In Twoson, it is revealed that Ness was telepathically contacted by [[Paula]], another member of his party, who this time asks him to come and rescue her. In [[Burglin Park]] Ness encounters friendly gangster named [[Everdread]] the leader of Burglin Park. When defeated, he tells Ness about that Paula was kidnapped and was considered being used as a sacrifice. Ness then meets an inventer named [[Apple Kid]], who after Ness invests in him, tells Ness that he will give him an invention after it is finished. Ness then enters [[Peaceful Rest Valley]], however he is unable to progress as the bridge is broken and the detour is blocked by an iron pencil-shaped statue. Upon returning to Twoson, Ness recives a call from Apple Kid saying his invention is finished, and Ness recieves the [[Pencil Eraser]] from him. Ness removes the pencil statue with the machine and finds his way through Peaceful Rest Valley to [[Happy Happy Village]], which is under the influence of the [[Happy Happyist]] Cult. He finds Paula locked in a cell in a hidden house. She gives Ness the [[Franklin Badge]] so that he can withstand the lightning attacks of [[Mr. Carpainter]], the Happy Happyist leader. As Ness leaves the house, he is ambushed by Porky who reveals he is the high priest behind Happy Happyism and attacks Ness with spitful crows. After defeating them, Ness confronts Carpainter and defeats him, thereby breaking the influence of Happy Happyism over the valley. He explains that a certain statue has caused him to do strange things, and Carpainter thanks Ness for freeing him and gives him the key to Paula's cell. Ness encounters Porky outside who says he has also been freed and then apologizes, but then reveals he was lying and escapes. Ness frees Paula and enters a nearby cave where they encounter the [[Mondo Mole]], who is guarding the second sanctuary location, [[Lilliput Steps]]. They defeat it and Ness gains the power of Lilliput Steps.

They return to Twoson and meet a famous jazz band named the [[Runaway Five]] who explains they were under a dept at the [[Chaos Theater]]. After watching a performance, they find Everdread who gives them a "wad of bills". They use it to pay off the Runaway Fave's dept who as thanks take them in their van and give them a ride to [[Threed]]. Afyer being dropped off, Ness and Paula quickly discover the town is under an awful curse and zombies run rampant. They follow a suspicious woman into the hotel but are ambushed by zombies and locked in an underground cell. Paula then contacts a friend they never met before named Jeff telepathically, who resides in [[Winters]], [[Foggyland]]. He arrives in the [[Sky Runner]] and unlocks the cell door with a special invention called the [[Bad Key Machine]]. Upon leaving they find a suspicious tent called the [[Boggie Tent]] who attacks them, and upon defeating it, recieve a "jar of fly honey". Ness then recives a call from Apple Kid that he invented a solution to the town's zombie infestation called "Zombie Paper".

They then find a secret exit in the back of the graveyard and venture forth to find the source of the zombie scourge.

Now as robots, the four of them travel back in time to the Cave of the Past, where the travel through the cave finding Giygas's Lair with  Porky at his side. They learn that Giygas's power became too great for even his own mind to handle, literally becoming the "Embodiment of Evil" itself. Giygas now exists as a nearly omnipotent entity without thought or reason; an "all-mighty idiot." After dealing with Porky, he turns off the [[Devil's Machine]] unleashing Giygas, who attacks the heros with incomprehendable attacks. They attempt to battle Giygas, but their attacks are ineffective. As Porky insults them and Giygas continues attacking them in ways they cannot comprehend, Paula prays with all her heart that someone lends them strength. As she does so, their acquaintances and friends from their journey return with prayers of their own and successfully help to vanquish Giygas. With one more useless insult, Porky retreats to another time period and Giygas vanishes for eternity. With the war against Giygas over, Ness' spirit, along with the others, leave their battered robot bodies and return to the present. Poo returns home, Jeff joins his father. Ness receives a letter from his mother, who tells him how she heard he defeated Giygas, and about the family not eating as much of his favorite food anymore. Ness then escorts Paula back to Twoson, and returns back home. He receives a call from his [[Ness's Father|father]] saying he will be home to celebrate his upcoming birthday, while Ness, Tracy, and their mother look at the photos of Ness's journey.

"I don't think he had an 'official age', actually. Plus the game's development took so long, he might have aged overtime anyway. However my own daughter was in fourth or fifth grade at the time, which held a very strong spot in my mind. She would put on a backpack (just like Ness's) and head out to all sorts of places, you know?"

Fans have noted the resemblance between Ness and Ninten in the past. Because of their similar appearances many fans consider them to be the same characters, although recent evidence points towards them being different. It appears Ness's resemblance to [[Ninten]] was left as ambiguous by [[Shigesato Itoi]] intentionally as he intended for players to decide if they're the same character or different<ref>[http://yomuka.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/famitsu-06191992/ Weekly Famitsu – June 19, 1992]</ref>, he seems to have even ''suggested'' for players to think of them as the same.


==Appearence==
Ness shares many similarties to Ninten, the protagonist of [[EarthBound Beginnings]], although with a few minor differences: Ness's cap is pointed left while Ninten's is pointed right, Ness's hair is rounded whereas Ninten's is more spikey, Ness wears white socks and red shoes while Ninten wears red socks and blue shoes, and Ness carries a backpack which Ninten lacks. Shigesato Itoi confirmed Ness was designed to be similar to Ninten in appearance to allow the player to choose whether they were the same person or different<ref>[http://yomuka.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/famitsu-06191992/ Weekly Famitsu – June 19, 1992]</ref>.
