Unused The Legendary Starfy transformations

[Torchickens]

Recently, The Legendary Starfy section on Spriters' Resource was updated with sprites for unused transformations in game. Notably, there seem to be unused mermaid and frog transformations which would probably explain they exist as costumes in Stuff. More strangely though, there's an unused cockroach transformation, I wonder what happened to it?

For the Cockroach, they just didn't want you to be invincible. Yeah.

I always wondered about those costumes. Well maybe the frog would be too similar to Starpedo and the cockroach attack looks pretty devastating!! xD and for the mermaid....I don't know! xDD

They probably though Mermaid would be to weird and gender confusing, and the cockroach doesnt seem to be making Starfy happy and probably involved some gross or useless ability to make levels seem harder, as for frog I wonder why? It looks promising...

[captainmario111]

yeah that too. perhaps if a Starfy 6 is made then maybe they will resurface?

Maybe it'll be dLC
