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

The Starman Junior (Japanese: スターマンのむすこ Starman's Son), also written Starman Jr., is an enemy that appears in the Mother series. Two such Starmen appear as bosses in EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound; in both instances, it appears to be among the weakest models of Starmen.

— In-battle check

The Starman Jr. is the second boss of the game and appears in the Podunk City Zoo, where it is revealed to be orchestrating the animal attacks from a giant capsule floating in the middle of the zoo superintendent's office. After the Starman Junior is defeated, it flies away in the capsule, returning the animals back to normal.

In battle, the Starman Jr. utilizes very strong physical attacks and a variety of PK Beam attacks; its PK Beam γ can be reflected back at it if Ninten has the Franklin Badge.

EarthBound

A Starman Junior is revealed to have followed Buzz Buzz, a mysterious survivor of an enslaved Earth ten years in the future, back to Ness's time. After Buzz Buzz follows Ness and his group (which includes Pokey and Picky) home, the Starman Junior intercepts the group, and a battle ensues. Despite Starman Junior's arsenal of PSI Fire and PSI Freeze attacks, Buzz Buzz's repeated usage of PSI Shield Σ neutralizes any attempts to harm Ness and co., and the Starman eventually falls.

Trivia

  • Starman Junior's last line of dialogue ("I'll stomp you hard!") is used by one of the Frightbots during their invasion of Saturn Valley in Mother 3.
