Places of interest[]

North Onett[]

At the northern part of Onett, faraway from the main city, in a landscape full of cliffs, the houses of Ness and Porky Minch are found. It is here where a meteor containing a being from the future lands at the beginning of EarthBound, found by both kids when searching for Porky's brother Picky. This area also contains Lier X. Agerate's house. In addition, though unaccesible directly from the kids' houses, Giant Step lies west of where the meteor landed.

South Onett[]

This is where most people live, and where most buildings are found. This part of Onett contains a burger shop, a drugstore, a pizza store, a hospital, a hotel, a casino, a police station, a library and the Town Hall. Near the casino building, members of The Sharks can be found regularly attacking people in the street; their leader, Frank, along with Frankystein Mark II are found in the backyard. There is a locked shack in the northwest which leads to Giant Step. However, it is not allowed to pass it; Captain Strong, leader of the Onett police force, catches Ness when he is coming back from reaching the first "Your Sanctuary" location. The hotel in Onett is also an important place, as it is where Ness first hears a telepathic message from Paula.
