Difference between revisions of "Mr. Saturn"

'''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. 4|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]].

The Mr. Saturn in EarthBound play a large role throughout parts of the game. They were first found to have many of their brethern imprisoned by [[Master Belch]], who used them to do most of the labor in [[Belch's Base]]. They don't have any true forms of amusement, but they offer many of their services for free (with the exception of their store).

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 and intelligent creatures, despite their very odd dialect, habits, and astounding lack of hands.

The Mr. Saturn 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]].
