May 20th, 2009 | EarthBound, Images, Uncommon Knowledge
The Japanese guides that were made for MOTHER 1 and MOTHER 2 were filled with love and cool fun stuff. Nowadays, guides mostly seem to be about pushing crap out to make it in time for the game’s release.
Anyway, in one of the old Japanese M2 guides, one of the goofy things they do is look at the anatomy of Mr. Saturns. That’s where this pic comes from. I translated the text and someone (I think Stevesesy?) edited the image to use that text. So here you go!

And that concludes today’s Anatomy 101 class at EarthBound University!

40 Comments to Anatomy of a Mr. Saturn

Gross. I’d hate to be the person that opened one of them up to draw that. I wonder what the smell.. uh, smells like?
I guess this is as good as time as any to ask:
Are these guides licensed by Nintendo, meaning is this official? I bought the guide made by Nintendo for MOTHER2 and didn’t see it. Also, what guide is the whole “Paula Jones” thing from? I must know if that is indeed her last name.
Anybody know?
No, I don’t konw. But I also want to see the anatomy of a Starman.
Or the Ultimate Chimera.
i giggled when i saw this. and it freaked me out a bit because i was talking about buying a Mr. Saturn plush with my dad and then i saw this and whoa…
anatomy of a Starman would be pretty sweet.

I love that the nose is just a big blob of who-knows-what inside.
No stomach? Where does all the Piggy Jelly go?!
I always thought Mr. Saturn(’s?) were filled with love and science…
Questions:
How does it shit?
Is there any sort of blood running through it? If so, where is the heart?
Does it BREATHE? It smells things, but does it have some sort of lungs?
The Mr. Saturn metabolism is so efficient that it has no need for defecation
<<Proud owner of the Japanese guides.
The Japanese guides had funny stuff like this that had absolutely nothing to do with the gameplay. It’s nice that the writers for the American Player’s Guide tried to keep this original spirit.
“I translated the text and someone (I think Stevesesy?) edited the image to use that text.”
It was me… :’(
It was actually kind of funny, less than a minute after I posted it on starmen.net, I went to 4chan to see if /v/ would like it, and it was already on the front page :O
The internet moves too fast, why is it always in such a hurry?
@ AbstractedThought
Saturn CAVITY!!!!!!!!!!
well, thats the best meme I can think up.
Hm. I guess this anatomical diagram explains why there is no need for Ms. Saturns? O.o
But there are female Saturns. There’s one in Mother 3 that says she’s a girl. I’m guessing the “Mr.” in “Mr. Saturn” is a generalization, such as the (irritating) usage of “mankind” to sum up the human species, even though it is made up of two primary sexes. That’s what I think, anyway. Or Mr. Saturns are like Smurfs: there’s only one female.
Any who, this diagram is made of so much awesome it hurts. If only we humans could be so anatomically sophisticated (or random, that may be a better way of putting it) as to only requiring a handful of organs. The bow tie probably does all of the work of those “useless” body parts we call the brain, heart, kidneys, pancreas, etc.
And sorry about the double-post.
That would be funny if Mr. Saturns were like Smurfs…
“Ms. Saturn! I’ll give you tons of yummy Pig Jelly to marry me!”
what does it say for:
1 the stomach
2 the thing above the stomach

Ha, this anatomy image is sweet
Old guides really DID have lots of character to them, didn’t they? Good times. Anyway, on the topic of a lack of a heart, I’ve always thought their ribbons powered them, but that’s just me…
Blarg, the thing is, in Japanese, the equivalent of our English Mr/Mrs/Ms is “san” (さん). Therefore, in Mother 2, Mr. Saturns (Doseisan, どせいさん) could be female or male since “san” doesn’t imply a specific gender.
Also, “dosei” = Saturn, just in case (I’m not showing off, I swear!)

Ehh… I dunno if I want to know what the inside of a Mr. Saturn is… do I? :S
Aghh, Anatomy’s over. I can get to Music next, with Mystical Record and Musica.
Good lord! Is that really how a Mr. Saturn is inside?
From what I’ve seen on ebay, I always thought that they
were made of stuffing. I don’t want a plush anymore. ‘_’
