Star Beam

The Star Beam is a move that can be performed by all of the Star Spirits in Paper Mario. It can be used to take off any status placed on enemies by Magikoopas (such as Electrified or Invisible) or to negate Bowser's Star Rod power. It is successful against Bowser at first, but he uses the Star Rod on a sinister battle arena called the Power Platform, constructed by Kammy Koopa, to become so powerful that even that the Star Spirits are unable to neutralize its power with the Star Beam. With Twink's and Peach's help, it becomes the Peach Beam, which is finally strong enough to break through Bowser's Star Rod barrier during the climax of Paper Mario.
