Ness wears a blue shirt with yellow stripes, a brown backpack, blue shorts, red shoes with white socks, and a red baseball cap with a blue bill turned to its side. According to the ''[[EarthBound Player's Guide]]'', his cap has his favorite baseball team's logo on it. Ness is implied to be overweight by several NPCs, plus in the game's epilogue a person says Ness has lost weight further implying this. While his original clay model and appearence in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Brawl'' depict him to be overweight, his American clay model and appearence in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and onward depict him as being more slender. | Ness wears a blue shirt with yellow stripes, a brown backpack, blue shorts, red shoes with white socks, and a red baseball cap with a blue bill turned to its side.

Ness's age varies depending on the source. The earliest known instance of Ness having a confirmed age was in the [https://earthboundcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/preview2.jpg Nintendo power preview] of ''EarthBound'' stating him to be 13 years old, which was also his age in the [[EarthBound Player's Guide]] and European website <ref>"The future remains uncertain for teenage hero, Ness. Although just 13 years old, he is the undisputed champion of the world." -''EarthBound Player's Guide''</ref><ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Super-Nintendo/EarthBound-771110.html#Characters EarthBound page on UK Nintendo site, characters page]</ref>. Despite this, when asked by Clyde Mandelin reguarding his age, Shigesato Itoi stated that Ness was never intended to have an "official age", and instead compared him to his daughter who was in fourth or fifth grade at the time<ref>I don't think he had an 'official age', actually. Plus the game's development took so long, he might have aged overtime anyway. However my own daughter was in fourth or fifth grade at the time, which held a very strong spot in my mind. She would put on a backpack (just like Ness's) and head out to all sorts of places, you know?</ref>. Furthermore, Ness is stated to actually be 12 years old in the Japanese guidebook for ''[[Mother 1+2]]''. | ||
Ness lives on a hill in the northern outskirts of the town of Onett along with his family: his mother, father, and his sister Tracy, along with their dog King. Ness appears to have an interest in baseball due to his primary choice of [[weapon]]s being [[baseball bat]]s and his baseball cap having his favorite team logo on it. Ness's [[favorite food]] is steak, it's implied that his family has steak often because of him, as in the ending his mother says that his family hasn't been having steak as often since he left. | Ness lives on a hill in the northern outskirts of the town of Onett along with his family: his mother, father, and his sister Tracy, along with their dog King.

In ''Super Mario Maker'' Ness can be obtained as a {{mw|Mystery Mushroom}} power-ups by completing the 100 Mario Challenge on normal mode, or by scanning his [[amiibo]] figure.
