They are allies of [[Ness]] and his friends, and reside in [[Saturn Valley]], a location north of [[Threed]]. They tend to like odd foods, such as the [[Peanut Cheese Bar]], or the [[Piggy Jelly]]. They also have their own odd language, which is more of pooly written English. Although every Mr. Saturn shares the same name, except for [[Dr. Saturn]], they each have their own differant personality or trait. The Mr. Saturn's are very intelligent, and they even assist [[Dr. Andonuts]] in building the [[Phase Distorter]]. |

They learned that it was because of the villainous minion of [[Giygas]], [[Master Belch]]. The group headed North to try and find Belch, and ended up in [[Saturn Valley]], where the Mr. Saturn's lived. They assisted the group in finding Master Belch, who had enslaved a few of the Mr. Saturn's, by telling them the combination to Belch's lair. They also told them they had to use the [[Fly Honey]] to see him, which they had found in Threed. A few Mr. Saturn's had already been captured and enslaved, however, these Mr. Saturn's were oblivious to the fact that they were enslaved.

Dr. Andonuts states that if anyone can build a maching like THAT, the Mr. Saturn's can. The entire race of Mr. Saturn's proved their intellect, by building the [[Phase Distorter]] for the gang. Unfortunately, there was one problem. The Phase Distorter will kill any living thing inside of it, so Ness and the gang had to have their conscience placed in Robots. During the battle with Giygas, the Mr. Saturn's feel that Ness and his friends are having a hard time defeating Giygas, and they pray frantically for their safety. This, along with many other prayers from Ness's friends, helps the group defeat Giygas once and for all.
