Ring

Rings are equippable items in EarthBound Beginnings and Mother 3, mainly intended to increase the wearer's Defense, but have some additional effects in Mother 3. The Rings in Mother were originally called Bracelets in the Japanese Famicom version, this was however changed to Rings in the English prototype.

In EarthBound Beginnings

The Rings in Mother have their own equipment slot, being displayed second from the bottom in the equipment subscreen on the status screen. They are comparable with the Coins of the same game, as they both serve the same defense-increasing purpose and they both have their own equipment slots, although the rings generally raise the user's defense with a bit more in terms of value.
