Mr. Carpainter (カーペイターさん, Carpainter-san) is the evil cult leader of Happy Happy Village in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game EarthBound.[1] Having knowledge of psychic thunder attacks for reasons unknown, his weakness is the Franklin Badge which can deflect all forms of lightning.[2]
Summary
Starting out as a normal man, he has become possessed.[3] Carpainter is responsible for kidnapping Paula (from Twoson), who becomes Ness' girlfriend in the game.[1] Carpainter established the cult known as Happy Happyism after being impressed by the Evil Mani Mani statue.[2] This unorthodox religion believes that happiness comes from painting everything blue.[4] After being defeated, he abolishes his religion and returns to local obscurity.[1][4]
The evil Mani Mani Statue was confiscated from Mr. Carpainter and handed over to Master Belch by Pokey. Geldegarde Monotoli would also acquire the statue from Pokey who became his business consulant along with his father Aloysius. Eventually, the statue was permanently in Moonside, an alternate world made out of parts of Fourside, destroying it in the real world as well.
