- — Starman Deluxe
The Starman Deluxe is a boss in EarthBound. According to the EarthBound Player's Guide, it is a prototype that took so long to build that only one could be made. The Starman Deluxe is the final enemy found in the Stonehenge Base and is the de facto leader of said base. Upon its defeat, the captives being held in the base (Dr. Andonuts, Apple Kid, Tony, a Mr. Saturn, a Hippie and Sebastian of the Tessie-Watching Club) are freed.
The Starman Deluxe enters the battle with an automatic PSI Shield β, rendering any psychic attack on him useless unless Jeff uses the Neutralizer or the Shield Killer. During the battle, it can fire a beam, as well as put up another PSI Shield β. The Starman Deluxe is notable for being the first enemy in the game capable of using PSI Starstorm (only the α version). It also has the ability to call for help and have a Starman or a Starman Super join the battle, but the defeat of the Starman Deluxe automatically results in the defeat of all the other Starmen and Starman Supers that joined the battle. Once it is defeated, all of its henchmen retreat from the Stonehenge Base and are never seen again.
Trivia[]
- Despite how powerful the Starman Deluxe is, you can defeat it in the first turn with a single Multi Bottle Rocket due to its naturally high damage output.
