===Personality and other characteristics===
Like most silent protagonists, little is said about Ness's personality. Ness is shown to be kind and helpful, while also being strong on courageous. Ness is willing to endure any dangerous situation to save the world. Ness is shown to be fond of baseball with the EarthBound Player's Guide saying he has his favorite team's logo on his cap. This is further alluded with Ness's choice of weapon being baseball bats.

Ness is implied to be close to his home and his family, as implied by how he starts feeling [[homesick]] if he is away from home for long. Outside of Dr. Saturn the only way to cure his homesickness is talking to his mother, implying he is in particular close to his mother<!--The chick does not cure homesickness contrary to popular belief-->.

With this knowledge, Ness accompanies Porky and Picky back to their home but is confronted by a Starman Jr, who was sent by Giygas to kill Buzz-Buzz. The Starman Jr. confirms the prophecy before attacking the group. However, it is defeated through Buzz-Buzz's massive PSI powers and Ness's physical attacks. Upon arriving at Porky's house, Buzz-buzz is unceremoniously killed who was mistaken for a dung beetle by Lardna Minch. As he is dying, Buzz-Buzz explains to Ness that he must reach the eight [[Your Sanctuary]] locations and passes on the [[Sound Stone]], a special stone that records the special [[Eight Melodies|melodies]] from each Sanctuary, to Ness and starts him on his quest to save the world.

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 [[Everdred]] 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 inventor 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 receives a call from Apple Kid saying his invention is finished, and Ness receives 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 Happyism|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 [[Spiteful Crow]]s. 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 Everdred 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]]. After 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 [[List_of_key_items_in_EarthBound#Bad_key_machine|Bad key machine]]. Upon leaving they find a suspicious tent called the [[Boogey Tent]] who attacks them, and upon defeating it, receive a "jar of fly honey". Ness then receives a call from Apple Kid that he invented a solution to the town's zombie infestation called "Zombie Paper". The three of them conspire with the townsfolk to trap the zombies in the circus tent with 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.

The town is under the threat of [[Master Belch]], who not only was responsible for the zombie infestation in Threed, but has kidnapped many innocent residents of the valley. They infiltrate a secret base behind [[Grapefruit Falls]] near the valley and encounter Master Belch who is a major henchmen of Giygas. The three take advantage of his obsession with fly honey and easily defeat him and free the Saturn Valley inhabitants, and in the process learn their next destination is the city of [[Fourside]].

In Super Mario Maker Ness can be obtained as a {{mw|Mystery Mushroom}} power-ups by completing the 100 Mario Challenge on normal mode, or by scanning his [[amiibo]] figure. Pressing up on the directional pad will play the sound effect when learning a new PSI move in EarthBound, and completing a level as Ness will play the fanfare when winning against a boss in EarthBound.
