'''Mother''' (Japanese: '''MOTHER''', sometimes rendered in katakana as '''{{tt|マザー|Mazā}}'''), released in the United States and Europe as '''EarthBound Beginnings''' is an RPG released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] in 1989, developed by [[Ape Inc.]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It is somewhat well-known in Japan, spawning two sequels, though neither of them features the same protagonist as Mother.<br />
<br />
The game was translated into English by Nintendo of America in 1990 and slated for a 1991 release, but marketing delays prevented the translated game, rebranded as '''Earth Bound''', from ever seeing release. The fan group Demiforce, who had been working on a translation of the game at the time, discovered that a prototype cartridge had been sold to Kenny Brooks, a game collector, and made a deal with him to release a ROM of the game to the public in 1998. The ROM featured minor alterations to get around the copy protections Nintendo had placed on it, as well as the addition of "Zero" to the title screen to differentiate it from [[EarthBound|its sequel]], which had received an English release in 1995. Since then, four other prototypes have been found, one of which resides in Nintendo of America's headquarters. <ref>[http://www.earthboundcentral.com/2009/09/earthbound-zero-prototype-info/ EarthBound Central: "EarthBound Zero Prototype Info"]</ref> However, shortly before the Nintendo World Championships 2015 on June 14, 2015, Nintendo revealed an English release, entitled '''EarthBound Beginnings''', that came out the same day for Wii U Virtual Console.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{spoiler}}<br />
{{cleanup|Should follow in-game and Mother Encyclopedia content only}}<br />
In the early 1900's, a strange cloud appeared over [[Mt. Itoi]]. With the cloud's appearance, several people began disappearing and then reappearing, with no recollection of where they had been or what they'd been doing. [[George]], editor-in-chief of the Mother's Day Times set out to investigate this phenomenon with his wife, [[Maria]]. However, the day their results were to be published, they mysteriously vanished as well. In reality, they were abducted by a race of aliens capable of [[PSI|psionic powers]], abbreviated as PSI. These aliens tasked George and Maria with raising [[Giygas|Giegue]], an alien of great potential. While Maria raised Giegue like how a mother would raise her son, George illicitly studied the aliens' PSI and fled back to Earth. He then began to continue researching PSI in seclusion, while Maria was left with the aliens. Though George and Maria were not mistreated while in captivity of the aliens (because they took care of Giegue), the aliens sought revenge on George for stealing the secrets of PSI, and subsequently planned to launch an invasion of the planet Earth. When Giegue matured, he was tasked with invading Earth and stopping PSI from being used against the aliens, and Giegue obeyed reluctantly, conflicted with the fact that Earth was the home of his only family...<br />
<br />
The story then fast-forwards to 198X, in the rural American town of [[Podunk]]. Here, the tale focuses on a 12-year-old American boy named [[Ninten]]. His story begins when his home is attacked by a poltergeist, who possesses two [[Lamp|lamps]] and a [[Doll|doll]]. after exorcising the ghost, Ninten's father calls him, explaining that George, now revealed to be Ninten's great-grandfather, studied PSI. Ninten's father then tasks him with investigating a series of strange phenomena occurring across America, leaving Ninten to go out on his own.<br />
<br />
After rescuing and befriending a 7-year-old girl named [[Pippi]] from the local cemetery, Ninten is sent to investigate the escaping and sudden hostility of the animals in the [[Podunk Zoo|local zoo]]. There, he discovers the phenomena are the work of [[Starman|an invading alien race]]. Ninten is then warped to the world of [[Magicant#In Mother|Magicant]], where the land's ruler, Queen Mary, has recently started to experience horrible nightmares. When she meets Ninten, she asks him to find her song, the [[Eight Melodies]], and play them to her, as she has forgotten the song and desperately needs to remember it. After returning to the real world, Ninten visits an elementary school in in the prototype) and meets an 11-year-old boy named [[Lloyd]], who is constantly bullied for being a weakling. Ninten befriends Lloyd, and joins Ninten on his adventure to find the Eight Melodies. The two then travel to the town of [[Snowman]] to deliver a lost hat to a 12-year-old girl with PSI powers, referred to as [[Ana]], who tells Ninten that she saw him in a dream, and joins the party in hopes of finding her missing mother. The group then continues their investigations in the town of [[Youngtown]], where all but two of the adults were abducted by a U.F.O. Having learned this, they decide to continue onward and further investigate these coinciding phenomena.<br />
<br />
After finding five to six of the melodies (three of which Ninten found in Mother's Day, prior to his first visit to Magicant), Ninten, Ana, and Lloyd wind up in the city of [[Ellay]], where they learn that strange, black clouds have appeared over Mt. Itoi. However, during the trio's invesigations, they are harrassed by [[B.B. Gang|members]] of the [[Bla-Bla Gang]], a powerful street gang who attacks anyone that provokes them. After overcoming these thugs, the trio performs karioke at the Live House. However, their performance is interrupted by the Bla-Bla Gang's [[Teddy|leader]], who is angered by the fact that the trio was beating up his lackies. The leader then challenges Ninen (the trio's leader) to a duel, only to quickly realize how powerful of an opponent Ninten is. Swearing defeat, the leader introduces himself as Teddy, and explains that his parents were killed by wild animals on Mt. Itoi. Seeking vengance, he joins Ninten's party, replacing Lloyd, who rests up at the live house. Teddy then instructs the group to climb Mt. Itoi and avenge his parents.<br />
<br />
The trio then treks up the mountain, facing numerous formidable foes along their way. Eventually, they rest at a cabin, the only place where they can currently find safety. There, Ana drags Ninten into a secluded room, where the two dance and confess their love for each other. However, Teddy interrupts them, pointing out strange noises coming from outside. When they look out the window to investigate, they are immediately attacked by [[R7038]], an upgraded version of [[R7037|a similar robot]] encountered earlier on in the game. R7038 brutally devestates the trio, and escapes by tearing a hole through space. Lloyd then arrives in a tank borrowed from a man in the [[Yucca Desert]], having hoped to save the trio from the robot. Lloyd then transports the trio back to the cottage, where Teddy is critically damaged (possibly dead in the Famicom version) from the fight. Teddy realizes that one cannot win all battles simply using brute force, and stays in the cottage to heal. Lloyd then rejoins the party in Teddy's stead.<br />
<br />
Continuing their trek up Mt. Itoi, the trio is sucked into a whirlpool while trying to cross a lake in the center of the mountain path. The whirlpool brings the trio to George's abandoned underground laboratory, where they find a large robot named [[EVE]]. EVE explains that she was built with the purpose of protecting Ninten in his time of need, and joins the trio on their adventure. The glass windows in the lab then give way, flooding the lab and whisking the trio (now a quartet, with EVE supporting them) back to dry land. The quartet then continues their trek, learning that EVE is so powerful that she can kill enemies in a single blow. However, she is soon challenged by [[R7038XX]], an upgraded variation of R7038. R7038XX and EVE then duel on the mountain, R7038XX gaining the upper hand. However, as a last resort, EVE self-destructs, destroying R7038XX in the process. The remaining trio then finds a chip in EVE that plays the seventh of the Eight Melodies. They then continue up the mountain until they reach a cliff near the peak, where they find a cave barricaded by several immovable rocks. Along with the cave, they find George's gravesite, where his spirit contacts Ninten and relays to him the final melody. Ninten and co. then head back to Magicant, where they relay the full song back to Queen Mary. Not only does Mary remember the song, but she also remembers that her true identity is Maria, George's wife and Giegue's former caretaker from 80 years ago. She explains that she sang the Eight Melodies to Giegue as a lullaby, and that she and Giegue loved each other very much, akin to a mother and her son. Realizing her true identity, Maria ascends to heaven to join George, as Magicant slowly disappates, as it was only a figment of Maria's imagination...<br />
<br />
When Ninten, Ana, and Lloyd return to the real world, they find that the rocks blocking the cavern are gone, allowing them to enter. Inside, they find a room filled with alien pods containing numerous adults, many of whom were abducted from the town of Easter. One adult recognizes Ana from her hat, and explains that her mother is being held in a room in the back. However, it is also explained that it is impossible to free anyone without defeating Giegue first. With this in mind, the trio then continues through the cavern and reaches the summit. There, Giegue appears in his mothership and attacks the trio, explaining his backstory all the while, and expresses his gratitude for Ninten's family, as Maria raised Giegue when he was but a child. While he initially reprimands Ninten for obstructing his plans, Giegue offers to spare Ninten's life, should he board the mothership with him. However, Ninten refuses, and an angered Giegue then attacks the trio further, stating that they can "fall into a long sleep with the rest of the ugly Earth people". When the trio tries to fight back with force, they are unable to defeat him, no matter how much they attack. However, upon [[Check|checking]] the alien, Teddy's realization from before comes into place: Maria's spirit explains that Giegue cannot be defeated with brute force, and can only be defeated by the singing of the Eight Melodies. With this in mind, the trio repeatedly tries to sing the Eight Melodies, yet are attacked by Giegue, who hopes to silence him to escpae his old conflictions. However, after ten failed attempts, one member of the trio (determined by the player's actions during the battle) manages to sing the entire lullaby. Unable to bear the pain of the memories induced by the melodies, Giegue is defeated, and flies back to the cosmos, swearing that he will have his revenge. In the Famicom version, the game ends at this uncertain point, as the characters turn to the player while the credits scroll behind them, leaving the player to assume that all is well again. However, the English prototype and [[Mother 1+2|Game Boy Advance re-release]] add an extended, clarified ending, as shown below:<br />
<br />
After Giegue's defeat, the adults in the cavern are freed and brought back to their families in Easter, while Ana reunites with her mother and returns to Snowman. The group then parts ways, and each member continues with their own life. Lloyd is given a hero's welcome back in Merrysville, and is no longer bullied by his peers. Teddy, now fully recovered, changes his ways and becomes a live performer at the Live House in Ellay. In Snowman, Ana recieves a letter from Ninten, and eagerly hopes to meet him again. Back in Podunk, Ninten is greeted by his family, who infer that Ninten must be famished after his long journey. Now that the earth's crisis is finally over, Ninten decides to lay down and go to sleep. This extended ending finishes off with a cast of all the characters who appared ''in person'' in the game (minus Giegue, standard enemies, and bosses), a new credits sequence, and a post-credits scene: Ninten's father tries to call Ninten, apparently with urgent news, implying that a new problem has arose for investigation...<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Mother was named after the [[wikipedia:John Lennon|John Lennon]] [[wikipedia:Mother (John Lennon song)|song]] of the same name.<br />
*Unlike the original release of ''Mother'', the unreleased North American version contained detailed enemy descriptions, some redesigned areas, an ability to run, among other differences. A few of the changes were requested by Nintendo of America producer and script writer Phil Sandhop, who stated that there were plans to release the game with an 80 page instruction manual and a separate release of the game's soundtrack, but the production costs ended up having the game cancelled. Most of the alterations later saw official release in ''[[Mother 1+2]]''.<br />
*It took 26 years for ''Mother'' to get an English release, making it only the second game in the series to be released outside of Japan.<br />

The following should serve as the guideline for English nomenclature from the Mother series:<br />
<br />
*The first game in the series is to be referred to as "{{vg|Mother}}" for all purposes except for distinguishing among the original Japanese version ("Mother"), the American prototype's ROM ("Earth Bound" or "EarthBound Zero"), said ROM's Wii U Virtual Console release ("EarthBound Beginnings"), and the Japanese GBA re-release ("Mother 1+2").<br />
**English nomenclature is to follow that of the EarthBound Zero American protoype ROM (and its Wii U VC release), as translated by Phil Sandhop.<br />
*The second game in the series is to be referred to as "[[EarthBound]]" for all purposes except for distinguishing among the original Japanese version ("Mother 2"), the American release ("EarthBound"), and the Japanese re-release ("Mother 1+2").<br />
**Again, English nomenclature is to follow that of the commercially available EarthBound release.<br />
*The third game in the series (GBA) is to be referred to as "[[Mother 3]]" for all purposes.<br />
**English nomenclature is to follow that of the most up-to-date version of the [http://mother3.fobby.net/ Mother 3 fan translation] (at the time of this being written, version 1.2).<br />
*The planned third game in the series (N64) is to be referred to as "[[EarthBound 64]]" for all purposes except for distinguishing from the planned Japanese title ("Mother 3").</div>Miles of SmashWikihttps://wikibound.info/w/index.php?title=Mr._Bat&diff=25960Mr. Bat2015-06-17T19:42:03Z<p>Miles of SmashWiki: </p>

