Jeff Andonuts (ジェフ・アンドーナッツ, Jeff Andonuts) is a character originally appearing in EarthBound, as one of Ness' friends and a party member. He is the only playable character in EarthBound to lack PSI powers, so he uses guns and rockets instead. He appears as a Trophy in Melee and Brawl as well as an Assist Trophy in Brawl, SSB4, and Ultimate.
Origin
Jeff first appeared in EarthBound. In EarthBound, Jeff is an intelligent kid who is the same age as Ness and is attending a school in Winters, but escapes in the middle of the night when he heard Paula's telepathical call for help. He arrives in the Sky Runner to save Ness and Paula from the underground cell in Threed, and joins them on their adventure. His signature weapons are the bottle rockets, which only he is capable of using. There are three types of bottle rockets in EarthBound: bottle rockets, big bottle rockets, and the multi bottle rocket. Bottle rockets are one of the most effective items in EarthBound due to the large amount of damage they deliver to a single enemy. Starting with Brawl, Jeff appears as an Assist Trophy and uses the multi bottle rockets and one big bottle rocket. The side of the big bottle rocket in Smash reads "EAGLELAND" on its side, which is the name of Ness and Paula's home country in EarthBound. Jeff appears to be sweating whenever he appears as an Assist Trophy; this is likely based on him sweating nervously on the naming screen of EarthBound while awaiting the player's choice of name for him.
In Super Smash Bros.

Trophy
Trophy #112
- Jeff
- Another of Ness's 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 the Hungry HP-sucker and the Slime Generator. He's a bit on the shy side but incredibly intelligent and brave in the heat of battle.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
As an Assist Trophy
In Brawl, Jeff appears as an Assist 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.
Trophy
- Jeff
- Dr. Andonuts's son, who attends Snow Wood 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.

In Super Smash Bros. 4
As an Assist Trophy
Jeff reprises his Assist Trophy role in both versions of SSB4. In addition, on the Magicant stage, Jeff appears in his original 16-bit sprite form in two of the background scenes that can appear in a rip in the sky.
Trophy
- 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!
- 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!

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
As an Assist Trophy
Jeff returns as an Assist Trophy in Super 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.
Jeff also is available as a Spirit. He is obtainable in World of Light mode on the first map, in the town slightly north of Kirby's Landing Zone. In the fight you fight 3 blue Inklings who have increased shooting power. Jeff can also spawn in the battle. He has 13,200 power in the fight and is a shield spirit in the fight.
As a Spirit, Jeff is a 4-Star Legendary Support Spirit with 2 Cost, and the Jam FS Charge Ability, allowing him to slow down foe's Final Smash Meter when equipped. He is spirit No. 573.
Training Mode describes his Assist Trophy: Fires a volley of five bottle rockets. Can't be KO'd. He can't appear on Arena Ferox, Brinstar, Corneria, Duck Hunt, Magicant, Pac-Land, Spiral Mountain, Spirit Train, and Wrecking Crew

Trivia
- On x1.5 speed in Training mode, Jeff will always only shoot five missiles, four small and one big.
- Oddly, neither Jeff or his bottle rockets cast a shadow in Ultimate.
