Flying Man

Flying Men are characters in the Mother series. They live together in a small house that Ninten and Ness can visit in Magicant both in Mother and EarthBound, respectively. If a Flying Man is spoken to, he will join Ninten or Ness until he is knocked unconscious. Once a Flying Man has been defeated, he cannot be revived and will be buried at his home. There are five in all, but only one can join Ninten or Ness at a time.

In EarthBound, the Flying Men introduce themselves to Ness as his 'Courage'. This is keeping in line with the fundamental nature of Magicant, which is a manifestation of its visitor's unconscious mind. In addition to their appearances, they can deal and sustain a moderate-to-high damage from enemies.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U

Flying Men appear as hazards in the Magicant stage. Like they do in the original game, only 5 Flying Men appear in the stage, and if someone touches one, he will help them in the battle, similar to a Assist Trophy. They also appear in Smash Tour in a similar fashion.

There is also a downloadable costume for Mii Brawlers based on the Flying Man.
