It's been a long time, Buzz Buzz. You've been successful at foiling Master Giygas's plans. But... Buzz Buzz, you must now surrender. You're no longer a hero, but just a useless insect. I'll stomp you hard!

Notable Techniques

• Laser Beam: The user fires a beam of energy to damage a target.

• PK Starstorm: The user summons a barrage of psychic stars to rain down upon all enemies and explode, dealing massive damage. It is not resisted by any enemies. The Starman Deluxe can use this at the Alpha level, and Ghost of Starman and Last Starman can both use this technique at the Omega level.

• PK Beam: A beam of psychic energy that damages a target. The Gamma level is capable of negating durability and destroying a target in one hit. Partially resisted by metallic enemies. While this has only been used by Starmen in Mother 1, this is a technique that every Starman should be capable of.

• PK Fire: The user shoots a burst of fire from their fingertips that damages an entire row of enemies. Only Starman Junior has been demonstrated to use this.

• PK Freeze: The user swirls a very cold wind around an opponent to inflict major damage. Has a 50% chance to completely solidify the target, preventing them from doing anything. Only Starman Junior has been demonstrated to use this.

• Healing: Removes status ailments depending on the level used. At the Omega level, it is able to cure colds, sunstroke, poison, nausea, strangeness, crying, diamondization, as well as being able to revive fallen allies back with all of their Hp. Starman Super and Final Starmen can use this.

• PSI Magnet: The user absorbs psychic power from a single target to add to their own. Only the standard Starmen have been shown to use this.

• Shield: The user creates a shield that reduces the damage of physical attacks and some non-PSI energy based attacks in half at the Alpha level. When applied it provides three layers that can each take one attack, though he is able to stack more layers by using it multiple times. The shield is instantly destroyed by critical hits. Only the standard Starmen have been shown to use this.

• PSI Shield: The user creates a psychic shield that completely blocks all offensive PSI at the Alpha level and reflects it back at the Beta level. When applied it provides three layers that can each take one attack, though he is able to stack more layers by using it multiple times. The shield is instantly destroyed by lightning based attacks. Starman Super, the Starman Deluxe, and Final Starmen can use this.

• Call for Help: The user calls for reinforcements. Starman Super can use this to summon standard Starmen, and the Starman Deluxe can use this to summon both standard Starmen and Starman Super.

Other

Standard Tactics: Most Starmen tend to attack by either firing beams of energy or using PK Beam. Stronger Starman types use their beams in addition to other PSI, with some being able to call for reinforcements as well. The Ghost of Starman in particular always leads with PK Starstorm Alpha, then it will wait for three turns and use Starstorm Omega

Weaknesses: None notable.

Note: Do not try to give Incorporeality or Intangibility to the Ghost of Starman as their name is a technical mistranslation. The official translation for their name is "Starman Ancestor".
