Starkisses are a type of starfish which are fought during Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They are orange and are capable of standing upright. Starkisses are found in the Oho Ocean Seabed. They attack by blowing a kiss at Mario and Luigi, which takes the form of a small heart. If a Starkiss folds its arms and head inward before performing this attack, it is targeting Luigi; if it instead tilts its body back and forth, the target is Mario. The heart travels slowly toward either brother, its path curving along the way. Mario and Luigi must Jump on it to counter the attack. If hit, the brother takes minimal damage, but there is a small chance the kiss will poison the target or affect his attack power, defense, or speed.

In Gwarhar Lagoon, after Mario and Luigi defeat Hermie III and take the Beanstar, they encounter a friendly pink (red in the remake) Starkiss named Spangle. Spangle requests them to find him a stage to perform on. Mario and Luigi give Spangle to Hermie III in place of the Beanstar they have taken, and Hermie III, grateful, rewards them with a Soulful Bros. Badge.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, Starkisses appear as enemies in Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser. They are ranged troopers, and they attack by spitting hearts at the minions. Their special skill, Spitfire Fury, allows them to spit multiple hearts at an enemy. They are light enemies, causing them to have high speed. Two Starkisses appear as part of the Star Angels group during Wendy's cutie battle contest, along with Spangle and Starlow.
