==History==
'''Pulse Beams'''<ref>Walsh, Doug, and Joe Epstein (2017). ''Super Mario Odyssey: [[Prima Games|Prima]] Collector's Edition Guide'', page 25.</ref>, referred to as '''Cap Beamers''' in the game's code<ref>''Super Mario Odyssey'' internal filename (<tt>CapBeamer</tt>)</ref>, are objects that appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They act similarly to [[Ring Burner]]s and [[Ring Beamer]]s in that they shoot a large ring of electricity, but unlike either of those, Pulse Beams must be activated by being hit with [[Cappy]] or enemies, such as [[Bullet Bill]]s, instead of being activated when Mario is close to them. Therefore, they do not seem to be sentient. Their electric rings can destroy some blocks and clear fog in [[Mario]]'s path, but will also hurt him and any enemies they touch. Additionally, the rings can cause other Pulse Beams to be activated when collided with them, which in some cases can cause an infinite loop. They cannot be destroyed by any means.
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===

In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Pulse Beams are featured in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]] and the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]. They are stationary enemies that fire lasers in a circular shockwave formation when approached, which will damage [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] if he makes contact with them. They cannot be destroyed or stunned by any means.
 
===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===

Pulse Beams are obstacles in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. They function identically to their first appearance, appearing in the [[Shiverburn Galaxy]] and the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]]. Unlike their debut appearance, this incarnation of them can be stopped by the [[Co-Star Luma]] but not destroyed.
 
===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
Pulse Beams are obstacles in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. They were retooled with one spike instead of several and a black body instead of yellow. Unlike before, Pulse Beams do not pulsate automatically and must be activated by being hit with [[Cappy]] or enemies, such as [[Bullet Bill]]s. Their electric rings can destroy some [[block]]s and clear fog in Mario's path, but they also hurt him and any enemies they touch. Additionally, the rings can cause other Pulse Beams to be activated when collided with them, which in some cases can cause an infinite loop. They cannot be destroyed by any means.
