- Not to be confused with Pokey.
Porky, also known as King P and originally localized as Pokey, is a character from the Mother series, known as Earthbound in America. He is the secondary antagonist in EarthBound, and is the main antagonist in Mother 3. Porky appears as a boss in Super Smash Bros. Brawl in his spider-bed mech. In The Subspace Emissary, he fights Ness and Lucas and later appears in The Great Maze. His theme for Brawl was first revealed in the Smash Bros. DOJO!!. Several depictions of Porky as a kid appear in the background of the New Pork City, along with his statue. A variation of His Highness' Theme is among the playable tracks in New Pork City.
Though Nintendo of America localised his name as "Pokey" in EarthBound, they used "Porky" in his subsequent appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series. His original name, 「ポーキー」 (Pōkī), can be interpreted as either, but with Mother 3's "pig" themes, "Porky" is believed to be the intended name.[1]
