-'''''EarthBound'' Universe''' ({{ja|MOTHER|Mazā}}, see below) refers to the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Smash Bros.]]'' series' collection of characters, stages, and properties that hail from [[Nintendo]]'s cult-classic trilogy RPG series titled ''EarthBound''. The second game of the series, ''EarthBound'', stars [[Ness]], a child psychic, while the third game in the series, ''MOTHER3'', stars [[Lucas]], who similarly was granted psychic powers.  The series was created by [[Shigesato Itoi]], and the franchise's symbol is the Earth, which itself is a recurring theme in the ''EarthBound'' series.
-== Franchise Description ==
-In 1989, ''MOTHER'' was released for the Famicom in Japan, which constituted an unorthodox take on the RPG genre thematically; whereas most RPGs depict knights and wizards in pseudo-medieval settings such as ''Final Fantasy'', the game is set in a suburban area in America in 1980. It depicts a young, psychically gifted boy named Ninten as a silent, blue-capped protagonist who must journey across the planet to save it from an evil race of mind-controlling extraterrestrials. Along the way he is joined by a pink-dressed psychic girl named [[Ana (Mother)|Ana]], a bespectacled and gadget-minded boy named Lloyd and a street gang leader named Teddy who is skilled in fighting abilities (although he replaces Lloyd for as long as he's in the party). Together the four meet many unusual characters and visit strange settings before ultimately confronting the leader of the aliens, the entity Giegue. The game was a smash hit in Japan, and Nintendo of America fully localized and translated it for a planned U.S. release under the name '''"EARTH BOUND"''', but the game was ultimately deemed unprofitable for a US release because the Super Nintendo Entertainment had since been released and the NES was becoming outdated, so it was canceled.
-The distant sequel to the game, ''MOTHER2'', did see an American release, however, and it received the name ''EarthBound'' in its forerunner's place. It takes place sometime after the first game and depicts Giygas (the American form of Giegue from ''MOTHER'') returning to defeat humanity. The rest of the full cast of characters are new, but extremely similar to the characters of the first game, enough that they may be considered spiritual counterparts. The main character is a young, psychically gifted boy named [[Ness]] as a silent red-capped protagonist who must journey across the world starting in the continent of Eagleland, a parody of the USA, to confront Giygas as he was instructed to by an insect-like alien named Buzz Buzz. Starting from his hometown of [[Onett]] and traveling through cities such as Twoson, Winters, and [[Fourside]], Ness is joined by a pink-dressed psychic girl named [[Paula]], a bespectacled and gadget-minded boy named [[Jeff Andonuts|Jeff]], and an oriental prince and martial arts master named [[Poo]]. The game was immensely successful in Japan, but it did not sell well in the U.S. because it was released at a time when graphically superior and highly-hyped RPG titles for the Super NES such as ''Final Fantasy 6'' (released as "3") and ''Chrono Trigger'' (widely considered to be one of the best RPGs of all time) were being released as well. However, the game has since developed one of the strongest cult followings in North America, a community which is still thriving even today. Eventually, Earthbound would be released internationally on the Wii U eShop in 2013.
-While ''EarthBound'' became a cult classic in the years after its release, it was still undeniably obscure in the gaming community by 1999. To the intrigue of the community worldwide, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] decided to include Ness as a secret playable character in 1999's ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' for Nintendo 64, and Ness and additional ''EarthBound'' properties were featured in its 2001 sequel ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. This inclusion in the popular fighting-game series may have driven ''EarthBound's'' strong cult following in the United States many years after its original release. In addition, during this time Nintendo was developing the series' third and final installment for N64DD, but the N64DD ended up being a commercial failure in Japan, so the game wound up being canceled. In 2003, a compilation of the two existing games, ''MOTHER 1 + 2'', was released in Japan for Game Boy Advance.
