Announced at E3 2001, Onett is the home of Ness, a stage centralized around the EarthBound world. It consists of two buildings on the far right and left, and a series of unstable awnings in the center. The awnings in the center of the stage will eventually give way, if enough players jump onto it. The awnings will be reset after a short period of time. On occasion, an exclamation point will appear onscreen, signifying that a car or van will pass by the bottom of the stage. These can hit you or your opponent, so they must be avoided or guarded against. Characters can only be KO'd off either side of the stage or the top of the stage, as there are no drop-off points on this stage. Although Ness appears in EarthBound which is Mother 2, the music comes from the original Mother.

In All-Star mode, this stage is played on when you face Ness and any of his teammates.

Melee Stages: Onett

Onett returns in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as Melee Stages: Onett. One change in the stage is that the right edge of the left building's roof can no longer be grabbed.

Trivia

• If the player stands just to the right of the blue house and pauses, zoom out to see the "Onett Message Board" to the right. It reads "Caution, A black van driven by this guy (seen in the picture right of the message) has been spotted driving recklessly through town. Be careful!".

• Said black van belongs to a musical group in Onett named the Runaway Five. Two of the members appear in the opening sequence for Melee as well, nearly getting run over by Ness.

• If you pause and angle the screen slightly, you can see the meteorite from Mother 2 in the background.
