Mario approaching some Pulse Beams in the Grandmaster Galaxy

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 Bills. Their electric rings can destroy some blocks 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.
