==Story==

After he leaves the Giant Step, he is stopped by cops. The cops attempt to kill him, though he beats all but one, which chickens out. He then defeats [[Captain Strong]], who takes the place of that cop. Strong then opens up the path to [[Twoson]] for Ness. In the town, he goes through the rummage sale, and meets (and fights) [[Everdred]]. He then stops by Polestar Preschool, and finds the parents of a girl named [[Paula]]. They say that she was supposed to meet with him, receiving a dream saying something about a boy named Ness. She's gone, and Ness goes to the hotel to rest. She contacts him in a dream, asking for help. The only clue Ness is giving is water running in the distance. To find her, Ness goes east through a small cave into Peaceful Rest Valley. He then explores more, and goes through another cave. At the end is a happy place, known as [[Happy Happy Village]]. Many cultists chase Ness and he meets [[Mr. Carpainter]] and pays $50 to stay in the village and convert of Happy-Happyism. He then goes out of the cave he went through earlier, goes into a house, and sees Paula locked up. He tries to open the door, but learns that Mr. Carpainter has locked it. To help defeat Carpainter, Paula gives Ness a [[Franklin Badge]]. Ness exits the house, and sees cultists and Pokey, who was made an important person in Happy-Happyism. Being who he is, he makes the cultists and a crow fight Ness. Ness beats them, and Pokey runs away. He then faces many more cultists, and eventually Carpainter himself. To apologize, Carpainter gives Ness the key to release Paula. When he exits, he sees only 3 of the thousands of the cultists remaining, and then Pokey too. Pokey apologizes to Ness, but it was a lie. Ness then frees Paula, and she joins him to save the land. The duo then go into [[Lilliput Steps]], and take it back from [[Mondo Mole]].

==Characters==

*ESRB, the American rating system for video games, rated Earthbound for the Virtual console. This rating, however, was a mistake and Earthbound will not be released on Virtual console due to legal and copyright issues for now.

*EarthBound is somewhat infamous because of Nintendo's odd marketing campaign, which included the tagline "This game stinks!" (that was actually a reference to the included scratch-and-sniff cards). This may even have contributed to its lack of success in America.{{Cite-needed}}
