When Lucas meets [[Leder]], he learns that | Although not present or mentioned directly for most of the game, Porky's influence is seen through the [[Pigmask Army]] that emerges early on in the story. When the game [[Chapter 4|skips forward]] several years into the future, it is revealed that the Nowhere Islands are controlled by "King P", although the actual Pigmask forces are commanded by the [[Fierce Pork Trooper]], [[Fassad]], and the [[Masked Man]]. Porky's presence is hinted at in [[Chapter 5]], when the party goes through his playroom in [[Thunder Tower]]. While only referenced as "the King's playroom", it is shown that the most prized possession there is the "[[Yo-yo#In Mother 3|Friend's Yo-yo]]", a reference to [[Ness]]'s use of yo-yos in the [[EarthBound|previous game]]. The fact that Ness is referred to as a "friend" here and that the yo-yo is the most prized possession implies that Porky expressed some positive feelings of his former enemy. Porky is finally confirmed to be the identity of "King P" at the end of [[Chapter 7]], when he invites the party to his home in [[New Pork City]]. | ||
When Lucas meets [[Leder]], he learns that Porky didn't end up on the [[Nowhere Islands]] from the [[White Ship]] like the others. Instead, he came from a [[Phase Distorter|Time Distorter]], and made people from other times, such as [[Dr. Andonuts]], come to this time period. He also began putting animals together to create [[chimera]]s and became dictator of the land. He eventually learned of the secret of the Nowhere Islands' past from [[Locria]], the seventh [[Magypsy]]. Porky then tries to have the [[Seven Needles]] pulled by the [[Masked Man]] to control the [[Dark Dragon]]. Lucas tries pulling the needles as well to stop him. | |||
Lucas and his friends confront Porky in the [[Empire Porky Building]]. Here, they scale numerous floors to reach him, and throughout he is shown taunting them through an intercom system. When they reach the final floor, he appears to them as a young man in a suit. He tells the party that he wants to be friends with them, and asks them to sympathize with him. However, when he approaches them, he explodes, revealing the "young Porky" to actually be one of many [[Mecha-Porky|Mecha-Porkies]]. When these are defeated, the real Porky appears as an ancient man, only able to move through a mechanical spider mech. He escapes down below to the final Needle. | |||
When the party chases him down, his state of madness becomes apparent. He claims to be immortal, stating that he has lost track of his age due to time travel but "is still a kid inside". He expresses a desire to destroy the world with the power of the final needle, simply for the purpose of self-enjoyment. When his spider mech is destroyed by Lucas and his friends, he reveals an [[Absolutely Safe Capsule]] built by Dr. Andonuts, which he claims is impenetrable. When he enters it, however, he finds himself unable to escape, as the capsule was built to be impenetrable from both sides when sealed. Porky does not appear to realize the nature of his fate, only sticking his tongue out at the protagonists. Even after Lucas pulls the final Needle, [[the player]] can find a large rolling object in the ending that is implied to be the Absolutely Safe Capsule with Porky still inside. | |||
Unused sprites found by hackers show that Porky may have originally been planned to die in the end of [[Mother 3]], though in the end it was modified so that Porky would live on forever in the Absolutely Safe Capsule. [[Shigesato Itoi]] has stated that Porky will still be alive in 5.5 billion years when the Earth will be destroyed by the Sun going nova; Itoi says that "the grief of that is incredibly depressing to me. It's amazing... Porky is truly a poem in himself."<ref>[http://mother3.fobby.net/interview/m3int_09.html Nindori.com interview with Shigesato Itoi], translated</ref> | Unused sprites found by hackers show that Porky may have originally been planned to die in the end of [[Mother 3]], though in the end it was modified so that Porky would live on forever in the Absolutely Safe Capsule.

"''A chubby little brat born near the end of the 20th century in a town called Onett, in Eagleland. Before long, he was plotting evil schemes and setting them into motion, one after another, wicked beyond imagination... ...and a far cry from the mere pranks of a childish bully. For those who would like more details... Well, this is by no means an advertisement, mind you, it just boils down to a simple note for your adventure... ...so if you don't mind my saying, you should try playing that one thing called EarthBound, dude!''" | |||

:''Porky was just a chubby, selfish little boy in EarthBound. When he next appeared, in Mother 3, look what he'd become! We might need another two games just to explain how this occurred. Oh, Porky, what in Eagleland (or beyond?) happened to change you so? | |||
