'''''EarthBound''''' (Japanese: '''ＭＯＴＨＥＲ２ ～ギーグの逆襲～''' ''Mother 2: {{tt|Gyiyg|Giygas}} Strikes Back'', occasionally rendered as '''マザー２''') is an RPG released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1995; it was developed by [[Ape Inc.]] and [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It is a sequel to the original ''{{vg|Mother}}'', later released in the US as ''EarthBound Beginnings''; rather than featuring the protagonists who appeared in ''Mother'', ''EarthBound'' features a different set. Although EarthBound initially sold poorly in the west, the game retrospectively became a commercial success being one of Nintendo's best selling re-releases of all time, taking the #3 spot of the best selling Wii U games in the month of July 2013.
'''''EarthBound''''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＭＯＴＨＥＲ２: ギーグの逆襲|マザーツー：ギーグーのぎゃくしゅ}}''' ''Mother 2: {{tt|Gyiyg|Giygas}}'s Counterattack'') is a 1994 role-playing video game developed by [[Ape]] and [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. It is a sequel to 1989's Japan-only ''[[Mother (video game)|Mother]]'', and is the second entry in the [[EarthBound (series)|''EarthBound'' series]]. Set in a fictionalized and hyperbolized version of [[Eagleland|America]], ''EarthBound'' involves four children led by the brave [[Ness]], prophesied to save the world by collecting eight melodies strewn across the world.


==Story==
After a difficult and long development period of five years, ''EarthBound'' was published in Japan and the United States. English localization was led by [[Marcus Lindblom]], who helped translate ''EarthBound'''s goofy tone. While successful in Japan, ''EarthBound'' was a commercial disappointment in the United States, where a $2 million advertising campaign was held to promote the game. Additionally, ''EarthBound'' received lukewarm reception. A Japan-exclusive sequel, ''[[Mother 3]]'', was published in 2006 for the Game Boy Advance. ''EarthBound'''s protagonist, Ness, would also be featured in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] as a playable character.
===Characters===
 
''EarthBound'' takes place on Earth in the year 199X in the country of [[Eagleland]]. Throughout the game, there are four playable characters come to compose the party in the game; [[Ness]], [[Paula]], [[Jeff]] and [[Poo]]. Ness remains the lead character, a silent protagonist, for the entirety of the story. He is a young boy from [[Onett]] and is characterized by his love for baseball. He also possesses psychic abilities strong enough to affect cosmic events. Paula is the second main character in the game. She is a young girl from [[Twoson]] where her mother runs a preschool out of their home. Like Ness, she also possesses powerful psychic abilities. Jeff, the third character to join the party, is a young boy who resides at a boarding school in the northern country of [[Winters]] in the region of [[FoggyLand]]. The son of the famed professor [[Dr. Andonuts]], Jeff is a child prodigy who can fix almost anything. The last character to be acquired is Poo. He is the oldest of the group, a residing prince from the distant land of [[Dalaam]] in the far east region of [[Chommo]]. He is presented as a powerful martial arts master.
''EarthBound'', and the ''Mother'' series as a whole, amassed a cult following of fans, mostly through Internet forums such as Starmen.net. Retrospectively, it has received acclaim, with critics highlighting its varied soundtrack, script, and tone. ''EarthBound'' was packaged in the Japan-only rerelease ''[[Mother 1+2]]'', and did not recieve an international release until 2013, being published on the Wii U Virtual Console and the New Nintendo 3DS.
