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]].
