Doll

The Doll is the second enemy type encountered in EarthBound Beginnings. It is the first boss encountered in the whole series (if the games are played in numeral order) otherwise, the first boss to be encountered in the game. When the game opens to Ninten's home under the influence of a poltergeist, this possessed doll attacks the boy, posing as his second enemy (the first one being the Lamp). After defeating it, Ninten inspects the doll and finds a music box inside it, which contains the first tune of the Eight Melodies.
This boss fight is unskippable. Ninten’s mom will block the door until the Doll is defeated.
== Trivia ==
* The Doll is one of the few enemies in Mother with an overworld sprite.
* The Doll appears to be heavily based off of the world-famous Kewpie doll.
* Ninten is guaranteed to level up after defeating the boss because of his low XP and because he cannot skip it.
* The first melody, on the other hand, can be skipped and obtained later. Mimmie will remind you to check it until you’ve listened to the recording.
* In the companion guide, he is called "Doll" in all versions of the game.
** Their description reads, "Runs amok in Mimmie's room (that's the lead character's sister). As with the Lampstand, this is the poltergeist activity's doing. He's also a key enemy who nets you the first melody.".
