Porky (as a kid) along with his statue make an appearance in the background of the New Pork City stage; his theme is also playable in New Pork City.

Role in Subspace Emissary
When Lucas was walking alone in The Ruined Zoo, a giant statue of Porky Minch appears and begins chasing him through the zoo, attempting to crush Lucas. At the end of the scene, Lucas got his leg stuck under a root and was about to be killed by the Statue, when Ness appeared to Lucas's rescue, destroying the statue by using PK Thunder and PK Flash. It revealed a spider-like machine that had Porky inside it, and the boys battled him. Ness and Lucas defeated Porky and destroyed the machine.

Trivia

 * Even though Ness and Lucas are from different games, they probably allied because both Ness and Lucas have fought Porky.
 * Porky is the only boss in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to interact ONLY with the characters from his own series; interacting only with Ness and Lucas.
 * When Mother 2/Earthbound was released in America, Porky was mistranslated to Pokey.
