 * This article is about the enemy in EarthBound. For the enemy in, see Starman Jr. For different Starman variants, see Starman (disambiguation).

Starman Junior is an enemy in EarthBound and might even be considered the first boss. It appears a short while after Ness meets Buzz Buzz and explains that Giygas sent it back in time to stop Buzz Buzz from finding the heroes who could stop Giygas and fulfill the Apple of Enlightment's prophecy. The Starman Junior has several potent PSI attacks, being capable of using both PSI Fire and PSI Freeze, but Buzz Buzz is able to block all of them with PSI Shield Σ. Unable to land any attacks, the Starman Junior is quickly overpowered.

Although the Starman Junior shares its name with a boss in, it is never specified if the two are the same specimen.
