Template:M2 enemy The Final Starman is an enemy in EarthBound. They are the strongest Starmen of Giygas's army next to the Starman Deluxes and can only be encountered in the Cave of the Past. The Final Starman's initial status is PSI Shield β, rendering PSI moves useless against it until the shield is dispersed. They can use Brainshock Ω, PSI Healing Ω, PSI Starstorm α and Ω, Shield β, or flash a menacing smile to waste a turn. Final Starmen can be battled with a Ghost of Starman, a Nuclear Reactor Robot, or both.
The Final Starman appears on the boxart of EarthBound. The boxart represents a battle between Ness and the Final Starman, depicting a surreal swirl of color behind it and Ness's reflection in the Final Starman's visor. However, the scene depicted is not possible during the regular course of the game, as the souls of Ness and co. are actually in robotic bodies while they are in the Cave of the Past. An explanation of this could be that Giygas had a face similar to Ness's at a point in the game and that the Final Starman is really looking at Giygas, not Ness.
