The Super Star (スーパースター, Super Star), known in older games as the Starman, is an item in all three games of the Super Smash Bros. series. As well as spawning normally, it can also be found in Capsules and Party Balls. It automatically bounces on the field and can fall off the stage. A character who touches the Super Star is granted invincibility for 10 seconds, though characters with a Super Star can still be hit by Isaac's attack and the Team Healer. CPUs tend to try to evade characters under the effects of a Super Star and in Melee; they won't even attack. In the same way that the Hammer comes with its own music, whenever a character is under the effect of a Super Star, special music will play in the background and the stage music will stop. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the music sounds just like it did when the player got a Super Star in Super Mario Bros. Unlike most items, the Super Star will jump around erratically, similar to its behavior in the Mario games. Fighting Alloy Team members in Multi-Man Brawl are able to use the Super Star, so one should be careful.
