'''Mr. Saturn''' ({{ja|どせいさん|Dosei-san}}, ''Mr. Saturn'') is a creature from the {{uv|EarthBound}} series, appearing as an [[item]] starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

==Origin==
[[File:Zoom.png|thumb|left|A Mr. Saturn as it originally appeared in ''EarthBound''.]]
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 ''{{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}}. Once freed by [[Lucas]] and his party, they reveal the location of the next Needle, found in {{s|wikibound|Fire Mountain}}.

==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''.

===Damage table===
[[File:Mr Saturn U.jpg|thumb|Mr. Saturn in {{forwiiu}}]]
In ''Brawl'', the momentum of a projectile will affect the damage a character will receive; these are recorded in bounces.

In ''SSB4'', damage varies based on distance. Projectiles thrown point-blank do more damage.

==Trivia==
*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.
*A small Mr. Saturn [http://earthboundcentral.com/2009/10/hidden-mr-saturn-sprite-in-brawl/ sprite] is hidden in the texture of the {{b|Metroid|creature}} Assist Trophy from ''Brawl''. It cannot be seen in-game.
*In ''Smash 4'', 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.
