In ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'', they were captured by {{s|wikibound|Master Belch}}, one of {{s|wikibound|Giygas}}' henchmen. Once Master Belch is defeated by [[Ness]] and his party, the Mr. Saturn are freed and help Ness on his journey. They are shown to be surprisingly intelligent, as they assist {{s|wikibound|Dr. Andonuts}} in making the {{s|wikibound|Phase Distorter}}, allowing Ness to travel to the past and defeat Giygas.
