History Anime / StarTwinklePrettyCure

%%* AmbiguouslyBrown: Elena has yellow hair and dark-colored skin.

The show focuses on a girl in her second year of middle school, named Hikaru Hoshina, who loves stargazing. One day, when drawing a picture of the nighttime sky, it turns into a fairy named Fuwa. At the same time, a rocket falls from the sky, carrying a girl named Lala Hagoromo and another fairy named Prunce, who come from the Starry Sky Region. They tell her about the Star Palace, a place where the 12 Constellation Princesses lived until evil magic turned them into Star Color Pens that she has to collect to restore balance in this world. Hikaru then decides to become a Pretty Cure to save the Starry Sky Region.

* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Elena has six younger brothers, who she often has to look after while their parents are busy.

* {{Mooks}}: Nottorei, humanoids who wore a gray space suit with the word "NO" printed vertically on their helmet (or "NOT" when you look at their collar/tie thing), serves as this. They were the first mooks in the franchise since ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'''s Choiarks.

* MagicMusic: Each of the girls sing when they transform into their Pretty Cure form.

* IdolSinger: Each of the girls sing when they transform into their Pretty Cure form.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Played with. The fairies, Fuwa and Prunce, speak Japanese right off the bat. Lala can't until Fuwa magically grants her the ability, but she can still understand Hikaru just fine. And when the villains arrive, Kappard is shown to be wearing a sort of [[TranslatorMicrobes translation collar]] that immediately picks up "Earth language".

* LittleStowaway: Hikaru sneaks into Lala's rocket in Episode 1 after Lala and Prunce takes Fuwa to their ship to escape from the incoming Knot Raiders.

* SignificantSketchbook: Hikaru's sketchbook summons the fairy Fuwa.

* HumanAliens: Lala's an alien whose species looks completely human aside from having pointed ears and nearly-transparent antenna. The Constellation Princesses also look largely human aside from a few of them having horns and various animal parts.

* ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler:Episode 1 ends with Lala's rocket falling down back to Earth due to receiving too much damage and is later shown to violently explode when it crashed on the mountains, with Hikaru, Lala, Fuwa, and Prunce still inside the rocket. Given that this happened in the ''first'' episode, it's a given that the four of them will survive.]]

* IdolSinger: Hikaru sings as she transforms into Cure Star.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Even untransformed, as Hikaru ends up getting sucked out of the ship in the first episode and is perfectly fine! (Though this may be an ability given to her by Fuwa.)

''Star☆Twinkle [=PreCure=]'' is the 16th entry in the ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' series, and the first entry in Naruhito's Era.

** Fuwa meets Hikaru the way mascots in this franchise often meet the lead Cures -- by literally dropping on her head.

* ScienceFantasy: This is a MagicalGirl show whose theme is outer space.

* ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler:Episode 1 ends with Lala's rocket falling down back to Earth due to receiving too much damage and is later shown to violently explode when it crashed on the mountains, with Hikaru, Lala, Fuwa, and Prunce still inside the rocket. Given that this happened in the ''first'' episode (and Lala's rocket being a different model compared to the rocket ship shown on the opening), it's a given that the four of them will survive.]]

** In the first ED, the Cures [[Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode draw a star]].

** Madoka Kaguya's surname Kaguya alludes to the protagonist of ''The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter''. The third kanji in her surname 矢 also alludes to her archery powers.

* MythologyGag: Fuwa meets Hikaru the way mascots in this franchise often meet the lead Cures -- literally dropping on her head.
** Not the first time [[Anime/DokiDokiPrecure Precure had "Madoka" as a name]], nor the first time a name had been used for a Cure as both a [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure surname]] ''and'' [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 forename]].

** Hikaru is not the first Cure to have [[StellarName "Hoshi" as part of her family name]]. That would be [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Miyuki]].

* GeniusBonus: When the Notraiders first show up on Earth, Hikaru refers to them as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Adamski Adamski UFOs]].

* HumanAliens: Lala's an alien whose species looks completely human aside from having pointed ears and nearly-transparent antenna.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: Elena is the first Precure who have dark skin to be featured in the main characters lineup. The first ever since [[Anime/HappinessChargePrecure the Aloha Precures.]]

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Even untransformed as Hikaru ends up getting sucked out of the ship in the first episode and is perfectly fine!

** BookEnds: The first episode begins and ends with a shooting star, although the second one is actually Lala's rocket burning up.
