List of key items in EarthBound: Difference between revisions

The '''Bicycle''' ('''じてんしゃ''' ''Bicycle'') can be obtained at the [[Punk-Sure|Twoson Bicycle Shop]]. It allows for faster travel when only [[Ness]] is in the party. If Ness is holding a [[List of battle items in EarthBound#Teddy bear|teddy bear]] or a [[List of battle items in EarthBound#Super plush bear|super plush bear]] in his inventory, he can not ride the bike. If Ness chooses to speak with the owner of the bicycle shop after Paula joins the party, he will return the bicycle.

The '''Brain stone''' ('''さとりのいし''' ''Comprehension Stone'') is in [[Poo]]'s inventory from the first time he is controlled. It prevents [[Status ailments|loss of concentration]] during battle.

A '''Contact lens''' ('''コンタクトレンズ''' ''Contact Lens'') can be found in [[Dusty Dunes Desert]]. It can be traded with a [[Penetella Giovanni|man]] in [[Fourside]] for a [[List of battle items in EarthBound#pair of dirty socks|pair of dirty socks]], as it is an important memento to him from his grandmother.

A '''Diamond''' ('''ダイヤモンド''' ''Diamond'') is obtained from [[George Montague]] on the roadway outside of [[Fourside]] after clearing out the [[Guardian Digger]]s in the [[Gold Mine]]. It is used to pay off the debt of the [[Runaway Five]] at the [[Topolla Theater]] by giving it to [[Miss Fake]]. Despite it being worth massive amounts of money, the diamond's discoverer appears to be massively disappointed that he did not find gold.

The '''Eraser eraser''' ('''こけしけしマシン''' ''[[wikipedia:Kokeshi|Kokeshi]] Eraser Machine'') is obtained from [[Apple Kid]]'s mouse at [[Dr. Andonuts]] lab. It erases the iron eraser statue blocking the underground path below [[Stonehenge]]. Unlike the [[List of key items in EarthBound#Pencil eraser|Pencil statues]] seen earlier in the game,  there is only one eraser statue in the entire game.

The '''Franklin badge''' ('''フランクリンバッジ''' ''Franklin Badge'') is given to Ness by Paula before he faces [[Mr. Carpainter]]. It reflects all [[PK Thunder|lightning based]] attacks.

[[File:HawkEyeOverworld.png|The Hawk eye's overworld sprite.]] The '''Hawk eye''' is found inside the [[Pyramid]] on a raised platform. It allows the party to see in the [[Deep Darkness]], where without it, it is completely dark. Removing it from its platform removes the enemies from the Pyramid. After it is taken, newspapers around the world claim thieves broke into the pyramid.

The '''Hieroglyph copy''' ('''ヒエログリフのうつし''' ''Hieroglyph copy'') is obtained in the [[Summers]] Museum from the museum's curator after inspecting the true hieroglyph. It teaches [[Ness]]'s party the dance required to enter the [[pyramid]] in [[Scaraba]].  

[[File:BelchBaseFlyHoney.png|Overworld sprite of a Fly Honey being manufactured in Belch's Base.]] A '''Jar of Fly Honey''' ('''はえみつ''' ''Fly Honey'') is found in a garbage can in [[Threed]] after defeating the [[Boogey Tent]] in [[Threed]]. It distracts [[Master Belch]] in battle, and is the only way to defeat him. It does not work on [[Master Barf]], however. It is made directly by flies, and is not just normal honey with flies inside it.<ref>"The zombies' leader likes Fly Honey. He makes his followers collect it. You know--bees make bee honey and flies make Fly Honey." -NPC</ref>

The '''Key to the cabin''' ('''ろうやのカギ''' ''Jail Key'') is obtained from [[Mr. Carpainter]] after defeating him. It is used to open the cell in [[Peaceful Rest Valley]] in which [[Paula]] is held.

The '''Key to the shack''' ('''たびごやのカギ''') is obtained from [[B.H. Pirkle|Mayor Pirkle]] of [[Onett]] after defeating [[Frank]]. It opens the touring entertainers' shack that leads to the [[Giant Step]] cave system.

The '''Key to the tower''' ('''とうのカギ''' ''Tower Key'') is obtained from a man at the oasis south of [[Dungeon Man]], near the exit from the [[Pyramid]]. It is needed to enter [[Dungeon Man]] himself.

