Mr. Saturn

Mr. Saturn is a recurring species from the  series that serves as both a background character and a throwing item in Super Smash Flash 2.

Character description
Mr. Saturns are a strange race of innocent creatures who reside in Saturn Valley, a village found in both s Eagleland and Mother 3s Nowhere Islands. They are known for their characteristic way of dialect, based on series' creator Shigesato Itoi's young daughter's calligraphy at the time, noted by ending many of their sentences with either "Zoom", "Boing", "Ding", or "Dakota". Despite their lack of arms, they are also shown to have mechanical skills by working with Dr. Andonuts to design the Phase Distorter and the Absolutely Safe Capsule.

As a background character
✅ Multiple Mr. Saturns are set to appear in Super Smash Flash 2 as background characters on Saturn Valley, though it is currently unknown how many. Of them, several watch the fighters, one of which sits atop the tree stump near the center of the stage. One bathes in the hot spring, and five are stacked on top of each other, referencing the ladder they form in Mother 3. There is also a Mr. Saturn near the right house holding a camera, referred to by developers as "Frank the Saturn" and "Frank the photo-Saturn".

As an item
Mr. Saturn also appears as a throwing item. Upon landing, it stands up and looks back and forth before starting to walk slowly across the stage. It occasionally stops to look around again and turns around at ledges, and it also falls over occasionally, referencing a certain Mr. Saturn found in Mother 3. When thrown, it deals 4% damage and weak knockback to opponents hit, as well as bouncing off of them. It can also be attacked and knocked away, hitting opponents in its path. Despite its weak damage and knockback, Mr. Saturn deals massive shield damage capable of breaking even full shields.

Trivia

 * The Mr. Saturn on Saturn Valley named "Frank the Saturn" was named by developer Steven. He explained that this was a reference to the "photo-man" found in EarthBound, and the name Frank comes from the protagonist of , Frank West (who is also a photographer). When asked why Frank the Saturn was there, Steven replied with "Call it Damian humor".
 * Initially, Mr. Saturns could appear from Saturn Valley as items even when turned off. They would later be removed from the stage completely in Beta before returning purely as background characters in an upcoming release.
 * Although Frank the Saturn was not initially planned to return as a background character after being cut, he was added to the game again by developer Jamal Ransaw due to fan support.
