Story

The story of EarthBound begins with a meteor crashing into Onett, a town in a place called Eagleland. It wakes a young boy, known as Ness, and he begins to leave. His mother sees him, but lets him go, knowing her efforts will be futile. However, when Ness goes near the crash site, he is sent back. Ness goes back to sleep, but is awoken by his neighbor, a boy by the name of Pokey. Pokey asks for Ness's assistance in finding his younger brother, Picky. Picky is found near the meteor, but a bee comes out. It calls itself Buzz Buzz, and tells Ness how he must stop the evil Giygas, traveling through the land, beyond Eagleland in some parts, with three others. They go back home, but on the journey, the group is attacked by a weird force. It turns out to be a creature called Starman Junior, who fights the group. Buzz Buzz, though, sets up a shield that protects the group, and Starman Junior is defeated. They return to Pokey's house, and the two brothers are grounded. Buzz Buzz also dies, being squashed by Pokey and Picky's mother. Ness returns home, and then begins his journey. He goes to the urban of Onett and finds that a group called the Sharks is terrorizing the area.