'''Mr. Batty''' is an enemy in ''[[Mother 3]]'', first encountered in [[Chapter 1]]. It is often the first enemy in the game after the required [[Mole Cricket]] battle, and therefore often the first enemy fought as [[Flint]]. After the end of [[Chapter 3]], they can only be encountered in the cave near [[Aeolia]]'s house on [[Mt. Oriander]], with its appearance in the [[Sunshine Forest]] being replaced by a [[Slitherhen]]. Similarly to their appearance in EarthBound, they often size up the situation, making them feel strange.<br />

'''Mother''' (Japanese: '''MOTHER''', sometimes rendered in katakana as '''{{tt|マザー|Mazā}}'''), released in the United States and Europe as '''EarthBound Beginnings''' is an RPG released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] in 1989, developed by [[Ape Inc.]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It is somewhat well-known in Japan, spawning two sequels, though neither of them features the same protagonist as Mother.<br />
<br />
The game was translated into English by Nintendo of America in 1990 and slated for a 1991 release, but marketing delays prevented the translated game, rebranded as '''Earth Bound''', from ever seeing release. The fan group Demiforce, who had been working on a translation of the game at the time, discovered that a prototype cartridge had been sold to Kenny Brooks, a game collector, and made a deal with him to release a ROM of the game to the public in 1998. The ROM featured minor alterations to get around the copy protections Nintendo had placed on it, as well as the addition of "Zero" to the title screen to differentiate it from [[EarthBound|its sequel]], which had received an English release in 1995. Since then, four other prototypes have been found, one of which resides in Nintendo of America's headquarters. <ref>[http://www.earthboundcentral.com/2009/09/earthbound-zero-prototype-info/ EarthBound Central: "EarthBound Zero Prototype Info"]</ref> However, shortly before the Nintendo World Championships 2015 on June 14, 2015, Nintendo revealed an English release, entitled '''EarthBound Beginnings''', that came out the same day for Wii U Virtual Console.<br />

==Plot==<br />
{{spoiler}}<br />
{{construction}}<br />
'''Note: This summary is based off of the English prototype's plot, as depicted in [[Clyde Mandelin]]'s fan translation of [[Mother 1+2|the GBA re-release]], which is meant to better follow the Famicom version in terms of graphics and text, hence the usage of the Famicom version's names. Also note that the game is mostly non-linear, and that the plot follows the intended sequence of events.'''<br />
<br />
In the early 1900's, a strange cloud appeared over [[Mt. Itoi|Holy Loly Mountain]]. With the cloud's appearance, several people began disappearing and then reappearing, with no recollection of where they had been or what they'd been doing. [[George]], editor-in-chief of the Mother's Day Times set out to investigate this phenomenon with his wife, [[Maria]]. However, the day their results were to be published, they mysteriously vanished as well. In reality, they were abducted by a race of aliens capable of [[PSI|psionic powers]], abbreviated as PSI. These aliens tasked George and Maria with raising [[Giygas|Gyiyg]], an alien of great potential. While Maria raised Gyiyg like how a mother would raise her son, George illicitly studied the aliens' PSI and fled back to Earth. He then began to continue researching PSI in seclusion, while Maria was left with the aliens. Though George and Maria were not mistreated while in captivity of the aliens (because they took care of Gyiyg), the aliens sought revenge on George for stealing the secrets of PSI, and subsequently planned to launch an invasion of the planet Earth. When Gyiyg matured, he was tasked with invading Earth and stopping PSI from being used against the aliens, and Gyiyg obeyed reluctantly, conflicted with the fact that Earth was the home of his only family...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The story then fast-forwards to 1988 (198X in the English prototype, for the sake of ambiguity), in the rural American town of [[Podunk|Mother's Day]]. Here, the tale focuses on a 12-year-old American boy named [[Ninten]]. His story begins when his home is attacked by a poltergeist, who possesses two [[Lamp|lamps]] and a [[Doll|doll]]. after exorcising the ghost, Ninten's father calls him, explaining that George, now revealed to be Ninten's great-grandfather, studied PSI. Ninten's father then tasks him with investigating a series of strange phenomena occurring across America, leaving Ninten to go out on his own.<br />
<br />
After rescuing and befriending a 7-year-old girl named [[Pippi]] from the local cemetery, Ninten is sent to investigate the escaping and sudden hostility of the animals in the [[Podunk Zoo|local zoo]]. There, he discovers the phenomena are the work of [[Starman|an invading alien race]]. Ninten is then warped to the world of [[Magicant#In Mother|Magicant]], where the land's ruler, Queen Mary, has recently started to experience horrible nightmares. When she meets Ninten, she asks him to find her song, the [[Eight Melodies]], and play them to her, as she has forgotten the song and desperately needs to remember it. After returning to the real world, Ninten visits an elementary school in Thanksgiving (Merrysville in the prototype) and meets an 11-year-old boy named [[Lloyd]] (Loid in the prototype), who is constantly bullied for being a weakling. Ninten befriends Lloyd, and joins Ninten on his adventure to find the Eight Melodies. The two then travel to the town of [[Snowman]] to deliver a lost hat to a 12-year-old girl with PSI powers, referred to as [[Ana]], who tells Ninten that she saw him in a dream, and joins the party in hopes of finding her missing mother. The group then continues their investigations in the town of [[Youngtown|Easter]], where all but two of the adults were abducted by a U.F.O. Having learned this, they decide to continue onward and further investigate these coinciding phenomena.<br />
<br />
After finding five to six of the melodies (three of which Ninten found in Mother's Day, prior to his first visit to Magicant), Ninten, Ana, and Lloyd wind up in the city of [[Ellay|Valentine]], where they learn that strange, black clouds have appeared over Holy Loly Mountain. However, during the trio's invesigations, they are harrassed by [[B.B. Gang|members]] of the [[Bla-Bla Gang|Black Blood Gang]], a powerful street gang who attacks anyone that provokes them. After overcoming these thugs, the trio performs karioke at the Live House. However, their performance is interrupted by the Black Blood Gang's [[Teddy|leader]], who is angered by the fact that the trio was beating up his lackies. The leader then challenges Ninen (the trio's leader) to a duel, only to quickly realize how powerful of an opponent Ninten is. Swearing defeat, the leader introduces himself as Teddy, and explains that his parents were killed by wild animals on Holy Loly Mountain. Seeking vengance, he joins Ninten's party, replacing Lloyd, who rests up at the live house. Teddy then instructs the group to climb Holy Loly mountain and avenge his parents.<br />
<br />
The trio then treks up the mountain, facing numerous formidable foes along their way. Eventually, they rest at a cabin, the only place where they can currently find safety. There, Ana drags Ninten into a secluded room, where the two dance and confess their love for each other. However, Teddy interrupts them, pointing out strange noises coming from outside. When they look out the window to investigate, they are immediately attacked by [[R7038]], an upgraded version of [[R7037|a similar robot]] encountered earlier on in the game. R7038 brutally devestates the trio, and escapes by tearing a hole through space. Lloyd then arrives in a tank borrowed from a man in the [[Yucca Desert|Advent Desert]], having hoped to save the trio from the robot. Lloyd then transports the trio back to the cottage, where Teddy is critically damaged (possibly dead in the Famicom version) from the fight. Teddy realizes that one cannot win all battles simply using brute force, and stays in the cottage to heal. Lloyd then rejoins the party in Teddy's stead.<br />
<br />
Continuing their trek up Holy Loly Mountain, the trio is sucked into a whirlpool while trying to cross a lake in the center of the mountain path. The whirlpool brings the trio to George's abandoned underground laboratory, where they find a large robot named [[EVE]]. EVE explains that she was built with the purpose of protecting Ninten in his time of need, and joins the trio on their adventure. The glass windows in the lab then give way, flooding the lab and whisking the trio (now a quartet, with EVE supporting them) back to dry land. The quartet then continues their trek, learning that EVE is so powerful that she can kill enemies in a single blow. However, she is soon challenged by [[R7038XX]], an upgraded variation of R7038. R7038XX and EVE then duel on the mountain, R7038XX gaining the upper hand. However, as a last resort, EVE self-destructs, destroying R7038XX in the process. The remaining trio then finds a chip in EVE that plays the seventh of the Eight Melodies. They then continue up the mountain until they reach a cliff near the peak, where they find a cave barricaded by several immovable rocks. Along with the cave, they find George's gravesite, where his spirit contacts Ninten and relays to him the final melody. Ninten and co. then head back to Magicant, where they relay the full song back to Queen Mary. Not only does Mary remember the song, but she also remembers that her true identity is Maria, George's wife and Gyiyg's former caretaker from 80 years ago. She explains that she sang the Eight Melodies to Gyiyg as a lullaby, and that she and Gyiyg loved each other very much, akin to a mother and her son. Realizing her true identity, Maria ascends to heaven to join George, as Magicant slowly disappates, as it was only a figment of Maria's imagination...<br />
<br />
When Ninten, Ana, and Lloyd return to the real world, they find that the rocks blocking the cavern are gone, allowing them to enter. Inside, they find a room filled with alien pods containing numerous adults, many of whom were abducted from the town of Easter. One adult recognizes Ana from her hat, and explains that her mother is being held in a room in the back. However, it is also explained that it is impossible to free anyone without defeating Gyiyg first. With this in mind, the trio then continues through the cavern and reaches the summit. There, Gyiyg appears in his mothership and attacks the trio, explaining his backstory all the while, and expresses his gratitude for Ninten's family, as Maria raised Gyiyg when he was but a child. While he initially reprimands Ninten for obstructing his plans, Gyiyg offers to spare Ninten's life, should he board the mothership with him. However, Ninten refuses, and an angered Gyiyg then attacks the trio further, stating that they can "fall into a long sleep with the rest of the ugly Earth people". When the trio tries to fight back with force, they are unable to defeat him, no matter how much they attack. However, upon [[Check|checking]] the alien, Teddy's realization from before comes into place: Maria's spirit explains that Gyiyg cannot be defeated with brute force, and can only be defeated by the singing of the Eight Melodies. With this in mind, the trio repeatedly tries to sing the Eight Melodies, yet are attacked by Gyiyg, who hopes to silence him to escpae his old conflictions. However, after ten failed attempts, one member of the trio (determined by the player's actions during the battle) manages to sing the entire lullaby. Unable to bear the pain of the memories induced by the melodies, Gyiyg is defeated, and flies back to the cosmos, swearing that he will have his revenge. In the Famicom version, the game ends at this uncertain point, as the characters turn to the player while the credits scroll behind them, leaving the player to assume that all is well again. However, the English prototype and [[Mother 1+2|Game Boy Advance re-release]] add an extended, clarified ending, as shown below:<br />
<br />
After Gyiyg's defeat, the adults in the cavern are freed and brought back to their families in Easter, while Ana reunites with her mother and returns to Snowman. The group then parts ways, and each member continues with their own life. Lloyd is given a hero's welcome back in Thanksgiving, and is no longer bullied by his peers. Teddy, now fully recovered, changes his ways and becomes a live performer at the Live House in Valentine. In Snowman, Ana recieves a letter from Ninten, and eagerly hopes to meet him again. Back in Mother's Day, Ninten is greeted by his family, who infer that Ninten must be famished after his long journey. Now that the earth's crisis is finally over, Ninten decides to lay down and go to sleep. This extended ending finishes off with a cast of all the characters who appared ''in person'' in the game (minus Gyiyg, standard enemies, and bosses), a new credits sequence, and a post-credits scene: Ninten's father tries to call Ninten, apparently with urgent news, implying that a new problem has arose for investigation...<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Mother was named after the [[wikipedia:John Lennon|John Lennon]] [[wikipedia:Mother (John Lennon song)|song]] of the same name.<br />
*Unlike the original release of ''Mother'', the unreleased North American version contained detailed enemy descriptions, some redesigned areas, an ability to run, among other differences. A few of the changes were requested by Nintendo of America producer and script writer Phil Sandhop, who stated that there were plans to release the game with an 80 page instruction manual and a separate release of the game's soundtrack, but the production costs ended up having the game cancelled. Most of the alterations later saw official release in ''[[Mother 1+2]]''.<br />
*It took 26 years for ''Mother'' to get an English release, making it only the second game in the series to be released outside of Japan.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Mother was named after the [[wikipedia:John Lennon|John Lennon]] [[wikipedia:Mother (John Lennon song)|song]] of the same name.<br />
*Unlike the original release of ''Mother'', the unreleased North American version contained detailed enemy descriptions, some redesigned areas, an ability to run, among other differences. A few of the changes were requested by Nintendo of America producer and script writer Phil Sandhop, who stated that there were plans to release the game with an 80 page instruction manual and a separate release of the game's soundtrack, but the production costs ended up having the game cancelled. Most of the alterations later saw official release in ''[[Mother 1+2]]''.<br />
*It took 26 years for ''Mother'' to get an English release, making it only the second game in the series to be released outside of Japan.<br />

