Frying pan

Frying pans are used as weapons in all of the Mother games, primarily in the first and second games. They are mainly used by Ana and Paula, but can also be utilized by Kumatora. Their main purpose is to increase a character's Offense.

In Mother

The frying pans in Mother are equippable items that only can be used by Ana. There is a total of three different frying pans that can be obtained throughout the game, with varying Offense increasing values.

Frying Pan

The Frying Pan (フライパン Frying Pan) is the weakest of the frying pans, increasing Ana's offense with 8 when equipped. It can be purchased for $300 in the drug store of Snowman.

Its Japanese name matches that of the Fry pan from EarthBound.

In-game description

"Ana can USE this weapon best."

Non-stick Pan

The Non-stick Pan, alternatively NonstickPan, (いいフライパン Good Frying Pan) increases Ana's offense by 16 when equipped. It can be purchased for $700 in the drug store of Youngtown.

Its Japanese name matches that of the Deluxe fry pan from EarthBound.

In-game description

"A good weapon for Ana, with no messy clean up."

Iron Skillet

The Iron Skillet, alternatively IronSkillet, (とびきりのフライパン Extraordinary Frying Pan) is Ana's best offense-affecting equipment, increasing her offense by 36. It can only be achieved through a present in the maze-like caves of Mt. Itoi. Ninten's and Teddy's most offense-increasing items, Hank's Bat and the Katana, respectively, are coincidentally also located there.

In-game description

"Ana can USE this heavy metal pan to rock strong enemies."
