Saturn Stage is a stage that appeared in Mega Man V that has Saturn as the boss.
Description[]
Being one of the second four stages, it is located on another world and will not regenerate Mega Man's weapon energy after completion. Saturn's stage takes place inside a gravity system, with weakened walls exposing the area's instability. The main gimmick is gravity panels on the background, unique to this stage. There are two types: the 0.5g walls reduce Mega Man's gravity and allow him to jump higher, while the 2.0g walls increase his gravity and make him jump shorter. Each come with their own challenges: the 0.5g tasks Mega Man not to hit his head on spikes, while the 2.0g demands more tight jumps. Saturn's stage is up there with Pluto's stage in terms of being the most lucrative stages in the entire game when it comes to collecting P-Chips, though Saturn's count manages to edge out Pluto's count by just a bit. Beating this stage additionally rewards Mega Man with Rush Jet.

Valuable pickups to look out for:
P-Chips: A total of 60 P-Chips (7 large and 2 small) can be found and collected within this stage.- Crystal: In the next room after the first gravity panel room, there will be an area on the left that Mega Man can jump to (using Rush Coil makes things easier). It leads to a dead end room where this crystal can be found. It is walled off by blocks that only Deep Digger can pull out. Mega Man simply has to climb to the top and use it there. Alternatively, if Mega Man has the Mega Arm enhancement, he can simply grab it without having to pull out the blocks.
- 1-UP: In the second gravity panel room, this pickup is buried under many blocks, ones that only Deep Digger can pull out. Mega Man can either climb to the top and use it there, or he can simply grab it using an enhanced Mega Arm without having to pull out the blocks.
- Eddie: After the third gravity panel room. Eddie will randomly provide a big health energy, a big weapon energy, a 1-UP, or an E-Tank. If the player does not like what he provides, Mega Man should slide under the pickup as Eddie throws it, and re-enter the room from the ladder leading to the next room.
