'''Mr. Saturn''' ({{sat|m|r|period|space|s|a|t|u|r|n}} in their distinctive font, and {{tt|'''どせいさん'''|Dosei-san}} ''Mr. Saturn'' in Japanese) is a race found in ''[[EarthBound]]'' and ''[[Mother 3]]'', and have also appeared as an item starting ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and are still [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|in]] [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|the]] [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|series]] today. They are the primary residents in [[Saturn Valley]] in both games. Mr. Saturns are known for being very peaceful and quirky, and their very distinct way of speaking.<!--boing--> Mr. Saturns are also one of the builders for the [[Phase Distorter]].


Late in the events of EarthBound, [[Dr. Andonuts]] and [[Apple Kid]] work with them to create multiple [[Phase Distorter]]s. One was originally for the use of [[Ness]] and his friends, but was stolen by [[Pokey]], who apparently also kidnapped a Mr. Saturn as well. The fact that the Mr. Saturn are capable of creating such technology shows that they are very dexterous creatures, despite their very odd dialect and habits.

The Mr. Saturn in Mother 3 play a significantly smaller role. When [[Lucas]] first finds them, the [[Pig Army]] has them and [[Duster]] held hostage with [[Frightbot]]s telling them scary stories until they tell them where the [[Needle]] is. After freeing them, the Mr. Saturns form a ladder leading to [[Fire Mountain]]. They have developed a hobby of going "fishing" for birds, laying down to stare at what is above them, and forming totem poles. Various members of the Mr. Saturn have single lines of dialog that don't have any significance to [[the player]] whatsoever. When [[Lucas]] and company must leave the enclosed Saturn Valley, the Mr. Saturn let them leave via tons of "birdies" in a cage. One of them asks Lucas for his [[Courage Badge]] and holds onto it for a long duration of [[Chapter 7]].

The Mr. Saturns in ''Mother 3'' play a significantly smaller role. When [[Lucas]] first finds them, the [[Pigmask Army]] has them and [[Duster]] held hostage with [[Frightbot]]s telling them scary stories until they tell them where the [[Needle]] is. After freeing them, the Mr. Saturns form a ladder leading to [[Fire Mountain]]. They have developed a hobby of going "fishing" for birds, laying down to stare at what is above them, and stacking on each other, a game called “playing ladder” (which [[Lucas]] and his party can use occasionally to climb to higher areas). Various members of the Mr. Saturn have single lines of dialog that don't have any significance to [[the player]] whatsoever, simply being quirky. When Lucas and company must leave the now-enclosed Saturn Valley, the Mr. Saturn let them leave via many  "birdies" in a cage. One of them asks Lucas for his [[Courage Badge]] and holds onto it for most of the duration of [[Chapter 7]].


Later, right before Lucas approaches the second-to-last needle, a hooded Mr. Saturn, presumably the one that took the Courage Badge, gives Lucas the [[Franklin Badge]], an essential item for confronting the [[Masked Man]]. Past that, the Mr. Saturn are only seen again in the [[Cast roll#In Mother 3|cast roll]].

Mr. Saturns seem to speak the English language, but with their own twist to it. The words they speak that appear in the text boxes have their own font. It is unknown if this stands for an unheard accent or not. They also use words like {{sat|k}}{{sat|a}}{{sat|y}}{{sat|dash}}{{sat|o}}, {{sat|b}}{{sat|o}}{{sat|i}}{{sat|n}}{{sat|g}}, {{sat|z}}{{sat|o}}{{sat|o}}{{sat|m}}, or {{sat|d}}{{sat|a}}{{sat|k}}{{sat|o}}{{sat|t}}{{sat|a}} at the end of sentences. Mr. Saturns also use incorrect grammar (according to the English language) using fragments and lacking the word "am".

In addition, Mr. Saturn also appears in Peach's moveset as a random item she pulls out of the ground instead of a vegetable.

:''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?''

:''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.
