Map

A Map is an item found in all three games in the  series.

EarthBound Beginnings
The Map only exists as an obtainable item in the Japanese Famicom version of EarthBound Beginnings. It can be found in a present in the basement of Ninten's house, where it is replaced by Bread in the English version and Mother 1+2 port. When used, it displays a scaled down, two-dimensional picture of the overworld and marks the current location of Ninten and his friends. It cannot be used inside of buildings and similarly isolated locations, nor can it be used while being in. In the English version and Game Boy Advance port, the map can more easily be accessed by simply pressing the Start button. Nonetheless, it still remains as an item in the game's coding in these versions, albeit unused. When the item is used in the Mother 1+2 version of the game, a short delay occurs before the map is shown.

EarthBound
The Town map in EarthBound works differently. Rather than being a map of the entire region, it instead shows a map of each individual town. The map shows the current town Ness's party is in. It can be used to find where shops and buildings are in town, as well as the party's current location, showing a small, scaled-down map when used. It can be accessed simply by pressing the X button. In the Mother 1+2 version of the game, the Start button instead serves this purpose.

Mother 3
Mother 3 does not have a single map as an item: instead each location has their own individual maps which can either be obtained from Mapson or special presents wrapped with a blue ribbon. Additionally, Mapson will mark the desired location on the map.
