Articles About Jeff Andonuts
Official Media MOTHER 2 - Manga - Super Smash Bros.

Man, oh, man, did that ever scare me! The sky runner... I guess it took a little damage while landing... Oh well...

You don't have to explain a thing... I'm Jeff. I came because you called me. I'm not very strong, really near-sighted, kind of shy, and I tend to be a little reckless. This is just the way I am...

I hope you want me to be your friend... okay?

~ Jeff befriending Ness

Background

Jeff Andonuts (ジェフ Jefu) is a character in MOTHER 2 (localized as EarthBound). He is the second character to join Ness, and also the only permanent member of his team who is unable to use PSI abilities. To compensate, he can repair objects, although what exactly he can repair is based on his IQ level and the broken items he has in his inventory. He usually uses guns as his primary weapons, along with an assortment of different projectile items like bottle rockets.

Jeff Andonuts is a resident of the Snow Wood Boarding School in Winters, FoggyLand, and the son of the great professor Dr. Andonuts when he joins the adventure. Paula communicates with him telepathically to rescue her and Ness from captivity in Threed. After acquiring the Sky Runner from his father, Jeff travels to Threed and rescues Ness and Paula, securing his place as one of the chosen four.

In MOTHER 1 Ninten is told by Ana's father that they will be victorous on their journey and that his prayers will be heard), Fate Protection, Time Manipulation, & Dream Manipulation (Passive; Paula is among a chosen one apart of a universal system of destiny[4] Able to turn Paula's defeats into bad dreams to prevent her from failing her journey, All events in the series are predestined to happen.

It exists only within the mind of the user and is shaped entirely by their thoughts and desires. Magicant World's are shaped from the users perspective. Maria for example warped her own world to fit her views as a Queen. Ness's Magicant was shaped almost like a Town with stars and planets in the background. Along with that, users of Magicant can create weapons, equipments, healing items, and inhabitants that represent a certain side to their mind (A strong example would be the Flying Men which represents the users own courage). Some inhabitants act as enemies that will attack or serve as either a memory of the users own experience or simple civilians. It's unknown if there is a Sea of Eden in other variations of Magicant, however it is stated by Talah Rama that the Truth makes itself known to humanity with Magicant. Magicant only disappears once the goal of the user has been met. To provide some insight, Maria's goal was to recover from amnesia and remember the melody she sung to Giygas, and Ness's goal was to awaken his full potential by touching the Universal System. The journey has to be a momentous part of the person's life that culminates in an event that causes them to look inward and triggers the ability to access their magicant).

Other

Standard Tactics: As he is the only member of his team who cannot use PSI, he utilizes an array of gadgets to deal with enemies and support his teammates. He primarily damages enemies with his guns and the Heavy Bazooka, though he also has access to powerful bottle rockets that cause huge damage when launched, the Multi Bottle Rocket in particular being able to blow away even the toughest enemies usually in one hit. Aside from offense, he has a plethora of support gadgets in order to cripple enemies in various ways, in addition to being able to boost the entire team's defense with the Defense Shower. He should typically lead off with the spy ability in order to gauge his enemy's stats, weaknesses, and equipment so he has a better idea of how defeat them properly.

  1. "Winter is home to the son of a famous scientist. He is the same age as Ness, so they have a lot to talk about." -EarthBound Player's Guide
  2. In MOTHER 2, Paula’s mom tells Ness not to worry about Paula, because “God is with her”. In EarthBound, this was localized to “She has a guardian angel, it seems.”
    It’s not a big deal, and it’s pretty well-known that NOA didn’t want any religious stuff in their games back then, so the change is to be expected. I think the guardian angel line sounds better, anyway. But yeah, there’s no way NOA would’ve let a mention of the Christian God fly in their games back then.
    But note that even though she mentions God in MOTHER 2, there are no real serious religious themes in the game. So don’t take this one change out of context and make a big deal out of it 😛
  3. In MOTHER 2, during part of Paula’s first prayer, she says something like, “Please, God, if you’re there…” or possibly even, “Please, God, if you’re real…”
    In EarthBound, this religious reference got the smack-down and was trimmed to just, “Please…”
  4. Listen well, Ness. I am about to tell you something so important that you should probably write this down.
    Ready? You are a chosen one. Your destiny is not yours alone… It is part of a universal “system”.
