He walks around the stage pushing other items along with it and can break shields very easily. He also cries when he makes contact with an opponent. If thrown, will deal very little damage and knockback, but can be used repeatedly, as he does not disappear after one use. Mr. Saturn gives off a large amount of stun when it hits an opponent, making it great for combos. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, there are various bonuses related to Mr. Saturn. Mr. Saturn will also break the shield of any character who is hit by one being thrown.

• Direct smash throw does 11% damage.
• Tap A throw does 8% damage.
• When dropped does 6% damage.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Lucas makes his entrance riding in on Mr. Saturn's coffee table.

Origin

A Mr. Saturn as it originally appeared in EarthBound.

Mr. Saturns made their first appearance in EarthBound. Mr. Saturns are strange creatures that reside in Saturn Valley. In Saturn Valley, Mr. Saturns provide health care and hotel stays free of charge, while other towns charge more and more as the game progresses. In an interview with Shigesato Itoi (director of the Mother series), Itoi states that Mr. Saturns are the "symbol of innocence". Mr. Saturns also have their own eccentric dialect that involves saying either "Zoom", "Boing", "Ding", or the occasional "Dakota" at the end of their sentences. Mr. Saturns also appear in Mother 3 and behave the same way as they did in EarthBound. In Melee and Brawl, Mr. Saturns simply walk around until they disappear. Mr. Saturns can also be picked up and thrown at enemies. Mr. Saturn having a passive attitude in Melee and Brawl could be a reference to how they're the "symbol of innocence", and the cry that Mr. Saturns do when thrown at another player is likely a reference to their eccentric dialect in EarthBound and Mother 3.

Trophy Info (SSBM)

The origins of the Mr. Saturn race are unknown. But many belive that they come from outer space. They are found in Saturn Valley and speak their own unique language. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mr. Saturn is just another item with which to pelt foes. These guys are laid back and not into fighting, so you can rest easy... or can you?