The '''King banana''' ('''キングバナナ''' ''King Banana'') is an item found in the [[Monkey Cave]] after Ness gives various food items to the monkeys inside. It must be given to [[Man K. Man]] so that he will move out of the way, and permit [[Ness]] and [[Jeff]] access to [[Talah Rama]].

The '''Pak of bubble gum''' ('''フーセンガム''') can be bought in the [[Winters]] department store. Doing so causes the [[Bubble Monkey]] to join [[Jeff]]'s party, and using it later allows the Bubble Monkey to float short distances.

The '''Pencil eraser''' ('''タコけしマシン''' ''Octopus Eraser Machine'') is an invention of [[Apple Kid]]'s. It is obtained after [[Ness]] has invested in Apple Kid and returns to [[Twoson]] from [[Peaceful Rest Valley]]. It is capable of erasing pencil-shaped iron statues.

The '''Reciever phone'''('''じゅしんでんわ''') is an invention of [[Apple Kid]]'s, given to [[Ness]] by his mouse. It allows Ness to receive important calls, such as when Apple Kid has invented a new item.

'''Show tickets''' ('''チケット''') can be bought in the [[Topolla Theater]], and allow [[Ness]]'s party to see the [[Runaway Five]] or Venus's show.

The '''Signed banana''' ('''サインいりバナナ''') is a banana peel obtained from [[Venus]] with her autograph on it. It is given to [[Mr. Spoon]] in exchange for access to [[Magnet Hill]], despite him asking for the autograph to be on an eraser.

The '''Sound Stone''' ('''おとのいし''') is an important key item in [[EarthBound]]. [[Ness]] receives it from [[Buzz Buzz]] after he is mortally wounded at the hands of [[Lardna Minch]]. The Sound Stone cannot be thrown away, sold, or put into storage with [[Escargo Express]]. It records short melodies from each of the [[Your Sanctuary|Your Sanctuaries]] found throughout the game. Using it will take the player to a screen that plays all of the melodies acquired thus far in sequence. After the Sound Stone records the last notes of the melody, Ness is taken to [[Magicant]], and the item disappears permanently from his inventory.

'''Tendakraut''' ('''グミドリアン''') is a disgusting smelling food obtained from the [[Tenda tribe]]'s elder. According to the elder, all of the Tendas like it. It is exceedingly smelly, but supposedly tastes delicious. [[Ness]] gives it to a Tenda in the dinosaur cage in order to enter and be safe from the dinosaurs in the [[Lost Underworld]].

The '''Tiny ruby''' ('''ちいさなルビー''') is a small ruby that [[Poo]] has with him at the start of the game. Ness's party gives it to [[Mr. Fork]] to gain access the top room in the [[Summers|Summers museum]] in order to obtain the Hieroglyph copy. After Poo hands it to him, Mr. Fork thanks Poo for the "cookie" that he received, and sneaks it into his pocket.  

The '''Town map''' ('''まちのちず''') can be obtained in the [[Onett|Onett library]]. It can be used to find where shops and buildings are in town, as well as the party's current location, showing a small, scaled-down map when used.

The '''Wad of bills''' ('''さつたば''') is a wad of 10,000 [[dollar|dollars]] obtained from [[Everdred]] after rescuing [[Paula]]. He apparently obtained it through criminal means, as he forces [[Ness]] to take it. It cannot be spent in a shop. It is given to [[Mr. Poochyfud]], the manager of the [[Chaos Theater]] in order to pay off the [[Runaway Five]]'s debt.  

The '''Yogurt dispenser''' ('''ぐるめとうふマシン''' alternatively '''Gourmet Yogurt Machine''') is an item in [[EarthBound]]. After [[Ness]] and [[Jeff]] leave [[Moonside]], Ness gets a call from the [[Apple Kid]] who tells him that he has created a machine that can make yogurt, but the only flavor currently available is [[Trout Yogurt|trout]]. Apple Kid also tells Ness that he is sending the Yogurt Dispenser to him via [[Escargo Express]]'s Neglected Class.

'''Zombie paper''' ('''ゾンビホイホイ''') is a machine that is used to free [[Threed]] from its zombie infestation. It is obtained via a [[Mach Pizza]] [[Gonzares|deliveryman]]. It must be used on the floor of the circus tent in the middle of the town.
