==Physical appearance==
Teddy is normally the fourth and last character to join [[Ninten]]'s party, although he can be the third character to join Ninten if [[the player]] gets to him before reaching [[Ana]]. It should be noted that it is not necessary to have Teddy join Ninten's party, or to even meet him, in order to finish the game. Also, while often a temporary party member, he can be kept until the end of the game if [[the player]] obtains him after climbing Mt. Itoi and repairing the boat with Lloyd.
Teddy weighs 78kg and is 188cm tall.<ref>[[:File:SomeTeddyInfo.jpg|Excerpt from Teddy's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref> He has black hair in the shape of a mohawk, with visible sideburns below his ears; although his hair appears to be colored red in his battle sprite. He appears to have muscular arms and and a muscular torso, and a prominently pointed chin. He wears a pair of red eyeglasses, a red sleeveless shirt, a pair of yellow trousers supported by a black belt, and a pair of red, white-bordered shoes with white laces; his trousers does however appear slightly more brown in his battle sprite. Additionally, he appears to have three black dots marked on his left arm in his battle sprite, possibly resembling tattoos.


Teddy is the only main character in {{vg|Mother}} who doesn't share any notable physical features with the main characters of [[EarthBound|the game's sequel]].

Additionally, he appears to have three black dots marked on his left arm in his battle sprite, possibly resembling tattoos.


==Personality and other characteristics==
Teddy is the only main character in [[EarthBound Beginnings]] who does not share any notable physical features with the main characters of [[EarthBound|the game's sequel]], although he does have similarities with the non-playable [[Frank]]. The only major similarity he shares with any of the party members in EarthBound is that both he and [[Poo]] wield [[blade|swords]].
Being the leader of a criminal gang, Teddy shows several typical properties of one. He displays violent behavior, already having taken a liking for fighting at the age of five, and frequently smokes. Already as a toddler, his behavior was similar to that of an adult, and he often carried around a package of chocolate cigarettes with him. He is however said to have been more mild-mannered before the death of his parents.<ref>"Teddy's parents were killed by mountain creatures. Before that, he was a gentle kid." - NPC</ref> He likes to sing,<ref>Teddy, his health fully recovered, now sings daily at The Live Show. - N/A</ref> play guitar and listen to light [[wikipedia:Rockabilly|rockabilly]] performances at the [[Live House]], an example being the [[wikipedia:Blue Suede Shoes|Blue Suede Shoes]]<!--"ブルースウェードシューズ"-->.<ref>[http://kenisu.webs.com/motherencyclopedia.htm MOTHER Encyclopedia - The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant]</ref> Teddy possesses some of the best [[Status|stats]] among the playable characters of the game, featuring the best [[Status#HP|HP]], [[Status#Offense|Offense]] and [[Status#Speed|Speed]]. His main weapons are [[Blade|knives and swords]], a trait being partly succeeded by [[Poo]] in [[EarthBound]].


Among his favorite things are his guitar, his cigarettes, his sunglasses, his leather jacket, his pet iguana, and his book on [[wikipedia:Eikichi Yazawa|E. Yazawa]].<ref>[[:File:TeddysFavoriteThings.gif|Excerpt from Teddy's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref><ref>[http://kenisu.webs.com/motherencyclopedia.htm MOTHER Encyclopedia - The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant]</ref> He occasionally plays on his guitar while being inside his room, where he quietly hums on a ballad along the sound of the guitar. It's implied that he got the sunglasses when he was looking in a store for a pair, and when the store was revealed to not be selling any, he punched out the front teeth of the store owner, who in obligation took a pair of glasses and named it "Teddy Glass"<!--「テディグラス」--> after the one who had attacked him, and thereafter sold it to him. His leather jacket does he prefer to not wear, hinted to be because of his dislike of spending time with his fellow gang members; the jacket does instead act as a memento of his father after his death. He got the pet iguana from one of the rivaling criminal groups, the Jet Lizard Gang<!--ジェットリザードだん-->, after a fight where the Bla-Bla Gang was victorious. The Jet Lizard Gang swore allegiance to Teddy after the incident, and gave him the iguana to prove it; despite his dislike of it, Teddy ended up raising and taking care of the iguana. The autobiography by Eikichi Yazawa, a Japanese musician, was sent to him by one of his fellow gang members, Koyano<!--コヤノ-->. In spite of the fact that he does not understand Japanese, he can feel the message written within.<ref>[http://kenisu.webs.com/motherencyclopedia.htm MOTHER Encyclopedia - The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant]</ref>

