Lloyd's six most treasured possessions are his theory of relativity book, his PC software, his [[wikipedia:Superman|Superman]] doll, his tool set, his eyeglasses, and his trophy from the "Pan-American Concentration Convention: Boy's Division Championship".<ref name=LloydsFavoriteThings>[[:File: | Lloyd's six most treasured possessions are his theory of relativity book, his PC software, his [[wikipedia:Superman|Superman]] doll, his tool set, his eyeglasses, and his trophy from the "Pan-American Concentration Convention: Boy's Division Championship".<ref name=LloydsFavoriteThings>[[:File:Lloyd's Favorite Things.png|Excerpt from Lloyd's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref> He found the theory of relativity book on his [[Lloyd's father|father]]'s bookshelf at the age of three, and it sparked his interest for Albert Einstein during the following years. He mainly uses his PC to play games, and he can sometimes display aggressive behavior upon losing a game or if a game starts to malfunction. The Superman doll is one of his few possessions that does not pertain to science, where it is hinted that it may be due to him being able to identify himself with Superman, as he has two roles: one as an ordinary man, and one as a hero. His tool set serves more as a memento rather than building devices, as that specific tool set is the first one he ever got, being bought by his mother. Lastly, the trophy he got at the convention was one he managed to win after having displayed an impressive memory capacity, though all that is left of the actual trophy is its stand, as he has used the copper that the trophy consisted of for his various experiments.<ref name=kenisu/><ref name=LloydsFavoriteThings/> | ||

*Some people theorize that Lloyd was Dr. Andonuts as a child, as they look similar, and are shown to hide in garbage cans. However, this is unlikely due to Dr. Andonuts being far older than Lloyd, and EarthBound taking place in 199X, only around a decade after Beginnings, which takes place in 1988. | *Some people theorize that Lloyd was Dr. Andonuts as a child, as they look similar, and are shown to hide in garbage cans.