-After a multi-year hiatus, the third and apparently final installment in the series was finally released in Japan on April 20th, 2006. ''[[MOTHER 3]]'' for Game Boy Advance is indeed ''EarthBound 64'' retooled for the hand-held, and it was released to critical praise and success as before. It is a multi-chaptered story with far darker and more emotional elements than the previous game, although the player will no longer be controlling multiple characters in a group like the previous game. However, despite the darker story, it still retains many humorous and bizarre elements that are common to the series. The various playable characters are made to be main characters of different chapters, unlike in previous games when a foursome of children would be consistently controlled throughout. The game revolves around a boy named [[Lucas]] and the trials and tribulations of him and his family and friends as they fight against the threat of a mysterious group called the "Pig Mask Army" at his home of Nowhere Island. The game was never released outside of Japan due to the fact that the last installment didn't sell as well in the U.S as it did in Japan, and in response, ''EarthBound's'' cult fanbase has translated its ROM image entirely into English and released it on the Internet for emulation players in October 2008.
-Despite the series's presence in the [[Super Smash Bros. Series]] dating as far back as the original game on the Nintendo 64, the franchise has seen no presence in Europe outside of it's inclusion in the Super Smash Bros games until 2013, where the second game in the series; EarthBound, made it's début in Europe, via the Virtual Console service, marking the first time a game from the Mother series has reached Europe.<ref group=note>http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/earthbound-debuts-in-europe-on-wii-u/0118802</ref>
-The series is known for spectacularly defying the thematic conventions of most other Role-Playing Games, in that games take place in postmodern settings: weapons consist of baseball bats, frying pans, yo-yos, and toy guns; in-game currency is measured in American dollars; and the fact that the series is among the most bizarre, psychedelic, self-referential, and satirical game franchises ever created. With enemies ranging from evil hippies, scalding cups of coffee, and runaway pooches; with dialogue and situations serving as social commentary on modern life that sometimes breaks the fourth wall, and a race of strange little creatures called [[Mr. Saturn]] whose in-game text dialogue is presented as kindergarten scrawl, the series, at least ''EarthBound'' in particular, is known for its offhandedness. The only thing seemingly down-to-earth about it, is that its battle screen is based on the old battle screen layout of the ''Dragon Quest'' RPGs.
-== List of games in EarthBound/MOTHER franchise ==
-* EarthBound Beginnings/MOTHER (1989, NES)
-* EarthBound/MOTHER2 (1995, SNES)
-* EarthBound 64/MOTHER3 (2000, N64, CANCELLED)
-* MOTHER1+2 (2003, GBA)
-* MOTHER3 (2006, GBA)
-==In ''Super Smash Bros.''==
-''EarthBound'' is one of the "bonus franchises" in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', for it contributes one unlockable character, and a song (his victory theme). There are no stages based on ''EarthBound'' in the game (Ness has to be fought in [[Dream Land|Kirby's stage]] in order to be unlocked, possibly because both games were developed by HAL Laboratory).
-===Character===
-[[Image:SSBIconNess.png|right]]
-*'''[[Ness (SSB)|Ness]]''': A boy living in the town of [[Onett]], Ness is gifted with psychic powers. He is chosen by a little alien named Buzz Buzz to save the world from Giygas, a malevolent entity which is causing the citizens and animals of his town and others to become hostile. To do this, he must first travel to eight sanctuaries and record the eight melodies there in his Sound Stone (given to him by Buzz Buzz), then he must combine those melodies and make the "Sound Stone melody", which will give him the power of the Earth necessary to defeat Giygas at the end of the game. (The second half of the melody comprise Ness' fanfare in the ''Smash'' series.) All of Ness's Special Moves ([[PSI Magnet]], [[PK Fire]], and [[PK Thunder]]) were used by Paula, not Ness in ''EarthBound''. Ness is currently middle tier by the Smashboards community. Ness's also has a Final Smash called "PK Starstorm", but it was used only by Poo.
-===Music===
-*'''24''': The victory fanfare of [[Ness]] is a shortened, orchestrated version of the second half of the eight melodies (The full song is called "Smiles and Tears", not to be confused with the Eight Melodies from the prequel, MOTHER) that Ness collects throughout his journey at the eight "Your sanctuary" spots in EarthBound.
-==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
-''EarthBound'' is a franchise whose representation in the ''Smash'' series is quite expanded upon in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', with one character, two new stages, a new item, and many new trophies.
