'''''EarthBound Beginnings''''', also known by its Japanese name '''''Mother''''' (Japanese: '''{{tt| マザー| Mazā}}''', stylized as '''ＭＯＴＨＥＲ''') and is sometimes retroactively referred to as '''''Mother 1''''' when using the Japanese titles, is a 1989 roleplaying video game originally released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System| Famicom]]. It was developed by [[Ape Inc.]] and was published by [[Nintendo]], and is the first game in the [[EarthBound (series)|Mother series]]. Created by Japanese copywriter [[Shigesato Itoi]], ''EarthBound Beginnings'' follows the travels of four children — [[Ninten]], [[Lloyd]], [[Ana]], and [[Teddy]] — and their attempts to stop an intergalactic alien's invasion of Earth. Gameplay takes place within an overworld consisting of Americana themes and tropes, where random encounters trigger turn-based battles with menu interfaces. ''Mother'' was released to positive reception and commercial success in Japan, although some noted its difficulty. | '''''EarthBound Beginnings''''', also known by its Japanese name '''''Mother''''' (Japanese: '''{{tt| マザー| Mazā}}''', stylized as '''ＭＯＴＨＥＲ''') and is sometimes retroactively referred to as '''''Mother 1''''' when using the Japanese titles, is a 1989 roleplaying video game originally released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System| Famicom]].

In 1990, Nintendo of America localized the game under the name '''''Earth Bound''''' (stylized as '''''EARTH BOUND'''''). However, the release of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] and other difficulties resulted in the localization not being released for the NES. It was later released in 2015 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of ''EarthBound'' releasing in North America, where it was retitled as ''EarthBound Beginnings'' to distinguish it from its sequel, despite the title screen still referring to it as ''Earth Bound''. Despite this, in 1998, prototype cartridges of the localized version were discovered, and their ROMs were subsequently uploaded to the internet for fans to play. While these prototype cartridges did contain the complete localization of the game, they also contained notoriously easy to trigger copyright protection screens that could cause the game to become unplayable. Because of this, a patch was released by fans to remove these triggers. For confirmation that the patch worked, the patch also changed the title to '''''Earth Bound Zero''''', which became a common name used by fans to distinguish the game from its sequel, with some still using it even after it was officially released as ''EarthBound Beginnings''. | In 1990, Nintendo of America localized the game under the name '''''Earth Bound''''' (stylized as '''''EARTH BOUND''''').
