Run: Difference between revisions

'''Run''' (Japanese:'''{{tt|はしる|Hashiru}}'''<ref>Mother 1+2 manual, p.5</ref> ''Run'' and '''{{tt|にげる|Nigeru}}''' ''Flee'') is a command in the [[Mother (series)|Mother series]].

==In {{vg|Mother}}==

In the English prototype and [[Mother 1+2]], the run command will double Ninten's walking speed. The prototype also speeds up non-playable characters and other miscellaneous processes when the run command is used. In the prototype, it is accessed by using the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|B button]] by default, but can be changed to [[Nintendo Entertainment System|start]] or [[Nintendo Entertainment System|select]] as well. In the Mother 1+2 version of the game, it is accessed by holding the [[Game Boy Advance|R button]]. According to the script writer of the prototype, Phil Sandhop, the run command's out of battle usage was originally added for debugging the game, but he convinced the higher-ups at Nintendo to have it kept in the game.<ref>[http://www.lostlevels.org/200407/earth-01.shtml Lost Levels: Mother: Added Features, Enhancements, and Modifications]</ref>

In EarthBound, the run command can only be used in battle, with its out of battle usage replaced by the [[List of recovery items in EarthBound#Skip sandwich|Skip sandwich]], [[List of recovery items in EarthBound#Skip sandwich DX|Skip sandwich DX]], and the [[List of key items in EarthBound#Bicycle|Bicycle]]. In battle, the [[Status#Speed|Speed]] statistic of the fastest party member determines the chance of running away, and it is no longer usable by each individual party member; only by the leading character.