-===Character===
-[[Lucas]] was supposed to replace Ness in Melee, but ''[[MOTHER 3|MOTHER3]]'' had not come out, so they kept Ness.
-[[File:SSBMIconNess.png|right]]'''[[Ness (SSBM)|Ness]]''' is still the only playable ''EarthBound'' character in the game, but with a new [[PK Flash]] chargeable explosion attack as his new [[Standard Special]] move.
-===Stages===
-''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' is the first game to introduce stages for the ''EarthBound'' series.
-[[File:OnettIconSSBM.png|right|link=Eagleland: Onett]]
-*'''[[Eagleland: Onett]]''': The quaint suburban hometown of Ness, its citizens and animals become hostile under Giygas' otherwise invisible influence. The red spherical meteor on the hilltop in the background is the alien Buzz Buzz's spacecraft, and when Ness investigates it he is instructed by Buzz Buzz to go on a quest to save Onett and the world from Giygas' influence. This stage takes place on and around houses and a drug store whose balconies serve as battling platforms. The road in front of the characters on the ground has speeding cars on it, and cars zooming past characters on the ground will almost definitely KO them.
-[[File:FoursideIconSSBM.png|right|link=Eagleland: Fourside]]
-*'''[[Eagleland: Fourside]]''': The New York City-inspired urban metropolis in ''EarthBound'' manifests as a battle-on-skyscrapers-in-the-nighttime stage for ''Melee'', and it can be said that this is the spiritual successor to the [[Saffron City]] Pokémon stage from the first ''Super Smash Bros.'' The layout of the stage allows for bottomless pits in between buildings, so this is the most conceivable stage where the [[Wall jump]] technique can be used to save oneself from a fall. In addition, from time to time a [[UFO]] piloted by a henchman of Giygas called a [[Starman (EarthBound)|Starman]] (not to be confused with the ''[[Mario (universe)|Mario]]'' powerup of the same name) will materialize above the city and serve as an extremely slippery platform. This stage is banned by many tournament legal standards.
-===Item===
-''Melee'' introduced another item for the series as well:
-*'''[[Mr. Saturn]]''': A race of odd little creatures with big noses, whiskers, and the ability to talk, Mr. Saturns are encountered as friendly NPCs by Ness in ''EarthBound''. They make their home in an area of Eagleland called Saturn Valley, and when they speak the text in the game is presented as hard-to-read kindergarten scrawl, and they often mix the words "boing", "ding", and "zoom" into their speech for unknown reasons. As a ''Melee'' item, a Mr. Saturn is an intentional "dud" item. It walks around on its own, and it can be picked up and hurled at opponents for minor damage, but it can be reused this way because it does not disappear after one use. In addition, several bonuses are available based on the usage of these creatures.
-===Music===
-*'''19: MOTHER''': Music not heard in ''EarthBound'' for SNES. It is actually a combination of three tracks from the original ''MOTHER'' for Famicom, the first track being the song ''Bein' Friends'', the overworld and town song that plays when Ninten (the main protagonist of ''MOTHER'') has another character in his party, the second being the ''Eight Melodies'' that Ninten collects throughout the game, and the third being a clip from the title theme (which would later be the shared victory theme for Ness and Lucas in the third ''Super Smash Bros.''). The music also ends with an enemy encounter tune, which appears in both ''MOTHER'' and ''EarthBound''. It is heard in [[Eagleland: Onett]].
-*'''20: EarthBound''': Synthesized music heard prominently in ''EarthBound'', this is the official theme for the city of Fourside in both the game and in ''Melee''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Eagleland: Fourside]] stage, with the first quarter of EarthBound's Sound Stone song inserted at a point (the second half, incidentally, comprises [[Ness]]' victory fanfare).
-*'''35: MOTHER 2''': The song's real title is ''Pollyanna''. This quaint soft rock is a heavily extended version of a track heard in "''EarthBound''" (known as "''MOTHER 2''" in Japan) whenever [[Ness]] returns to his house during his quest. The track first appeared, however, in the original ''MOTHER'', as the typical overworld music that plays when Ninten is the only character in his own party. It also appeared in ''[[MOTHER 3]]''. It is heard as a secondary track on [[Eagleland: Onett]].
