'''Porky Minch''' ({{ja|ポーキー・ミンチ|Pōkī Minchi}}, ''Porky/Pokey Minch''), also known as '''Pokey Minch''', '''The Pig King''', or '''King P''', is a character who originated in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}''. A self-centered and rotten brat, Porky becomes a self-aggrandizing, sadistic monarch in [[Lucas]]'s homeland after retreating through time from [[Ness]] and his party.

As the third [[boss]] of [[The Subspace Emissary]] and a member of the [[Subspace Army]], Porky sends [[Primid]]s to divert {{SSBB|Lucas}} before deploying his giant statue, The [[Pig King Statue]], that soon starts to hunt Lucas down. This statue is indestructible, so Lucas has no choice but to escape; the statue destroys containers, [[barrel]]s, [[enemies]] and even metallic buildings. Lucas finally comes to a small water marsh, which seems to save him as the Pig King Statue sinks into it, but the statue soon reappears. The Pig King Statue can even damage Lucas as it is respawning.

Lucas then stumbles after catching his foot in a grass knot, and just as the statue has him, {{SSBB|Ness}} appears and uses [[PK Thunder]] which causes the statue to tip over. The statue once again recovers and flies into the air, this time to crush Ness. However, Ness uses a [[PK Flash]] and the statue explodes, revealing Porky Minch himself piloting his mecha from ''Mother 3'', who immediately challenges Lucas and Ness.

Porky Minch attacks by moving around and by using a variety of lasers, as well as small Porky-bot enemies. Porky moves by facing towards the screen and walking side-to-side like a crab. Despite its appearance, the player can actually step on the glass vial on top of Porky's Bed-Mecha and avoid some attacks, while other times it leaves the player perfectly open to damage; but at this position, the player is capable of attacking the whole time standing up there. {{SSBB|Snake}} can plant [[Down smash|mines]] on Porky that will explode next time he attacks. However, most of the time the characters will slide off quickly. This can, however, cause the [[Earthquake Glitch]] to occur, defeating him quickly. The edge of Porky's cage is sloped, despite its appearance. This can be held as strategic value, and fast-falling attacks (e.g. [[Aether]], [[Stone]], [[Final Cutter]]) can land on Porky then slide off, out of range of his legs.

Porky is eventually taken down, making his machine explode and fall into the background, twitching. His condition after the explosion is unknown. He is brought back by [[Tabuu]] to distract the heroes in [[The Great Maze]].

 

Like all ''Brawl'' bosses, Porky can be played as in [[Boss Battles]] through [[hacking]], which will assign debug controls to Player 3. His Rush Attack is absent, but everything else is intact.

Like all bosses, Porky is controllable with hacks in [[Boss Battles Mode]]. The start button will, like all other bosses, self-destruct him.

|Thrust Attack<br>({{ja|突き攻撃|Tsuki Kōgeki}})|| {{Button|GCN|A|s=32px}} || Porky's walker does a flurry of stabs, inflicting extremely heavy damage if all blows land (nearly 100% on Intense). The last hit alone has decent knockback, and on Very Hard (Intense in Boss Battles) most hits landing can lead to a KO. It is possible to [[DI]] out of it by approaching towards him and jumping above. Some characters can [[crouch]] under this move. || 1

|Jump Press<br>({{ja|ジャンププレス|Janpu Puresu}})|| {{Button|GCN|A|s=32px}}+{{Button|GCN|D-Pad|U|s=32px}} || Porky's walker jumps up high and tries to land on the player. On Intense difficulty, damage can reach 34% while falling and 53% on landing; if the player is just above the ground when he lands, both hits can connect and easily KO. || 3

|Crab Walk<br>({{ja|カニ歩き|Kani Aruki}})|| {{Button|GCN|D-Pad|L|s=32px}}/{{Button|GCN|D-Pad|R|s=32px}} || Porky's walker walks around. Contact does minor damage (up to 18%) and very weak knockback (only KOing from center stage over 700%). It isn't very well telegraphed (the walker speeds up a little and its eyes glow), but easily avoided by staying away or jumping over the mech. || 1

|Energy Ray<br>({{ja|エネルギー光線|Enerugī Kōsen}})|| {{Button|GCN|B|s=32px}} || Porky's walker creates a ball of energy, which shoots a laser towards the player. In the air, it is a multi-hit attack that rapidly (every 8 frames) deals damage (up to 17% on Intense). Sometimes on the ground, it is a powerful one-hit attack that does upwards of 58% on Intense, capable of KOing around 40%. Touching the ball of energy deals high damage as well (40% on Intense) but much less knockback than the powerful laser hit. If the player is on top of the walker as the laser is moving, they could potentially get hit multiple times by it before being KOd by the energy ball if they don't DI out in time. On higher difficulties, the laser moves faster, sometimes able to loop around and hit a second time. || 2

|Plasma Attack<br>({{ja|プラズマアタック|Purasuma Atakku}})|| {{Button|GCN|B|s=32px}}+{{Button|GCN|D-Pad|U|s=32px}} || Porky's walker hovers up, and tries to attack the player with a lightning bolt. On Intense the bolt deals 42%. At low HP, he does this two or three times. Standing on Porky will not dodge the attack, instead dealing 40% and weaker vertical knockback, but is still very dangerous since the player is very close to the upper blast line. || 3

|Porky Robo<br>({{ja|ポーキーロボ|Pōkī Robo}})|| {{Button|GCN|B|s=32px}}+{{Button|GCN|D-Pad|D|s=32px}} || Porky's walker sends out six Mecha-Porkies from ''Mother 3'' that try to self-destruct on the player. If they are attacked with a projectile, they [[trip]] and explode, inflicting up to 38%. The explosion doesn't have great KO power, being unable to KO until around 70% on Intense. In Boss Battles, the robots can still deal damage to the player even after Porky himself has been defeated. || 2

|Rush Attack<br>({{ja|突進攻撃|Tosshin Kōgeki}})|| Unusable || Porky's walker hops slightly before rapidly charging at the player and off-screen. This attack is very powerful, dealing up to 54% and high knockback. It can KO at very low percentages, especially if the player is close to the side blast lines. Jumping over the walker is advised over other methods of avoiding it. || 1

|desc-pal=In EarthBound, he was nothing more than 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...?

*Porky can damage the player after he has run out of HP, though he cannot KO the player in this state, as the blastzones cease to exist once Porky's HP is fully depleted.

**If the player defeats Porky while he is performing his jumping or running attack, he will complete the attack before beginning his defeat animation.

**Additionally, any Porky-bots on-screen while Porky is KO'd remain active and can still hit the player with their explosions.

*Porky is the only boss:

**whose ''Brawl'' trophy is different than his official artwork.

**to have a weakness to the [[darkness]] and [[aura]] attacks.

**to have different resistance values depending on the location and mode he is fought.

*Porky is the only boss in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to lack a spirit in ''Ultimate''; however, the Absolutely Safe Capsule which Porky seals himself inside at the end of ''Mother 3'' does appear as a spirit.

*Porky's bed-mech has been slightly redesigned, as it is much bigger and has a glass vial covering him, when it originally didn't in ''Mother 3''. Porky himself is also slightly smaller.
