The Jewel Satellite (ジュエルサテライト Jueru Sateraito) is Jewel Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man 9. When activated, it summons four jewels that orbit Mega Man or Proto Man. When the shield is up, it can be launched as a projectile toward the way the user is facing. Like most other shield weapons, the user can move while using the Jewel Satellite. Despite only inflicting two points of damage, it can destroy multiple enemies with only one or two points of health left without destroying it. It also reflects or destroys most of the game's enemy projectiles. Since the weapon's energy only depletes each time it is activated, it is possible to keep it up during a whole section of a level, and it will not disappear unless the player transitions to a new set of screens or touches a tough or invulnerable enemy.

Due to Jewel Satellite having a fixed rate of fire, Super Mode's interaction with Jewel Satellite is different than other weapons. Instead of gaining an increased fire rate, Jewel Satellite instead spawns three more jewels and no longer disappears upon hitting a tough/invulnerable enemy. When launched as a projectile, it moves much faster. The seven jewels are all different colours, and lastly, using Jewel Satellite will turn Mega Man a flashing gold colour until he switches to another weapon.

Trivia

Jewel Satellite's interaction with Super Mode is a reference to the Sonic series' Chaos Emeralds and the ability to transform into Super Sonic once all seven are collected, and Super Sonic's ability to destroy all foes on contact.
