'''Bread Crumbs''' ({{tt|'''パンくず'''|Pankuzu}} ''Bread Crumbs''), or simply '''Crumbs''', is an item which appears in one's inventory if [[the player]] has chosen to use a [[Bread]], rather than eating it. If one uses a Bread, it will be rendered into crumbs and will be successively dropped as [[Ninten]] and his friends walk around, in order to leave a trail. If the crumbs then get used, it will transport Ninten to the origin of the bread trail, and it thus acts as an effective way to escape from tough or confusing areas.

The '''Dentures''' ({{tt|'''いれば'''|Ireba}} ''Dentures'') can be found under a sign to the west of the only building which is present in the [[Mislay Triangle]]. Inside of the building lives a man, who according to a legend among the citizens of [[Reindeer]], has not had a [[Status ailment|cold]] during the last 300 years. When first met, he talks incomprehensively, and Ninten must give him the Dentures to allow him to be understood. This will result in him telling Ninten about his secret of avoiding colds, which is revealed to be thanks to the use of [[List of recovery items in Mother#Mouthwash|Mouthwash]]. He will then fill the entire inventory of Ninten and his friends with Mouthwash, which later on can be purchased from a young boy in the house for {{$}}10 each.

The '''FrndshpRing''' ({{tt|'''ゆうじょうのゆびわ'''|Yūjou no Yubiwa}} ''Friendship Ring'') is an item that only appears in the Japanese version of [[EarthBound Beginnings]].<ref>[[:File:FrndshpRingRef.png|FrndshpRing's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref> It is completely useless, having no function whatsoever, and was replaced by the [[List of miscellaneous items in Mother#Repel Ring|Repel Ring]] in the English prototype and the [[Mother 1+2]] port.

The '''Last Weapon''' ({{tt|'''さいしゅうへいき'''|Saishū Heiki}} ''Final Weapon'') can be purchased from the [[Mysterious Teacher]] for $1048, after [[Lloyd]] has joined Ninten's party. It is a gag item, as it tries to make the player think it's an item used in battle, but it only shows the text "You can't now.". When used on the field, it shows the text "If that is true, push the POWER off, but remember to hold in RESET!". Its only purpose is to tell [[the player]] that they can turn off their [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] if they want the ultimate way to not have to fight any enemies.

The '''Map''' ({{tt|'''ちず'''|Chizu}} ''Map'') only exists as an obtainable item in the Japanese [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] version of [[EarthBound Beginnings]]. It can be found in a [[present]] in the basement of [[Ninten's house]], where it is replaced by [[Bread]] in the English prototype and [[Mother 1+2]] port. When used, it displays a scaled down, two-dimensional picture of the [[America|overworld]] and marks the current location of [[Ninten]] and his friends. It cannot be used inside of buildings and similarly isolated locations, nor can it be used while being in {{ebb|Magicant}}. In the prototype and [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Mother 1+2|port]], the map can more easily be accessed by simply pressing the Start button. Nonetheless, it still remains as an item in the game's coding in these versions, albeit unused.<ref name=LostLevels>[http://www.lostlevels.org/200407/earth-04.shtml Lost Levels: Mother: Unused Text]</ref> When the item is used in the [[Mother 1+2]] version of the game, a short delay occurs before the map is shown.

The '''Ocarina''' ({{tt|'''きぼうのオカリナ'''|Kibou no Okarina}} ''Ocarina of Hope''), alternatively '''Ocarina of Hope''', can be received from a citizen of Magicant, who resides in a building to the east of the entrance point, after talking to him. The ocarina is used to play the [[Eight Melodies|melodies]] which [[Ninten]]'s party currently has learned. A person in a building in the northwestern area of Magicant will mention that he used to run a musical store there, but that the ocarina he ordered never arrived, and that he as a result has given up with maintaining the business, possibly referring to the one Ninten obtains.

The '''Onyx Hook''' ({{tt|'''めのうのつりばり'''|Menou no Tsuribari}} ''Agate Fish Hook'') is first received after beating the [[The Fish]] in {{ebb|Magicant}}'s [[Magicant Underground|Underground]]. It can be used anywhere to teleport Ninten and his friends straight to {{ebb|Magicant}}, which otherwise only can be reached by certain stones engraved with "XX". However, it cannot be used to leave {{ebb|Magicant}}, which forces [[Ninten]] to go through the underground tunnel again to leave Magicant before he or [[Ana]] learns [[Teleport]]. It is considered a very useful item, despite being optional. When [[Eve]] is in the party, this item cannot be used.

The '''Real Rocket''' ({{tt|'''ロケット (ほんもの)'''|Roketto (Honmono)}} ''Rocket (Real)'') is a gag item, which can be bought from the [[Mysterious Teacher]] in [[Twinkle Elementary School]] for {{$}}3485. Immediately after it has been bought, a sound resembling the takeoff of an aircraft can be heard, followed by nothing else virtually happening, which generally makes it considered to be a waste of money to buy it. Also, because of this, the item does not have any in-game description, as it never shows up in one's inventory.

'''Red Weed''' ({{tt|'''あかいくさ'''|Akai Kusa}} ''Red Grass'') are plants that can be found throughout {{ebb|Magicant}}, and can be distinguished by their distinctive red color, in contrast to the other grass-like plants which are colored green. To obtain them, they simply need to be [[check]]ed. There is a total of three red-colored plants, and every plant holds onto an infinite amount of Red Weed. In their current state, they do not have any real use, but when taken to [[Queen Mary]]'s Fountain to in western Magicant, they will transform into [[Magic Herbs]], and be able to replenish 30 [[Status#HP|HP]] each.

The '''Repel Ring''' ({{tt|'''まよけのゆびわ'''|Mayoke no Yubiwa}} ''Amulet Ring'') can be purchased for {{$}}160 in the eastmost shop in {{ebb|Magicant}}, and the department store of [[Merrysville]]. When used, it will prevent Ninten and his friends from encountering enemies that are weak in comparison to their current [[Status|stats]]. It will after a certain amount of time lose its powers, and must be rebought in order to reattain the ability. The [[List of miscellaneous items in Mother#FrndshpRing|FrndshpRing]] was replaced by this item in the English prototype version and the [[Mother 1+2]] port.

The '''Telephone Card''' ({{tt|'''テレホンカード'''|Terefon Kādo}} ''Telephone Card''), alternatively '''Phone Card''', can be used on all phones which require payment, making the phone calls free. The Telephone Card is obtained by taking a questionnaire from a person in [[Merrysville]], who resides in between the town's [[Hotel|hotel]] and [[department store]]. The card is charged with {{$}}50, and as it costs $1 to make a call, it can be used 50 times before reaching the credit limit.

The '''TimeMachine''' ({{tt|'''タイムマシン'''|Taimu Mashin}} ''Time Machine'') is an item that only appears in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] version of [[EarthBound Beginnings]], where it can be purchased for {{$}}2775 from the [[Mysterious Teacher]] in [[Twinkle Elementary School]].<ref>[[:File:TimeMachineRef.png|TimeMachine's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref> When it is bought, the Mysterious Teacher will explain how it is used, and tell [[Ninten]]'s party not to press a certain button. The teacher then accidentally presses it, and Ninten's party is transported to a destroyed version of the Mysterious Teacher's room seen after [[Lloyd]] blows it up.
