They create ringed lasers that spread outwards from them, and unlike their [[Spring Vault]] and [[Ball Beamer]] variants are protected from above by a spiked top.

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:SpikedStunnerRobot.png|left|thumb|150px|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Galaxy'', depicting a Pulse Beam's original design]]
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.

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 still cannot be 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.
