The music for Saturn Valley in this game seems to resemble that of the Ruins of Desert of EarthBound Beginnings. Mother 3 also has a location known as and is similarly where Mr. Saturns live.

Overview
Saturn Valley is accessed from a cave in Grapefruit Falls. The village consists of three buildings, two on the lower section near a pond, and one on a ledge of the north mountain. On the bottom area, the left house is an inn which can be used free of charge. The house right of the pond contains Dr. Saturn who cures any status ailment for free. The house on the ledge is the shop.

Several caves are scattered throughout the village which contain either items or other Mr. Saturns. Access to the above level is via the westmost cave with the ladder. There are also ladders scattered throughout the village which lead either to the higher areas or to nothing. After defeating Master Belch a hot spring also becomes accessible in the northeast of the valley, and in addition the cave leading to Milky Well.

History
During the first visit, Ness, Paula and Jeff find that many of the Mr. Saturns were captured and forced to be slaves of Master Belch. A Mr. Saturn in a cave will reveal the "password" to Belch's Base being to wait three minutes behind Grapefruit Falls. With this knowledge, Ness and his friends set out to defeat Master Belch and rescue the captured Mr. Saturns and the town of Threed. After Master Belch's defeat, the captured Mr. Saturns return to the village. After a coffee break near the hot spring, the trio then take on the challenge of Milky Well.

Near the end of the game, Ness and his party return to the valley as the Mr. Saturns, Dr. Andonuts and the Apple Kid collaborate to create the Phase Distorter, a vital machine to travel to the past and defeat Giygas. On the first attempt to use the Phase Distorter, it fails to work. Dr. Andonuts states that it needs Zexonyte to work, which can be extracted from a piece of the meteorite that landed in Onett at the start of the game. Ness brings the Zexonyte to Dr. Andonuts and the team set out to the past to defeat Giygas.

After emerging victorious the team return to their bodies in the present, with the Mr. Saturns, Dr. Andonuts and Apple Kid celebrating their victory. Three presents fall from the sky containg letters from their friends. After this, the team part ways.
