Hobonichi MOTHER: Mr. Saturn (It’s Great) A6 [Cover Only]

The Hobonichi Techo A6 MOTHER “Mr. Saturn (It’s Great)” is a collaboration cover with the legendary Super Famicom™ game MOTHER 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back! (released as EarthBound in North America in 1994, produced by Nintendo). The design prominently features Mr. Saturn, displayed in a bright, eye-catching yellow with a lenticular print.

The lenticular printing technique changes the image depending on the viewing angle, making Mr. Saturn face left or right as if he were alive. The design recreates the Mr. Saturns you meet in Saturn Valley, using photos of the original clay figurine from the official MOTHER 2 guidebook. The figurine’s natural wear and tear remains visible, preserving its authentic charm.

The back of the cover also features a large Mr. Saturn print, complete with his ribbon that seems to move as he does. The interior is a striking purple, contrasted with the vivid exterior. The two pen holders that, when a pen is inserted, allow the cover to stay closed and the bookmark ribbons come in pink and mint green, adding a playful color-block effect. The ticket pocket is printed with the MOTHER 2 logo and front, side, and back views of Mr. Saturn.

As a special bonus, this cover comes with Mr. Saturn paper clips: one with “In disguise.” and one with “Boing.” Both are printed on both sides. One pixel-art clip even has dotted lines so that when clipped to your planner or a note, Mr. Saturn peeks over the edge.

This cover lets you carry the beloved, symbolic Mr. Saturn character from the MOTHER series everywhere you go. We hope that with him by your side, your year will make you say: “It’s Great.”
