Item class	Duration/Attachment

This article refers to the item from the Mario universe. For the enemy from the Earthbound universe, see Starman (EarthBound).

The Starman is an item in all three games of the Super Smash Bros. series. As well as spawning normally, it can also be found in Capsules and Party Balls.

• A character who touches the Starman is granted invincibility for 10 seconds. CPUs tend to try to evade such a character.
• In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the music sounds just like it did in Super Mario Bros.
• Unlike most items, the Starman will jump around erratically, similar to its behaviour in the Mario games.
• Characters with a Starman can still be hit by Isaac's attack and the Team Healer.
• Fighting Alloy Team members in Multi-Man Brawl are able to use the Starman, so one should be careful.

Starman as a trophy in Melee

Trophy #250
This item makes you invulnerable to all attacks for a short period of time. The Starman bounces around and eventually tumbles out of the stage, but all you need to do is touch it to power up. It possessed similar powers in Super Mario Bros., except you could also harm enemies just by touching them while under its influence.

Super Mario Bros. (10/85)

In Brawl

An erratically bouncing item that is hard to catch. If you can grab it, though, you'll be invulnerable to all attacks for a short time. In addition, no one will be able to grab or throw you, either. Make the effort to grab the Starman when it appears--watching your opponents turn and run from you makes it all worthwhile.
