Porky (localized as Pokey in EarthBound) is Ness's neighbor, making his debut in EarthBound, and later appearing in Mother 3.

In EarthBound

Pokey's sprite from EarthBound. In EarthBound, Pokey first consults Ness when he is requesting his help to find his little brother Picky. Ness brings his dog with him to help. Every time Ness must fight something, Pokey will apologize or do something else, such as using Ness as a shield, showing his cowardly personality. Pokey, along with his brother, are then punished when they go back home. The next appearance of Pokey was in Happy Happy Village. He tells Ness that Mr. Carpainter made him a very important character in Happy-happyism. He doesn't fight Ness though, instead leaving his minions to do that. When Carpainter is defeated, Pokey at first pretends to be sorry, but then shows that he is fibbing. Pokey doesn't appear again until Fourside, where he and his dad have seemed to achieve power. After Paula is rescued, Pokey flees again, and is not seen until the final boss battle, where he is now in a spider mecha. After he is defeated, he abandons Giygas and flees through time, setting up his role in Mother 3. When Pokey is in the party, his battle commands are selected randomly from a large list of commands.

In Mother 3

Pokey later reappears as the main antagonist in Mother 3 and was chosen to stay as "Porky" in the fan translation, due to a large amount of pig-related puns involving him.

Although not present or mentioned directly for most of the game, Porky's influence is seen through the Pigmask Army that emerges early on in the story. When the game skips forward several years into the future, it is revealed that the Nowhere Islands are controlled by "King P", although the actual Pigmask forces are commanded by the Fierce Pork Trooper, Fassad, and the Masked Man. Porky's presence is hinted at in Chapter 5, when the party goes through his playroom in Thunder Tower. While only referenced as "the King's playroom", it is shown that the most prized possession there is the "Friend's Yo-yo", a reference to Ness's use of yo-yos in the previous game. The fact that Ness is referred to as a "friend" here and that the yo-yo is the most prized possession implies that Porky expressed some positive feelings of his former enemy. Porky is finally confirmed to be the identity of "King P" at the end of Chapter 7, when he invites the party to his home in New Pork City.

When Lucas meets Leder, he learns that Porky didn't end up on the Nowhere Islands from the White Ship like the others. Instead, he came from a Time Distorter, and made people from other times, such as Dr. Andonuts, come to this time period. He also began putting animals together to create chimeras and became dictator of the land. He eventually learned of the secret of the Nowhere Islands' past from Locria, the seventh Magypsy. Porky then tries to have the Seven Needles pulled by the Masked Man to control the Dark Dragon. Lucas tries pulling the needles as well to stop him.

Lucas and his friends confront Porky in the Empire Porky Building. Here, they scale numerous floors to reach him, and throughout he is shown taunting them through an intercom system. When they reach the final floor, he appears to them as a young man in a suit. He tells the party that he wants to be friends with them, and asks them to sympathize with him. However, when he approaches them, he explodes, revealing the "young Porky" to actually be one of many Mecha-Porkies. When these are defeated, the real Porky appears as an ancient man, only able to move through a mechanical spider mech. He escapes down below to the final Needle.

When the party chases him down, his state of madness becomes apparent. He claims to be immortal, stating that he has lost track of his age due to time travel but "is still a kid inside". He expresses a desire to destroy the world with the power of the final needle, simply for the purpose of self-enjoyment. When his spider mech is destroyed by Lucas and his friends, he reveals an Absolutely Safe Capsule built by Dr. Andonuts, which he claims is impenetrable. When he enters it, however, he finds himself unable to escape, as the capsule was built to be impenetrable from both sides when sealed. Porky does not appear to realize the nature of his fate, only sticking his tongue out at the protagonists. Even after Lucas pulls the final Needle, the player can find a large rolling object in the ending that is implied to be the Absolutely Safe Capsule with Porky still inside.

Unused sprites found by hackers show that Porky may have originally been planned to die in the end of Mother 3, though in the end it was modified so that Porky would live on forever in the Absolutely Safe Capsule. Shigesato Itoi has stated that Porky will still be alive in 5.5 billion years when the Earth will be destroyed by the Sun going nova; Itoi says that "the grief of that is incredibly depressing to me. It's amazing... Porky is truly a poem in himself."[1]

Memo description

"A chubby little brat born near the end of the 20th century in a town called Onett, in Eagleland. Before long, he was plotting evil schemes and setting them into motion, one after another, wicked beyond imagination... ...and a far cry from the mere pranks of a childish bully. For those who would like more details... Well, this is by no means an advertisement, mind you, it just boils down to a simple note for your adventure... ...so if you don't mind my saying, you should try playing that one thing called EarthBound, dude!"

Below New Pork City
"Master Porky's Theme"

Porky also makes an appearance as an enemy in Mother 3. Lucas and company battle him towards the end of the game, underneath New Pork City.

Battle Memory descriptions

  • Normal: "Believe it or not, this is Porky in the flesh. He is simultaneously an old man and a young boy."
  • Absolutely Safe Capsule: "Porky had a tantrum and made Dr. Andonuts and the Mr. Saturns create an Absolutely Safe Capsule."

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Official artwork of Porky and a Porky robot from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Porky is a boss in the game's adventure mode, Subspace Emissary. Here, he appears after the King Statue fight, and will fight Lucas and Ness. He appears as he does in Mother 3, inside his spider-like mecha. He can use various missiles and bombs. He eventually is defeated. Porky then makes an appearances with the other bosses in The Great Maze. Also like the other bosses, he has his own trophy and appears in boss mode.

Trophy information

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

A self-centered, rotten brat who lives next door to Ness. As the events of the game progress, he's rapidly led astray and becomes Giygas's right-hand man. Afterward, he goes missing in time and then reappears in the Nowhere Islands of Mother 3. He leads the Pig Mask Army invasion but is eventually defeated by Lucas and friends.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Porky was just a chubby, selfish little boy in EarthBound. When he next appeared, in Mother 3, look what he'd become! We might need another two games just to explain how this occurred. Oh, Porky, what in Eagleland (or beyond?) happened to change you so?

Trivia

  • An unused graphic in Mother 3 depicts the upper half of Porky shown in a manner similar to that of the Status menu. [2]
  • Another unused graphic depicts the glass on a machine Porky is inside cracking.
