November 19th, 2009 | MOTHER 1+2, Uncommon Knowledge
Today is the “Great American Smokeout”, which I guess means it’s also this guy’s birthday 
Incidentally, the crow had a cigarette in the Famicom version of MOTHER, but in MOTHER 1+2 it was taken away. Itoi (a notoriously heavy smoker) quit smoking around the time MOTHER 1+2 was being made. I’m guessing it’s just coincidence though, since a lot of stuff censored in EarthBound Zero was left that way for MOTHER 1+2.

As far as I know, every change made for the English version of Earthbound “Zero” except for the English-language text was incorporated into the game for Mother 1+2. In his interview with Lost Levels, the game’s English script writer, Phil Sandhop explains: “In software development, each subsequent version is usually derivative of prior versions. Once the program was changed they would have continued to use the revised program and plugged in their old text modules.”

I’ve just noticed that they even changed Ninten’s sprite. No yellow line on his shirt.

If any of you out there are trying to quit today, good on you. I quit almost a year ago and know how tough it is. Well done, Smokey the Crow!

Somebody should do a fan translation for Mother 1 and Mother 2 (EarthBound).

Happy b-day smokey! I think that with Mother 1+2 the programmers just dumped the Earthbound Zero data and then put in the Japanese text from the original. Just a theory.
