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.

Mr. Saturns are a race of creatures resident to {{s|wikibound|Saturn Valley}}, and speak in their own eccentric dialect, involving the use of verbal tics such as "Zoom", "Boing", "Ding", or "Dakota" at the end of most sentences, as well as a distinctive font from the one used in the remainder of the games.


In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', [[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]] makes his entrance riding in on Mr. Saturn's coffee table.
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. In {{s|wikibound|Chapter 7}} of ''{{s|wikibound|Mother 3}}'', the Mr. Saturn are captured and neutralized by the {{s|wikibound|Pigmask Army}} with their {{s|wikibound|Frightbot}}s, with the goal of finding the location of one of the {{s|wikibound|Seven Needles}}.

==Damage table==
==Overview==
Mr. Saturn walks around the stage, pushing other items along with it. It also honks when making contact with an opponent. If thrown, it will deal very little damage and knockback, but it can be used repeatedly, as it does not disappear after one use. As an [[unconventional meteor smash]], Mr. Saturn gives off a large amount of stun when it hits an opponent, making it great for combos. It also does a significant amount of [[shield damage]]—21 in ''Melee'' and 42 in ''Brawl''. In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', Mr. Saturn will always instantly [[shield break|break shields]] no matter how it is thrown, but can be [[perfect shield]]ed as with other attacks.
 
Mr. Saturn can also be pulled out by using [[Vegetable]], appearing with a chance of 1/300 in ''Melee'', 1/128 in ''Brawl'', and 1/116 in ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''.

! No. !! Image !! Name !! Type !! Class !! Cost !! Ability !! Series
Mr. Saturns made their first appearance in ''[[EarthBound (game)|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 ''[[EarthBound (universe)|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''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In [[Ness (SSB)|Ness's]] ending picture in ''[[SSB]]'', a Mr. Saturn is seen in the background
*An interview with [[Shigesato Itoi]] reveals his perception of the Mr. Saturn as a "symbol of innocence"<ref>https://www.1101.com/MOTHER/03.html</ref>, likely explaining their passive behavior as an item. Furthermore, its unorthodox honk is likely based on their unique dialect.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsftegYjaiQ]</ref>
*Mr. Saturn is one of the only items that can't be [[eaten]], likely because they are living beings.
*Mr. Saturn is one of the only items that can't be [[eaten]].
*Interstingly, hackers examining the texture of the [[Metroid (creature)|Metroid]] Assist Trophy from ''Brawl'' discovered a tiny Mr. Saturn sprite. It is unknown why the developers placed it there. [http://earthboundcentral.com/2009/10/hidden-mr-saturn-sprite-in-brawl/]
*A small Mr. Saturn [[Media:HiddenMr.Saturn.png|sprite]] is hidden in the texture of the {{b|Metroid|creature}} Assist Trophy from ''Brawl''. It cannot be seen in-game.
*In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', a Mr. Saturn thrown at a grounded opponent will sometimes have a meteor effect, though this doesn't occur until they are at 200% damage.
**At 150%, a thrown Mr. Saturn may trip the opponent.
*Mr. Saturn is the first non-playable character to appear in the panoramic banner.
*Mr. Saturn, [[Morgana]] and [[Slime]] are the only non-playable characters to appear in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s panoramic character artwork.
**Of these, Mr. Saturn is the only one to be an item, as well as the only one to appear in the key artwork and {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} mural, likely due to its status as the only one among the three to not be introduced as [[DLC]].
*Mr. Saturn was the 12th most-requested character to be added to the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' roster, with 18 votes, and the most requested from the ''MOTHER'' universe.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult2.html</ref>
**Mr. Saturn was tied for 12th place with a [[Pokémon Trainer]] (referred to as "[[bulbapedia:Ash Ketchum|Satoshi]]" and likely referring to {{iw|bulbapedia|Red|game}}) and an unspecified {{uv|Fire Emblem}} character.