Teddy was named after the car repair factory of his parents, which went under the name "TEDDY". Already at the age of three did Teddy display more adult-like properties, where he also used to carry around a package of chocolate cigarettes. He started to enjoy fighting at the age of five, and at the age of ten he surpassed 170 cm in height and switched his chocolate cigarettes to real ones. He was eleven years old during the first time he arrived home in a patrol car, and at he did at the age of twelve lie and say that he was twice his actual age to take up a graveyard shift at the [[Live House]]. He used his wages to purchase a Siamese cat to his parents as a present at the age of thirteen, and became the leader of the [[Bla-Bla Gang]] when he was fourteen.<ref>[http://kenisu.webs.com/motherencyclopedia.htm MOTHER Encyclopedia - The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant]</ref>


Teddy first meets [[Ninten]] in the [[Live House]] after the party's musical performance, and challenges him to a fight, accusing Ninten of beating up some of his [[B.B. Gang|gang members]]. After a few turns, Teddy stops fighting and deems Ninten a strong person, asking him to travel with him for a while. He wants to go to [[Mt. Itoi]] to avenge his parents that were killed there, and takes [[Ninten]] and [[Ana]] up the mountain, taking [[Lloyd]]'s place.

During the events of [[EarthBound Beginnings]], Teddy first meets [[Ninten]] in the [[Live House]] after the party's musical performance, where he challenges him to a fight, accusing Ninten of beating up some of his [[B.B. Gang|gang members]]. After a few turns, Teddy stops fighting and deems Ninten a strong person, asking him to travel with him for a while. He wants to go to [[Mt. Itoi]] to avenge his parents that were killed there, and takes [[Ninten]] and [[Ana]] up the mountain, taking [[Lloyd]]'s place.


While going up Mt. Itoi, the trio rest at a cabin on the mountain plateau. However, during their stay, they are attacked by [[R7038|a massive robot]]. Teddy got severe injuries after the ambush, while Ninten and Ana make it out safely, due to a lucky save by Lloyd and his borrowed tank. He is left to recover at a healer's house near Mt. Itoi's base for the rest of the game.

After the game's events, Teddy is shown to have recovered from his injuries, and is confirmed to be daily singing at the [[Live House]]. In the original Japanese version of {{vg|Mother}}, however, his fate is left ambiguous, possibly implying that he died. However, [[Mother 1+2]], released in Japan, added the ending sequence that was added to the English prototype.

Teddy is battled under the name '''B.B.'s Boss''' in the [[Live House]] after the party's performance, where he first compliments them on their song, and then asks them if they were the ones who had injured his fellow gang members. Despite what [[the player]] chooses to answer, Teddy will still believe that they were the ones who did it, and fight them. The battle will however only last for three turns, as he gets impressed by [[Ninten]]'s ability to fight, calling the match a draw. He explains how he seeks vengeance for his dead parents and that he wants them to assist him, and does subsequently join Ninten's party, where he takes [[Lloyd]]'s place, doubting in his ability to fight.

Teddy's enemy sprite shows him holding a knife in the Japanese [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] version of {{vg|Mother}}, though it was removed in the English prototype and [[Mother 1+2]] port.

===In-game description===
==In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]==
"''Maybe he is not really rotten to the core....''"
Teddy has a {{sw|Sticker}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], which increases a character's resistance to battering attacks by 10 in {{sw|The Subspace Emissary}}. He also has a [[Spirit]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] which allows players to start the battle with a {{sw|Killing Edge}} as a reference to the Katana.

==Trivia==
*[[Pippi]]'s stats are identical to Teddy's, however because Teddy is met at a higher level and Pippi stays for a short time, it's difficult to notice right away.
*Oddly, even if the player doesn't trigger the incident with the tank on Mt. Itoi, or even just skips obtaining Teddy entirely, the ending still states that he "fully recovered".
*Jack was his early fan-name among English fans, originating from the shop in [[Youngtown]] being named "Jack"; Teddy happens to bear a resemblance to the boy running the shop. When his real name was discovered, it was phased out.
*The police officers use the same overworld sprite as Teddy, but discolored and slightly modified.
*Teddy is often compared to [[Frank Fly]] from EarthBound, as both are misguided leaders of gangs who reform upon being defeated by the player.
