| First appearance | Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (1996) |

| 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 Psychopath quote, which appears to be a mistranslation.
