Mother 2

“

I was living in the quiet, peaceful rural town of Onett, and was the energetic yet common sort of boy you'd find anywhere. And then that day arrived... What flipped my destiny on its head was a mysterious meteorite that landed in the mountains out back one night. At the crash site, I learned something terrible from a life-form not of this Earth... "I hold the fate of mankind?!"''

Ness is the main protagonist of Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back - Ness's Adventure Memoirs, a short manga series that was used to promote Mother 2 in Japan.

Along the way, he meets Paula, Jeff, and Poo, teaming up with them to fulfill the prophecy and defeat Giygas.
