I feel like Starfy's mystique is inflated by how his games never came out in the West until the fifth one
Don't get me wrong, they're fun platformers but they're nothing mind blowing (sans the topics of dysfunctional family, death, and divorce)
It's kind of like Tomato Adventure
It's not a bad game but definitely one whose reputation being unlocalized and serving as the blueprint of the Mario & Luigi series made it seem much better than it really is
Not everything is like Mother 3
Still would've loved to see that sequel be made though
