r/earthbound

It just flows off the tongue better. It just flows! And it has this whimsical aspect to it, which I think reflects them nicely!

This is a partial translation of Mother 1 (Famicom). This patch translates most menus, all enemy names and all item names.

This romhack is designed for English players who would like to play through the original game without any of the changes introduced in Earthbound Beginnings. The translation literally only replaces Japanese text, and is therefore rough but readable.

Differences include:

• Different names for towns.
• Different Ending and other plot points are different.
• Many uncensored sprites, such as blood on enemies and religious imagery.
• No run button in this version.
• Several glitches are present in this version, such as the bread crumb glitch.
• Several maps were changed in Earthbound Beginnings, most notably in Magicant.
• Enemy placement was reworked in places for Earthbound Beginnings.
• No background effect on learning melodies in this version.
• Many more minor changes.

Known Bugs:

• The “Use”, “Eat”, “Give” and “Drop” menu are untranslated.
• Some minor graphical glitches in some cases, such as when selecting text speed.

Thanks, and enjoy!

idk what happened, i've been saving regularly but when is crashed it took me back to where it made an auto save state in chapter 2. i dont really feel like playing anymore

It was really good, and I'm incredibly happy to say with confidence "I've beaten EarthBound." I now understand why it's such a influential RPG, I also was using the walkthrough from the site Starmen.

I do have some vague intrigue in playing Beginnings and Mother 3 sooner or later, I just wanted to share with this community that I've played and enjoyed the game!

Imagine Mother 3 got officially released in West, but due some censorship, the very kind and loving Nintendo would be willing to add/remake certain things, elements or features as a fair exchange.

What would yall wish for? It can be REALLY anything, feel free to go wild or even controversial for the sake of fun discussion.
