Gaah. There were artwork for every item, except for the photo of Maria. How typical. And I figured that adding a gallery probably would look the best.

Ninten weighs 42kg, is 152cm tall and has blood type A.<ref>[[:File:SomeNintenInfo.jpg| | Ninten weighs 42kg, is 152cm tall and has blood type A.<ref>[[:File:SomeNintenInfo.jpg|Excerpt from Ninten's Mother Encyclopedia Entry]]</ref> He has short, black hair, although he usually wears a red cap with a blue brim, likely due to his interest in baseball, making his hair unable to be seen in-game; in his clay model, he is also shown to have visible forelocks. He wears a striped t-shirt, with the colors blue and yellow; however, the t-shirt of his Japanese sprite was originally colored blue with one black stripe. He also wears blue shorts, blue shoes with white edges, and a pair of red socks, which together makes a portion of his legs visible. Red blushes can also be seen on his cheek on his clay model, being a typical feature of several Mother characters. | ||
Ninten is often compared with [[Ness]], whom appears to be based on Ninten. Because of this, Ninten is often overshadowed by him, as [[EarthBound]] and Ness are overall much more known. In the fan community, Ninten is usually depicted with a bandana around his neck and with more variety in the coloring of his shirt, in order to distinguish him from Ness, which is due to his appearance in a Japanese commercial for Mother where these features were added. | Ninten is often compared with [[Ness]], whom appears to be based on Ninten.

In Encyclopedia Mother, he is depicted as an energetic and adventurous boy, being compared with [[wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]]. His dog, [[Mick]], is very close to him, especially during his years as an infant. He's very popular in school, and has been chosen as "Mr. Leader" by his fellow classmates. He displays a strong interest in baseball, being a "team regular" in the boys' baseball team, and thus plays baseball routinely. His favorite baseball team is the [[wikipedia:San Francisco Giants|San Fransisco Giants]]. He also enjoys playing the electric guitar, which his father has gotten for him, while being accompanied by Mick. His [[favorite food]] is prime rib, which his mother serves him for dinner once a week.<ref>[http://kenisu.webs.com/motherencyclopedia.htm MOTHER Encyclopedia - The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant]</ref><ref>[[:File:PrimeRibRef.jpg|Part of Ninten's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref> Ninten also loves penguins, even owning a penguin toy, which is one of his most cherished possessions. | In Encyclopedia Mother, he is depicted as an energetic and adventurous boy, being compared with [[wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]].

Among Ninten's favorite things are his baseball cap, a ticket to the Tokyo Giants, a photo of [[Maria|his great-grandmother]], a ball signed by [[wikipedia:Shigeo Nagashima|Shigeo Nagashima]], a bent spoon, and a penguin toy. He got the baseball cap from his father, and it is considered to be his trademark; he rarely takes it off, being mainly when he showers, when it comes off as a result from a powerful swing when playing baseball, or when he sleeps, as can be seen in the ending of {{vg|Mother}}. The Tokyo Giants | Among Ninten's favorite things are his baseball cap, a ticket to the Tokyo Giants, a photo of [[Maria|his great-grandmother]], a ball signed by [[wikipedia:Shigeo Nagashima|Shigeo Nagashima]], a bent spoon, and a penguin toy. He got the baseball cap from his father, and it is considered to be his trademark; he rarely takes it off, being mainly when he showers, when it comes off as a result from a powerful swing when playing baseball, or when he sleeps, as can be seen in the ending of {{vg|Mother}}. The Tokyo Giants tickets were brought back by his father after a trip to Japan, which Ninten believes is the "sister team" of the San Francisco Giants, being his favorite team. The sepia-colored, elliptical-bordered photo of his great-grandmother is kept in his desk, and is something he really treasures. The right half of the photo, which is thought to depict her husband, [[George]], has been torn off. Ninten received the ball signed by Shigeo Nagashima when he was watching a match in the big leagues, and thereafter noticed that Nagashima sat next to him, recalling him from a special feature in a baseball magazine. The bent spoon became curved when he played with it during a dinner, when he already was full due to earlier having eaten at a hot dog stand, and as a result was unable to restrain himself, and bent the spoon through unknown means. Lastly, Ninten keeps the penguin toy due to his interest of penguins. He will never forget the day the day when penguins were introduced at the [[Choucream Zoo]], as he earlier had only seen them on pictures and TV.<ref>[http://kenisu.webs.com/motherencyclopedia.htm MOTHER Encyclopedia - The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant]</ref><ref>[[:File:NintensFavoriteThings.gif|Excerpt from Ninten's Encyclopedia Entry]]</ref> | ||
