Starman

Just one kooky subset of the diverse cast of enemies in EarthBound, these strange creatures are aliens in the employ of Giygas. Variations of the Starman race include Starman, Starman Jr., Starman Deluxe, and Starman Super. They all use PSI powers, but their strength differs depending on the level on which they're found.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The Starman's only appearance in Brawl is as a sticker.

Starman (EarthBound)

In Super Smash Bros. 4

A Starman in Smash Run.

The Starman appear as both a Smash Run and as an Assist Trophy, with the same behavior. They teleport around, and then attack with two possible variants of PK Beam: PK Beam γ, which is a single focused beam attack, and PK Beam Ω, which is a barrage of beams in all directions. The beams can be reflected.

The assist trophy Starman can be defeated, and when it is it is sent flying with a "SMAAAASH!!" graphic appearing. The "SMAAAASH!!" graphic also appears if the Smash Run version of Starman is hit by its reflected PK Beam, which will also defeat it in one hit.

Trophy information

The Starman trophy appears in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U it is part of the Mother Series Trophy Box.

Starman

These alien henchmen serve Giygas, the chief villain of EarthBound. In Smash Bros., the assist trophy Starman will teleport around and fire off PSI moves like PK Beam γ or PK Beam Ω. You can defeat one summoned by an opponent, but they won't go down without a fight.

Origin

Starmen originated in Mother and later reappeared in EarthBound in several variants, both as regular enemies and as bosses. They are part of Giygas's army in both games. Their teleportation ability is a reference to how they move in the overworld of EarthBound.

The "SMAAAASH!!" graphic appearing when a Starman is defeated is a reference to the message which appears in Mother and EarthBound when an attack deals a critical hit.

PK Beam is a PSI attack featuring only in Mother, where it was used by Starmen.
