If Ness hits himself with it, he temporarily becomes a powerful living missile as well, and it can be used as an extra jump.

− | * | + | *Ness is also an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', a starting playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and again an unlocable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He is able to use both his bat and yo-yo. Of Ness's special attacks, PK Flash is the only one he actually knew in the original game. All of his other attacks were originally [[Paula]]'s and [[Poo]]'s, making him into somewhat of an amalgamation of the three characters. In ''Melee'', Ness has three unlockable trophies. In ''Brawl'' he has two trophies, one normal one and one of his Final Smash, as well as a sticker of him. In ''Brawl'', the character [[Lucas]] from the same series is a clone of his moveset. |
− | + | **In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', he is unlocked by completing the game on Normal Mode with three lives and without use of continues. In ''Brawl'' he is unlocked by playing five matches in Brawl, reflecting ten projectiles or getting Ness to join the party in "The Subspace Emissary". | |
− | + | **In "The Subspace Army", Ness first appears in The Ruined Zoo to help Lucas escape a rampaging Pokey Statue, shattering the statue with his PK Thunder to reveal the real Pokey within in his mech suit. Ness and Lucas teamed up to defeat him. Afterwards, [[Wario]] attempted to turn Ness into a trophy with a Dark Cannon. Ness initially dodged the cannon's blasts, but when Wario turned it towards Lucas, Ness pushed Lucas out of the way to save him and was turned into a trophy. The trophy was later stolen by [[King Dedede]], who placed his own emblem on it which restored Ness to his normal form later on, after most of the other heroes had been turned into trophies and trapped in Subspace. Ness, [[Luigi]] and Dedede, the only survivors, then banded together and entered Subspace, where they freed all (or most) of the other heroes and then teamed up with them for the final battle against [[Tabuu]]. | |

The Japanese version had special themed names among Ness's other default names such as [[Mario]] (part of a Mario set) and John (after John Lennon as part of a Beatles set). |
*According to the default selections, Ness's favorite food is steak and his favorite thing is rocking. | *According to the default selections, Ness's favorite food is steak and his favorite thing is rocking. | ||

*Ness bears a strong resemblance to [[Ninten]], the main character of ''[[Mother]]'', to the point where they're nearly identical. There are only subtle differences in their appearances such as the two wearing their caps in opposite ways, and Ness having overalls. Oddly enough, creator [[Shigesato Itoi]] has commented on the relation between the two by saying that it is ultimately up to the player to choose whether or not Ninten or Ness are the same person, despite most evidence in the same games indicating they are different people (Ness and Ninten having different siblings, the two being the same age yet living in different decades, no evidence that Ninten/Ness has saved the world before in ''Earthbound'', etc.) | *Ness bears a strong resemblance to [[Ninten]], the main character of ''[[Mother]]'', to the point where they're nearly identical.

The way he pronounces his taunt ("Hokay" rather than "Okay") is a reference to a line in that game when character notes that Ness says hotel rather than 'otel and asks if he says hotter instead of otter. |
