The Sharks are an antagonistic group in Mother 2/EarthBound.
The Sharks are a group of criminals who go around causing trouble around Onett (Ness's hometown), they are led by a gangster called Frank Fly. They are one of the first enemies Ness encounters through out the story.

Biography[]
Some time before the main story, the Sharks had apparently smashed the old shack near Onnet, with it being the main and only entrance to see The Giant Step. The mayor hoarded the key so they couldn't enter in it anymore.
After a mysterious comet crashed near Onett, The Sharks took their chance to start causing trouble, making the police leave the area, which allowed Pockey and Picky to get closer to the crash zone, kickstarting the events of the game.
After meeting Buzz Buzz, and experiencing some of the abnormal phenomenon occurring around Onett, Ness made his way through the town, looking for the first "Your Sanctuary" location, Giant Step. The young boy got found and got attacked by some f the gang's members across town, while he was trying to look for clues, eventually, Ness find that the Sharks have taken over an arcade restaurant.
Entering the local, Ness fought off against some of the angry Sharks and made his way to the back of the building, meeting the gang's leader, Frank Fly. Frank boasted about how strong he was and attacked Ness head on, after some brawling he decides to drop his Frankenstein MK II on the psychic child, Ness however was still able to break it.
Lamenting no longer being fail-proof, Frank congratulated Ness on his victory and told him how he could get the key to the shack from the mayor, thus be able to reach Giant Step, he also told him to get more clues on his own.

Trivia[]
- Like many elements and characters from Earthbound, The Sharks, are an analogue to one of the concepts from the Original NES Mother 1 game. In this case being the Bla Bla Gang, down to looking almost exactly the same and even their leader, Frank, having the same weapons, the same haircut and the same shades as Bla Bla Gang's boss, Teddy (Although the former being considerably less relevant to both the Gameplay and Storyline than the latter).
