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.
