'''''Mother 1+2''''' is a compilation of ''{{vg|Mother}}'' and ''[[EarthBound|Mother 2]]'' developed by [[HAL Laboratory]] and [[Creatures Inc.]] (under the name of [[Ape, Inc.]]) and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It was released exclusively in Japan on June 20, 2003, with a second re-release on February 2, 2006, with a value selection label on the box art. The game was rumored by ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' to have an international release after its Japanese release, though it has not happened. The games are mostly unaltered versions of the originals, though graphical changes had to be made to fit the Game Boy Advance's small screen size and the sound is not up to par with the originals. Nothing else major has been added or changed, although the Japanese version is more or less a Japanese translation of the English version of ''[[EarthBound Beginnings]]''. The game's Japanese slogan is "Kids, grownups, and even young women! All over again!" | '''''Mother 1+2''''' is a compilation of ''{{vg|Mother}}'' and ''[[EarthBound|Mother 2]]'' developed by [[HAL Laboratory]] and [[Creatures Inc.]] (under the name of [[Ape, Inc.]]) and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]].

The ''Mother 1+2'' version of | The ''Mother 1+2'' version of ''[[EarthBound Beginnings|Mother]]'' incorporated several changes originally made in the then-unreleased English version of the game for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], including altered enemy sprites and an extended ending scene. Additionally, unlike the original, the overworld map does not use tile-based movement, allowing more fluid movement similar to ''EarthBound''. Other minor changes are also made, including the SMAAAASH!! icon, which now uses a fixed palette, rather than one which changes depending on the enemy Ninten is currently facing. Unlike in the original version, 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 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.
