The protagonist of the game.<br>''To the left is the Star Fighter as it appears in the first and second areas of each world. To the right is how it appears in the third area of each world, when it increases in size.''
As in the original [[Bosconian]] arcade game, you take control of the Star Fighter that the Federal Council had originally developed back in [[1981]] for a second time. It is now equipped with four different varieties of firing patterns, the colours and directions of which have been explained to you on the main page. It still has the ability to move in eight different directions, but is now always facing the top of the screen and moving upward while the background scrolls downwards behind it. It must still avoid contact with every enemy (except for the Jiara and Furemu Launchers in the background of World 3-3) and every shot fired at it, or it will lose a life and be sent back to the area's quarter-way, half-way or three-quarter-way checkpoint. It will also receive an extra life at every 80,000 points by default, but this setting can be modified.<br>''To the left is how the Star Fighter appears at normal size in the 1st and 2nd areas of each world. To the right is how it appears at larger size in the 3rd area of each world.''

Star Fighter (スターファイター)

File:BO Star Fighter A1&2.gif
File:BO Star Fighter A3.gif

As in the original Bosconian arcade game, you take control of the Star Fighter that the Federal Council had originally developed back in 1981 for a second time. It is now equipped with four different varieties of firing patterns, the colours and directions of which have been explained to you on the main page. It still has the ability to move in eight different directions, but is now always facing the top of the screen and moving upward while the background scrolls downwards behind it. It must still avoid contact with every enemy (except for the Jiara and Furemu Launchers in the background of World 3-3) and every shot fired at it, or it will lose a life and be sent back to the area's quarter-way, half-way or three-quarter-way checkpoint. It will also receive an extra life at every 80,000 points by default, but this setting can be modified.
To the left is how the Star Fighter appears at normal size in the 1st and 2nd areas of each world. To the right is how it appears at larger size in the 3rd area of each world.
