Ness is a boy from the town of Onett. Ness is the protagonist of EarthBound. He is a gifted child with various PSI powers, and has the power to use each Your Sanctuary throughout the game to add some notes to the Sound Stone. Upon ridding his mind of all of the evil within him, Ness unlocks his true potential and becomes the absolute strongest member of his party.

In EarthBound

Ness's adventure first starts when a meteor crashes in Onett. He goes to investigate, but goes back. He later comes back with his neighbor Pokey to find Picky, Pokey's brother. While there, Ness meets Buzz Buzz who tells Ness about him going to save the world from Giygas, the game's main antagonist. Ness eventually meets with three other people, who also have been given the same fate. They travel through the land, and eventually defeat Giygas. After this, Ness receives a letter from his mother, who tells him about the family not eating as much of his favorite food anymore. He also escorts Paula back to Twoson.

Trophy information

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Regular

An average boy whose life changed when he found a meteor and an alien on a nearby mountain. The alien warned him of a future threat, and adventure ensued. He can use psychic energy known as PSI, and also wields a bat and yo-yo. This brave youth gives his all to defeat the evil Giygas.

Final Smash

Ness as he calls down a host of damage dealing stars in his Final Smash. Everyone on the screen must dodge like crazy to avoid getting hurt, but that's no easy task. This attack first appeared in the Mother series, but it was Poo, not Ness, who wielded it. Perhaps Poo taught Ness the secret of the attack for use in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