'''Aloysius Minch''' is the spouse of [[Lardna Minch]] and the father of both [[Pokey Minch]] and [[Picky Minch]]. In [[EarthBound]], he holds a grudge against [[Ness]] and his family, since [[Ness's father]] borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars from him, but Mr. Minch openly admits it could have been a lot less. After the game is over, Aloysius can be found in a bar in [[Fourside]].<br />

The '''Twinkle Elementary School''' is a school in [[Merrysville]] in {{vg|Mother}}. [[Lloyd]] goes to school there, and is often teased by the other kids. Ninten can go to the nurse's office to have his party's [[HP]] recovered, but she can't heal status problems. Many of the students have [[cold]]s, so talking to them will make [[Ninten]]'s party sick. When Ninten first arrives there, he will find that the door to the rooftop is locked. Ninten then goes to the janitor's room, and asks for the key. The janitor complains to Ninten about his wife, and says he is a good kid, asking Ninten to follow him to the rooftop. On the rooftop, Lloyd can be found in a trash can. After bringing him a [[Bottle Rocket]] from the [[Sweet's Little Factory]], he will blow up one of the classrooms and join [[Ninten]]'s party. After he does this, the [[Mysterious Teacher]] will sell goods that Lloyd can use in the room he blew up.<br />
<br />
The music used for Twinkle Elementary School is remixed for the file select menu in [[EarthBound]]. It is also remixed as the credits theme for the [[wikipedia:Game Boy Camera|Game Boy Camera]], the music for which was composed by [[Hirokazu Tanaka]].<br />

'''B.H. Pirkle''' is a character in [[EarthBound]]. He is the mayor of [[Onett]], and is shown to be a lazy person, usually preferring for other people to do his work. [[Ness]] first meets him when he is trying to find a way to enter to [[Giant Step]]. He asks Ness to get rid of the [[Sharks]] in exchange for the [[List of key items in EarthBound|Key to the shack]]. He gives out the key once the player has defeated [[Frank]]. At the end of the game, he is shown to have been re-elected because he had taken credit for Ness disbanding the Sharks.<br />
<br />
B.H. Pirkle's similarities to other mayoral figures in the series, namely [[A. Goodman]] of [[Podunk]] and [[Pusher]] of [[Tazmily Village]], seem intentional.<br />
<br />
Pirkle's name in Japanese (G.H., pronounced "geha") is an anagram for "hage", meaning "bald".<ref>[http://legendsoflocalization.com/earthbound/onett/ EarthBound / MOTHER 2: Onett | Legends of Localization]</ref> One of EarthBound's localizers, Marcus Lindblom, confirmed that the B.H. initials in English stand for "bald head", to carry through the joke from the Japanese subtly.<ref>[http://kotaku.com/the-man-who-wrote-earthbound-1188669175 Kotaku: "The Man Who Wrote Earthbound"]</ref><br />

'''Onett''' is a town in [[EarthBound]]. It is home to a number of key characters in the game, among them being [[Ness]] and [[Pokey Minch]]. Onett is where the game's protagonist, Ness, begins his adventure. The town was once harassed by a gang called [[The Sharks]], led by [[Frank]]. Later when [[Ness]] must get a piece of a meteorite, the town becomes very dark. New enemies also appear at this time. Onett has a population of 3,500 people and [[King|two]] [[Ruffini|dogs]], an average temperature of 72°F, and an annual rainfall of 10 inches. <ref>[[:File:EBPlayersGuideP17.jpg|EarthBound Player's Guide, p. 17]]</ref><br />

Onett is dotted with trees, grass, and hills. To the north is a large mountainous area home to Pokey Minch, Ness, and the meteorite. To the south is thick forest and a dirt road connecting Onett to Twoson. The east is covered in a thick forest until it borders the northern hills. To the west is the ocean which can be seen from [[Beak Point]], where Ness can buy a very expensive and run-down house.<br />

'''Porky''' (spelled as '''Pokey''' in [[EarthBound]]) is [[Ness]]'s neighbor, making his debut in EarthBound, and later appearing in [[Mother 3]].<br />
<br />
==In [[EarthBound]]==<br />
[[File:Pokey sprite.gif|Pokey's sprite from EarthBound.]]<br />
In EarthBound, Pokey first consults Ness when he is requesting his help to find his little brother [[Picky]]. Ness brings his dog with him to help. Every time Ness must fight something, Pokey will apologize or do something else, such as using Ness as a shield, showing his cowardly personality. Pokey, along with his brother, are then punished when they go back home. The next appearance of Pokey was in [[Happy Happy Village]]. He tells Ness that [[Mr. Carpainter]] made him a very important character in Happy-happyism. He doesn't fight Ness though, instead leaving his minions to do that. When Carpainter is defeated, Pokey at first pretends to be sorry, but then shows that he is fibbing. Pokey doesn't appear again until [[Fourside]], where he and his dad have seemed to achieve power. After [[Paula]] is rescued, Pokey flees again, and is not seen until the final boss battle, where he is now in a spider mecha. After he is defeated, he abandons [[Giygas]] and flees through time, setting up his role in Mother 3. When Pokey is in the party, his battle commands are selected randomly from a large list of commands.<br />

==In [[Mother 3]]==<br />
Pokey later reappears as the main antagonist in [[Mother 3]] and was chosen to stay as "Porky" in the [[Mother 3 fan translation|fan translation]], due to a large amount of pig-related puns involving him.<br />
<br />
Although not present or mentioned directly for most of the game, Porky's influence is seen through the [[Pigmask Army]] that emerges early on in the story. When the game [[Chapter 4|skips forward]] several years into the future, it is revealed that the Nowhere Islands are controlled by "King P", although the actual Pigmask forces are commanded by the [[Fierce Pork Trooper]], [[Fassad]], and the [[Masked Man]]. Porky's presence is hinted at in [[Chapter 5]], when the party goes through his playroom in [[Thunder Tower]]. While only referenced as "the King's playroom", it is shown that the most prized possession there is the "[[Yo-yo#In Mother 3|Friend's Yo-yo]]", a reference to [[Ness]]'s use of yo-yos in the [[EarthBound|previous game]]. The fact that Ness is referred to as a "friend" here and that the yo-yo is the most prized possession implies that Porky expressed some positive feelings of his former enemy. Porky is finally confirmed to be the identity of "King P" at the end of [[Chapter 7]], when he invites the party to his home in [[New Pork City]].<br />
<br />
When Lucas meets [[Leder]], he learns that Porky didn't end up on the [[Nowhere Islands]] from the [[White Ship]] like the others. Instead, he came from a [[Phase Distorter|Time Distorter]], and made people from other times, such as [[Dr. Andonuts]], come to this time period. He also began putting animals together to create [[chimera]]s and became dictator of the land. He eventually learned of the secret of the Nowhere Islands' past from [[Locria]], the seventh [[Magypsy]]. Porky then tries to have the [[Seven Needles]] pulled by the [[Masked Man]] to control the [[Dark Dragon]]. Lucas tries pulling the needles as well to stop him.<br />
<br />
Lucas and his friends confront Porky in the [[Empire Porky Building]]. Here, they scale numerous floors to reach him, and throughout he is shown taunting them through an intercom system. When they reach the final floor, he appears to them as a young man in a suit. He tells the party that he wants to be friends with them, and asks them to sympathize with him. However, when he approaches them, he explodes, revealing the "young Porky" to actually be one of many [[Mecha-Porky|Mecha-Porkies]]. When these are defeated, the real Porky appears as an ancient man, only able to move through a mechanical spider mech. He escapes down below to the final Needle.<br />
<br />
When the party chases him down, his state of madness becomes apparent. He claims to be immortal, stating that he has lost track of his age due to time travel but "is still a kid inside". He expresses a desire to destroy the world with the power of the final needle, simply for the purpose of self-enjoyment. When his spider mech is destroyed by Lucas and his friends, he reveals an [[Absolutely Safe Capsule]] built by Dr. Andonuts, which he claims is impenetrable. When he enters it, however, he finds himself unable to escape, as the capsule was built to be impenetrable from both sides when sealed. Porky does not appear to realize the nature of his fate, only sticking his tongue out at the protagonists. Even after Lucas pulls the final Needle, [[the player]] can find a large rolling object in the ending that is implied to be the Absolutely Safe Capsule with Porky still inside.<br />
<br />
Unused sprites found by hackers show that Porky may have originally been planned to die in the end of [[Mother 3]], though in the end it was modified so that Porky would live on forever in the Absolutely Safe Capsule. [[Shigesato Itoi]] has stated that Porky will still be alive in 5.5 billion years when the Earth will be destroyed by the Sun going nova; Itoi says that "the grief of that is incredibly depressing to me. It's amazing... Porky is truly a poem in himself."<ref>[http://mother3.fobby.net/interview/m3int_09.html Nindori.com interview with Shigesato Itoi], translated</ref><br />

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Porky is a boss in the game's adventure mode, [[Subspace Emissary]]. Here, he appears after the [[King Statue]] fight, and will fight [[Lucas]] and [[Ness]]. He appears as he does in [[Mother 3]], inside his spider-like mecha. He can use various missiles and bombs. He eventually is defeated. Porky then makes an appearances with the other bosses in [[smashwiki:The Great Maze|The Great Maze]]. Also like the other bosses, he has his own trophy and appears in boss mode.<br />

== Help pages ==<br />
<br />
Just wondering which pages you were going to adapt from SmashWiki. I was going to update and organize the help contents template, so they link the proper articles that you're putting up.<br />
<br />
By the way, thanks for all of the stub organization/template work you've done lately! It helps a lot. :D {{User:Tina/sig}} 14:19, 29 December 2010 (MST)<br />
:Hey, no problem. Pretty much everything in the "Help pages" row of [[smashwiki:Template:Helpnav|this template]] is what I've worked with, and I think most of it is pretty generic and could be very easily tweaked for WikiBound (like the [[Help:Images|three of them]] [[Help:Archiving|that I]] [[Help:Talk Pages|already did]]). I'd say you can direct where I go from here.<br />
:Next up on my tweaking list: the disambig template. (You'll see in a sec.)

==Question about Clayman==<br />
The spoiler tag overlaps with the enemy table, I tried to fix it but it looked kinda ugly when I previewed, can you give it a try?<br><br />
[[User:Multus|Multus]] 14:47, 11 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
:I'm not seeing an overlap. Again, I'd hazard a guess it's a browser-based issue. Do you have a screenshot of what you're seeing?

