Don't forget that Star Platinum can learn his "Stop Time" skill if the item is purchased in the New Game+ room. It has an SP cost of 200 but immobilises all other enemies for usually three turns (though a few times I had it where my allies recovered one turn while the foes recovered the next despite both being frozen at the same time, so there might be a bit of variation.) Every turn that passes still counts as a full turn for time limit purposes, though. (Such as the Nurse at the beginning of the game, the battle still finishes in three turns despite time being stopped. Enemies that recover health still continue to do so in stopped time as well.)

There are other benefits, such as the standard attack hitting twice and having much higher chance of critical hits, but that's about it for the skill.
