Starry Noko is similar to that of a Noko, but its tail is star-shaped, and it has a star with a pair of antennae on its head. It's blue with cream-colored spots on the lower part of its body.
If asked about his stellar origins, he will grow very flustered and will quickly attempt to change the subject.
To befriend Starry Noko the player must perform a VIP link with both versions of the game, then collect 5 Golden Balls and use them in the VIP Crank-a-kai.
1: Talk to Sergeant Slug until he gives you a Golden Ball.
2: After buying multiple items from Seaweed Sensei's shop he will give you a Golden Ball.
3: If you do a VIP Patrol and befriend Arachnevil a cutscene will play and he will give you a Golden Ball.
4: A Golden Ball can be collected as a random reward by using the VIP coins received by High Gnomey in the VIP Crank-a-kai.
Starry Noko rarely appears at Wayfarer Beach after any Streetpass. He fights alongside three unbefriendable Pandanokos, and the game will automatically save before starting the battle. If the player fails to befriend him, the player will have to wait until the next day to have another chance.
"Tsuchinoko Seijin" translates as "tsuchinoko alien."
His English name is a combination of starry and Noko.
His French name is a combination of Noko and O.V.N.I.
His Spanish name, Estrenoko combines "Estrellado" (Starry) with "Tsuchinoko."
"Noko Estelar" is translated as "Star Noko/Stellar Noko."
Trivia[]
