Apple Kid

The Apple Kid is a character from the SNES game, EarthBound. He is described as a fat, dirty slob, but he is actually extremely intelligent and useful to the quest of Ness and his friends.

His first contribution to the quest is the Pencil Eraser, which he makes in exchange for some food and $200.00. With it, Ness could erase large metal pencils blocking his way. Later, he invents the Zombie Paper, which zombies will stick to. This comes in handy when Ness and co. first visit Threed, where it is overthrown by zombies. When Paula gets kidnapped in Fourside, the Apple Kid invents an instant yogurt maker, but all it can make so far was Trout-flavored yogurt, which ironically happened to be the favorite flavor of the maid of Monotoli. He later goes to Dr. Andonuts's lab in order to build the Phase Distorter, which he concluded is needed to defeat Giygas.

Apple Kid also has a mouse assistant. However, since it has no name, it is called the No Name Mouse.
