The story begins when Ness is awakened by a meteor that has plummeted to the earth near his home, whereupon he proceeds to investigate the crash site. When Ness gets to the crash site he discovers a police road block and Pokey Minch, his friend and neighbor, who tells him to go home.

Buzz Buzz senses great potential in Ness and instructs him to embark on a journey to seek out and record the melodies of eight "[[Your Sanctuary|sanctuaries]]," unite his own powers with the Earth's and gain the strength required to confront Giygas.


After an encounter with some hostile gang members, Ness reaches the first sanctuary on a mountain above his hometown. He then proceeds to the next town, Twoson, where he rescues a girl named Paula from the Happy Happyist Cult and discovers that [[Pokey Minch|Pokey]] (who has been the high priest of cult) is working against him. Together, Ness and Paula discover the second sanctuary. With the help of the [[Runaway Five]], a band that Ness and Paula free from debt, the two arrive in [[Threed]], where they are ambushed and captured. While in captivity, Paula sends a telepathic message to a boy named Jeff, who resides at a boarding school. Jeff responds to the message and acquires his father's [[Sky Runner]], a flying vehicle, in order to reach Threed. After crashing the Sky Runner, Jeff rescues Ness and Paula and joins their group. The three of them travel to [[Saturn Valley#In EarthBound|Saturn Valley]], a land populated by a strange race of creatures called [[Mr. Saturn]]s. There, the party learns that [[Master Belch|a monster has been kidnapping the populace]]. Ness and the group proceed to defeat the monster and reach the third sanctuary above Saturn Valley. The party then travels through the desert to reach the next city.
With this goal, Ness travels into mainland Onett, which is under terror by a gang known as The Sharks. The mayor of Onett frantically asks Ness to put a stop to their antics, in exchange for a key through a police-created barrier. After an encounter with The Sharks' leader, [[Frank Fly]], Ness battles the [[Titanic Ant]] and reaches the first sanctuary, [[Giant Step]]. However, because the way to the sanctuary was barricaded before Ness entered, the Onett police chief [[Captain Strong]] lectures Ness on trespassing through the barrier. Ness, however, asks Strong to allow passage to [[Twoson]], and Strong forces Ness to battle his five strongest men, plus Strong himself, to prove his strength. Ness defeats all six men, then proceeds to Twoson, where he discovers that a young girl, named [[Paula]], has been kidnapped. Paula's father suspects that [[Everdread]], the shady owner of Twoson's Burglin Park, is responsible, and Ness confronts Everdread in the park.


[[File:Mother 2 Summers.png|left|thumb|200px|Screenshot depicting Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo as they travel through Summers]]
After battling and defeating Everdread, he reveals that Paula has traveled to [[Happy Happy Village]], but has not returned, suspecting that the cult of Happy Happyism has captured her. Ness attempts to reach the village, but finds the bridge leading there broken. What's worse, an iron pencil statue is blocking the other route. Returning to Twoson, he encounters and befriends [[Apple Kid]], a sloppy yet inteligent inventor who finds himself hungry and unable to sell an invention. After being helped, Apple Kid gives Ness the Pencil Eraser, which allows Ness to bypass the Iron Pencil statue and enter Happy Happy Village. There, Ness finds Paula imprisoned in a cabin by the Happy Hapyist Cult, but is unable to open the cell she is in. Paula tells Ness that the leader of the cult, [[Mr. Carpainter]], possesses the key, and gives Ness the Franklin Badge necessary to confront him. Just outside, however, Ness discovers that [[Pokey Minch|Pokey]] (who has been promoted to a "high position" of the cult) is working against him, and sends two cult members and a crow to attack Ness. Ness defeats the cultists, then confronts and defeats Carpainter, who agrees to free Paula. Together, Ness and Paula then enter a nearby cave and battle the [[Mondo Mole]], who guards the second sanctuary known as [[Lilliput Steps]]. Returning to Twoson, Everdread gives Ness a wad of bills, and Ness uses the money to help the [[Runaway Five]], a band performing at a theater and stuck there through a massive debt, become free from this debt, and the band out of gratitude helps the two arrive in [[Threed]].
Upon reaching [[Fourside]], the group again helps the Runaway Five out of debt and visits a department store only to have Paula kidnapped. Ness and Jeff proceed to find her, and along the way, destroy a hallucination-projecting relic called the [[Mani-Mani Statue]]. The two boys continue their search only to discover that Pokey and the Mayor have taken Paula. However, because Ness and Jeff defeated the Evil Mani-Mani, the mayor returns to normal. Pokey escapes in the Mayor's helicopter and Paula rejoins the group. After returning to Threed, Jeff repairs the Sky Runner, and they set flight for Winters to discover the fourth sanctuary. The group then cross the ocean and arrive in Summers where Ness falls unconscious and dreams of a far-off land known as Dalaam. There, a young prince named Poo has completed his training and is instructed to join the party on their journey. The group then returns to Fourside and are able to discover the fifth sanctuary.


