| '']'' (unofficially known as ''EarthBound Zero'') is a ] ], and has a sequel titled '']'' (known in North America as '']''). While the game was translated and official English names for all of the following characters are available, it was never released in the ].<ref name="LLO">{{cite web | url= http://www.lostlevels.org/200407/200407-earthbound.shtml | title= Spotlight: EarthBound | publisher= Lost Levels Online}}</ref> | |||

| ===Ninten=== | |||
| <!-- Deleted image removed: ] --> | |||
| {{nihongo|'''Ninten'''|ニンテン}} is the first controllable character in the ] ] ] '']''. He has psychic abilities accompanied with a mysterious background.<ref name="SM">{{cite web | url= http://starmen.net/mother1/ | title= Mother/EarthBound Zero | publisher= ]}}</ref> | |||
| In the prologue sequence of ''Mother'', Ninten must control the influences of a mischievous ] on the ornaments within his house. Examples of such items under the control of the poltergeist include a lamp and a doll, both of which Ninten must battle. After that he is set to investigate the origin of these strange phenomena, which also occur in the rest of the world, that are actually caused by ].<ref name="SM">{{cite web | url= http://starmen.net/mother1/ | title= Mother/EarthBound Zero | publisher= ]}}</ref> | |||
| ] is said to be the equivalent of Ninten in the sequel '']'' (known as '']'' in North America). Both Ness and Ninten share similar roles in their corresponding games, in addition to having similar appearances.<ref name="RP">{{cite web | url= http://www.rpgamer.com/games/mother/mother1_2/reviews/mother1_2rdrev1.html | title= Mother 1| publisher= ]}}</ref> | |||
| Little known fact: Ninten has Asthma. | |||
| ===Loid=== | |||
| ] | |||
| {{nihongo|'''Loid'''|ロイド|Roido}} is one of the major characters of the NES game '']''. Loid is considered the weakling among ]'s teammates (as well as Loid's own schoolmates) and usually uses guns to substitute for his weak physical strength.<ref name="M">{{cite web | url= http://wind.prohosting.com/magicant/cast/ | title= Mother Cast | publisher= Magicant}}</ref> His offense power increases little by little as the game progresses, rounding him out to be the second weakest character. Loid is unable to use any PSI powers, though his greater range of attack items helps to balance this out. He is the only character in the game who can use more powerful attack items, such as bottle rockets and bombs. In the beginning, Loid was considered a nerdy boy that no one was fond of and was picked on by the other children. Because of this, Loid usually hides within the garbage to avoid people from picking on him. He finally joins Ninten's team after Ninten shows him some bottle rockets. It should also be noted that Loid is the counterpart of the ] hero ]<ref name="RP">{{cite web | url= http://www.rpgamer.com/games/mother/mother1_2/reviews/mother1_2rdrev1.html | title= Mother 1| publisher= ]}}</ref> in that both were very intelligent with glasses and skilled at building inventions. | |||
| ===Ana=== | |||
| ] | |||
| {{nihongo|'''Ana'''|アナ}} is one of the major characters of '']'', and has a crush on the protagonist, ]. Ana is considered as a ] ] with weak physical strength.<ref name="M">{{cite web | url= http://wind.prohosting.com/magicant/cast/ | title= Mother Cast | publisher= Magicant}}</ref> She attacks using her ]s along with many powerful ] attacks. Before joining ], Ana lived with her father in Snowman where she was famous for her psychic powers. Ana is the counterpart of the ] heroine ]<ref name="RP">{{cite web | url= http://www.rpgamer.com/games/mother/mother1_2/reviews/mother1_2rdrev1.html | title= Mother 1| publisher= ]}}</ref> who also wore a pink dress and was considered a skilled psychic, though Ana also wears a hat, which is required to find to make her join Ninten's party. | |||
| ===Teddy=== | |||
| ] | |||
| {{nihongo|'''Teddy'''|テディ|Tedi}} is one of the major characters of '']''. Though he has no knowledge of PSI, he has enormous physical strength,<ref name="M">{{cite web | url= http://wind.prohosting.com/magicant/cast/ | title= Mother Cast | publisher= Magicant}}</ref> as well as an arsenal of ]s and ] at his disposal. | |||
| In '']'', it is revealed that Teddy's parents were killed by mountain beasts, forcing Teddy to become self dependent. Later on, he became the leader of the '''Bla Bla Gang''', a notorious gang in Valentine, though once he sees the power of ], he decides to join Ninten's group to avenge his parents, replacing Lloyd. Later at the game, he is severely injured, which forces him to leave the party. His place is filled by Lloyd again. | |||
| ==Temporary party characters== | |||
| ===Pippi=== | |||
| Pippi is a young girl who wandered from her home to the cemetery south of Mother's Day.<ref name="M">{{cite web | url= http://wind.prohosting.com/magicant/cast/ | title= Mother Cast | publisher= Magicant}}</ref> ] is requested by the town's ] (and her mother) to rescue her. After Pippi is rescued, she asks ] two "yes or no" questions. If she does not consider them as rude, she will give him the Franklin Badge, an item that deflects the PK Beam r attack. Once she is brought to the mayor's office, she will leave the party and the mayor will give ] $100 and the zoo key. | |||
| By using a save state hacker, it is possible to obtain the zoo key and keep Pippi through the whole game. This can be complicated, since the fourth character's name and stats can not be seen either in battle or out of battle. Pippi's phenomenal stat growth exponentially outgrows even Ninten in every area, save for PSI and Wisdom. Pippi was inspired by Swedish book character ]. | |||
| ===Flying Men=== | |||
| The Flying Men live together in a small house north of Magicant. If ] talks to one of them, he will join the party until his ] runs out. Once a Flying Man is gone, he cannot be revived and will be buried by his home. There are five in all, and only one can be in the party at a time. The Flying Men also appear in ''EarthBound''/''Mother 2''. | |||
| ===EVE=== | |||
| EVE is a robot created by George,<ref name="M">{{cite web | url= http://wind.prohosting.com/magicant/cast/ | title= Mother Cast | publisher= Magicant}}</ref> to assist ] and his friends at a certain point in the game. After being broken, EVE gives you the second-to-last melody. | |||
