A total of four unused objects intended for the 100th floor remained in the final version of the game. All of them did in fact appear on the 100th floor; however, they used the graphics originally used in EarthBound, while the unused versions were redrawn in Mother 3's style. WikiBound

Just A Look At Some Of The Games Nintendo Has Allowed On The eShop Rather Than The Mother Games:

Just a sad reminder of the shovelware that Nintendo would rather publish on the eShop rather than two high quality and cult-classic games. Sad, isn't it?

Magicant Is A Stage In SSB3D! Ninten & Loid sighting confirmed!

You see that dimensional rift right there? It shows scenes from the MOTHER trilogy, including one where Ninten is talking to Loid on the roof (MOTHER), and one where Ninten is talking to his dog Mick (MOTHER). I haven't heard anything about a Mother3 sighting of Lucas or anyone, but MOTHER! Could this mean we might finally get MOTHER in the west?

Stay tuned!

Update: As I thought about it, it's actually rather unlikely we'll see a Mother3 scene in the dimensional rift, as Mother3 doesn't have a Magicant location.

There are two arcade cabinets found only in the Onett Arcade, which show recognizable screens of the Donkey Kong and Space Invaders arcade games. Source:vgfacts

Did you know your Mother?

A glitch in EarthBound allows accessing one of the game's debug menus?

Did You Know Your MOTHER?

In MOTHER 3, Duster's combo sound effects are incorrectly applied due to a programming oversight, forcing multiple sounds to go unused.

Sorry about lack of trivia. Today's trivia will be posted shortly. Thank you and have a great day playing Earthbound!

MOTHER 1 Bug Fixes

Bread Crumbs

A glitch involving the use of the Bread Crumbs item was fixed for the US prototype and Mother 1+2. One of its main uses is to bypass the rock sealing Giegue's lair, which doesn't normally open until you get the eight melodies, a glitch that has been used in Tool-Assisted Speedruns (TAS) of the Japanese version.

Flea Bag

In the Japanese version, it is possible to abuse the Flea Bag item on R7038XX, dropping his offense to the point where he cannot kill EVE, and after 255 turns the battle automatically ends (as per the game code). As a result, the event for EVE dying and giving you the melody happens, but she also remains in your party – something which isn't supposed to happen, mainly because she's obscenely overpowered.
The US prototype and Mother 1+2 fixed this so that the Flea Bag cannot be used on the indestructible robots.

Did You Know Your MOTHER?

Nintendo of America had translated and originally planned to release Mother in North America, under the title Earth Bound. The localization was completed in 1990, but marketing pushed the release into Fall of 1991, and it was eventually put on indefinite hold. The localization producer and English script writer for Earth Bound, Phil Sandhop, explained, "Once the Super NES squatted in the pipeline and shoved the game aside from its appointed time, I believe that the marketing execs just decided that the game would be too expensive to produce and unsuccessful without marketing, and that's why it fell into oblivion." During localization some changes were made to the game, such as removing blood from enemy sprites (in accordance to Nintendo of America's censorship guidelines of the time) or changing town names. One of the bigger changes was greatly extending the game's ending. Source:Wikipedia

Did You Know Your MOTHER?

In MOTHER, at the northernmost pier in Ellay, there is a fisherman who will heal Ninten and his party, free of charge.

The mysterious "M.D. Seeger", who is credited with the rock guitar on the gas station screen right before the main title screen, is none other than Shigeru Miyamoto himself. But weirdest of all, apparently Miyamoto might not even realize that he had been made into this mysterious foreign guitarist. Source: Starmen.net