-*'''47: Ness's Victory''': The victory fanfare of [[Ness]] is a shortened orchestrated version of the second half of the "Sound Stone song" that Ness collects throughout his journey.
-===Full Trophy List===
-*[[Ness (SSBM)|Ness]]' three game trophies
-*[[Paula Polestar]]
-*[[Jeff Andonuts]]
-*[[Poo]]
-*[[Mr. Saturn]]
-*[[Starman (EarthBound)]]
-*[[UFO]]
-==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
-The content from the ''EarthBound'' franchise have been given a major representation since ''Melee'' with two playable characters and another item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
-===Characters===
-*[[Image:Icon-lucas.gif|right]]'''[[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]]''': The protagonist of ''[[MOTHER 3]]'' and the most recent hero of the series is a [[newcomer]] to ''Brawl''. Although his [[Final Smash]], as well as most of his Special Moves are similar to Ness's, Lucas' standard moveset is quite different from Ness'. One of Lucas' color swaps makes him look like his twin brother from MOTHER 3, [[Claus]].
-*[[Image:Icon-ness.gif|right]]'''[[Ness (SSBB)|Ness]]''': The protagonist of ''[[EarthBound]]'' and unofficial mascot of the ''EarthBound'' series consisting of ''MOTHER'', ''EarthBound''/''MOTHER 2'' and ''MOTHER 3'' was confirmed to be returning in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' by the opening sequence of the game and by the Dojo on February 1, 2008, retaining his old moveset.
-On the final character select screen (after all characters are unlocked), the ''EarthBound'' characters occupy the eighth column alongside the [[Fire Emblem (universe)|''Fire Emblem'']] characters. A curious fact is that both of these series were originally Japan-only RPG series that later saw at least one entry released in the West.
-====Boss====
-*[[Image:Porky.jpg|right|120px]]'''[[Porky Minch]]''': Porky appears as a boss in ''Brawl's'' [[Subspace Emissary]] mode. Porky's supposedly robotic [[Pig King Statue|statue form]], chases [[Lucas]] around [[The Ruined Zoo]]. Ness retaliates against the giant statue and uses a PK Flash to destroy it. When the statue crumbles, a mechanized spider-looking machine appears with the body of Porky in the center.
-====Assist Trophy====
-*'''[[Jeff Andonuts]]''': Jeff uses his bottle rocket launcher and launches homing missiles at all opposing characters.
-===Stages===
-*[[Image:Icon-newporkcity.gif|right]]'''[[New Pork City]]''': An enormous stage akin to Melee's [[Temple]] stage. Based on the locale from the Japan-only ''MOTHER 3'', a beast known as the [[Ultimate Chimera]] makes an appearance here.
-*[[Image:Icon-onettmelee.gif|right]]'''[[Past Stages and Melee Stages|Melee Stages]]: [[Eagleland: Onett|Onett]]''': One of the few stages known to return from the previous game, it has only some minor differences such as a few areas that differ and the addition of [[My Music]], as well as the knockback from the cars having been significantly lowered since Melee. Otherwise, it's unaltered.
-===Items===
-Two items are in the game:
-*'''[[Mr. Saturn]]''': Confirmed in a screenshot shown at the 2007 Tokyo Game Show, Mr. Saturn appears to be unchanged from his Melee appearance: minimal damage when thrown, but breaks shields within an instant.
-*'''[[Franklin Badge]]''': This equip-able item from ''EarthBound'' is an item in ''Brawl''. In the original game it could reflect electricity-based attacks back at the attacker; in ''Brawl'', it is worn by a character for a short while, making him immune to all projectile-based attacks, which get reflected back in the direction whence it came.
-===Music===
-*'''Porky's Theme''' - The theme of Porky, main villain of ''MOTHER 3'', and his Pig Mask Army. This remix is taken directly from the MOTHER 3i soundtrack (with the Log-O-Type part of the song taken from another remix in the MOTHER 3i soundtrack). It is used on the New Pork City stage.
