| '''Star Crusters''' are a stronger variant of [[Crusty]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. Their name is a pun on "{{wp|star cluster}}." They appear in [[Bowser's Castle|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 Peek|thought]], which appears to be a misunderstood reference to the 1987 [[Family Computer|Famicom]] game ''Sanma no Meitantei'', joking about the game's use of a crab for its cursor.<ref>Clyde Mandelin (June 29, 2020).

| | '''Star Crusters''' are creatures in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. They appear in [[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. |
