EarthBound (game)

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. It is currently unknown is either of the two will return, or is anything new from EarthBound will be introduced.

In addition, the Franklin Badge, which was an obtainable item in this game, appears as an Item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
