In [[EarthBound Beginnings]], 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 [[EarthBound Beginnings]], such as the [[Dragon]], the game will default to the talk command. | ||

In [[Mother 3]], it was replaced with [[Boney]]'s [[Boney#Special abilities|Sniff]]. | ||
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. As [[Flint]] was shown using it, it is likely that the Check command was planned to be available to all playable characters, as in Mother. | 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.