The four then procure a boat and travel to [[Scaraba]] where they explore a pyramid in the desert. Ness and the group then travel to [[Dalaam]] and find the sixth sanctuary there, after which they acquire a submarine and travel into the [[Deep Darkness]], a path leading them under the earth. There, they find [[Tenda Village]], a small community populated by extremely [[Tenda|shy creatures]]. After acquiring the [[List of key items in EarthBound#Shyness book|book of overcoming shyness]], Ness is able to speak to the shy villagers who allow them passage to the [[Lost Underworld]]. There, they discover the last two sanctuaries.
In Threed, the two find the area dark and overrun by the undead, before finding a suspicious woman in the Threed hotel. Though they try to confront her, they are ambushed and captured. While in captivity, Paula sends a telepathic message to a boy named [[Jeff]], who resides at a boarding school in [[Winters]]. Jeff responds to the message and, with the help of his best friend [[Tony]], begins to travel to the labratory of his father, [[Dr. Andonuts]], and even encounters the unshaven dungeonmaker [[Brick Road]] along the way. Entering his father's lab, Jeff acquires his father's [[Sky Runner]] in order to reach Threed. After crashing the Sky Runner, Jeff rescues Ness and Paula and joins their group. After returning to Threed, Ness enters the southern area of Threed and encounters a [[Boogey Tent]], then receives a phone call from Apple Kid, who delivers to Ness the Zombie paper. Ness gives the paper to various Threed officials, who use it inside of a large tent to lure and trap the zombies in the area. This opens the way to a mysterious passage.


Upon activating the final sanctuary, Ness falls unconscious and enters a strange
The three of them travel through the passage after defeating a [[Mini Barf]] to [[Grapefruit Falls]], which is home to [[Saturn Valley#In EarthBound|Saturn Valley]], a land populated by a strange race of creatures called [[Mr. Saturn]]s. There, the party learns that a monster, known as [[Master Belch]], has been kidnapping and enslaving the populace. Ness and the group infiltrate [[Belch's Base]] to defeat Belch and free the enslaved Mr. Saturns. This is sucessful, and the party subsequently battle and defeat the [[Trillionage Sprout]] to reach the third sanctuary, [[Milky Well]], above Saturn Valley. With Master Belch defeated, the zombies in Threed disappear and allow the party to travel to [[Fourside]]. Unfortionately, a large traffic jam forces Ness and the party to travel through the desert in order to reach the city. Through the desert, they find the excavator [[George Montague]] trying to dig for gold, and asks for food from the party. They give him food, then travel the rest of the way into Fourside.

