'''Porky''', oftenly entitled '''Lord''', '''(Pig) King''' or '''Master''', originally localized as '''Pokey''', is a character from the [[wikibound:Mother (series)|''MOTHER'' series]], known as ''Earthbound'' in America. He is the major antagonist in ''[[wikibound:Earthbound|EarthBound/MOTHER 2]]'', and is the main villain in ''[[wikibound:Mother 3|MOTHER 3]]''. Porky appears as a boss in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in his Spider-bed 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 [http://smashbros.com Smash Bros. DOJO!!]. Several depictions of Porky as a kid appear in the background of the [[New Pork City]], along with his statue. A variation of ''His Highness{{'}} Theme'' is among the playable tracks in New Pork City.
 
Though [[Nintendo of America]] localised his name as "Pokey" in ''EarthBound'', they used "Porky" in his subsequent appearances in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. His original name, ポーキー (Pōkī), can be interpreted as either, but with ''MOTHER 3''{{'}}s "pig" themes, fans believe ''Porky'' to be the intended name.<ref>[http://earthboundcentral.com/2012/01/pokey-or-porky/ Pokey or Porky?]</ref>
 
==Role in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]]==
When Lucas walks alone in [[The Ruined Zoo]], [[The Pig King Statue|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 [[Ness#PK Thunder|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 ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is outside the ''Mother'' series' canon.

|''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?''
|''In Earthbound, Porky was just a chubby, selfish little boy. But by the time Mother 3 comes around... well, just look at what he's become. It would probably take another two full games just to explain how this remarkable transformation came to pass. Oh, Porky, where in the world did you go wrong...?''
