Ribbon

For information about the Magic Ribbon from Mother, see here.

The Red ribbon from EarthBound.

Ribbons (Japanese: リボン Ribbon) are equippable items in EarthBound and Mother 3. They are equipped in either the miscellaneous section in EarthBound, or on the head in Mother 3. They can only be used by Paula, Kumatora and Boney. Ribbons raise defense, and may also have other effects. A ribbon also appears in Mother, although not as an equippable item.
