'''Star Crusters''' are creatures in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. They appear in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] the second time it is visited, alongside much weaker creatures. Star Crusters seem to be a more powerful version of [[Crusty|Crusties]]. Like Crusties, Star Crusters have extremely high physical attack and defense, but low magic stats. In battle, a Star Cruster will only use its normal attack on its own turns; if hit with a normal attack, however, they will immediately counter with a projectile that puts the attacker to [[Sleep]]. Though they seem to be crab-like, Star Crusters deny being crabs and seem to be especially offended when labeled as such. Their English name is a pun on "{{wp|star cluster}}."

Variant of Crusty

Star Crusters are a stronger variant of Crusty in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. Their name is a pun on "star cluster." They appear in Bowser's Keep the second time it is visited, alongside much weaker creatures. Like Crusties, Star Crusters have extremely high physical attack and defense but low magic stats. In battle, a Star Cruster uses its normal attack on its own turns; if hit with a normal attack, however, the Star Cruster immediately counters with a projectile that puts the attacker to sleep. In the original game, Star Crusters deny being crabs in their thought, which appears to be a misunderstood reference to the 1987 Famicom game Sanma no Meitantei, joking about the game's use of a crab for its cursor.[1]
