'''Ness''' is a young boy from [[Onett]], who first appeared in the game ''EarthBound'' (MOTHER2ギーグの逆襲, ''Mother 2'' in Japan). Although just a normal boy, he ended up on a wild adventure to rescue his country, Eagleland, from Aliens. He also developed Psychic powers during the course of the game. He has been linked to [[Mario]] by the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Series]]''.

Ness's first [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] appearance is in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', where he must be unlocked to become playable. To unlock him, the player has to beat 1-P Mode on Normal Difficulty with 3 lives, without continuing, as any character. The player then must defeat Ness in order to unlock him. His powers are based on his PK ('''P'''sycho'''k'''inesis) moves from ''EarthBound''.  None of Ness's attacks from Super Smash Bros. were his: all of his moves were Paula's (however Paula's Trophy in ''Melee'' stated that she may have taught Ness the techniques after the events of the game).

Ness returns in the game's sequel, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Here, he is a character available at the beginning of the game. Originally, Ness was to be replaced in the game by [[Lucas]], the protagonist of ''Mother 3''. However, ''Mother 3'' turned out to be delayed until after ''Melee'' was released. As such, Ness was kept in to avoid confusion. He adds a new attack to his arsenal, [[#PK Flash|PK Flash]], which is one of his ''EarthBound'' attacks. This replaced [[#PK Fire|PK Fire]] as his standard speicial move, and PK Fire was moved to a side attack. Ness also has one of the most useful smash hits, which involves his baseball bat.

'''PK Fire''' is an attack used by Ness in all three installments of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''. In the former, it is executed by pressing the B button alone. Once the foe is hit (or the ground is hit), it will burst into a miniature wild-fire, hurting anyone caught in it. When used in mid-air, Ness will fire it downward, instead of forward. It is best used as a rapid fire attack. In the latter, it was moved as Ness' Smash B move, and still had the same effect from the original. Not much has changed, except graphical improvement. It is interesting to note, Ness could never use PK Fire in Earthbound, along with [[#PK Thunder|PK Thunder]], only Paula could. However, Paula's Trophy Bios hints that she probably taught Ness the attack.
