'''''EarthBound''''' ({{ja|MOTHER 2 ギーグの逆襲|Mazā Tsū Gīgu no Gyakushū}}, ''Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back'') is a role-playing game (RPG) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the second game in the [[EarthBound (universe)|''EarthBound'' series]], following the Famicom game ''Mother'', later released outside of Japan as ''{{s|wikibound|EarthBound Beginnings}}''. The game is only loosely connected to ''EarthBound Beginnings'', in that it shares neither the primary protagonists nor the primary setting; one of the few notable connections is Giygas, the primary antagonist of both games, here seemingly executing the revenge he swore to uphold against the planet Earth at the end of ''EarthBound Beginnings''. | '''''EarthBound''''' ({{ja|MOTHER 2 ギーグの逆襲|Mazā Tsū Gīgu no Gyakushū}}, ''Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back'') is a role-playing game (RPG) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