-*'''Unfounded Revenge/Smashing Song of Praise''' - A remix and combination of the two boss battle songs of the same name from ''MOTHER 3''. It is used on the New Pork City stage.
-*'''MOTHER 3 Love Theme''' - Taken from ''MOTHER 3'', this song is a remix of the "Theme of Love" song from the ''MOTHER 3'' and is the main theme of the game. It is used on the New Pork City stage. This song also plays during Lucas's Classic Mode credits.
-*'''You Call This a Utopia?!''' - The background music of New Pork City from ''MOTHER 3'', which is another remix of Porky's Theme. It is the theme of the New Pork City stage.
-*'''Humoresque of a Little Dog''' - A whimsical song taken from the very first ''MOTHER'' game, the Drug Store theme from ''EarthBound'', and in Porky's jukebox in ''MOTHER 3''. It is used on the ''New Pork City'' stage.
-*'''Snowman''' - A redone version of a song that is used in every single ''MOTHER'' game. It is very similar to the MOTHER 3i soundtrack's version (minus the chanting and added instrument after first loop). It is used on the ''New Pork City'' stage. This song also plays during Ness's Classic Mode credits.
-*'''MOTHER (Melee)''' - Taken directly from ''Melee''. It is used on the ''Onett'' stage.
-*'''MOTHER 2 (Melee)''' - Taken directly from ''Melee''. It is used on the ''Onett'' stage.
-*'''MOTHER (EarthBound) Series Victory Theme''' - Lucas and Ness's victory theme. Taken from the title song of ''MOTHER''.
-Hackers have found unused music in the game. This series has more cut out music than any other series.

-represented in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U''. Veterans Ness and Lucas return, with Lucas returning as a [[Downloadable Character]].
-=== Characters ===
-[[File:Ness Icon SSBWU.png|75px|right]]
-*'''{{SSBWU/3DS|Ness}}''': Ness returns as an unlockable character in the Nintendo 3DS version, but back in starter form in the Wii U version. His appearance is closer to his original game; he has a thinner body and his clothing has much brighter colors. Overall, most of his moves are buffed, whether they are faster or stronger, making him more viable than the past three games. Interestingly, some of his custom moves are based from Lucas's special moves. Ness is one of the few characters to be given new voice clips.{{clear}}
-----
-[[File:Lucas Icon SSBWU.png|75px|right]]
-*'''{{SSBWU/3DS|Lucas}}''': Lucas returns as a [[Downloadable Content|downloadable character]] that is available for purchase starting in June 14th, 2015. Like Ness, he now has brighter-colored clothing and constantly wears a smile. Despite being nerfed in transition from Super Smash Bros. Brawl to ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'', he has indirect buffs from the nerfs of characters that counter him, which makes him play relatively better against the rest of the cast than in ''Brawl''.{{clear}}
-==== [[Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]] ====
-*[[Starman (EarthBound)|'''Starman''']]: A Starman will attack using PK Beam and will teleport around the stage similarly to how it moves in EarthBound. It can be reflected and absorbed by opponents, but PK Beam won't be refelected or absorbed by the fighter who summoned the Starman.
-*'''[[Jeff]]''': Jeff returns from ''Brawl'' unchanged.
-==== Common Enemies ====
-*'''Starman''': Starman acts the same way it does as an assist trophy. Unlike his assist trophy form, its PK Beam can be reflected and absorbed.
-*'''[[Devil Car]]''': The Devil Car appears an an enemy in [[Smash Run]]. Having a lot of HP, the Devil Car runs over opponents with great power.
-=== Items ===
-*'''[[Mr. Saturn]]''': Appears as an item once more unchanged.
-*'''[[Franklin Badge]]''': Appears apparently unchanged from ''Brawl''.
-=== Stages ===
-==== Nintendo 3DS Version ====
-[[File:Magicant Icon SSB3DS.png|right|100px]]
-*'''[[Magicant]]''':An unlockable stage based off of an area from both ''EarthBound Beginnings'' and ''EarthBound''. However it is based on its appearance in MOTHER, which is housed inside Queen Mary's mind, though some elements are from ''EarthBound''. A Flying Man will sometimes appear on the right side of the stage as a stage hazard. If a character touches one, it will fight along that character's side similar to an [[Assist Trophy]]. The Flying Man can be defeated by other players. Should one be defeated, another Flying Man will spawn in the same area after some time. After five Flying Men have been defeated, they will not spawn for the rest of the match. Occasionally, a "rip" in sky will open in the background and shows moments from ''EarthBound Beginnings'' and ''EarthBound''.
