Ninten's house (also referred to as My Home; マイホーム My Home) is a location in EarthBound Beginnings, which lies in the northern portion of the town of Podunk, and is where the story first takes place. It is the home of Ninten, Mimmie, Minnie, Carol, and his dog, who lives in a doghouse outside.

Layout

The first floor of the house is a single living room with a door leading to the basement, which requires a key to open. The basement simply contains three presents containing items. The second floor is a hallway with three rooms, the room to the far right being the player Ninten's room, while the two room above lead to his sisters' rooms, being Mimmie's on the left and Minnie's on the right. All three rooms are nearly identical in layout, featuring a bed and dresser, though Ninten's room additionally has a chair and, prior to the poltergeist invasion, a lamp beside it.

In EarthBound Beginnings

In the beginning of the game, a poltergeist invades Ninten's home and brings several inanimate objects to life, making them hostile in the process. Ninten must fight one lamp, alternatively two if he chooses to aid Minnie, and one doll, which is present in Mimmie's room, before the poltergeist disappears. After the doll is defeated, it is revealed to contain a music box that plays the first melody. Ninten's father then calls Ninten and tells him that it is time for him to explore the potential of his powers by going on an adventure. He then tells him that there is something in the house's basement which may help him during his quest; he has however forgotten where the key to the basement is, but it is later found on the collar of Ninten's dog. Located in the basement is Ninten's great-grandfather's diary, which acts as an essential plot element later in the game. If Ninten returns home during his adventure, his mother Carol will cook his favorite food and send him to bed, restoring his HP and PP to the maximum for free, functioning similarly to a Hotel. It does not restore status ailments, however.

During the game's ending, Ninten returns to his home, and is greeted by his mother and sisters; his mother remarks on how unbelievable it is that he isn't hungry. He later falls asleep in his bed as the Earth's crisis is over, and the image of him sleeping is left throughout the cast roll until it reaches the end credits.
