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''.

{{iw|wikibound|PK Beam}} is a PSI attack featured only in ''Mother'', where it was used by Starmen, as well as [[Ana]].

:''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.''

A Starman appears both as a [[Smash Run]] enemy and as an [[Assist Trophy]], with the same behavior. It teleports around and attacks 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 [[reflect]]ed.

===Trophy information===

The Starman trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Mother Series'' [[Trophy Box]].

:{{Flag|North America}} ''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.''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''Starmen, the evil Giygas's henchman in the Mother series, are renowned alien space assassins. Summon one in this game, and it'll teleport about, firing off attacks like PK Beam γ, which targets a foe, and PK Beam Ω, which fires across the whole stage in up to four directions. Starmen can be taken out, but...not easily.

Starman returns as an Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', acting similarly to how it did in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. [[Training Mode]] describes their Assist Trophy: ''Warps around the stage, firing shots created from PSI.''

*The Assist Trophy and Smash Run versions use different skins. They use their grey colours from ''Earthbound'' as an Assist Trophy, and their white colours from ''Mother'' in Smash Run.

*The PK Beam projectiles look similar to the ones that [[Ness]] and [[Lucas]] shoots from their [[PK Fire]] projectile.