== Music/Combo sounds ==<br />
<br />
Would it be OK to do what you did with music--Great job on that by the way :) -- for the combo sound effects?(For the main characters, or at least for the fake frying pan/bat. I know 'I' didn't have the money to buy them both on my first playthrough, and it haunted me...) [[User:Multus|Multus]] 21:33, 7 October 2011 (EDT)<br />

::There's a few things I could do, but I'm thinking a little optional slot on the character infobox. (Maybe a show/hide thing. Not sure.) and putting Fake bat/pan sound off to the side next to the trivia referencing the changed combo sound. [[User:Multus|Multus]] 21:59, 7 October 2011 (EDT)<br />

::::::Yeah, might have to do just a short 1-hit sample, because looking into the games coding went to no avail, and it isn't easy to combo without sound, haha. (It was so easy to break into Mother1+2's sound, though... what a bummer.) The problem is the combo sounds aren't single sound effects, they're separate bits pieced together. :/ [[User:Multus|Multus]] 14:21, 8 October 2011 (EDT)<br />
:::::::It is possible to start a battle in M3 with no battle song; however, doing so makes it seemingly impossible to combo, unfortunately.

== Enemy PSI Strength ==<br />
<br />
On my attack table for [[Einswine]], you stated that the damage range for its offensive PSI is the same as it is for the player characters. However (in my experience, at least), Mother 3 enemies (unlike EarthBound enemies) do considerably less damage than player characters when using offensive PSI. That means that the damage range you used is inaccurate. Have you noticed this when you play the game; do you agree with this? If so, how can we accurately represent the offensive PSI damage range of Mother 3 enemies? Also, I'm really grateful that you've been fixing these fails I've been having with the attack tables (me being a newbie and all), and I'll try not to fail so much in the future! Thanks! [[User:AquaAzure|AquaAzure]] 22:25, 7 January 2012 (EST)<br />
:It's a tough call. Part of the goal was to standardize the M3 tables with the EB ones, but I agree that the damage is not consistent. Part of the reason I'd held off on M1 and M3 attack templates was that to my knowledge there's no resource which exhaustively lists all of the enemies' possible actions (where EB has [http://starmen.net/mother2/ebdb/enemies.php this]).

::Hmm. Yeah, I'm gonna hold off on making attack tables for PSI-capable enemies for that reason until someone can find a solution. For normal enemies, I can find the rarely-used attack patterns by defending through enough turns, but it takes a long time...Are there any more-important projects that I should be looking into instead? Thanks! [[User:AquaAzure|AquaAzure]] 23:55, 7 January 2012 (EST)<br />
:::You can always help with expanding non-enemy stubs. We have... a lot of them.

@Azure Haha... Yes, we do have a lot of stubs... It's a lot different and poses some challenges having an editing team as small as this wiki's. There's a lot of things that can be done to help, though. A small fraction of things to do can be found [[User:Multus/Lists|here]], but that's just a slice of the pie, so to speak. (Or cake, if you're a cake person, I suppose.) We would do a project system probably if our editing team was a bit larger, I'd think. <br />
<br />
@Miles: Hum... I did some searching around for a listing for the Mother 3 enemy attacks, and turned up nothing. I might have to go browse Google Japan for a Japanese listing maybe, but a solution for this should hopefully be found soon. :/ Most of the enemy pages are only stubs because of the attack tables.

<div>[[File:All That I Needed (Was You).ogg|right|thumb|All That I Needed (Was You) as heard in [[Mother 1+2]].]]<br />
'''All That I Needed (Was You)''' is a song in [[Mother]]. It plays when [[Ninten]]'s party performs at the [[Live House]] in [[Ellay]].<br />
<br />
==Lyrics==<br />
The tune was given words on the [[Mother (soundtrack)|vocal soundtrack for Mother]], and is the eighth track of the album.<br />
<i><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
I used to think I was so smart<br><br />
But I couldn't hide the hole in my heart<br><br />
Sad as it seems none of my dreams<br><br />
Ever came true<br><br />
<br><br />
I used to walk the avenue<br><br />
All by myself with nothin' to do<br><br />
Kickin' at cans, half of a man<br><br />
Till I met you, and I knew<br><br />
<br><br />
I've looked for you all of my life<br><br />
Round every corner<br><br />
Wishin' on stars<br><br />
Like some kind of fool, oh oh<br><br />
<br><br />
But now I see the stars in your eyes<br><br />
Those days are over<br><br />
I took one look and I was hooked<br><br />
I found heaven in you<br><br />
<br><br />
And though my dream was overdue<br><br />
My prayer was answered out of the blue<br><br />
And now I know. I know it's true<br><br />
All that I needed was you<br><br />
<br><br />
(Chorus)<br><br />
You were all that I wanted<br><br />
You were all that I needed<br><br />
<br><br />
I was lost, anyone could tell<br><br />
Just tossing dimes in wishing wells<br><br />
Out of money and down on luck<br><br />
Was I surprised when lightnin' struck<br><br />
And suddenly, you were sent to me<br><br />
<br><br />
My destiny. It was meant to be<br><br />
I didn't know before<br><br />
What I was living for<br><br />
But now I know for sure<br><br />
I have been waiting for you<br><br />
<br><br />
I never knew what I had missed<br><br />
Until the moment that we kissed<br><br />
Angel divine, now you are mine<br><br />
I feel brand new<br><br />
<br><br />
And now at last my life's complete<br><br />
Baby, your love's the missing piece<br><br />
Here in my arms, here in my heart<br><br />
All that I needed was you<br><br />
<br><br />
I've looked for you all of my life<br><br />
Round every corner<br><br />
Wishin' on stars<br><br />
Like some kind of fool, oh oh<br><br />
But now I see the stars in your eyes<br><br />
Those days are over<br><br />
I took one look and I was hooked<br><br />
I found heaven in you<br><br />
<br><br />
And though my dream was overdue<br><br />
My prayer was answered out of the blue<br><br />
And now I know. I know it's true<br><br />
All that I needed was you <br></i><br />

<hr />
<div>'''Check''' (Japanese:'''{{tt|チェック|Chekku}}''' ''Check'') is a command in the [[Mother (series)|Mother series]].<br />
==Outside of battle==<br />
The Check command is used to look at objects that can't be spoken to. In {{vg|Mother}}, it is accessed by pressing the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|A button]] to open the menu and selecting it. In the [[Mother 1+2]] port and [[EarthBound]], the L button acts as a shortcut to both talk and check. In [[Mother 3]], it is no longer an option on the menu; instead, the L and A buttons both check objects and talk to people. When an object can be both checked and spoken to in the Mother 1+2 version of {{vg|Mother}}, such as the [[Dragon]], the game will default to the talk command.<br />
<br />
==In battle==<br />
[[File:CheckAnimated.gif|frame|right|[[Ninten]] uses the check command on a [[Bag Lady]].]]<br />
The Check command is also a battle command in {{vg|Mother}}. Using the check command in battle will reveal the enemy's [[Offense]] and [[Defense]] stats, their weaknesses and resistances, and, in the prototype and [[Mother 1+2]], a description of them. In [[EarthBound]], this usage was replaced with [[Jeff#Spying|Spy]], which in the Japanese version, is also named Check; however, this skill can only be used by [[Jeff]]. In [[Mother 3]], it was replaced with [[Boney]]'s [[Boney#Special abilities|Sniff]].<br />
<br />
A battle screen from the unreleased [[EarthBound 64]] indicates that Check was going to regain its in-battle usage from Mother, rather than being replaced by Boney's signature ability as in the final version; additionally, it shows [[Flint]] using it, indicating that any character could use it.<br />

== Help pages ==<br />
<br />
Just wondering which pages you were going to adapt from SmashWiki. I was going to update and organize the help contents template, so they link the proper articles that you're putting up.<br />
<br />
By the way, thanks for all of the stub organization/template work you've done lately! It helps a lot. :D {{User:Tina/sig}} 14:19, 29 December 2010 (MST)<br />
:Hey, no problem. Pretty much everything in the "Help pages" row of [[smashwiki:Template:Helpnav|this template]] is what I've worked with, and I think most of it is pretty generic and could be very easily tweaked for WikiBound (like the [[Help:Images|three of them]] [[Help:Archiving|that I]] [[Help:Talk Pages|already did]]). I'd say you can direct where I go from here.<br />
:Next up on my tweaking list: the disambig template. (You'll see in a sec.)

==Question about Clayman==<br />
The spoiler tag overlaps with the enemy table, I tried to fix it but it looked kinda ugly when I previewed, can you give it a try?<br><br />
[[User:Multus|Multus]] 14:47, 11 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
:I'm not seeing an overlap. Again, I'd hazard a guess it's a browser-based issue. Do you have a screenshot of what you're seeing?

::Probably browser-based. [http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/8260/001fish.png This] is what I'm getting when using Chrome, though it looks perfectly normal when using, say, IE. Google Chrome apparently tends to be evil when visting here. Weird stuff. ~ [[User:Sun Braid|Sun Braid]] 15:18, 11 May 2011 (MDT)<br />
:::It's a common error with Chrome- centered templates tend to not work very well with it, sadly. There's a workaround for it, which I should really get around to implementing... ugh. lol. {{User:Tina/sig}} 15:55, 11 May 2011 (MDT)<br />

:Hey, that's pretty interesting. At some point, we might generate stubs-for-editing that way on the community portal or the Main Page. Right now, though, manual updating has seemed to be fine.

== Music/Combo sounds ==<br />
<br />
Would it be OK to do what you did with music--Great job on that by the way :) -- for the combo sound effects?(For the main characters, or at least for the fake frying pan/bat. I know 'I' didn't have the money to buy them both on my first playthrough, and it haunted me...) [[User:Multus|Multus]] 21:33, 7 October 2011 (EDT)<br />
:Where exactly were you planning on putting those links?

::There's a few things I could do, but I'm thinking a little optional slot on the character infobox. (Maybe a show/hide thing. Not sure.) and putting Fake bat/pan sound off to the side next to the trivia referencing the changed combo sound. [[User:Multus|Multus]] 21:59, 7 October 2011 (EDT)<br />
:::Sounds fine. Where are you going to get ogg versions of those sound effects, though?

:::::Keep in mind there are six patterns of three notes for each playable character, plus one set of three for each Fake item. (Five of Duster's are unused, seemingly by a bug.)

::::::Yeah, might have to do just a short 1-hit sample, because looking into the games coding went to no avail, and it isn't easy to combo without sound, haha. (It was so easy to break into Mother1+2's sound, though... what a bummer.) The problem is the combo sounds aren't single sound effects, they're separate bits pieced together. :/ [[User:Multus|Multus]] 14:21, 8 October 2011 (EDT)<br />
:::::::It is possible to start a battle in M3 with no battle song; however, doing so makes it seemingly impossible to combo, unfortunately.

== Enemy PSI Strength ==<br />
<br />
On my attack table for [[Einswine]], you stated that the damage range for its offensive PSI is the same as it is for the player characters. However (in my experience, at least), Mother 3 enemies (unlike EarthBound enemies) do considerably less damage than player characters when using offensive PSI. That means that the damage range you used is inaccurate. Have you noticed this when you play the game; do you agree with this? If so, how can we accurately represent the offensive PSI damage range of Mother 3 enemies? Also, I'm really grateful that you've been fixing these fails I've been having with the attack tables (me being a newbie and all), and I'll try not to fail so much in the future! Thanks! [[User:AquaAzure|AquaAzure]] 22:25, 7 January 2012 (EST)<br />
:It's a tough call. Part of the goal was to standardize the M3 tables with the EB ones, but I agree that the damage is not consistent. Part of the reason I'd held off on M1 and M3 attack templates was that to my knowledge there's no resource which exhaustively lists all of the enemies' possible actions (where EB has [http://starmen.net/mother2/ebdb/enemies.php this]).

::Hmm. Yeah, I'm gonna hold off on making attack tables for PSI-capable enemies for that reason until someone can find a solution. For normal enemies, I can find the rarely-used attack patterns by defending through enough turns, but it takes a long time...Are there any more-important projects that I should be looking into instead? Thanks! [[User:AquaAzure|AquaAzure]] 23:55, 7 January 2012 (EST)<br />
:::You can always help with expanding non-enemy stubs. We have... a lot of them.

