Porky later appears in ''[[Mother 3]]'' as the main antagonist and leader of the Pigmask Army. He appears in a machine similar to the Heavily Armored Machine in ''EarthBound''. The attacks he does, however, are not specified (For example, "What did Porky do?") though they look like certain moves (such as Fassad's Bombs). In this game, he has ordered robots designed after him to be created, which are used in some of his attacks in ''Brawl''. | Porky later appears in ''[[Mother 3]]'' as the main antagonist and leader of the Pigmask Army.

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 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.

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 Minch attacks by moving around and by using a variety of lasers, as well as small Porky-bot enemies.

The start button will, like all other bosses, self-destruct him. Several of its attacks (86%) can [[OHKO]] at least on the higher [[Difficulty|difficulties]], some even in [[Boss Battles]]. | ||

|- | |- | ||
|Thrust Attack | |Thrust Attack ({{ja|突き攻撃|Tsuki Kōgeki}})|| A || Porky's walker does a flurry of stabs, inflicting extremely heavy damage if all blows land (over 160% on Intense [[difficulty]]). Even on Easy difficulty in [[Boss Battles]] the damage is very high (about 70%). The last hit alone has decent knockback, and on Very Hard (Intense in Boss Battles) most hits landing can lead to an [[OHKO]]. It is possible to [[DI]] out of it by approaching towards him and jumping above, although the attack can easily trap the player and inflict multiple hits. Some characters can [[crouch]] under this move. || 1 | ||
|- | |- | ||
|Jump Press | |Jump Press ({{ja|ジャンププレス|Janpu Puresu}})|| A^ || Porky's walker jumps up high and tries to land on the player. On Intense difficulty, damage can reach 48%; however, it is rarely used and predictable. || 3 | ||
|- | |- | ||
|Crab Walk | |Crab Walk ({{ja|カニ歩き|Kani Aruki}})|| < or > || Porky's walker walks around. Contact does minor damage (up to 22%) and decent knockback (KOing below 70% on Intense but quite over 100% on lower difficulties). Difficult to see coming (the walker speeds up a little and its eyes glow), but easily avoided by staying away or jumping over the mech. || 1 | ||
|- | |- | ||
|Energy Ray | |Energy Ray ({{ja|エネルギー光線|Enerugī Kōsen}})|| B || Porky's walker creates a ball of energy, which shoots an extremely swift laser towards the player. In the air, it is a multi-hit attack and on the ground it is a powerful one-hit attack that does upwards of 50%. On the higher difficulties, it's fast enough to circle around for a second hit; on Intense it can even deal a third hit, inflicting up to 150% with every hit KOing below 50%. On this difficulty, both variants of the laser can OHKO in most if not all situations, while touching the sparkling sphere is always a guaranteed KO (even in Boss Battles), being close to the upper [[blast line]]. On Very Hard and lower difficulties this move cannot OHKO (since the beam will circle around a maximum of two times) while the character has still [[super armor]], and each hit will KO above 50% and deal less damage; however, it's still a dreaded attack. Its speed, unpredictable startup, and power make it very dangerous, even more considering it is extremely difficult to avoid or [[shield]]. || 2 | ||
|- | |- | ||
|Plasma Attack | |Plasma Attack ({{ja|プラズマアタック|Purasuma Atakku}})|| B^ || Porky's walker hovers up, and tries to attack the player with a lightning bolt. At low HP, he does this two or three times (depending on whether or not he's on turbo). Standing on Porky will not dodge the attack, instead dealing weaker vertical knockback, but is still very dangerous since the player is very close to the upper blast line. || 3 | ||
|- | |- | ||
|Porky Robo | |Porky Robo ({{ja|ポーキーロボ|Pōkī Robo}})|| Bv || Porky's walker sends out six Mecha-Porkies from ''Mother 3'' that try to self-destruct on the player, bursting on contact much like a [[Bombed]] (although they cannot throw their head). If they are attacked with a projectile, they [[trip]] and explode, inflicting up to 30%. The burst has strong KO power on Very Hard and above, but won't KO until much later in Boss Battles. In Boss Battles, the robots can still deal damage to the player even after Porky himself has been defeated. || 2 | ||
|- | |- | ||
|Rush Attack | |Rush Attack ({{ja|突進攻撃|Tosshin Kōgeki}})|| Unusable || Porky's walker hops slightly before rapidly charging at the player and off-screen. Very swift and quite unpredictable, this attack is very powerful, dealing up to 58% and massive 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 but, if the player doesn't jump off in time, they will be carried past the side blast line. || 1 | ||
