Ness is playable in both versions of the game, he is unlockable in the 3DS version and a starter in the Wii U version. Ness was buffed in his transition to this game: his extra 10 grab-release frames were removed so he is no longer vulnerable to grab-release combos. His recovery was greatly improved, it no longer disappears when hitting an opponent until the "tail" leaves his body, additionally Ness has a small window where he can use PK Thunder again if he crashes into a wall or ceiling. Due to these buffs, Ness is now a high tier character ranked 28th out of 58 characters, tied with Lucas, being his best placement to date and similar to his placement in the Japanese version of the original game.

===Trophy discription===
====Ness====
::NTSC: ''Hailing from Onett, a small town in Eagleland, this young boy's ordinary looks hide his psychic powers. Ness fought against the evil Giygas in Earthbound, and in Smash Bros. he unleashes some of the same PSI moves. Watch out for PK Thunder, a guided attack that can also launch Ness like a rocket!''
::PAL: ''From Onett in Eageland comes this young lad. He may not look like much, but he has powerful psychic abilities, and they really come in handy in EarthBound. They come in handy in this game, too. Did you know you can control his PK Thunder bolt? Aim it at Ness himself to send him flying, absolutely clobbering anyone in his path!''
====Ness (Alt.)====
::NTSC: ''Ness may have psychic powers, but that doesn't mean he shies away from getting physical. His side smash packs a real punch if you hit enemies with the end of his bat, and it can even deflect projectiles! His up and down smashes also have a lot of range - Ness can land his strikes with ease!''
::PAL: ''Ness may have psychic powers, but that doesn't mean he shies away from getting physical. His side smash packs a real punch if you hit enemies with the end of his bat, and it can even reflect projectiles! His up and down smashes have a lot of range, meaning when you play as Ness, it's always easy to land hits on your foes!''
====PK Starstorm====
::''In EarthBound, this PSI ability belonged to Poo, the Crown Prince of Dalaam and one of Ness's friends. Ness must have learned it especially for Smash Bros.! The attack makes a shower of meteors fall onto the stage, damaging any foes it hits. While the attack's in progress, Ness is invincible and can adjust the meteors' trajectory.''
==In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]==
[[File:Ness SSBU.png|thumb|150px|Artwork of Ness in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
As the game brings back every past {{ssbwiki|veteran}} from previous games, Ness once again returns, now he is unlockable as the starting roster consists only of the original eight starting fighters from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', however he is usually the first character to be unlocked. This time Ness has been buffed significantly: most of his moveset has recieved increased KO power and combo potential, as well as reduced lag. His specials have been buffed, with PK Flash being faster no longer making him {{ssbwiki|helpless}}, PK Fire has reduced lag, PK Thunder dealing more damage and knockback, and PSI Magnet now deals direct damage. His up and down yo-yo smashes are now reverted to their pre-SSB4 render, where they are now active while being charged. They have also regained their KO potential from the original Super Smash Bros. game, and most infamously, they now hang off ledges, which combined with their KO power, makes it a lethal edge-guarding technique. The return of directional {{ssbwiki|air dodging}} greatly improves his recovery, as it is much safer to use when closer to the stage than PK Thunder. Because of these buffs, Ness is now a much stronger fighter than he has ever been in previous games. He has achived excellent tournament results in Ultimate's early metagame, whith many players reguarding him as a high or even top tier fighter.

Ness has received aesthetic changes to his special moves, where they now display graphics similar to there respective animations from [[EarthBound]], an example being PK Flash displaying bright circular flashes. When Ness uses PK Starstorm, the background shows graphics similar to the [[Sound Stone]]'s background pattern. Additionally [[Paula]] and [[Poo]] now appear and assist Ness as he uses PK Starstorm.
===[[smashwiki:Classic Mode(SSBU)|Classic Mode]]===
Ness's Classic Mode route is named '''Home to Onett!''', which is based on his adventure in reverse from [[Magicant]] to [[Onett]], possibly referencing the end game where Ness rerurns home after defeating [[Giygas]]. Ness's credits theme is [[Smiles and Tears]] referencing the credits in [[EarthBound]].

Ness was vaporized by {{ssbwiki|Galeem}}'s attack and turned into a spirit along with everyone else (sans [[wikirby:Kirby|Kirby]].
Ness's spirit can be found in the Light Relm in a pink cloud area based off of [[Magicant]]. After defeating it, Ness is freed and can be selected in battle throughout the World of Light adventure.

==In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]==
:'''Palutena:''' What you feel is Ness's [[PSI]].
 
:'''Pit:''' What's PSI?
 
:'''Palutena:''' It's a general term for supernatural abilities.
 
:'''Pit:''' Supernatural?! Isn't that pretty unscientific?
 
:'''Palutena:''' Said the angel to the goddess.
 
:'''Pit:''' What are you getting at?
 
:'''Palutena:''' Pit, we're having this conversation via telepathy. Meanwhile, the power of flight is a type of psychokinesis, and I see you from the heavens using clairvoyance. Finally, I call you back from the battlefield with something akin to teleportation.
 
:'''Pit:''' And believe me, I truly appreciate all that...stuff...you do...with things...
 
:'''Palutena:''' Anyway, if Ness tries to {{ssbwiki|recover}} via [[PK Thunder]] and you reflect it, that will really ruin his day. Give it a try when you get a chance!

==Trivia==
*Only PK Flash can be used by Ness in EarthBound, as PK Fire, PK Thunder and PSI Magnet are learned by Paula and Poo, and PK Starstorm can only be learned by Poo. However his trophy discriptions in Melee, Brawl and SSB4 mention that Paula and Poo taught him the respective moves to use them in Smash.
