced with an emphasis on the 'a' as if it was an 'ar' anyway. Perhaps that may be a good enough reason to move the article to Densetsu no Starfy. "Legendary Starfy" is more of a literal translation (I think), but it would create confusion with The Legendary Starfy. The Wikipedia article about Densetsu no Stafy was once moved to Densetsu no Starfy, but the move was reverted under the discussion here I guess it depends on whether we want to be using the Japanese spelling in Japanese titles or not. --Torchickens 22:25, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

Opening Demo themes

Should the used variation of the opening demo music be uploaded too? For reference, the used version is here. Not fully sure and want to have clarity based on Proto:Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis)/Simon Wai Prototype, which just describes the differences in notes, although I figured it would take up a lot more space uploading the final songs to go with them in that case.
