==In {{vg|Mother}}==
'''Baseball bats''' equippable items in the ''{{se|EarthBound}}'' series. They are used as weapons in all of the ''{{se|EarthBound}}'' games, primarily in the {{vg|Mother|first}} and [[EarthBound|second]] games.
The baseball bats in Mother are [[List of equippable items in Mother|equippable items]] that only are usable by [[Ninten]]. There is a total of four different bats that can be obtained throughout the game, with varying [[Status#Offense|Offense]] increasing values.


===Plastic Bat===
==Usage==
[[File:PlasticBatEncyclopedia.png|120px|right]]
When equipped, baseball bats increase the [[Status#Offense|Offense]] of the holder by a varying amount, although some bats have additional effects. Baseball bats are the signiture weapons of [[Ninten]] and [[Ness]], who are the main protagonists of the first two games. In ''[[Mother 3]]'' they are replaced with [[Sticks]] which serve a similar purpose as the signiture weapon of [[Lucas]], however there are two bats that are still present in the game.
The '''Plastic Bat''' ('''{{tt|ボロのバット|Boro no Batto}}''' ''Worn-Out Bat'') is the weakest offense-affecting equipment in the game, only increasing Ninten's [[Status#Offense|offense]] by 3. It can be purchased for {{$}}80 in the [[department store]] of [[Podunk]]; it can otherwise be found in [[present]]s in the basement of [[Ninten's house]], in the northwestern portion of [[Sweet's Little Factory]], and in the second classroom from the right on the second floor of [[Twinkle Elementary School]].


Its Japanese name matches that of the [[#Cracked bat|Cracked bat]] from EarthBound.

His bat is not designed after a particular bat in the ''EarthBound'' series, it appears as a wooden baseball bat that has the words "Nett sports" inscribed on it.

While not listed as an ''EarthBound'' series item, the Home-Run Bat is often said to have been based off of the bats from the ''EarthBound'' series. The Home-Run Bat acts as a normal battering item when used normally, however when using a forward smash while holding it, the player will perform a short wind-up and then swing. Because the wind-up often causes the player to miss an opponent, it is very difficult to hit an opponent this way. However when using the Home-Run Bat this way, it deals massive knockback to an opponent hit with it, making it an almost guaranteed one-hit KO attack. Much like Ness's bat, the tip is the strongest point and the handle is the weakest point.
It is often speculated that the one-hit KO smash attack from the Home-Run Bat is based off of when the characters land a {{smashhit}} hit, in particular Ninten and Ness as they primarily use baseball bats, as a {{smashhit}} is much more powerful than a regular hit. In addition, it is also possible that the difficulty in landing the one-hit KO hit with the Home-Run Bat is based off of the Casey bat, as the Casey bat's low accuracy causes the player to miss most of the time, however it also has the highest offense increasing value of all the bats in the game, allowing it to one-hit KO enemies often.

In the Super Smash Bros. series

Ness's bat

In the Super Smash Bros. series, Ness uses a baseball bat for his forward smash.

Ness uses a baseball bat for his forward smash in all six of the Super Smash Bros. games. His bat is not designed after a particular bat in the EarthBound series, it appears as a wooden baseball bat that has the words "Nett sports" inscribed on it. Throughout the series the tip of his bat is the strongest part, where it deals the most damage and knockback compared to other places, whereas the weakest part is towards the handle. It also has a unique property where it will reflect projectiles with correct timing.

Home-Run Bat

The Home-Run Bat as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

While not listed as an EarthBound series item, the Home-Run Bat is often said to have been based off of the bats from the EarthBound series. The Home-Run Bat acts as a normal battering item when used normally, however when using a forward smash while holding it, the player will perform a short wind-up and then swing. Because the wind-up often causes the player to miss an opponent, it is very difficult to hit an opponent this way. However when using the Home-Run Bat this way, it deals massive knockback to an opponent hit with it, making it an almost guaranteed one-hit KO attack. Much like Ness's bat, the tip is the strongest point and the handle is the weakest point.

It is often speculated that the one-hit KO smash attack from the Home-Run Bat is based off of when the characters land a Smaaaaash! hit, in particular Ninten and Ness as they primarily use baseball bats, as a Smaaaaash! is much more powerful than a regular hit. In addition, it is also possible that the difficulty in landing the one-hit KO hit with the Home-Run Bat is based off of the Casey bat, as the Casey bat's low accuracy causes the player to miss most of the time, however it also has the highest offense increasing value of all the bats in the game, allowing it to one-hit KO enemies often.
