===Changes to Mother=== | ===Changes to Mother=== | ||
The Mother 1+2 version of Mother was more so a translation of the Earth Bound prototype for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. This can be seen through the censorship changes and the addition of the "new" (to Japanese fans) ending that was included in the unreleased English version. Moving on the overworld map is also not tile based in this version, allowing more fluid movement similar to EarthBound, and some minor changes, such as the SMAAAASH!! icon using a fixed palette, rather than one which changes depending on the enemy Ninten is currently facing. Unlike in the original Mother, the [[Eight Melodies|sing]] command is only usable in the final battle with [[Giegue]], where, in the original, it can be used in any battle as long as Ninten's party has sung the Eight Melodies to [[Queen Mary]]. | The Mother 1+2 version of Mother was more so a translation of the Earth Bound prototype for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]].

The new screen resolution caused text with a [[Wikipedia:Dakuten|dakuten]] or a [[Wikipedia:Dakuten|handakuten]] to become a part of the letter font itself, rather than a separate graphic to be placed above the text. The text window was shortened three rows because of this. Additionally, when Ninten's party is entering the lab containing [[Eve]], the screen scrolls slowly downward; a behavior not present in the original. | The new screen resolution caused text with a [[Wikipedia:Dakuten|dakuten]] or a [[Wikipedia:Dakuten|handakuten]] to become a part of the letter font itself, rather than a separate graphic to be placed above the text.

Not too many changes were made to Mother 2 other than technical issues with being ported, such as music and controls. The new, smaller screen resolution caused some issues with the HUD, and many of the windows were made smaller, with the [[Dollar|cash display]] window and [[Status|scrolling-HP]] windows taking much more noticeable changes. A few bugs, such as the Rock Candy/[[Condiments|Condiment]] glitch and the [[Shattered Man]] glitch were fixed, while a new glitch was introduced that allows [[the player]] to exit the [[Cave of the Past]] by using an [[List of miscellaneous items in EarthBound#Exit mouse|Exit mouse]] in the final room where [[Giygas]] resides. After doing this, [[Ness]]'s party are no longer robots, and appear in the entrance to the dungeon where the mouse was obtained. Doing this, the maps are already prepared for the ending, playing the music used during the prayer sequence. If the player chooses to return to Saturn Valley, they can reenter the [[Phase Distorter]]. If this is done, the events proceed mostly as normal; however, the scene in which [[Dr. Andonuts]] pulls [[Ness]] aside is skipped, instead skipping directly to the sequence in which the party is transformed into robots. | Not too many changes were made to Mother 2 other than technical issues with being ported, such as music and controls.

===Sleep Mode=== | ===Sleep Mode=== | ||
At any time while playing Mother 1+2, pressing the [[Game Boy Advance|Select]], [[Game Boy Advance|L]], and [[Game Boy Advance|R buttons]] will activate a battery-saving sleep mode feature. This can be cancelled by pressing the three buttons again. | At any time while playing Mother 1+2, pressing the [[Game Boy Advance|Select]], [[Game Boy Advance|L]], and [[Game Boy Advance|R buttons]] will activate a battery-saving sleep mode feature.

*On the game select screen, if the player has completed the Mother 2 side of the game, the text instructing the player to select a game will permanently use the [[Mr. Saturn]] font. | |||
