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 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 when he was twelve years old, lied and said 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 name=kenisu/> | Teddy was named after the car repair factory of his parents, which went under the name "TEDDY".

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. | 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]].

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 [[EarthBound Beginnings]], however, the extended ending is omitted, which left his fate ambiguous. However, [[Mother 1+2]], released in Japan, added the ending sequence that was added to the English prototype. | 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]].

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 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.
