[[File:Mother 2 Crash Site.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Buzz Buzz appears moments after a bright light engulfs the meteor]]The story begins when Ness is awakened by a meteor that has plummeted to the earth near his home, whereupon he proceeds to investigate the crash site. When Ness gets to the crash site he discovers a police road block and Pokey Minch, his friend and neighbor, who tells him to go home. Later, Ness is woken up again by Pokey knocking at his door, demanding help to find his brother Picky. They find him near the meteor sleeping behind a tree and wake him up. Then the three encounter an insect from the meteor named [[Buzz Buzz]] who informs Ness that he is from the future where the "universal cosmic destroyer", [[Giygas]], dominates the planet. Buzz Buzz senses great potential in Ness and instructs him to embark on a journey to seek out and record the melodies of eight "[[Your Sanctuary|sanctuaries]]," unite his own powers with the Earth's and gain the strength required to confront Giygas.

After an encounter with some hostile gang members, Ness reaches the first sanctuary on a mountain above his hometown. He then proceeds to the next town, Twoson, where he rescues a girl named Paula from the Happy Happyist Cult and discovers that [[Pokey Minch|Pokey]] (who has been the high priest of cult) is working against him. Together, Ness and Paula discover the second sanctuary. With the help of the [[Runaway Five]], a band that Ness and Paula free from debt, the two arrive in [[Threed]], where they are ambushed and captured. While in captivity, Paula sends a telepathic message to a boy named Jeff, who resides at a boarding school. Jeff responds to the message and acquires his father's [[Sky Runner]], a flying vehicle, in order to reach Threed. After crashing the Sky Runner, Jeff rescues Ness and Paula and joins their group. The three of them travel to [[Saturn Valley#In EarthBound|Saturn Valley]], a land populated by a strange race of creatures called [[Mr. Saturn]]s. There, the party learns that [[Master Belch|a monster has been kidnapping the populace]]. Ness and the group proceed to defeat the monster and reach the third sanctuary above Saturn Valley. The party then travels through the desert to reach the next city.

Upon reaching [[Fourside]], the group again helps the Runaway Five out of debt and visits a department store only to have Paula kidnapped. Ness and Jeff proceed to find her, and along the way, destroy a hallucination-projecting relic called the [[Mani-Mani Statue]]. The two boys continue their search only to discover that Pokey and the Mayor have taken Paula. However, because Ness and Jeff defeated the Evil Mani-Mani, the mayor returns to normal. Pokey escapes in the Mayor's helicopter and Paula rejoins the group. After returning to Threed, Jeff repairs the Sky Runner, and they set flight for Winters to discover the fourth sanctuary. The group then cross the ocean and arrive in Summers where Ness falls unconscious and dreams of a far-off land known as Dalaam. There, a young prince named Poo has completed his training and is instructed to join the party on their journey. The group then returns to Fourside and are able to discover the fifth sanctuary.

== Battle ==
Unlike the original ''Mother'', EarthBound has enemies appear directly in the overworld, rather than appear in random encounters. If Ness touches an enemy, he will enter the battle screen. The battle system is mainly the same as in Mother. Ness can fight the monster, use PSI, or run if the enemy is too powerful. If Ness defeats the boss of the area, the enemies will run away from Ness if he approaches them. Additionally, if Ness is at a higher level than the enemies, he can kill them instantly.

*'''Diamondization''' - Renders a party member immovable.
 
*'''Confusion''' - Causes a party member to become confused, causing them to accidentally hit members of their party.
 
*'''Homesick''' - Causes a party member to waste their turn thinking about home. This ailment can only be applied to Ness.
 
*'''Mushroomization''' - Same as Confusion.
 
*'''Nausia''' - Same as Cold, except party members loose 15-25 HP.
 
*'''Poison''' - Identical to Nausia.
 
*'''Paralysis''' - Renders a party member unable to use normal attacks.
 
*'''Possession''' - Renders a party member to be haunted by a spirit, causing them to attack members of their party.

==Virtual Console re-release==
==Virtual Console re-release==
On March 20, 2013, EarthBound was re-released in Japan for the Wii U Virtual Console. The re-release 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.
On March 20, 2013, ''EarthBound'' was re-released in Japan for the Wii U Virtual Console, and on July 18 of the same year in North America and Europe. The re-release was highly publicized, with [[Shigesato Itoi]] himself doing a live stream of playing the game. The game received some minor edits from the original SNES release: a line of text in [[Burglin Park]] was slightly tweaked, and the [[PSI]] animations were softened to reduce the risk of seizures.
 
Furthermore, in March of 2016, ''Earthbound'' was re-released again in all three regions for the New Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console service.


==Music Sampling Controversy==
==Music Sampling Controversy==
EarthBound seems to have a few samples/homages to other songs. For example, the Onett trumpet player plays Symphony No.9 Movement 2, the music that plays while fighting [[Frank]] or a Hippie bears some resemblance to the beginning of Johnny B. Goode, and the Megaton Walk sounds remarkably like a segment from The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". These samples of music caused controversy for Nintendo of America when the company tried to approve the game for digital distribution on the Wii's Virtual Console. Hirokazu Tanaka stated in an interview, "The sampling issue is a little sensitive because, well, I don't know for sure, but it sounds like that is one of the reasons EarthBound is not able to come out in America." During the Nintendo Direct announcing EarthBound's approval for the Wii U Virtual Console, Satoru Iwata mentioned the fan outcry being one of the reasons.
