Mr. Saturn walks around the stage, pushing other items along with it. It also honks when making contact with an opponent.

It also does a significant amount of shield damage—21 in Melee, 42 in Brawl, and 45 in Smash 4 and Ultimate, where under normal circumstances it will always instantly break shields no matter how it is thrown, but can be perfect shielded as with other attacks.
Mr. Saturn can also be pulled out by using Vegetable, appearing with a chance of 1/300 in Melee, 1/128 in Brawl, and 1/116 in SSB4 and Ultimate.
