Jeff Andonuts (ジェフ・アンドーナッツ,Jeff Andonuts) is a character originally appearing inEarthBound, as one ofNess' friends and a party member. He is the only playable character inEarthBound to lack PSI powers, so he uses guns and rockets instead. He appears as atrophy inSuper Smash Bros. Melee andSuper Smash Bros. Brawl as well as anAssist Trophy inBrawl,Super Smash Bros. 4, andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Origin[edit]
Jeff first appeared inEarthBound. InEarthBound, Jeff is an intelligent kid who is the same age as Ness and is attending a school inWinters, but escapes in the middle of the night when he heardPaula's telepathic call for help. He arrives in the Sky Runner to save Ness and Paula from the underground cell inThreed, and joins them on their adventure.
Bottle Rockets are battle items found throughout theEarthBound series. InEarthBound they are Jeff's signature weapon, which only he is capable of using. There are three types of bottle rockets inEarthBound: Bottle rockets, Big bottle rockets, and the Multi bottle rocket. Bottle rockets are one of the most effective items inEarthBound due to the large amount of damage they deliver to a single enemy. Starting withBrawl, Jeff appears as anAssist Trophy and uses the Big bottle rocket (known as Pencil Rocket ×5 in Japan), which launches four small bottle rockets and one large one. The design of the bottle rockets are directly based off of their appearance in the Japanese instruction manual forMother 2. The side of the big bottle rocket inSmash reads "EAGLELAND" on its side, which is the name of Ness and Paula's home country inEarthBound.
Jeff appears to be sweating whenever he appears as an Assist Trophy. This is likely based on him sweating nervously on the naming screen ofEarthBound while awaiting the player's choice of name for him.
InSuper Smash Bros.[edit]
Jeff appears on thecongratulations screen upon completing the1P Game withNess.
InSuper Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
Jeff appears as atrophy inMelee.
Trophy[edit]
- Jeff
- Another of Ness's close friends in EarthBound, Jeff is the only son of the famous scientist,Dr. Andonuts. Jeff is a mechanical genius, able to turn common, broken tools into complex weapons like theHungry HP-sucker and theSlime Generator. He's a bit on the shy side but incredibly intelligent and brave in the heat of battle.
- EarthBound (6/95)
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
As anAssist Trophy[edit]
InBrawl, Jeff appears as anAssist Trophy. Once he sets it up and nervously takes cover, Jeff launches four bottle rockets and one big bottle rocket, all of which home in on the nearest opponent. The number of times he does this is dependent on his summoner's standing in the current match; the lower their overall standing, the more volleys of rockets that Jeff will fire off. Regardless, there is a small chance Jeff will fire a second volley normally.
Jeff has a spawn chance of24/760.
Trophy[edit]
- Jeff
- Dr. Andonuts's son, who attends a boarding school in Winters. He receives a telepathic message from Paula saying that she and Ness have been captured, and he sets out to rescue them. He's Ness's age but has the knowledge of an established scientist. He repairs broken items and makes them into other things. As his IQ increases, so does the number of things he can create.

Trophy[edit]
- Jeff
- One of the main party members in EarthBound, he attends Snow Wood Boarding School in Winters. Jeff takes after his inventor father, Dr. Andonuts, creating devices in his free time. One of these is the bottle rocket, which fires one large missile and four smaller ones. And sometimes one extra!
- :EarthBound (06/1995)
- This boy from EarthBound is the same age as Ness and goes to Snow Wood Boarding School. His dad, the genius scientist Dr. Andonuts, was the brain behind Jeff's weapon: the big bottle rocket. It's made up of four small missiles and one large one. And...who knows? Maybe you'll even get some extra firepower out of it!
:EarthBound (1994 (JP))
InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As an Assist Trophy[edit]
Jeff returns as an Assist Trophy inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. His small rockets now have smaller explosions, launch at a lower angle, and have high base knockback and low knockback scaling, rather than the other way around. A similar knockback change was made to his large rockets, but their damage has been upped from 18% to 25%, and thus while not as effective at KOing as before, they still possess KO potential.
Training Mode describes his Assist Trophy as:Fires a volley of five bottle rockets. Can't be KO'd.
Jeff has a spawn chance of30/2086. He cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):
- Arena Ferox

- Flat Zone X (Omega, Battlefield)
- Magicant
- Pac-Land (all)
- Spiral Mountain
- Spirit Train

During the battle, Jeff appears as a hostile Assist Trophy while the Inkling puppet fighters' shooting power increases, referencing Jeff's usage and proficiency with firearms.
