'''Mom''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ママ|Mama}}''' ''Mama''), named Rachael in the novelization, supports Ness's intentions, being very laid-back about letting her son do various things, such as go outside in the middle of the night to investigate the nearby meteor. She sends Ness a letter around the end of the game's events at [[Saturn Valley]]. She is skilled at cooking Ness's [[favorite food]], and always makes it for him whenever he's home.

Throughout the game, [[Ness]] must call his mother occasionally so he can shake off potential [[homesick|homesickness]].

'''Dad''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|パパ|Papa}}''' ''Papa''), while never shown in-game, plays an important role in the game. He calls [[Ness]] around the time Picky is brought home. After this point, he can be [[telephone|called]] to save the game and will give Ness an ATM card to use, storing money in the account at times. He also provides information on how many experience points until a level up, and how much money is in Ness's account. He was said to have taken money from [[Porky]] and [[Picky]]'s [[Aloysius Minch|father]], though there is no indication of this outside of Aloysius's assertion.

'''Tracy''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|トレーシー|Torēshī}}''' ''Tracy'') is Ness's younger sister, who later gets a job at [[Escargo Express]] and will deliver or store Ness's items.

 

'''King''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|チビ|Chibi}}''' ''Chibi'') is Ness's dog who has been around ever since [[Ness]] was a baby. Although he doesn't do much, he does come with Ness and [[Porky Minch]] to go check out the meteor.