@Azure Haha... Yes, we do have a lot of stubs... It's a lot different and poses some challenges having an editing team as small as this wiki's. There's a lot of things that can be done to help, though. A small fraction of things to do can be found [[User:Multus/Lists|here]], but that's just a slice of the pie, so to speak. (Or cake, if you're a cake person, I suppose.) We would do a project system probably if our editing team was a bit larger, I'd think. <br />
<br />
@Miles: Hum... I did some searching around for a listing for the Mother 3 enemy attacks, and turned up nothing. I might have to go browse Google Japan for a Japanese listing maybe, but a solution for this should hopefully be found soon. :/ Most of the enemy pages are only stubs because of the attack tables.

:No problem. Trying to lay out four of those infoboxes in a 2x2 grid doesn't seem like it would be that tough, but it's a real mess code-wise. Glad to see a new editor around!

::Funny thing about that; I'm actually Lord Grammaticus of the Earthbound Wikia. I figured I should help here as well, and in fact, I was wondering if I could take a few cues from your wiki - that is to say, I need to work on how pages and templates are formatting and get them as neat as yours.

:::TBH, a lot of our editors have a lot of problems with the EarthBound Wikia; it has a lot of errors and assumptions presented as facts, and a lot of presentation problems (no spoiler protection, for example). We're not averse to having new editors from there, but recognize that we do not really want to associate with that site. Not to mention, NIWA is intentionally counter-Wikia.

'''Ness''' is a boy from the town of [[Onett]]. Ness is the protagonist of [[EarthBound]]. He is a gifted child with various [[PSI]] powers, and has the power to use each of the eight [[Your Sanctuary]] locations throughout the game to add some notes to the [[Sound Stone]]. Upon ridding his mind of [[Ness's Nightmare|all of the evil within him]], Ness unlocks his true potential and becomes the absolute strongest member of his party.<br />
<br />
== In [[EarthBound]] ==<br />
Ness's adventure first starts when a meteor crashes in Onett. He goes to investigate, but goes back. He later comes back with his neighbor [[Pokey]] to find [[Picky]], Pokey's brother. While there, Ness meets [[Buzz Buzz]] who tells Ness about him going to save the world from [[Giygas]], the game's main antagonist. Ness eventually meets with [[Paula|three]] [[Jeff|other]] [[Poo|people]], who also have been given the same fate. They travel through the land, and eventually defeat Giygas. After this, Ness receives a letter from his mother, who tells him about the family not eating as much of his favorite food anymore. He also escorts Paula back to Twoson.<br />

===Trophy information===<br />
====Super Smash Bros.====<br />
;Figure description<br />
:''Ness was a seemingly-average kid from [[Onett]], but in truth, he was destined for much more. When a strange meteorite landed near his hometown, the little boy with psychic powers set out to save the world. Little has been said of Ness's character, and much remains hidden.''<br />
<br />
====Super Smash Bros. Melee====<br />
;Classic Mode<br />
:''Ness is a young boy who's mastered the psychic power known as [[PSI]]. Ness was living a normal life in the suburbs of [[Onett]] until a meteor crashed into a nearby mountain and sent him on a wild adventure. Believing in the ultimate powers of wisdom, courage, and friendship, Ness proves that some heroes come in small packages.''<br />
;Adventure Mode<br />
:''The key to mastering Ness is controlling his unique midair jump, which makes up for what he lacks in speed. His [[PK Flash]] attack may seem weak at first glance, but it grows more powerful the longer you hold down the B Button. To do a lot of damage with [[PK Fire]], try to burn your opponent as many times as possible.''<br />
;All-Star Mode<br />
:''Ness's mind is his best weapon. [[PK Thunder]] is a PSI missile weapon that can be guided using the Control Stick, and if Ness hits himself with it, he turns into a living missile capable of doing massive damage. This move can also be used for recovery. [[PSI Magnet]] turns energy missile attacks into health; try out certain Pokémon for stamina replenishment.''<br />
<br />
====Super Smash Bros. Brawl====<br />
;Regular<br />
:''An average boy whose life changed when he found a meteor and an [[Buzz Buzz|alien]] on a nearby mountain. The alien warned him of a [[Giygas|future threat]], and adventure ensued. He can use psychic energy known as PSI, and also wields a [[Baseball bats|bat]] and [[yo-yo]]. This brave youth gives his all to defeat the evil Giygas.''<br />
;Final Smash<br />
:''Ness as he calls down a host of [[PK Starstorm|damage dealing stars]] in his Final Smash. Everyone on the screen must dodge like crazy to avoid getting hurt, but that's no easy task. This attack first appeared in the Mother series, but it was [[Poo]], not Ness, who wielded it. Perhaps Poo taught Ness the secret of the attack for use in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.''<br />

'''Paula''' is a girl from [[Twoson]], and is one of the main playable characters in [[EarthBound]]. She has advanced psychic powers, mainly wielding elemental [[PSI]], and is shown to use telepathy as well. Paula is well-known throughout Twoson for her abilities, and helping out at [[Polestar Preschool]].<br />
<br />
She can also use the [[Paula#Praying|pray]] command in battle, which has a large amount of random effects. Among these effects include restoring HP to party members, making both enemies and the party [[Status effects|cry]], and reviving both unconscious party members and enemies.<br />
<br />
==In EarthBound==<br />
===History===<br />
{{spoiler}}<br />
In [[EarthBound]], [[Ness]] first receives a telepathic message from her in his sleep after defeating the [[Titanic Ant]]. She has been kidnapped, and needs his assistance to break out. He travels through [[Peaceful Rest Valley]] and to a cabin, where she is being held. [[Mr. Carpainter]] had kidnapped her, in hopes to use her as the "high priestess" for [[Happy Happyism]]. Paula tells Ness that Mr. Carpainter holds the key to her prison, and gives him the [[Franklin Badge]] for protection from his otherwise-deadly lightning attacks. After he retrieves the key, Paula joins his party, and accompanies him for the rest of the game. When the two of them get imprisoned in [[Threed]] by zombies, she sends a telepathic message to [[Jeff]], urging him to go south from [[Winters]] to rescue them.<br />
<br />
Later, in [[Fourside]], she is kidnapped in the department store by the [[Dept. Store Spook]], working for [[Geldegarde Monotoli|Mr. Monotoli]]. Ness and Jeff defeat the Dept. Store Spook, although by the time they do so, it is too late, and Paula is trapped in the [[Monotoli Building]]. The two of them go through [[Moonside]], and destroy the [[Mani-Mani Statue]] that was possessing Mr. Monotoli. They then ascend the Monotoli Building, and upon reaching the 50th floor, Mr. Monotoli gives Paula back, and apologizes for the ordeal. Paula uses her gnostic abilities to sense that they must go back to [[Threed]] to reach [[Summers]], where they find the now-repaired [[Sky Runner]] to fly.<br />
<br />
In the final battle against [[Giygas]], Paula uses her praying abilities to contact various characters they met on their journey, including [[the player]]. With everyone's powers combined, they all manage to defeat Giygas. At the end of the game, Paula receives a letter from the children at the Polestar Preschool, and Ness escorts her back home to [[Twoson]].<br />

'''Giygas''', also known as '''Giegue''' in {{vg|Mother}}, is the main antagonist in [[Mother (video game)|Mother]] and [[EarthBound]].<br />
<br />
Giygas was raised from infancy by a woman named [[Maria]] and her husband [[George]], both of whom were abducted from Earth in 1906. During this time, George studied the aliens' [[PSI]] powers without their permission, culminating with his escape back to Earth.<br />

}}<br />
In Mother, Giegue invades Earth, abducting parents and sending other aliens and robots to attack people, especially [[Ninten]]. His first attempt was to have Ninten's [[lamp]] assassinate him, but this failed attempt leads Ninten to start his journey, discovering who Giegue is, and what relation he had to his family.<br />
<br />
Atop [[Mt. Itoi]], Giegue is confronted by Ninten and his companions. Before the fight actually begins, Giegue seems to offer to spare Ninten's life out of respect for Ninten's great-grandparents who raised him, asking him to come with him back to his planet. Ninten declines, and after being turned down, Giegue attacks him, and is invulnerable to every attack.<br />
<br />
After Ninten and his friends sing the [[Eight Melodies]] multiple times, Giegue is forced to retreat as the emotional stress becomes too much for him to handle, promising to return and attack again.<br />
<br />
For clarity, [[the player]] cannot name a character Giegue.<br />
<br />
===In-game description===<br />
"''(Ninten hears the voice of Queen Mary) Giegue cannot be defeated with force... You cannot defeat Giegue with a weapon of any kind. You must SING my lullaby, with all your feelings... SING my lullaby with all your heart.''"<br />

In [[EarthBound]] (the subtitle of which is "The War Against Giygas"), Giygas has ruled the world ten years into the future, and uses the [[Apple of Enlightenment]] to see further into the future. Giygas witnesses his defeat at the hands of [[Ness]] and his party, and sets out to prevent this from happening.<br />
<br />
[[Ness]] hears about him from [[Buzz Buzz]], who came from the future to warn him about Giygas' plot. Shortly afterwards, they are both attacked by one of Giygas' henchmen, a [[Starman Junior]].<br />
<br />
Ness goes through all of [[Eagleland]] to harness his powers in order to defeat Giygas, and gains three fated companions - [[Paula]], [[Jeff]], and [[Poo]] - along the way. Giygas must be fought in the [[Cave of the Past|past]], and to go there, the [[Phase Distorter]] must be used. The third such vehicle brings the party to him, with them becoming robots in the process. Similar to Giygas's appearance in {{vg|Mother}}, he can only be defeated by [[Paula#Praying|prayer]]. When finally defeated, [[Eagleland]] will be free of monsters, and can be explored freely, until Ness talks to his mother, which will end the game.<br />

The '''EarthBound Player's Guide''' is a massive guidebook that was packaged with [[EarthBound]] as a set. It contains 128 pages, detailing many maps and shops, along with fake newspaper articles. It contains artwork of some of the items in the game, as well as detailed information and clay models of nearly every enemy that appears in the game. Its size was one of the factors that increased the size of EarthBound's box. The back of the guidebook also includes scratch-and-sniff cards.

The Player's Guide was made available online at the release EarthBound on the Wii U Virtual Console. It has been optimized for viewing on the Wii U Gamepad.<br />

