Porky
- Not to be confused with Pokey.
Porky, otherwise known as The Pig King and localized as Pokey Minch in EarthBound (still called Porky in Mother 2), is a character from the Mother series, known as Earthbound in America. He is a major character in EarthBound/MOTHER 2, appearing as Ness's rival, and is the main antagonist in Mother 3. Porky appears as a boss in Super Smash Bros. Brawl in his Spider Mech. In the Subspace Emissary, he fights Ness and Lucas and later appears in The Great Maze. His theme for Brawl was first revealed in the Smash Bros. DOJO!!. Several depictions of Porky as a kid appear in the background of the New Pork City, as well as his statue. A variation of His Highness' Theme is among the playable tracks in New Pork City.
Role in Subspace Emissary
When Lucas walks alone in The Ruined Zoo, a giant statue of Porky Minch appears and begins chasing him through the zoo, attempting to crush him. At the end of the scene, Lucas gets his leg stuck under a root and is about to be hit by the Statue, when Ness appears to Lucas's rescue, destroying the statue by using PK Thunder and PK Flash. It reveals Porky inside his spider-like bed machine, and the boys battle him. Ness and Lucas defeat Porky and destroy the machine. His appearance in Brawl is outside the Mother series' canon.

SNES EarthBound (06/1995) | Porky was just a chubby, selfish little boy in EarthBound. When he next appeared, in Mother 3, look what he'd become! We might need another two games just to explain how this occurred. Oh, Porky, what in Eagleland (or beyond?) happened to change you so? |
Trivia
- Of all the bosses in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Porky is the only one who interacts with characters who are from his own series only; only interacting with Ness and Lucas.
