| | '''Starkisses''' are a type of [[starfish]] fought in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They are orange and are capable of standing upright. Starkisses are found in the [[Oho Ocean Seabed]], and attack by blowing a kiss at [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. The kiss takes the form of a small heart. The heart will travel slowly toward either brother, its path curving along the way. Mario and Luigi must [[Jump]] on it to counter. If hit, the brother will take minimal damage, but there is a small chance the kiss will affect the target's [[ATK-Down|attack power]], [[DEF-Down|defense]], or [[SPD-Down|speed]]. It has a total of 35 HP, so it is easily defeated. |

| '''Starkisses''' are a type of [[starfish]] which are fought during ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They are orange and are capable of standing upright. Starkisses are found in the [[Seabed]]. They attack by blowing a kiss at [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], which takes the form of a small heart. If a Starkiss folds its arms and head inward before performing this attack, it is targeting Luigi; if it instead tilts its body back and forth, the target is Mario. The heart travels slowly toward either brother, its path curving along the way. Mario and Luigi must [[Jump]] on it to counter the attack. If hit, the brother takes minimal damage, but there is a small chance the kiss will poison the target or affect his [[POW-Down|attack power]], [[DEF-Down|defense]], or [[SPD-Down|speed]]. | |

| In [[Gwarhar Lagoon]], after Mario and Luigi defeat [[Hermie III]] and take the [[Beanstar]], they encounter a friendly pink (red in the remake) Starkiss named [[Spangle]]. Spangle requests them to find him a stage to perform on. Mario and Luigi give Spangle to Hermie III in place of the Beanstar they have taken, and Hermie III, grateful, rewards them with a Soulful Bros. [[badge]].
| | == Trivia == |
| | *Littered among other remnants of sea creatures (such as the bones of fish and empty shells), the Mario Bros. can find what would appear to be [[star]]-shaped skulls lying on the ground of [[Teehee Valley]]. As Teehee Valley was once a part of Oho Ocean, it is possible that these are the strange skeletons of Starkisses. |
| | *In [[Gwarhar Lagoon]], a purple Starkiss named [[Spangle]] requested the Mario Bros. to find him a stage to perform on. The ornately-decorated shell of [[Hermie III]] served this purpose, and the latter rewarded them with a Soulful Bros. [[Badge]]. |
| | *For some reason, it is healed by [[Thunderhand|thunder]]. |

| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Starkisses appear as enemies in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. They are ranged troopers, and they attack by spitting hearts at the minions. Their special skill, Spitfire Fury, allows them to spit multiple hearts at an enemy. They are light enemies, causing them to have high speed. Two Starkisses appear as part of the Star Angels group during [[Wendy]]'s cutie battle contest, along with Spangle and [[Starlow]].