'''EarthBound''' (Japanese: '''MOTHER2 ~ギーグの逆襲~''' ''Mother 2: {{tt|Gyiyg|Giygas}} Strikes Back'', occasionally rendered as '''マザー2''') is an RPG released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1995; it was developed by [[Ape Inc.]] and [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It is a sequel to the original {{vg|Mother}}, which did not see an official English release; rather than featuring the protagonists who appeared in Mother, EarthBound features a different set.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
{{construction}}<br />
===Meteor Crash===<br />
The story of EarthBound starts with a young boy named [[Ness]] from the city of [[Onett]], who wakes up late one night when a meteor lands in the nearby hills. He immediately sets off to investigate, but upon reaching the site, he finds the police have already closed the area off and is told to turn back and come later. Later that night, Ness is woken by his neighbor, [[Porky Minch|Pokey]], who requests Ness' help in finding his brother, [[Picky Minch|Picky]]. They find Picky near the meteor, but as they are about to leave, a small insect flies out of the meteor. The insect introduces himself as [[Buzz Buzz]], and tells Ness that he comes from a future where an evil alien named [[Giygas]] has destroyed the world. He also speaks of a prophecy that states that three boys and one girl are the key to defeating Giygas before this future can come about. Buzz Buzz tells Ness that he believes Ness is one of the three boys and decides to journey with him in his quest to save the world.<br />
<br />
After Buzz Buzz joins Ness, the group heads back so Picky and Pokey can get home. Shortly before they arrive, they are accosted by an alien known as the [[Starman Junior]], who states that he was sent back in time by Giygas to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled. A fight ensues, but the Starman Junior is powerless against Buzz Buzz, who protects the others while completely overpowering their opponent. After the group emerges victorious, Picky and Pokey finally manage to get home, where they are promptly grounded. As Ness prepares to leave, Pokey's [[Lardna Minch|mother]] notices Buzz Buzz and, mistaking him for a dung beetle, swats him. Mortally injured, Buzz Buzz gives Ness the [[Sound Stone]] and tells him to use it at each of the eight [[Your Sanctuary|sanctuaries]]; doing so will allow Ness to use the power of the entire world in his battle against Giygas. After passing on his final instructions, Buzz Buzz dies; Ness then sets off on his adventure.<br />
<br />
Ness shortly finds himself in downtown Onett, which is currently being terrorized by a gang known as [[The Sharks]]. As the path to [[Giant Step]], the first of the eight sanctuaries, is closed off, Ness decides to help the citizens with their gang problems. He fights and defeats the Sharks, including their leader, [[Frank]], and his pet robot, the [[Frankystein Mark II]]. After saving the town, [[B.H. Pirkle|Mayor Pirkle]] allows him to go to Giant Step as thanks. Along the way, Ness battles and defeats the [[Titanic Ant]], the first of the eight sanctuary guardians. Finally, Ness reaches the first sanctuary and records the first piece of the [[Eight Melodies|melody]].<br />
<br />
===A Companion===<br />
After he leaves the Giant Step, he is stopped by cops. The cops attack him, though he defeats all of them that challenge him, including their leader, [[Captain Strong]]. Strong then opens up the path to [[Twoson]] for Ness. Once there, Ness encounters (and fights) [[Everdred]] of [[Burglin Park]], who is one of many residents of Twoson to inform him that a girl named [[Paula]] has been kidnapped. He then stops by [[Polestar Preschool]], and meets Paula's parents. They say that she was supposed to meet with him, receiving a dream saying something about a boy named Ness. She's gone, and Ness goes to the [[hotel]] to rest. She contacts him in a dream, asking for help. The only clue Ness is giving is water running in the distance. To find her, Ness goes east through a small cave into [[Peaceful Rest Valley]], leading to [[Happy Happy Village]], where a [[Happy Happyism|cult]] centered around the color blue has taken control; many [[Insane Cultist|cultists]] roam the town. Ness finds a cabin where Paula is locked up; she informs him that the cult leader, [[Mr. Carpainter]], has locked it. To help defeat Carpainter, Paula gives Ness a [[Franklin Badge]]. Ness exits the house, and sees cultists and Pokey, who was made an important person in Happy-Happyism. Pokey makes the cultists and a crow fight Ness, as he runs off. Ultimately, Ness defeats Carpainter himself, who was being influenced by the evil [[Mani-Mani Statue]]. To apologize, Carpainter gives Ness the key to release Paula. When he exits, he sees only three of the previous multitude of cultists remaining, and then Pokey too. Pokey pretends to apologize to Ness, running away again. Ness then frees Paula, and she joins him to save the land. The duo then go into [[Lilliput Steps]], and take it back from [[Mondo Mole]].<br />
<br />
===Zombie Town===<br />
The duo go back to Twoson, and go to the [[Chaos Theater]]. They find the [[Runaway Five]] here, who want to leave but cannot due to owing a debt to [[Mr. Poochyfud]], the [[Chaos Theater]] manager. Ness pays the debt of $10000 with a wad of bills collected from [[Everdred]]. The [[Runaway Five]] thank Ness and Paula by taking them to [[Threed]]. Ness and Paula soon find out that the town is infested with zombies. They first enter the graveyard to meet two strange zombie guards who stare into their souls. When the two head back, they find a strangely dressed woman outside of the hotel, luring them in. Once they reach the hotel room, zombies ambush the pair and lock them underneath the graveyard. Ness and Paula try desperately to open the door and soon Paula communicates through telepathy to send a message to [[Jeff]] to help them.<br />
<br />
===A Second New Companion===<br />
[[Jeff]], a student of the [[Snow Wood Boarding House]] receives the message in his sleep, and is prepared to leave. His best friend [[Tony]] wanders around the school with him as Jeff collects items to prepare for his adventure. While [[Tony]] does not want Jeff to leave, he trusts that his friend knows what he is doing and helps him sneak out of the school. Once [[Jeff]] is outside of the gate, he wanders down to [[Lake Tess]], where a rare [[Tessie]] sighting was supposed to occur. Jeff eventually finds himself riding Tessie to the other side of Winters. He meets [[Brick Road]] after going through a [[Brick Road Maze|dungeon]] and finds his way through a cave with the help of [[Bubble Monkey]] to unlatch the climbing ropes ultimately leading to [[Dr. Andonuts]]'s lab. In the lab, his father has the [[Sky Runner]] prepared for him. Jeff takes off and heads back to Threed with a crash landing in order to save Ness and Paula. He uses the [[List of key items in EarthBound#Bad key machine|Bad key machine]] he obtained from [[Maxwell]] and they escape.<br />
<br />
===Vanquishing the Zombies===<br />
The [[Boogey Tent]] is the first strange life-like tent the trio have to defeat. Once defeated, zombie activity increases tenfold. The [[Apple Kid]] gives Ness a new invention called [[List of key items in EarthBound#Zombie paper|Zombie paper]] and it is used to attract all of the zombies in Threed (including the ones guarding the graveyard) into the tent in the middle of town, trapping them. The trio set out for [[Grapefruit Falls]] after a dark time through the underground tunnels. Many enemy encounters later, they meet the [[Mr. Saturn]] folk in [[Saturn Valley]] where they learn how to enter the [[Belch's Base|lair]] of [[Master Belch]]. Defeating him allows them to enter [[Milky Well]] and take on the [[Trillionage Sprout]]. Once the third Your Sanctuary location is obtained, they head back to Threed to find the town back in normal shape. With the [[Zombie Possessor]]s gone from the tunnels that the buses travel through, they are free to head towards their next destination, [[Fourside]].<br />
<br />
===Stuck in the Dunes===<br />
<br />
==Characters==<br />
===Playable===<br />
'''[[Ness]]''' is the protagonist of EarthBound. He lives in the town of [[Onett]]. Ness uses his psychic abilities to perform [[PSI Flash]] and [[PSI Rockin]] attacks. In addition to [[PSI]], Ness uses various [[Baseball bat]]s as weapons.<br />
<br />
'''[[Paula]]''' is a girl from [[Twoson]]. She is able to perform [[PK Freeze|PSI Freeze]], [[PK Fire|PSI Fire]], and [[PK Thunder|PSI Thunder]] attacks; she can also use a special ability known as [[Paula#Praying|Pray]], which creates random effects in battle. Paula uses various [[Frying pan]]s as weapons.<br />
<br />
'''[[Jeff]]''' is a boy from [[Winters]]. He is unable to perform PSI attacks -- instead, he relies on his high IQ to help the team. He can also [[Jeff#Spying|Spy]] on an enemy to learn about its stats. Jeff is able to repair certain items that would otherwise be unusable and then use them in battle. To attack, he uses various types of [[Gun]]s. He is the son of the famous scientist [[Dr. Andonuts]].<br />
<br />
'''[[Poo]]''', the prince of [[Dalaam]], is the oldest member of the team and a martial arts master. He is able to perform [[PK Freeze|PSI Freeze]], [[PK Thunder|PSI Thunder]], and [[PK Starstorm|PSI Starstorm]], and he can also use his [[Poo#Mirror|Mirror]] ability to transform into an enemy during battle. Poo specializes in a sword known as the [[Blade|Sword of kings]].<br />
<br />
==Virtual Console rerelease==<br />
On March 20, 2013, EarthBound was re-released in Japan for the Wii U Virtual Console. The rerelease was highly publicized, with [[Shigesato Itoi]] himself doing a live stream of playing the game. The game was changed, but only a bit: A line of text in [[Burglin Park]] was slightly tweaked, and the [[PSI]] animations were softened to reduce the risk of seizures. The game was ultimately released for the Virtual Console in North America and Europe on July 18, 2013.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The ESRB, the American rating system for video games, rated EarthBound for the Wii Virtual Console. This rating, however, was a mistake. [http://www.infendo.com/no-earthbound-for-vc-esrb-rating-a-mistake/] The game was later confirmed for a WiiU Virtual Console release, scheduled for late 2013. [http://earthboundcentral.com/2013/04/earthbound-on-virtual-console-coming/]<br />
*EarthBound is somewhat infamous because of Nintendo's odd marketing campaign, which included the tagline "This game stinks!" (a reference to the included scratch-and-sniff cards). This may even have contributed to its lack of success in America.{{Cite-needed}}<br />
*All of the game's areas are connected to each other. Using a glitch to walk through otherwise impassable objects and off the map, players can literally walk to Giygas's lair in the [[Cave of the Past]].<br />

