There are many important characters in EarthBound, including these found below!

Ness's Family

Ness's Father is not seen in person, but Ness may call him at any time on the phone to save progress and find out how much experience is needed to gain a level. Ness's father also deposits money in Ness's bank account for every monster he defeats.

Tracy, Ness's sister, may also be found in Ness's house in Onett. She has a part time job with Escargo Express. Give her a call to store or pick up items!
