Throughout the four levels, Starfy manipulates several forms of Wario like with Bubble Wario and Puffy Wario to proceed through puzzle rooms, such as igniting Wario so he becomes Flaming Wario, for Starfy to then ram the ground Flaming Wario is running over from underneath to help him clear hurdles in order to get to and destroy the Bonfire Block at the end of a room. After each level of Kaitei Iseki barring the fourth, Wario gives Starfy various treasures for his effort, those being the Wario Cap, the WarioWare, Inc. and the Nose and Moustache set treasures in that respective order.