'''EarthBound''' (Japanese: '''MOTHER2 ~ギーグの逆襲~''' ''Mother 2: {{tt|Gyiyg|Giygas}} Strikes Back'', occasionally rendered as '''マザー2''') is an RPG released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1995; it was developed by [[Ape Inc.]] and [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It is a sequel to the original {{vg|Mother}}, which did not see an official English release; rather than featuring the protagonists who appeared in Mother, EarthBound features a different set.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
{{construction}}<br />
===Meteor Crash===<br />
The story of EarthBound starts with a young boy named [[Ness]] from the city of [[Onett]], who wakes up late one night when a meteor lands in the nearby hills. He immediately sets off to investigate, but upon reaching the site, he finds the police have already closed the area off and is told to turn back and come later. Later that night, Ness is woken by his neighbor, [[Porky Minch|Pokey]], who requests Ness' help in finding his brother, [[Picky Minch|Picky]]. They find Picky near the meteor, but as they are about to leave, a small insect flies out of the meteor. The insect introduces himself as [[Buzz Buzz]], and tells Ness that he comes from a future where an evil alien named [[Giygas]] has destroyed the world. He also speaks of a prophecy that states that three boys and one girl are the key to defeating Giygas before this future can come about. Buzz Buzz tells Ness that he believes Ness is one of the three boys and decides to journey with him in his quest to save the world.<br />
<br />
After Buzz Buzz joins Ness, the group heads back so Picky and Pokey can get home. Shortly before they arrive, they are accosted by an alien known as the [[Starman Junior]], who states that he was sent back in time by Giygas to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled. A fight ensues, but the Starman Junior is powerless against Buzz Buzz, who protects the others while completely overpowering their opponent. After the group emerges victorious, Picky and Pokey finally manage to get home, where they are promptly grounded. As Ness prepares to leave, Pokey's [[Lardna Minch|mother]] notices Buzz Buzz and, mistaking him for a dung beetle, swats him. Mortally injured, Buzz Buzz gives Ness the [[Sound Stone]] and tells him to use it at each of the eight [[Your Sanctuary|sanctuaries]]; doing so will allow Ness to use the power of the entire world in his battle against Giygas. After passing on his final instructions, Buzz Buzz dies; Ness then sets off on his adventure.<br />
<br />
Ness shortly finds himself in downtown Onett, which is currently being terrorized by a gang known as [[The Sharks]]. As the path to [[Giant Step]], the first of the eight sanctuaries, is closed off, Ness decides to help the citizens with their gang problems. He fights and defeats the Sharks, including their leader, [[Frank]], and his pet robot, the [[Frankystein Mark II]]. After saving the town, [[B.H. Pirkle|Mayor Pirkle]] allows him to go to Giant Step as thanks. Along the way, Ness battles and defeats the [[Titanic Ant]], the first of the eight sanctuary guardians. Finally, Ness reaches the first sanctuary and records the first piece of the [[Eight Melodies|melody]].<br />
<br />
===A Companion===<br />
After he leaves the Giant Step, he is stopped by cops. The cops attack him, though he defeats all of them that challenge him, including their leader, [[Captain Strong]]. Strong then opens up the path to [[Twoson]] for Ness. Once there, Ness encounters (and fights) [[Everdred]] of [[Burglin Park]], who is one of many residents of Twoson to inform him that a girl named [[Paula]] has been kidnapped. He then stops by [[Polestar Preschool]], and meets Paula's parents. They say that she was supposed to meet with him, receiving a dream saying something about a boy named Ness. She's gone, and Ness goes to the [[hotel]] to rest. She contacts him in a dream, asking for help. The only clue Ness is giving is water running in the distance. To find her, Ness goes east through a small cave into [[Peaceful Rest Valley]], leading to [[Happy Happy Village]], where a [[Happy Happyism|cult]] centered around the color blue has taken control; many [[Insane Cultist|cultists]] roam the town. Ness finds a cabin where Paula is locked up; she informs him that the cult leader, [[Mr. Carpainter]], has locked it. To help defeat Carpainter, Paula gives Ness a [[Franklin Badge]]. Ness exits the house, and sees cultists and Pokey, who was made an important person in Happy-Happyism. Pokey makes the cultists and a crow fight Ness, as he runs off. Ultimately, Ness defeats Carpainter himself, who was being influenced by the evil [[Mani-Mani Statue]]. To apologize, Carpainter gives Ness the key to release Paula. When he exits, he sees only three of the previous multitude of cultists remaining, and then Pokey too. Pokey pretends to apologize to Ness, running away again. Ness then frees Paula, and she joins him to save the land. The duo then go into [[Lilliput Steps]], and take it back from [[Mondo Mole]].<br />
<br />
===Zombie Town===<br />
The duo go back to Twoson, and go to the [[Chaos Theater]]. They find the [[Runaway Five]] here, who want to leave but cannot due to owing a debt to [[Mr. Poochyfud]], the [[Chaos Theater]] manager. Ness pays the debt of $10000 with a wad of bills collected from [[Everdred]]. The [[Runaway Five]] thank Ness and Paula by taking them to [[Threed]]. Ness and Paula soon find out that the town is infested with zombies. They first enter the graveyard to meet two strange zombie guards who stare into their souls. When the two head back, they find a strangely dressed woman outside of the hotel, luring them in. Once they reach the hotel room, zombies ambush the pair and lock them underneath the graveyard. Ness and Paula try desperately to open the door and soon Paula communicates through telepathy to send a message to [[Jeff]] to help them.<br />
<br />
===A Second New Companion===<br />
[[Jeff]], a student of the [[Snow Wood Boarding House]] receives the message in his sleep, and is prepared to leave. His best friend [[Tony]] wanders around the school with him as Jeff collects items to prepare for his adventure. While [[Tony]] does not want Jeff to leave, he trusts that his friend knows what he is doing and helps him sneak out of the school. Once [[Jeff]] is outside of the gate, he wanders down to [[Lake Tess]], where a rare [[Tessie]] sighting was supposed to occur. Jeff eventually finds himself riding Tessie to the other side of Winters. He meets [[Brick Road]] after going through a [[Brick Road Maze|dungeon]] and finds his way through a cave with the help of [[Bubble Monkey]] to unlatch the climbing ropes ultimately leading to [[Dr. Andonuts]]'s lab. In the lab, his father has the [[Sky Runner]] prepared for him. Jeff takes off and heads back to Threed with a crash landing in order to save Ness and Paula. He uses the [[List of key items in EarthBound#Bad key machine|Bad key machine]] he obtained from [[Maxwell]] and they escape.<br />
<br />
===Vanquishing the Zombies===<br />
The [[Boogey Tent]] is the first strange life-like tent the trio have to defeat. Once defeated, zombie activity increases tenfold. The [[Apple Kid]] gives Ness a new invention called [[List of key items in EarthBound#Zombie paper|Zombie paper]] and it is used to attract all of the zombies in Threed (including the ones guarding the graveyard) into the tent in the middle of town, trapping them. The trio set out for [[Grapefruit Falls]] after a dark time through the underground tunnels. Many enemy encounters later, they meet the [[Mr. Saturn]] folk in [[Saturn Valley]] where they learn how to enter the [[Belch's Base|lair]] of [[Master Belch]]. Defeating him allows them to enter [[Milky Well]] and take on the [[Trillionage Sprout]]. Once the third Your Sanctuary location is obtained, they head back to Threed to find the town back in normal shape. With the [[Zombie Possessor]]s gone from the tunnels that the buses travel through, they are free to head towards their next destination, [[Fourside]].<br />

<br />
==Virtual Console rerelease==<br />
On March 20, 2013, EarthBound was re-released in Japan for the Wii U Virtual Console. The rerelease was highly publicized, with [[Shigesato Itoi]] himself doing a live stream of playing the game. The game was changed, but only a bit: A line of text in [[Burglin Park]] was slightly tweaked, and the [[PSI]] animations were softened to reduce the risk of seizures. The game was ultimately released for the Virtual Console in North America and Europe on July 18, 2013.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The ESRB, the American rating system for video games, rated EarthBound for the Wii Virtual Console. This rating, however, was a mistake. [http://www.infendo.com/no-earthbound-for-vc-esrb-rating-a-mistake/] The game was later confirmed for a WiiU Virtual Console release, scheduled for late 2013. [http://earthboundcentral.com/2013/04/earthbound-on-virtual-console-coming/]<br />
*EarthBound is somewhat infamous because of Nintendo's odd marketing campaign, which included the tagline "This game stinks!" (a reference to the included scratch-and-sniff cards). This may even have contributed to its lack of success in America.{{Cite-needed}}<br />
*All of the game's areas are connected to each other. Using a glitch to walk through otherwise impassable objects and off the map, players can literally walk to Giygas's lair in the [[Cave of the Past]].<br />

He also speaks of a prophecy that states that three boys and one girl are the key to defeating Giygas before this future can come about. Buzz Buzz tells Ness that he believes Ness is one of the three boys and decides to journey with him in his quest to save the world.<br />
<br />
After Buzz Buzz joins Ness, the group heads back so Picky and Pokey can get home. Shortly before they arrive, they are accosted by an alien known as the [[Starman Junior]], who states that he was sent back in time by Giygas to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled. A fight ensues, but the Starman Junior is powerless against Buzz Buzz, who protects the others while completely overpowering their opponent. After the group emerges victorious, Picky and Pokey finally manage to get home, where they are promptly grounded. As Ness prepares to leave, Pokey's [[Lardna Minch|mother]] notices Buzz Buzz and, mistaking him for a dung beetle, swats him. Mortally injured, Buzz Buzz gives Ness the [[Sound Stone]] and tells him to use it at each of the eight [[Your Sanctuary|sanctuaries]]; doing so will allow Ness to use the power of the entire world in his battle against Giygas. After passing on his final instructions, Buzz Buzz dies; Ness then sets off on his adventure.<br />
<br />
Ness shortly finds himself in downtown Onett, which is currently being terrorized by a gang known as [[The Sharks]]. As the path to [[Giant Step]], the first of the eight sanctuaries, is closed off, Ness decides to help the citizens with their gang problems. He fights and defeats the Sharks, including their leader, [[Frank]], and his pet robot, the [[Frankystein Mark II]]. After saving the town, [[B.H. Pirkle|Mayor Pirkle]] allows him to go to Giant Step as thanks. Along the way, Ness battles and defeats the [[Titanic Ant]], the first of the eight sanctuary guardians. Finally, Ness reaches the first sanctuary and records the first piece of the [[Eight Melodies|melody]].<br />
<br />
===A Companion===<br />
After he leaves the Giant Step, he is stopped by cops. The cops attack him, though he defeats all of them that challenge him, including their leader, [[Captain Strong]]. Strong then opens up the path to [[Twoson]] for Ness. Once there, Ness encounters (and fights) [[Everdred]] of [[Burglin Park]], who is one of many residents of Twoson to inform him that a girl named [[Paula]] has been kidnapped. He then stops by [[Polestar Preschool]], and meets Paula's parents. They say that she was supposed to meet with him, receiving a dream saying something about a boy named Ness. She's gone, and Ness goes to the [[hotel]] to rest. She contacts him in a dream, asking for help. The only clue Ness is giving is water running in the distance. To find her, Ness goes east through a small cave into [[Peaceful Rest Valley]], leading to [[Happy Happy Village]], where a [[Happy Happyism|cult]] centered around the color blue has taken control; many [[Insane Cultist|cultists]] roam the town. Ness finds a cabin where Paula is locked up; she informs him that the cult leader, [[Mr. Carpainter]], has locked it. To help defeat Carpainter, Paula gives Ness a [[Franklin Badge]]. Ness exits the house, and sees cultists and Pokey, who was made an important person in Happy-Happyism. Pokey makes the cultists and a crow fight Ness, as he runs off. Ultimately, Ness defeats Carpainter himself, who was being influenced by the evil [[Mani-Mani Statue]]. To apologize, Carpainter gives Ness the key to release Paula. When he exits, he sees only three of the previous multitude of cultists remaining, and then Pokey too. Pokey pretends to apologize to Ness, running away again. Ness then frees Paula, and she joins him to save the land. The duo then go into [[Lilliput Steps]], and take it back from [[Mondo Mole]].<br />
<br />
===Zombie Town===<br />
The duo go back to Twoson, and go to the [[Chaos Theater]]. They find the [[Runaway Five]] here, who want to leave but cannot due to owing a debt to [[Mr. Poochyfud]], the [[Chaos Theater]] manager. Ness pays the debt of $10000 with a wad of bills collected from [[Everdred]]. The [[Runaway Five]] thank Ness and Paula by taking them to [[Threed]]. Ness and Paula soon find out that the town is infested with zombies. They first enter the graveyard to meet two strange zombie guards who stare into their souls. When the two head back, they find a strangely dressed woman outside of the hotel, luring them in. Once they reach the hotel room, zombies ambush the pair and lock them underneath the graveyard. Ness and Paula try desperately to open the door and soon Paula communicates through telepathy to send a message to [[Jeff]] to help them.<br />
<br />
===A Second New Companion===<br />
[[Jeff]], a student of the [[Snow Wood Boarding House]] receives the message in his sleep, and is prepared to leave. His best friend [[Tony]] wanders around the school with him as Jeff collects items to prepare for his adventure. While [[Tony]] does not want Jeff to leave, he trusts that his friend knows what he is doing and helps him sneak out of the school. Once [[Jeff]] is outside of the gate, he wanders down to [[Lake Tess]], where a rare [[Tessie]] sighting was supposed to occur. Jeff eventually finds himself riding Tessie to the other side of Winters. He meets [[Brick Road]] after going through a [[Brick Road Maze|dungeon]] and finds his way through a cave with the help of [[Bubble Monkey]] to unlatch the climbing ropes ultimately leading to [[Dr. Andonuts]]'s lab. In the lab, his father has the [[Sky Runner]] prepared for him. Jeff takes off and heads back to Threed with a crash landing in order to save Ness and Paula. He uses the [[List of key items in EarthBound#Bad key machine|Bad key machine]] he obtained from [[Maxwell]] and they escape.<br />
<br />
===Vanquishing the Zombies===<br />
The [[Boogey Tent]] is the first strange life-like tent the trio have to defeat. Once defeated, zombie activity increases tenfold. The [[Apple Kid]] gives Ness a new invention called [[List of key items in EarthBound#Zombie paper|Zombie paper]] and it is used to attract all of the zombies in Threed (including the ones guarding the graveyard) into the tent in the middle of town, trapping them. The trio set out for [[Grapefruit Falls]] after a dark time through the underground tunnels. Many enemy encounters later, they meet the [[Mr. Saturn]] folk in [[Saturn Valley]] where they learn how to enter the [[Belch's Base|lair]] of [[Master Belch]]. Defeating him allows them to enter [[Milky Well]] and take on the [[Trillionage Sprout]]. Once the third Your Sanctuary location is obtained, they head back to Threed to find the town back in normal shape. With the [[Zombie Possessor]]s gone from the tunnels that the buses travel through, they are free to head towards their next destination, [[Fourside]].<br />

==Characters==<br />
===Playable===<br />
'''[[Ness]]''' is the protagonist of EarthBound. He lives in the town of [[Onett]]. Ness uses his psychic abilities to perform [[PSI Flash]] and [[PSI Rockin]] attacks. In addition to [[PSI]], Ness uses various [[Baseball bat]]s as weapons.<br />
<br />
'''[[Paula]]''' is a girl from [[Twoson]]. She is able to perform [[PK Freeze|PSI Freeze]], [[PK Fire|PSI Fire]], and [[PK Thunder|PSI Thunder]] attacks; she can also use a special ability known as [[Paula#Praying|Pray]], which creates random effects in battle. Paula uses various [[Frying pan]]s as weapons.<br />
<br />
'''[[Jeff]]''' is a boy from [[Winters]]. He is unable to perform PSI attacks -- instead, he relies on his high IQ to help the team. He can also [[Jeff#Spying|Spy]] on an enemy to learn about its stats. Jeff is able to repair certain items that would otherwise be unusable and then use them in battle. To attack, he uses various types of [[Gun]]s. He is the son of the famous scientist [[Dr. Andonuts]].<br />

