[[File:PK Starstorm M3.png|left|thumb|Kumatora using PK Starstorm in ''Mother 3'']] | |||
PK Starstorm (localized as PSI Starstorm in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'') first appeared in ''EarthBound'' and later appeared in ''{{s|wikibound|Mother 3}}''. In both games, the move involves using the character's psychic power to send down stars on enemies. However, in both games, neither Ness nor Lucas learn the move; instead the move is taught to their friends {{s|wikibound|Poo}} and {{s|wikibound|Kumatora}} respectively in story events. ''Brawl'' explains the inconsistency in both Ness' and Lucas' PK Starstorm trophies, saying that they were taught the moves by their friends specifically for ''Smash''. ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' offers a new explanation by having Ness and Lucas summon Poo and Kumatora respectively during the animation. | |||
In the description for the move in ''EarthBound'', it states that the move uses a method of "shaking off the stars". In ''EarthBound'', PK Starstorm can deal between 270 and 900 damage, and is available in both "α" and "Ω" tiers of increasing strength (the latter only becoming available during the last stretch of the game). In ''Mother 3'', the move can deal between 650 and 680 damage and only comes in a single, unlabeled tier. Also, in both games, the move is impossible for any target to dodge, but it can be reflected by sufficient PSI shields; this behavior does not translate into ''Smash''. | |||

The final smash now functions as a hybrid between the ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' variants, with the meteors being large and spawning in random positions, but the angle at which they travel can be influenced so that they are more likely to fly to the left or right of the stage. However since the spawn locations and angles are still ultimately random to a degree, the player has considerably less control than they did in ''Smash 4''. [[Paula]] and [[Poo]] join [[Ness]], while [[Kumatora]] and [[Boney]] join [[Lucas]]. | The final smash now functions as a hybrid between the ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' variants, with the meteors being large and spawning in random positions, but the angle at which they travel can be influenced so that they are more likely to fly to the left or right of the stage.

In addition, Ness' meteors are larger and deal more damage, but Lucas spawns a greater number of meteors, and as stated above the player generally has more control over his meteors. | In addition, Ness' meteors are larger and deal more damage, but Lucas spawns a greater number of meteors, and as stated above the player generally has more control over his meteors. | ||

*In ''SSB4'', one can dodge this Final Smash by going above the upper blast line. This can easily be done using Villager's Balloon Trip or R.O.B.'s Robo Burner. | *In ''SSB4'', one can dodge this Final Smash by going above the upper blast line.
