Starburst Psynergy series

Starburst (デンジャラス, Dangerous), Nova (デンジャラクト, Dangerlocked), and Supernova (デンジャフュジョン, Danger Fusion) are a series of Mars Psynergy featured throughout the. Starburst, prior to Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, was known in English as Blast (デンジャラス, Dangerous), a named shared with the first Psynergy in the Blast (Fiery) Psynergy series, which can occasionally lead to confusion, though the original Japanese names of the two Blasts were distinct. In addition, the series's visual effects in and  were shared with the Fire Bomb Psynergy series. The series was featured in a floor demo for Dark Dawn seen at E3 2010.

Basic Characteristics
Starburst, Nova, and Supernova are offensive, ranged Psynergies. The total amount of damage is determined by comparing the user's Mars Power to the target's Mars Resistance and using this value to modify the base power of the particular Psynergy.

The visual effects for each stage feature a large explosion which separates into a mass of fireballs. The explosion is larger and longer in duration with each progressive stage.

Availability
The availability of the Starburst series varies between appearances. In Golden Sun and The Lost Age, the series was unique to the Brute class series, available to the Venus and Mars Adepts of those titles. Venus Adepts required large amounts of Mars Djinn, while Mars Adepts needed Venus Djinn. Blast, as it was known then, was learned at Level 6, while Nova was learned at level 16, and Supernova at Level 40.

In Dark Dawn, the series is limited to the Guard class series, a mono-elemental class that serves as the base class of the Mars Adept Tyrell. He can access the series when no or only Mars Djinn are Set to him. Starburst is learned at Level 6, while Nova is learned at Level 15, and Supernova is available at Level 40.

Analysis
General: The Starburst series is midway in strength among the Power-based Mars Psynergies. Each stage has decent power, though Supernova's high cost can be a detraction. However, it can still see use in the classes it belongs to, due to its wide range making it flexible.

By Game
 and : The series is the most powerful multi-target Mars series available to the Brute. Since the Brute class is often used for its high Attack, the series can see use as a way to weaken multiple targets.

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn: The Starburst series replaces the Fire Psynergy series that was available to the Guard class in the GBA games. While the Starburst series is more powerful than the series it replaces, it is more expensive. Starburst will compete with Flare Wall, as both Psynergies are equal in power and PP requirements. Nova is slightly weaker and more expensive than Flare Storm, but has a wider range. Supernova, however, merely serves as a placeholder for Pyroclasm, which is significantly more powerful while being slightly cheaper, a noteworthy fact given the Guard's low PP multiplier. Thus, Pyroclasm remains the endgame Psynergy of choice.
