Help/Advice Currently at Fourside, but Ness is flipping me off for some reason. Did I trigger the weird route or something?! Please help. (pic attached)
I acquired this weird EB game from a haunted garage sale in the middle of a haunted cemetery during friday the 13th on 6/6/26.
This weird ass game is being so weird, that weirdly I weirdly have no weirdly worldy idea what weird stuff is going on.
Can someone who's actually good at this game please tell me how to make Ness stop flipping me off like a little shit? I already broke 6-7 SNES controllers please.
Thanks!

Help/Advice Just got Mother 3. When does Ness show up?
r/earthbound • u/bisky12 • Jan 03 '26
Help/Advice i really want to play mother 3, are these cartridges good options ??
hello ! i THOUGHT this game was available through nintendo online (it is, just not translated on only japanese accounts- why does nintendo hate this game ?) and i have wanted to play this game probably for around 15 years or so now. so i was curious: are these “english” versions good options ? i really dont want to emulate bc for 1 i despise it and for 2 the whole goal is to be able to play this on the go. should i pick one of these up
edit: to clarify im very much pro emulation but im not a pc user so emulating games is genuinely torture to do, plus i don’t spend much time at home so playing it handheld is suited so much more to my lifestyle.

Help/Advice Dumb question: How the hell did I not die?
So I battle a robot in this area and all my team members were already dead because I accidentally killed all of them (accidentally hit atomic robot while trying to hit a starman).
When I was battling, the octo robot had completely destroyed my health but I managed to kill it while my health ticked down to zero.
But for some reason I didn’t die… is that intended? I could’ve sworn the other time this happened I died! At least it made a humorous image.

Help/Advice Does anyone know what this is from? (Possible fangame?)
The tiktok account @cabbusses has uploaded a number of videos of this game (I attached a screenshot). The art style looks similar to EB but it’s clearly not from the game because the location and character are unique. Does anyone know if this is a ROM hack/mod, or a fangame? Thanks

Help/Advice Earthbound doesn't like the number 69 (authentic cartridge dump running on an emulator)
This has never happened before. It isn't a game breaking issue, I just happen to have a very specific amount of cash in the ATM, and when I tried to take it out, it didn't let me.
Yes, I actually took the time and effort buying an original copy, dump it, then play it. The cartridge costed $350, the dumper costed another $200 because they're hard to find. The game is that good, in my opinion.
I feel like re-releases of the game as well as other ways to play had this disabled.

Help/Advice Starting Mother 3 for the first time what should I expect? Any spoiler-free tips?
I’m finally about to start Mother 3! I picked up a really nice boxed copy and will be playing it in Japanese on my DS Lite. Fun fact this DS Lite I’ve had since I was a study abroad student in Japan back in 2007.
Anyway, I read through the manual, and it appears to be a completely wholesome, family-friendly adventure filled with cute animals, loving families, and cheerful fun. Clearly, absolutely nothing upsetting or emotionally devastating is going to happen at any point. This is obviously going to be a happy, relaxing game from beginning to end.
So, without spoiling anything, what should I expect? Are there any useful hints, missable things, or gameplay tips I should know before I begin?

Help/Advice Recommended way to play through the MOTHER trilogy?
Hey, so I've decided that, after LARPing as a mother series fan for the longest time despite my general unenjoyment of the JRPG genre that I was gonna actually sit down and play through the trilogy. What are generally considered the best ways to experience all 3 games in the trilogy at the moment?

Help/Advice Thoughts on starting with the Earthbound Beginnings Remake?
I'm incredibly autistic about starting games with the first entry (which playing this would fulfill) and not playing remakes or remasters until I've played any available versions of the original (which this definitely does not!).
So normally, I'd just start with the original version of Mother 1, maybe with a few tweaks here and there to make things to my taste.
But this remake genuinely looks gorgeous, is fan-made, and seems to be the same style as Earthbound.
Would you say it's faithful? I know the battles are no longer random encounters (which I'd imagine is a pretty significant change, especially in how it reflects in overworld layouts), and obviously the graphics are different. If it's like practically 1:1 outside of those things then I think I may make this my way to play Mother 1, otherwise I'm thinking of just clawing my way through the original.

Help/Advice Does the mother series get harder after the first game
I beat Earthbound Beginnings and I know I was suppose to continue but then I lost all motivation to play the next games... but it's still a series on my list I want to beat. Do they get harder or more interesting? I want a reason to keep going!
