'''Pulse Beams'''<ref>Walsh, Doug, and Epstein, Joe. ''Super Mario Odyssey'' Prima Official Guide. Page 25.</ref> are objects that appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They act similarly to [[Ring Burner]]s and [[Ring Beamer]]s in that they shoot a large ring of electricity, but unlike either of those, Pulse Beams must be activated by being hit with [[Cappy]] or enemies, such as [[Bullet Bill]]s, instead of being activated when [[Mario]] is close to them. Therefore, they do not seem to be sentient. Their electric rings can destroy some [[block]]s and clear fog in Mario's path, but they also hurt him and any enemies they touch. Additionally, the rings can cause other Pulse Beams to be activated when collided with them, which in some cases can cause an infinite loop. They cannot be destroyed by any means.

Pulse Beams reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, behaving identically to their first appearance, appearing in the Shiverburn Galaxy and the Grandmaster Galaxy. Unlike their debut appearance, this incarnation of them can be stopped by the Co-Star Luma but not destroyed.

Super Mario Odyssey

In Super Mario Odyssey, Pulse Beams were retooled with one spike instead of several and a black body instead of yellow. Unlike before, Pulse Beams do not pulsate automatically and must be activated by being hit with Cappy or enemies, such as Bullet Bills. Their electric rings can destroy some blocks and clear fog in Mario's path, but they also hurt him and any enemies they touch. Additionally, the rings can cause other Pulse Beams to be activated when collided with them, which in some cases can cause an infinite loop. They cannot be destroyed by any means.
