After returning to Summers, the four enter Toto, where they procure a boat and travel to [[Scaraba]], but encounter a mighty [[Kraken]] along the way. After defeating the Kraken, they arrive in Scaraba, where they explore a pyramid in the desert and gain the Hawk Eye. Outside the Pyramid, Ness and his party encounter the [[Star Master]], who requests that Poo leave the party with him in order to learn PK Starstorm. Poo leaves, and the rest of the party discover [[Dungeon Man]], previously Brick Road. Dungeon Man briefly travels with them before becoming entangled in various trees. Despite this, however, Ness and his friends acquire a submarine within Dungeon Man and travel into the [[Deep Darkness]], a path leading them under the earth. Using the Hawk Eye, Ness is able to navigate through the Deep Darkness, where they once again encounter Master Belch, now known as [[Master Barf]]. After battling Barf, Poo suddenly reappears and finishes off Barf by unleashing PK Starstorm. With Barf defeated, they find [[Tenda Village]], a small community populated by extremely shy creatures known as [[Tenda]]. Apple Kid then calls Ness again, telling him that he is now working with Dr. Andonuts to create a machine known as the [[Phase Distorter]]. Suddenly, Apple Kid finds himself and Andonuts kidnapped by Porky, who also steals the prototype phase distorter. Returning to Winters, the group infiltrate the [[Stonehenge Base]] and battle the [[Starman Deluxe]], the overseer of the base. After defeating the Starman Deluxe, Andonuts and Apple Kid are rescued, and Apple Kid gives Ness the [[List of key items in EarthBound#Shyness book|book of overcoming shyness]].

After awakening, Ness and the group return to Saturn Valley where Dr. Andonuts, Apple Kid, and various Mr. Saturns have created a new Phase Distorter, a time traveling device. Unfortunately, however, they find that the machine does not work, as it is lacking a critical component: Zyoxinite, a rare material only found in asteroid deposits. Recalling the asteroid in Onett, Ness returns to his home, only to find the area invaded by hordes of Giygas's soldiers and its inhabitants locked in their homes. Ness makes his way through the invaded town and reclaims the meteorite, then returns to Saturn Valley to give the material to Dr. Andonuts. After upgrading the machine, Andonuts explains to the kids that the machine cannot warp them to the past in their current form, as living things cannot withstand time travel and it would likely destroy their human bodies. To remedy this problem, Andonuts proposes to them to have their souls transplanted into robotic bodies, though not without warning them that he doesn't know whether or not the process is reversible. Despite this critical warning, Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo are willing to take the risk.

After the ending credits, Picky Minch comes to Ness's house in the middle of the night and gives him a letter from Porky that says "''Come and get me loser. Spankety, spankety, spankety!''", and the game ends with him and Ness pondering what has become of him.

''EarthBound'' takes place on Earth in the year 199X in the country of [[Eagleland]]. Throughout the game, there are four playable characters come to compose the party in the game; [[Ness]], [[Paula]], [[Jeff]] and [[Poo]]. Ness remains the lead character, a silent protagonist, for the entirety of the story. He is a young boy from [[Onett]] and is characterized by his love for baseball. He also possesses psychic abilities strong enough to affect cosmic events. Paula is the second main character in the game. She is a young girl from [[Twoson]] where her mother runs a preschool out of their home. Like Ness, she also possesses powerful psychic abilities. Jeff, the third character to join the party, is a young boy who resides at a boarding school in the northern country of [[Winters]] in the region of [[FoggyLand]]. The son of the famed professor [[Dr. Andonuts]], Jeff is a child prodigy who can fix almost anything. The last character to be acquired is Poo. He is the oldest of the group, a residing prince from the distant land of [[Dalaam]] in the far east region of [[Chommo]]. He is presented as a powerful martial arts master.
