Ness's Nightmare is a boss in EarthBound, appearing in Ness's version of Magicant. Ness's Nightmare is a representation of the evil part of Ness's mind, and he must defeat it to overcome his evil side; appropriately, the sprite of this enemy is extremely similar to that of the Mani-Mani Statue. As a part of Ness, it has the ability to use PSI Rockin. It begins the battle with PSI Shield α, but it can also cast Shield β on itself.