Upon reaching Fourside, the group enters the Monotoli Building and find Pokey again, now in cohorts with the city mayor, [[Geldegarde Monotoli]], who has been corrupted by the strange [[Mani-Mani Statue]]. Not wanting Ness to interfere, Pokey forces the group out of the Monotoli Building and into the desert. Back there, they find Montague again in a much deeper hole, who explains in a distress that [[Guardian Digger|five large moles]] are infesting the mine. By defeating the moles, Montague gives Ness a diamond, which he uses to again help the Runaway Five out of debt. The Runaway Five then gives a final show alongside the singer [[Venus]]. Wishing to celebrate, the three of them visit a department store, only to have Paula kidnapped by the [[Department Store Spook]], who also creates a blackout in the store and causes monsters to appear. Ness and Jeff proceed to the spook and defeat it, but find that Paula is no longer with it and is now with Monotoli himself. After hearing various rumors that Monotoli visits the Fourside cafe often, Ness and Jeff arrive at the cafe, only to find a wounded Everdread, who had stolen the Mani-Mani Statue from Carpainter in Happy Happy Village, but found the statue stolen from him by Monotoli. Everdread tells Ness to check behind the cafe's counter, which warps them to a weird, hallucinogenic counterpart of Fourside known as [[Moonside]]. Navigating through the city, Ness and Jeff discover and destroy the Mani-Mani Statue, which causes Moonside to disappear.

Back in reality, Apple Kid once again calls Ness about a new invention called the yogurt dispenser, albiet it only is able to dispense trout-flavored yogurt at this time, and sends it to Ness through Escargo Express. However, the delivery boy carelessly drops the dispenser in the desert, forcing Ness to return there yet again. There, he encouters a talking monkey that takes him to [[Talah Rama]], a wise sage that gives Ness the yogurt dispenser and teaches him PK Teleport. Ness and Jeff then return back to Fourside and gives the dispenser to Monotoli's maid, who allows Ness and Jeff to enter the Monotoli Building free of charge. Navigating the building, Ness and Jeff battle various [[Sentry Robot]]s before encountering a [[Clumsy Robot]], who, despite its weak appearance, is surprisingly powerful. Fortunately, the Runaway Five barge in and turn off the robot, and Ness and Jeff proceed to Monotoli's office. Inside, Monotoli cowers in fear due to losing the Mani-Mani Statue, and allows Paula to rejoin Ness. Monotoli also explains to Ness that the statue constantly told him to not allow Ness and his friends to enter [[Summers]], concluding that Ness should go to Summers in order to slow Giygas's plans. Although the Mayor tells Ness and his friends to use his helicopter to reach the city, Pokey takes the helicopter for himself and escapes, leaving Ness with no way to get to Summers. Fortunately, Paula gets an instinct that they should return to Threed, and travel there with the Runaway Five. After returning to Threed, Jeff repairs the Sky Runner, and they set flight for [[Winters]] to discover the fourth sanctuary.

The group then cross the ocean and arrive in [[Summers]], and the nearby port town of [[Toto]], where the group enters the [[Stoic Club]] and meet a mysterious lady that sells "Magic Cake". Ness eats the cake, but falls unconscious and dreams of a far-off land known as Dalaam. There, a young prince named [[Poo]], who must complete his training at [[Mu]] by the request of his master, begins to meditate and encounters the spirit of his ancestor, who successively cripples various parts of Poo's body as part of the training. Afterwards, Poo has completed his training and returns to normal, then is instructed to join Ness and his party on their journey by his master. Poo teleports to Summers and finds Ness before joining his group. Ness then enters the Scaraba Cultural museum and obtains a set of hieroglyphics telling the group about [[Scaraba]], a country with a mysterious pyramid containing the mystical Hawk Eye. The group then hears a phone call from [[Mr. Spoon]] of Fourside, who tells Ness that he has discovered something amazing, but will only show it if the player gives him the signature of Venus, a singer at the Toppolla Theater. The group gains the signature and are able to discover the fifth sanctuary, then travel back to Dalaam to discover the sixth sanctuary.

