Starmen originated in ''Mother'' and later reappeared in ''EarthBound'' in several variants, both as regular enemies and as bosses. They are part of {{iw|wikibound|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 the ''EarthBound'' series when an attack deals a critical hit.

:''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.''
