The player

The player is simply whoever is playing the game, and can be given their own alias in-game. They are mentioned in all three games, and play a vital part in EarthBound and Mother 3.

In EarthBound

The first time that the player is ever mentioned is in Summers by Tony on the phone. He breaks the 4th wall by asking the player to say their name and to make sure to take care of Jeff for him. Later, after Ness and his friends cure the Tenda of their shyness problem, the Tenda chief asks the player to sign his or her name, giving them one last chance to confirm their alias. In the final battle, after Paula runs out of people to pray for, the player prays for Ness and his friends, dealing the final damage needed to defeat Giygas. Finally, the player is given a special thanks in the credits.

In Mother 3
