''Mother'' (Japanese: '''ＭＯＴＨＥＲ''', sometimes rendered in katakana as '''{{tt|マザー|Mazā}}'''), released in the United States and Europe as '''EarthBound Beginnings''' is an RPG released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] in 1989, developed by [[Ape Inc.]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It is somewhat well-known in Japan, spawning two sequels, though neither of them features the same protagonist as Mother.


The game was translated into English by Nintendo of America in 1990 and slated for a 1991 release, but marketing delays prevented the translated game, rebranded as '''Earth Bound''', from ever seeing release. The fan group Demiforce, who had been working on a translation of the game at the time, discovered that a prototype cartridge had been sold to Kenny Brooks, a game collector, and made a deal with him to release a ROM of the game to the public in 1998. The ROM featured minor alterations to get around the copy protections Nintendo had placed on it, as well as the addition of "Zero" to the title screen to differentiate it from [[EarthBound|its sequel]], which had received an English release in 1995. Since then, four other prototypes have been found, one of which resides in Nintendo of America's headquarters. <ref>[http://www.earthboundcentral.com/2009/09/earthbound-zero-prototype-info/ EarthBound Central: "EarthBound Zero Prototype Info"]</ref> However, shortly before the Nintendo World Championships 2015 on June 14, 2015, Nintendo revealed an English release, entitled '''EarthBound Beginnings''', that came out the same day for Wii U Virtual Console.

==Battle==
==Battle==
The game utilizes random encounters, similar to other early RPGS, such as the Final Fantasy series. When Ninten takes a certain number of steps, the screen will transition to the battle screen, displaying a random enemy. In battle, Ninten must defeat the enemy simply by attacking or using PSI, short for Psychic Powers. Additionally, Ninten has the option to run if the enemy is too powerful to fight. If Ninten defeats the enemy, he and any members in his party will gain EXP. Once Ninten gains a certain amount of EXP, his level increases, allowing for greater stats and new PSI powers. A high level is mandatory to finish the game, as the enemies progressively get more and more powerful as Ninten progresses.

==Status Ailments==
Status ailments are conditions that hinder the player or an enemy in battle. They can usually be cured with certain items.
*'''Asleep''' - renders the player unable to do anything.
*'''Asthema''' - renders the player unable to attack. This ailment is exclusive to Ninten.
*'''Blindness''' - decreases the accuracy of an attack.
*'''Bound''' - similar to paralysis, can only be afflicted with a rope.
*'''Cold''' - causes the player to loose 1 HP for every 8 steps in the overworld.
*'''Confusion''' - confuses the player, making them able to attack anyone, even those in their party.
*'''Faint''' - occurs when the player's HP reaches zero. The player gains a Game Over if their entire party has this ailment.
*'''Paralysis''' - renders the player unable to do anything.
*'''Poison''' - same as Cold.
*'''PSI Block''' - renders the player unable to use PSI
*'''Puzzled''' - causes the player to daydream.
*'''Stone''' - renders the player unable to do anything.
