EarthBound: The War Against Giygas! (MOTHER 2 ギーグの逆襲, Mazā Tsū Gīgu no Gyakushū, lit. "Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back") is a role-playing video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. While it is known as EarthBound in the United States, it is the second game in the Mother series. It was not released in Europe.
EarthBound is a sequel to the original Mother, a Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System title released only in Japan. Mother and EarthBound are not directly connected. One of the only connections plotwise between the two is Giygas, the primary antagonist in both games, who was also significantly changed between the first and second games.
Super Smash Bros. Series
The main character of EarthBound, Ness, was an unlockable character in the first Super Smash Bros.. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, he returned as a starter character, and Mr. Saturn became an item in that game. Mr. Saturn is confirmed to be in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Lucas is also confirmed to be in Brawl. Ness will return for Brawl.
In addition, the Franklin Badge, which was an obtainable item in this game, appears as an Item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
A demo of Mother 2 is also in the Japanese Brawl's Masterpieces section. For some reason, while it is mentioned in the Japanese update pertaining to Masterpieces mode, it is absent from the English version of the same update. Thus, it is unknown if the English Brawl will contain EarthBound.
