Hint Shop

The Hint Shop (also referred to as the Hint Stand, in Japanese) is a shop in EarthBound, selling information to aid the player in the game. It is owned by the Eagleland Hint Union, which posts signs advertising it in various places. Upon finishing the game, the owner of the shop claims they are going out of business. Upon speaking to the shop owner, the Hint Shop's location for that town is marked on the map.
