Appearance

Apple Kid is first encountered in his house in Twoson, which is below Orange Kid's house. When interacted with, he asks Ness for some food and $200; should Ness give those to Apple Kid, the mouse would give Ness areceiver phone, which Apple Kid would periodically call to inform Ness about an invention that he had completed.

After Ness and his party arrived atTenda Village, Apple Kid would call Ness, informing that he'll be unavailable for some time, as he would be working withDr. Andonuts,Gerardo Montague and theMr. Saturns construct thePhase Distorter. However, mid-call he was abducted by Porky, who stole the Phase Distorter and trapped him inside a tube full of strange liquid inStonehenge Base until Ness rescued him. He then tells Ness where thebook of overcoming shyness was located and starts working on a new Phase Distorter, which Ness and his friends later use to combat Giygas.

During the battle with Giygas, Apple Kid was among the first people topray for the safety of Ness and his friends. When they returned, Apple Kid told Ness that the chances of Giygas defeating them was 99%, however their "courage" was able to produce the 1% chance that Ness and his party would emerge victorious. He then vows to study and understand what "courage" is.

Inventions

Throughout Ness's journey, Apple Kid would send him inventions that conveniently solves a problem Ness and his friends were encountering. Apple Kid first invented thePencil Eraser, allowing Ness to erase the pencil statue in thePeaceful Rest Valley. Later, he would sendZombie Paper to Ness in Threed via theMach Pizzadeliveryman, allowing Ness and his party to capture the zombies guarding the entrance toGrapefruit Falls. After defeating theMani-Mani Statue, Apple Kid would attempt to send Ness theGourmet Yogurt Machine, which dispenses yogurt, however the delivery boy incompetently loses it in theDusty Dunes Desert, causing Ness and Jeff to search for it.
