Wally is an enemy in EarthBound Beginnings. He can be encountered at the beginning of the game in Podunk. He attacks physically and sometimes increases his OFFENSE. This enemy's battle theme is Battle with a Flippant Foe.
Defensively, Wally has 20 HP and 12 DEFENSE. Offensively, he has 8 OFFENSE, 6 FIGHT, and 2 SPEED. His resilience to Status Ailments is 1 WISDOM, 1 STRENGTH, and 4 FORCE. He drops 5 EXP and $20 when defeated.
Ninten starts off with at least 7 in every stat after fighting the Doll. It is recommended to equip the Plastic Bat due to Ninten's low level early on. Until the next level up, Wally will be ahead in overall resilience and offensive strength, making this among the most difficult enemies to encounter early on.
Trivia

- In the companion guide, he is called "Middle-Aged Man" in Mother, "Wally" in EarthBound Beginnings, and "Redneck" in Mother 1 + 2.
- His description reads, "Frequents the neighborhood of Mother's Day. He's probably a local farmer, but it seems like he's under something's control. The plow in his right hand is ominous. He doesn't appear to be a bad fellow, but he does get angry and boost his Offense a lot, so you'll want to be careful."
