Starman: Difference between revisions

'''Starmen''' are a race of robotic aliens that appear in [[Mother|Earthbound Beginnings]] and [[EarthBound]], and have many different variants. They are [[Giygas]]'s main henchmen, alongside the [[Mook]]s, and because of this are very iconic enemies of the {{se|Mother|series}}. Despite this, however, they are completely absent in ''[[Mother 3]]''.

Starmen first appear in [[Mother|Earthbound Beginnings]] as very common enemies, first appearing in [[Spookane]]'s hotel as a boss, disguised as a hotel worker, and becomes a regular enemy from that point on. Starmen in-battle are capable of unleashing the deadly PK Beam series of attacks, including PK Beam γ, which can instantly kill one party member.

Starmen in [[EarthBound]] comparatively do not appear in their regular form as much as they do in [[EarthBound Beginnings]], only appearing in [[Stonehenge]] base. There are many other variants, however. Unlike most enemies, they travel by using teleportation, a trait shared with the similar [[Starman Super]].

A Starman trophy is obtainable in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], while a Starman sticker is obtainable in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], adding Attack +10 in the Subspace Emissary mode. Starman is now also a new assist trophy in Super Smash Bros. 4.
