'''Mr. Saturn''' ({{ja|どせいさん}}, ''Dosei-san'') is an [[item]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Originating from the {{uv|Mother}} and {{uv|EarthBound}} series, it walks around the stage, pushing other items along with it. It also cries 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''.

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

Article on WikiBound Mr. Saturn

Mr. Saturn (どせいさん, Mr. Saturn) is a creature from the EarthBound series, appearing as an item starting with Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Origin[edit]

A Mr. Saturn as it originally appeared in EarthBound.

Mr. Saturns are a race of creatures resident to 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 EarthBound, they were captured by Master Belch, one of 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 Dr. Andonuts in making the Phase Distorter, allowing Ness to travel to the past and defeat Giygas. In Chapter 7 of Mother 3, the Mr. Saturn are captured and neutralized by the Pigmask Army with their Frightbots, with the goal of finding the location of one of the Seven Needles. Once freed by Lucas and his party, they reveal the location of the next Needle, found in Fire Mountain.

Overview[edit]

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, 42 in Brawl, and 45 in Smash 4 and Ultimate, where under normal circumstances it will always instantly break shields no matter how it is thrown, but can be perfect shielded 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[edit]

Mr. Saturn in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Mr. Saturn
The origins of the Mr. Saturn race are unknown, but many believe they came from outer space. They reside 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?
EarthBound (6/95)

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

One of Ness's alternate costumes is a black T-shirt with a Mr. Saturn sprite on it. Lucas makes his entrance riding the Mr. Saturns' coffee table.

As an item[edit]

Trophy[edit]

Mr. Saturn
A creature from a race of unknown origin that speaks its own unique language. Some say they came from outer space, but the facts behind their appearance are wrapped in mystery. In Smash Bros., they'll wait a bit after appearing before wandering off on their own. They can be picked up and thrown at foes for minimal damage. Their shield-breaking properties are high.

In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]

As an item[edit]

Mr. Saturn returns as an item once again. Both Ness's Mr. Saturn T-shirt and Lucas's Mr. Saturn table also return.

In Smash Tour[edit]

Mr. Saturn appears as a red item: when selected before a battle, it allows the user's attacks to break shields more easily.

A Mr. Saturn Smash is one of the possible battle types: in it, only Mr. Saturns appear as items.

Trophy[edit]

Mr. Saturn
NTSC Mr. Saturns are curious beings that speak their own language. They might not look it, but they're scientific geniuses! In this game, they tend to go for a stroll around the battlefield. Throwing one at an enemy won't do much damage, but Mr. Saturn will take out a shield very easily.
SNES: EarthBound (06/1995)
PAL Mr. Saturns are curious beings that speak their own language. They might not look it, but they're scientific geniuses! In this game, they tend to just do their own thing, but you can throw them to deal...a bit of damage. They're good at breaking shields, though, and make adorable noises when they do!

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Trivia[edit]

  • An interview with Shigesato Itoi reveals his perception of the Mr. Saturn as a "symbol of innocence"[1], likely explaining their passive behavior as an item. Furthermore, its unorthodox honk is likely based on their unique dialect.[2]
  • Mr. Saturn is one of the only items that can't be eaten.
  • A small Mr. Saturn sprite is hidden in the texture of the Metroid 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 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.[3]