-==== Wii U Version ====
-[[File:Onett Icon SSBWU.png|right|100px]]
-*'''[[Onett]]''': A [[Past and Melee Stages|returning stage]] from Super Smash Bros. ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. Other than some graphical updates and two mailboxes missing, the stage is essentially the same as it appeared in ''Brawl''.
-=== Music ===
-*'''Pollyanna (I Believe in You)''': Once known as ''MOTHER2 (Melee)'', this song now has its original name. The track has been made to loop earlier on than in previous installments, effectively shortening the length of the song and eliminating its traditional ending. The song originally came from ''Melee''.
-*'''Onett''': Previously known as ''MOTHER/EarthBound Beginings (Melee)'', this song is the theme of the Onett stage, and is unchanged from ''Melee''.
-*'''Magicant / Eight Melodies (Mother)''': A peaceful remix of the music that plays in an area of the same name in ''EarthBound Beginnings''. This track plays in the stage Magicant on the Nintendo 3DS version and on Onett in the Wii U version.
-*'''Snowman''': Coming straight from Super Smash Bros. ''Brawl'', it is a remixed version of a song that has been in every ''EarthBound'' game.
-*'''Onett Theme / Winters Theme''': A remix of the Onett theme from ''EarthBound'', which then transitions into a remixed version of the Snowman theme, despite the name of the song stating that it contains the Winters theme.
-*'''Smiles and Tears''': A remix of the track by the same name used in ''EarthBound''. This is the [[Alternate music|alternate music]] for the Magicant stage in the Nintendo 3DS version and plays on Onett in the Wii U version.
-*'''Porky's Theme''': Taken directly from Super Smash Bros. ''Brawl'', and used on the Onett stage.
-*'''Unfounded Revenge / Smashing Song of Praise''': Remains unchanged from ''Brawl''. The only unlockable song from the ''EarthBound/Mother'' series in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.
-*'''Mother 3 Love Theme''': Taken directly from ''Brawl'', and used on the Onett stage.
-*'''Victory! EarthBound Series''': From ''Brawl'', a sped up version of the ''EarthBound Beginnings'' Title theme. This song is Ness's and Lucas's victory theme.

-====Music====
-Data was found in indicating that four songs from the ''EarthBound'' series, three from ''EarthBound itself'', were intended to be used in the game but ultimately did not appear. The reason for this has not been clarified, but in the case of one of the songs it may be related to a copyright issue, which is generally theorised to be the reason for the ongoing lack of a release of ''EarthBound'' on the Virtual Console.
-* Because I Love You
-* Smiles and Tears
-* Hippie Battle Medley
-===''MOTHER 3''===
-Originally, [[Lucas]], the main character of ''MOTHER 3'', was supposed to replace [[Ness]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. However, since the [[Nintendo 64]] version of the game was canceled, Ness remained. However, Lucas is in the next game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
-[[Porky Minch]]'s design from this game is also used as a boss in [[The Subspace Emissary]], although he does not appear as frail as he does in ''MOTHER 3''. Also, in The Subspace Emissary (and to a lesser extent [[New Pork City]]), the Porky Statue (called the King Statue during battle) makes an appearance.

-====Stages====
-[[New Pork City]] from Chapter 8 appears as a level in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It is a large sprawling stage (similar to in the actual game) that is actually just outside an accurate replica of New Pork City from ''MOTHER 3''. The Ultimate Chimera and flying Limousine occasionally turn up at some points during brawls.
-====Music====
-''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' contains various themes originating from ''MOTHER 3''.
-<!-- NOTE: If the song does not ORIGINATE from MOTHER 3, it shouldn't be on this list. -->

-*Mother 3 Love Theme [Mom's Hometown]
