In ''[[EarthBound (game)|EarthBound]]'', Ness is a courageous boy from the fictional town of [[Onett]] located in north-western Eagleland. His favorite food is Salisbury steak and his favorite thing is Rockin' or Kiai (Fighting Spirit) (hence the name of his special move in ''EarthBound'', PSI Rockin' or PK Kiai). He possesses strong psychic powers called Psychokinesis (hence the abbreviation PK, called PSI in the American adaption), and in the year | In ''[[EarthBound (game)|EarthBound]]'', Ness is a courageous boy from the fictional town of [[Onett]] located in north-western Eagleland.

He possesses strong psychic powers called Psychokinesis (hence the abbreviation PK, called PSI in the American adaption), and in the year 2000, utilizes his abilities to defeat a vengeful alien known as Giygas (although Giygas's motivation for revenge is only known from playing ''[[Mother]]''). He is the successor of Ninten, the star of the original ''Mother'' (often called "''EarthBound Zero''", lesser known by its official name of ''Earth Bound'' ), the game in the [[EarthBound (universe)|''Mother'' series]] before ''[[EarthBound (game)|EarthBound]]'' and the first out of the trilogy. Some say Ninten and Ness are identical; however, the games take place in different settings, and there are several differences between the two boys. (Ninten knows no offensive PSI attacks, for example.) | ||
On a dark night in 199X, Ness gets woken up by a meteorite crash. His natural curiosity leads him to investigate the crash site, where he meets his neighbor [[Pokey Minch]] and an alien named Buzz Buzz. Buzz Buzz tells him that he is the boy who will save the world, and sends him on a mission to collect the Eight Melodies that tie together the Earth's power. He eventually meets [[Paula Polestar|Paula]], a talented girl learned in PK attacks; the brilliant but shy boy scientist [[Jeff Andonuts]]; and [[Poo]], a mysterious prince. By recording and collecting the Eight Melodies using his Sound Stone, Ness draws the energy of the Earth into himself and achieves the strength needed for the four of them to prevail with all their courage, wisdom and friendship. Five years after the release of ''EarthBound'', Ness would make a surprise appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and continue to be playable in the series, carrying his legacy. | On a dark night in 199X, Ness gets woken up by a meteorite crash.
