'''Porky''', also known as '''King P''' and originally localized as '''Pokey''', is a character from the [[wikibound:Mother (series)|''MotherEarthBound'' series]], known as (''EarthboundMother'') in Americaseries]]. He is the secondary antagonist in ''[[wikibound:Earthbound|EarthBound]]'', and is the main antagonist in ''[[wikibound:Mother 3|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 [http://smashbros.com 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'', "Porky" was used in his subsequent appearances in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. His originalJapanese name, 「ポーキー」 (''Pōkī''), can be interpreted as either, but with ''Mother 3''{{'}}s heavier "pig" themes, "Porky" is believed to be the intended name.<ref>[http://earthboundcentral.com/2012/01/pokey-or-porky/ Pokey or Porky?]</ref>

As the events of the game progress, he's rapidly led astray and becomes Giygas's right-hand man. Afterward, he goes missing in time and then reappears in the Nowhere Islands of Mother 3. He leads the Pig Mask Army invasion but is eventually defeated by Lucas and friends.''

|''In EarthboundEarthBound, Porky was just a chubby, selfish little boy. But by the time Mother 3 comes around... well, just look at what he's become. It would probably take another two full games just to explain how this remarkable transformation came to pass. Oh, Porky, where in the world did you go wrong...?''