After returning to Summers, the four enter Toto, where they procure a boat and travel to [[Scaraba]], but encounter a mighty [[Kraken]] along the way. After defeating the Kraken, they arrive in Scaraba, where they explore a pyramid in the desert and gain the Hawk Eye. Outside the Pyramid, Ness and his party encounter the [[Star Master]], who requests that Poo leave the party with him in order to learn PK Starstorm. Poo leaves, and the rest of the party discover [[Dungeon Man]], previously Brick Road. Dungeon Man briefly travels with them before becoming entangled in various trees. Despite this, however, Ness and his friends acquire a submarine within Dungeon Man and travel into the [[Deep Darkness]], a path leading them under the earth. Using the Hawk Eye, Ness is able to navigate through the Deep Darkness, where they once again encounter Master Belch, now known as [[Master Barf]]. After battling Barf, Poo suddenly reappears and finishes off Barf by unleashing PK Starstorm. With Barf defeated, they find [[Tenda Village]], a small community populated by extremely shy creatures known as [[Tenda]]. Apple Kid then calls Ness again, telling him that he is now working with Dr. Andonuts to create a machine known as the [[Phase Distorter]]. Suddenly, Apple Kid finds himself and Andonuts kidnapped by Pokey, who also steals the prototype phase distorter. Returning to Winters, the group infiltrate the [[Stonehenge Base]] and battle the [[Starman Deluxe]], the overseer of the base. After defeating the Starman Deluxe, Andonuts and Apple Kid are rescued, and Apple Kid gives Ness the [[List of key items in EarthBound#Shyness book|book of overcoming shyness]].

Returning to Tenda Village, Ness gives the book to the village chief, who reads it to the entire tribe and allows all of them to overcome their shyness. This enables Ness to speak to the villagers, who allow passage to a dark, ominous cave, which contains the seventh sanctuary. The group then enters the [[Lost Underworld]]. There, they discover more Tenda and a talking Rock, who tells Ness of his destiny to unite the sanctuaries. Ness and the group then reach the final sanctuary, but Ness falls unconscious and enters a strange world composed of his dreams afterward known as, [[Magicant#In EarthBound|Magicant]]. There, he travels to the [[Sea of Eden]] and encounters [[Ness's Nightmare|his nightmare]], the embodiment of Ness's evil. After defeating it, Magicant vanishes, and Ness absorbs the power of all eight sanctuaries, becoming incredibly powerful before awakening.

After awakening, Ness and the group return to Saturn Valley where Dr. Andonuts, Apple Kid, and various Mr. Saturns have created a new Phase Distorter, a time traveling device. Unfortunately, however, they find that the machine does not work, as it is lacking a critical component: Zyoxinite, a rare material only found in asteroid deposits. Recalling the asteroid in Onett, Ness returns to his home, only to find the area invaded by hordes of Giygas's soldiers and its inhabitants locked in their homes. Ness makes his way through the invaded town and reclaims the meteorite, then returns to Saturn Valley to give the material to Dr. Andonuts. After upgrading the machine, Andonuts explains to the kids that the machine cannot warp them to the past in their current form, as living things cannot withstand time travel and it would likely destroy their human bodies. To remedy this problem, Andonuts proposes to them to have their souls transplanted into robotic bodies, though not without warning them that he doesn't know whether or not the process is reversible. Despite this critical warning, Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo are willing to take the risk.

Now in the form of robots, Ness and his friends use the Phase Distorter to travel to the [[Caves of the Past]], the lair of Giygas and his men. Upon reaching the end of the cave, they encounter Giygas and Pokey, who informs the group that Giygas became so powerful that his mind was completely destroyed, referring to him as an "all-mighty idiot", and can only be contained within the ominous Devil's Machine. The group battle and defeat Pokey, who then shuts off the Devil's Machine to release Giygas, trapping the kids in a chaotic dimension composed of his own indefinable being. Since Giygas is too powerful for Ness and his friends to overcome by fighting, Paula begins to pray, reaching out to the inhabitants of the Earth, including family members and friends, who all pray for their safety, and eventually, she reaches out to the player. The combined prayers of both Earth's inhabitants and the player reach Giygas and exploit his weakness, which turns out to be human emotions. Giygas begins to loose his grasp on reality and begins to deteriorate, causing Pokey to panic and escape through time travel. Giygas then vanishes from existence, along with the damage he had done to Eagleland and the rest of the Earth. As a result, the souls of Ness and his friends depart from their robot bodies, travel back to the present and return to their respective bodies. After bidding each other farewell, the heroes return to their homes.

After the ending credits, Picky Minch comes to Ness's house in the middle of the night and gives him a letter from Pokey that says "''Come and get me loser. Spankety, spankety, spankety!''", and the game ends with him and Ness pondering what has become of him.