'''[[Poo]]''', the prince of [[Dalaam]], is the oldest member of the team and a martial arts master. He is able to perform [[PK Freeze|PSI Freeze]], [[PK Thunder|PSI Thunder]], and [[PK Starstorm|PSI Starstorm]], and he can also use his [[Poo#Mirror|Mirror]] ability to transform into an enemy during battle. Poo specializes in a sword known as the [[Blade|Sword of kings]].<br />
<br />
==Virtual Console rerelease==<br />
On March 20, 2013, EarthBound was re-released in Japan for the Wii U Virtual Console. The rerelease was highly publicized, with [[Shigesato Itoi]] himself doing a live stream of playing the game. The game was changed, but only a bit: A line of text in [[Burglin Park]] was slightly tweaked, and the [[PSI]] animations were softened to reduce the risk of seizures. The game was ultimately released for the Virtual Console in North America on July 18, 2013, with a European release still on the way in the same year.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The ESRB, the American rating system for video games, rated EarthBound for the Wii Virtual Console. This rating, however, was a mistake. [http://www.infendo.com/no-earthbound-for-vc-esrb-rating-a-mistake/] The game was later confirmed for a WiiU Virtual Console release, scheduled for late 2013. [http://earthboundcentral.com/2013/04/earthbound-on-virtual-console-coming/]<br />
*EarthBound is somewhat infamous because of Nintendo's odd marketing campaign, which included the tagline "This game stinks!" (a reference to the included scratch-and-sniff cards). This may even have contributed to its lack of success in America.{{Cite-needed}}<br />
*All of the game's areas are connected to each other. Using a glitch to walk through otherwise impassable objects and off the map, players can literally walk to Giygas's lair in the [[Cave of the Past]].<br />

<hr />
<div>{{YNP}}{{Spoiler}}<br />
'''The player''' is simply whoever is playing the game, and can be given their own alias in-game. They are mentioned in all three games, and play a vital part in [[EarthBound]] and [[Mother 3]]. In the Japanese versions of the games, the player is asked to name themselves in both Japanese and English to allow them to appear in the credits.<br />
<br />
== In {{vg|Mother}} ==<br />
The option to name the player is first presented inside of the [[healer]]'s house in [[Snowman]]. If [[Ninten]] uses the phone, his father will ask for the player's name. If he does not use the phone in Snowman, another opportunity arises in the [[swamp]] east of [[Youngtown]], where [[Lloyd]]'s father asks for the player's name if they have not entered it in yet. If they already have, he allows them to change their name one last time before confirming it. The land mine in the [[Yucca Desert]] refers to the player's name, but only if they have entered it by that point. If the player's name has not been entered, it is omitted.<br />
<br />
Unlike the two games after it, however, the player is not acknowledged by the in-game characters. The player's name does, however, appear in the ending credits.<br />
<br />
== In [[EarthBound]] ==<br />
The first time that the player is ever mentioned is in [[Toto]] by [[Tony]] on the phone. He breaks the [[wikipedia:Fourth wall|fourth wall]] by asking the player to say their name and to make sure to take care of [[Jeff]] for him. Later, after [[Ness]] and his friends cure the [[Tenda]] of their shyness problem, the Tenda chief asks the player to sign his or her name, giving them one last chance to confirm their alias. In the final battle, after [[Paula]] runs out of people to [[pray]] for, the player prays for Ness and his friends, dealing the final damage needed to defeat [[Giygas]]. Finally, the player is given a special thanks in the credits.<br />
<br />
In the Japanese versions of the game, the two times to enter one's name serve slightly different purposes. In Toto, the player's name is given in English letters for usage in the game's all-English credits, while the Tenda Village instance asks for the spelling in Japanese characters for usage in the final battle's text. Since both usages are obviously in English in the American release, the second instance was relegated to simply double-checking the name.<br />
<br />
== In [[Mother 3]] ==<br />
The player is first asked for their name in [[Chapter 1]] when [[Flint]] offers a [[Forest Prayer Sanctuary|prayer]] before entering the [[Sunshine Forest]]. The name is later confirmed in [[Chapter 4]] by [[Mr. Brown]]. The player's name is used at the very end of the game, which is only activated if the player moves the END? message as if it were a character in the story. They speak to everyone who survived the awakening of the [[Dark Dragon]].<br />
<br />
The two opportunities for entering one's name in the Japanese version of Mother 3 function similarly to the two instances in Mother 2, asking once for the name in English and once for it in Japanese. The [[Mother 3 fan translation]] edited this to match EarthBound, with the second input being a double-check.<br />
<br />
===Hard mode===<br />
In the [[Mother 3 fan translation]], if the player names themselves "HARD MODE" at either time in the game, the difficulty of enemies will increase, including a raise in enemy [[Status|stats]], lower experience gained upon winning, etc. If done in [[Chapter 1]], it can be reset in [[Chapter 4]] if the player enters any other name when speaking to [[Mr. Brown]]. To get a message informing the player how to access hard mode, all enemies must be recorded in the [[Battle Memory]] before speaking to the final [[Save Frog]] in the game. The enemy's alternate sprites do not need to be recorded, however. Despite this, hard mode can be accessed even without seeing this message.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Favorite thing''' can refer to:<br />
<br />
*[[Ness]]'s favorite thing in [[EarthBound]], which yields its name to [[PSI Rockin]]<br />
*[[Lucas]]'s favorite thing in [[Mother 3]], which yields its name to [[PK Love]]<br />

}}<br />
'''Ellay''' is the last settlement of {{vg|Mother}}. It is infamous for the [[Bla-Bla Gang]], and is the hometown of [[Teddy]], the leader of the gang. The city has a couple of attractions to offer, namely a [[Live House|live house]] and an [[Look-Out Tower|observation tower]]. Ellay has a population of 32 individuals, an average temperature of 16°C, and its main industries are industrial manufacture and dairy.<ref name=ValentineRef>[[:File:ValentineRef.jpg|Excerpt from Valentine's (Ellay's) Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
In contrast to the other settlements of the game, Ellay has a police station, a [[harbor]], an [[Look-Out Tower|observation tower]], and a bar-like building known as the [[Live House]]. Excluding [[Teddy]], a total of seven [[Bla-Bla Gang]] [[B.B. Gang|members]] can be found throughout Ellay, six of whom automatically are battled when interacted with. Outside of the [[Live House]], an individual offers the party a [[List of key items in Mother#Ticket|Live House ticket]] for {{$}}1200; it can however be purchased for $350 in the city's [[department store]]. An NPC in the city's [[hotel]] also [[wikipedia:Fourth Wall|kicks the fourth wall]] by mentioning that she has heard of a game called "EARTH BOUND",<ref>"This game I heard of was titled "EARTH BOUND"... don't know exactly why... because it really doesn't matter. So if you shouldn't judge a book by its cover... Don't judge a game by its title." - NPC</ref> being the English name of {{vg|Mother}}.<br />
<br />
If [[the player]] answers yes when a girl inside the Live House offers to buy Ninten a drink, a policeman will enter the building and take the party to the police station due to underage drinking. The weapon that the leading party member currently has equipped will then get confiscated by the police officer; it can however later be purchased from another policeman inside the station for the same price offered in stores.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
Ellay is the third biggest settlement in the game, featuring an area of 12,062 square meters,<ref name=ValentineRef/> and is surpassed by [[Reindeer]] and [[Podunk]]. The city consists of sixty-nine buildings, twelve multi-storied ones and fifty-seven more house-like ones. While none of the house-like buildings can be entered, six of the multi-storied buildings are accessible, being the city's [[department store]], [[hospital]], [[hotel]], police station and a building called the [[Live House]]. The city is situated near a coastline that borders the Pacific Ocean,<ref>[[:File:EncyclopediaMotherMap.jpg|Map of the Overworld of Mother from Encyclopedia Mother]]</ref> and it does as a result have both a [[harbor]] and an [[Look-Out Tower|observation tower]]. Due to being located so close to the ocean, the city is surrounded by water streams, and can because of that only be accessed by bridges from the south and the east.<br />
<br />
To the south of the city lies the [[swamp]], and to the east of the city lies [[Mt. Itoi]]. The [[harbor]] and the [[Look-Out Tower]] are both located in the northern portion of the city.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
After leaving [[Youngtown]] and traversing the [[swamp]], [[Ninten]], [[Ana]] and [[Lloyd]] reach Ellay. Several [[B.B. Gang|member]]s of the [[Bla-Bla Gang]] roam around the city, and fight the party if interacted with. The party purchases a [[List of key items in Mother#Ticket|ticket]], in order to access a building called the [[Live House]], from either an individual nearby the building or from the city's [[department store]]. When entering the Live House, the party gets to perform on-stage. After their musical performance is over, the leader of the Bla-Bla Gang, [[Teddy]], enters the building and confronts the party, accusing them of beating up on some of his fellow gang members. After a short battle between him and the party, Teddy interrupts the match, calling it a draw, as he gets impressed by Ninten's ability to fight. He thereafter explains that he wants to avenge his dead parents, instructing them to set off toward the [[Mt. Itoi|mountains]], and then joins their party.<br />

'''Twoson''' is a town in [[EarthBound]]. It is located in the region of [[Eagleland]], being south of [[Onett]]. To the east of the town is [[Happy Happy Village]] and southeast is the town of [[Threed]]. Twoson is the hometown of [[Paula]]. Its name may be a pun on the real-life city of Tucson, Arizona.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
Twoson has various buildings, including a department store. Another attraction is the bicycle shop, where someone will also take a picture of Ness if he tries to go inside it. Polestar Preschool is the only school that can be found in the town, and it is run by [[Paula's family|Paula's parents]]. Another attraction for the city is [[Chaos Theater]], where the [[Runaway Five]] and many other bands used to perform.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
In [[EarthBound]], the route from Onett to Twoson was originally blocked by roadblocks, but Ness defeats the Onett police force, and makes [[Captain Strong]] open the road to it. When Ness arrives at the town, he goes to Polestar Preschool. Here, he learns the owners' daughter, [[Paula]], had a dream about Ness. He decides to rest in the hotel of the town. In it, Ness gets a dream to go to Paula. He goes on the journey, has Paula join him in his party, and then comes back to the town. He now goes to the Chaos Theater, and buys a ticket to see the Runaway Five perform. He also gets a backstage pass and goes backstage. He learns of the band's unhappiness with the theater, and decides to help. He goes to the theater's runner, [[Mr. Poochyfud]], and pays off the debt the band amassed to the theater. The band, ecstatic about their freedom, allows Ness and Paula to ride with them to the town of [[Threed]].<br />

'''Burglin Park''' is a location in [[EarthBound]]. It is located in the western part of [[Twoson]] and is home to the thief [[Everdred]]. Inside, [[Ness]] can but many things from different stands set up by sellers.<br />
<br />
==In EarthBound==<br />
Burglin Park plays a relatively minor role in [[EarthBound]], as it is mainly used for shopping. Upon first entering [[Twoson]], if [[the player]] chooses to wander to the edge of the park, [[Everdred]] will jump down from the top of a building, saying he will only talk after they've locked horns. Upon defeating him, he introduces himself and asks him to help find a [[Paula|missing girl]]. After [[Apple Kid]] finishes the [[List of key items in EarthBound#Pencil eraser|Pencil eraser]], him and his mouse deliver it to Ness here. Soon after, Ness returns with the girl, Paula, and Everdred rewards him with $10,000. Ness eventually uses this money to pay the [[Runaway Five]]'s debt back to [[Mr. Poochyfud]], the owner of the [[Chaos Theater]].<br />
