Bottle Rocket

Bottle Rockets are recurring items found throughout the  series. Bottle Rocket are single use consumable battle items often only usable by specific party members. EarthBound has two stronger forms of Bottle Rockets: the Big bottle rocket and Multi bottle rocket.

In the Mother 3 fan translation the Bottle Rocket is referred to by its Japanese name: the Pencil Rocket.

In EarthBound Beginnings
Bottle Rockets are only usable by Lloyd. They damage all enemies for 18-22 points of damage. It is the item equivallant of PK Fire α.

In EarthBound
Bottle Rockets are only usable by Jeff. Their damaging properties were redone: They now deal 90~150 damage to a single enemy with a chance of missing. Chance to miss is ((Enemy speed x 2) - Jeff's speed). Two upgraded forms are available:


 * the Big bottle rocket deals 90~150 damage to a single enemy, for approximately up to 750 damage.
 * the Multi bottle rocket deals 90~150 damage to a single enemy, for approximately up to 4,000 danage.

For both upgrades, each rocket has a miss chance of ((Enemy speed x 2) - Jeff's speed) which affects the damage roll.

In Mother 3
The Bottle Rocket returns in Mother 3. The fan translation uses its Japanese name, the Pencil Rocket. It is now usable by anyone and deals moderate Bomb element damage to all enemies

In the series
Starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl Jeff appears as an and attacks using Bottle Rockets. The Bottle Rockets in particular are based off of the Big bottle rocket (Pencil Rocket ×5 in Japan), as he launches one large Bottle Rocket and four smaller ones. Occasionally, he will launch another set of Bottle Rockets as well. They are homing rockets that will follow any nearby player, and explode upon collision. The Bottle Rockets retain their design used in the instructions booklet for Mother 2.
