| | '''Pulsars''' are small, strange creatures covered in crystalline spiked armor with red eyes who inhabit [[Star Hill]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Pulsars have extremely high defense and powerful electric attacks such as "[[Static E!]]" and "[[Bolt]]". Pulsars are very dangerous as their kamikaze "[[Migraine]]" attack will either cause massive damage or instantly K.O., so it's best they be avoided, which is easy as only one appears in battle. |

| '''Pulsars''' are small and strange red-eyed creatures covered in spiked armor that appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. They appear as stronger variants of [[Cluster]]s, and can be found on [[Star Hill]] and in [[Bowser's Keep]] within one of the battle courses. Their names are derived from {{wp|pulsar}}s, radiation-releasing neutron stars found in distant nebulae; a Pulsar calls itself a "mini-pulsar" in its English [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] [[Thought Peek|thought]]. | |
| ==Battle==
| |
| Pulsars have extremely high defense, and possess powerful electric attacks such as [[Static Electricity]] and [[Bolt (move)|Bolt]]. A hint-giving man hiding behind a house in [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]] warns Mario to avoid attacking these "pointy monsters" if the party chats with him leaves for Star Hill. This alludes to the fact that Pulsars can perform the [[Migraine]] special attack; unlike Clusters, Pulsars will use the move as soon as they are hit. This will instantly [[downed|down]] a party member unless they [[Action Command|deflect]] the attack or wear an accessory such as the [[Safety Ring (Super Mario RPG)|Safety Ring]]. Their high defense also makes it unlikely that Mario and the party can actually one-shot the Pulsar otherwise. Upon defeat, there is a chance that a Pulsar will drop a [[Pick Me Up]]. | |

| *In the Japanese version, Pulsar's [[Thought Peek|thought]] instead reads「なぐったら、うんさんむしょうで おしおきよ！」(''Hit me and you will be punished when I go up in smoke!''). This is a reference to ''{{wp|Sailor Moon}}'', where {{wp|Sailor Moon (character)|Sailor Moon}} herself uses the catchphrase of "''In the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!''"<ref>Clyde Mandelin (June 29, 2020). [https://legendsoflocalization.com/the-pop-culture-obsessed-monsters-in-japanese-super-mario-rpg/#rupi-pulsar The Pop Culture-Obsessed Monsters in Japanese Super Mario RPG § Rupī / Pulsar]. ''Legends of Localization''. Retrieved July 7, 2021.</ref> This thought serves as a hint about the enemy's counterattack.
