-'''Poo''' is the prince of [[Dalaam]], and is one of the main playable characters in [[EarthBound]]. After finishing his Mu training, he learns that he is one of the [[Chosen Four]], and must seek [[Ness]] to save the world.
+'''Prince Poo''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|プー|Pū}}''' ''Pū''), alternatively '''Pu'''<ref>https://earthboundcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/preview4.jpg</ref>, is the prince of [[Dalaam]], and is the fourth of the main playable characters in [[EarthBound]]. After finishing his Mu training, he is told that he is one of the chosen four by [[Poo's Master|his Master]], and must join [[Ness]] in his journey to defeat [[Giygas]].
-He is unique among the other characters in the party that he does not gain boosts from usual equipment, and has a special set of four items for his own use. They are the [[Sword of Kings]], [[Cloak of Kings]], [[Bracer of Kings]] and [[Diadem of Kings]]. Poo also does not gain much HP from eating regular food items, only being able to recover about 6 HP, unless he eats the [[Brain food lunch]]. He also is the only character to gain more than 1 PP from drinking a bottle of water or a bottle of DXwater, recovering 10 and 40 PP respectively.
+Unlike the other main characters in Earthbound, Poo doesn't receive attack boosts from the usual equipment, instead having an unique set of four items for his own use: the [[King items#Sword of Kings|Sword of Kings]], [[King items#Cloak of Kings|Cloak of Kings]], [[King items#Bracer of Kings|Bracer of Kings]] and [[King items#Diadem of Kings|Diadem of Kings]]. Poo also recovers less HP from eating food items (not including the [[List of recovery items in EarthBound#Brain food lunch|Brain food lunch]], which replenishes his HP completely), only being able to recover about 6 HP from regular food. Also unlike other characters, Poo is the only character to gain more than 1 [[Status#PP|PP]] from drinking a [[Bottle of water]] or a [[Bottle of DXwater]], which recover 10 and 40 PP respectively.
+==Biography==
+===Physical appearance===
+Poo wears a full white martial arts gi with puffy white pants that taper off below the knee and a black belt tied in a ribbon around his waist, likely to symbolize his mastery. Additionally to his outfit, he also wears black slip-on shoes with white soles. He is mostly bald, but has a black topknot and braided ponytail atop his head and distinctively thick, angled eyebrows. Though his face appears to resemble most other characters with its rounded shape and blush marks, his [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] model and papier-mâché model demonstrate that he is more cheek-heavy than other characters of the same general figure.
+===Personality and other characteristics===
+Poo lives in a palace in the Eastern country of [[Dalaam]] in [[Chommo]]. Personality wise, Poo is very friendly with the people in his kingdom, appearing to be especially popular with the women of Dalaam. Poo is also a serious and dedicated individual, appearing to take his training very seriously, as some women mention he'd rather train than hang out with them. He is willing to endure situations that most would be afraid to take, specifically in his Mu Training, as the [[Mu spirit]] breaks various parts of his body, but Poo maintains his strength and still continues. Poo also shows strong loyalty, saying he will follow Ness and obey him as his master, and in the end quickly returns to Dalaam to use the skills he learned in the adventure for the benefit of his people in Dalaam.
+Overall, Poo is a very serious, yet loyal and friendly individual, who is willing to endure any circumstance in order to save the world.
 ==In [[EarthBound]]==
 ===History===
 {{spoiler}}
-Poo is very friendly with the people in his kingdom, and appears to be especially popular with the women. He has been in Mu training for a while, and completes it shortly before he meets [[Ness]]. When he finishes his training, he learns [[Teleport]], and uses it to teleport to [[Summers]], where Ness and [[Chosen Four|his friends]] are waiting.
+[[File:Mutraining.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Poo during his Mu Training]]
+Before his meeting with [[Ness]] and [[Paula|his]] [[Jeff|friends]], Poo is seen undergoing the Mu Training under the guidance of his mentor, the [[Star Master]]. For his training he must go to the top of a mountain to meditate. As a test, a woman tells Poo that his master is calling for him, but Poo ignores her and continues his meditation. He then meets with the [[Mu spirit]] who asks to break various parts of his body, and Poo agrees to do so. When he finishes his training, he wakes up as he is told his training is complete and to return to his master. Upon returning to his master, he learns [[Teleport]], and uses this newly-learned technique to teleport away to [[Summers]], where the three other main characters are waiting for him.
+Later, after exiting the [[Scaraba]] [[pyramid]], the Star Master takes Poo away temporarily to teach him [[PSI Starstorm]] α. Later, in [[Deep Darkness]], Poo re-appears in the battle against [[Master Barf]], and lands the finishing blow with this new technique. Near the end of the game, the Star Master returns once again to teach Poo PSI Starstorm Ω in the [[Cave of the Past]], so he can go back in time and defeat [[Giygas]].
+After defeating Giygas, Poo bids farewell to his friends and returns home to Dalaam, and uses the skills he learned for his people.

+Poo learns PSI Starstorm α from the Star Master when exiting the Scaraba pyramid. He then learns PSI Starstorm Ω from the same character before going back in time to fight Giygas.
+====Mirror====
+Poo has the ability to turn into enemies using the '''Mirror''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ヘンしン|Henshin}}''' ''Transformation'') command, and use their techniques. Because of this, he becomes automatically controlled until the end of a battle. The success chance for this is based on the enemy it is being used on, with the success rate never being higher than 50% and failing against bosses.

+===In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]===

Melee]], and as a [[smashwiki:Sticker|sticker]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].

+==Trivia==
+*Poo has the fewest primary weapons out of any playable character in the entire Mother series, only having the [[Sword of Kings]].
+**The only characters who comes close to matching are [[Lloyd]], who only has two [[Gun|Guns]], and [[Boney]], whose sole weapon is the [[Canine Weapon]], although he has a variety of [[Collar|Collars]] that serve as a weapon substitute.
+***If considering all weapons and not just primary ones, the honor goes to [[Pippi]], whose sole choice of weapon is the [[Slingshot]], which is not unique and can be used by everyone (although if she is cheated into a later section of the game, she is also able to equip the [[Boomerang]]).
+*Poo has an unused jumping sprite, being the only character not to use his.
+:*[[Ness]] and [[Paula]] use it when being named, and [[Jeff]] when jumping the gate of the Snow Wood boarding school.
+*Poo is confirmed to be at least bilingual to some capacity by both speaking the game's set language upon meeting the other party members, and by being able to translate the Hieroglyphs in the [[Scaraba Cultural Museum]].
+*Due to [[Dalaam]]'s general location relative to the [[EarthBound world's similarities with the real world|real world]], Poo is presumably equivalent to being [[wikipedia:South Asia|South Asian]].
