'''Ness''' is a young boy from [[Onett]] and the main protagonist of ''[[EarthBound (game)|EarthBound]]''. Starting off as a normal young boy, Ness ends up on a journey to save the world from [[Giygas]]'s alien army. During his adventure, Ness develops the ability to use [[PSI]], a type of psychic power. Ness is often pictured with a [[Baseball Bat|baseball bat]], which is the first weapon acquired in ''EarthBound''.
==History==
===''EarthBound''===
In ''
They find a small bug-like alien named [[Buzz-Buzz]] coming out of the meteor, who claims he is from the future. He tells Ness that he, two other boys and one girl, will rise up, and defeat the evil warlord, [[Giygas]]. Ness and the group defeat one of Giygas's minions, the [[Starman (Mother)|Starman Junior]], and they head to Pokey and Picky's house to drop them off to their parents. However, Pokey's Mom mistakes Buzz-Buzz for a fly, and swats Buzz-Buzz, killing him. With his last minutes, he gives Ness the [[Sound Stone]] and tells him to go to the eight [["Your Sanctuary" location]]s, spread across [[Eagleland]]. Ness then starts his journey.
Line 33:
At one point during ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''{{'}}s development, Ness was supposed to be replaced by [[Lucas]], the star of ''[[Mother 3]]'' (Or ''Earthbound 64'', which was the name of the game at the time). However, the game was mass-delayed, and transferred onto the [[Game Boy Advance]], with the final release of the game in 2006. Because of this, Ness was kept in.
===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
A [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] [[List of Yoshi designs in Yoshi's Woolly World|design]] based after Ness can be unlocked in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' when players scan a Ness [[amiibo]] in.
===''Super Mario Maker''===
[[File:NessSMM.png|frame|left]]
Ness makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' as an unlockable amiibo costume for [[Costume Mario]]. Mario's 8-bit sprite takes the appearance of Ness, and his sound effects change to ones from ''EarthBound'': when acquired, the PSI healing sound effect plays. Clearing the stage plays the boss victory theme. When falling into a pit, the sound effect of Ness's party being defeated from that game plays, and pressing {{button|wii|Padup}} on the controller makes the jingle for learning a new technique play. The costume is unlocked either randomly upon completion of 100 Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty or higher, or by scanning a Ness [[amiibo]].
