A Secret Rice Ball in Onett

Oh wow, that’s cool! And making me hungry somewhat.

I wonder if the developers thought anyone would ever find this stuff.

I love this kind of discovery. It’s especially interesting when an element is not just hidden, but is hidden in such a way that it couldn’t possibly be found during actual gameplay. I guess the developers include this sort of thing just to amuse themselves. Finding one makes it feel like you’re getting an exclusive peek into the development process!

Isn’t that one of the food items that drops out of a party ball occasionally?

First that hidden Dosei-san, then a hidden onigiri? I wonder what other hidden stuff there is in stages…

Gross, that onigiri has been on the ground for almost 2 years.

This makes me wonder why rice balls weren’t in M2. Strange, but ewww…. that thing was probably abusively stuck into that the dirty soil, or behind it, but seriously that thing has expired several YEARS age… Bet you $50 that Pokey hid that rice ball…

Ninji: Mother 2 was set in the United States. At least, Itoi was aiming for the American/Western setting (Dalaam doesn’t count).

Tasty.

I wonder if the Melee version still has that.

There’s so many neat things in the Mother stages of Brawl, like today for instance, I realised that you can actually “kill” the Ultimate Chimera in New Pork City, by destroying the bridge whilst it’s on it! (what happens is that it falls down, whilst roaring, it’s hilarious)
If you have the time, you can find stuff all over the place.

^^ oops, that’s me btw… ~.~

@MarioFan3

Technically, you’re not killing it. You’re just passing the buck and causing big problems to whoever is down there!

One word : LMAO

@Sora444: The onigiri is present in Melee, actually!

This screen was taken with the Dolphin emulator and its free-look mode, really hard to position the camera but you can see the onigiri on the left side of the frame, and Young Link on the top-right.

Oh, boy, a jelly donut.

So, THAT is where it is! I remember seeing it once or twice, but I could never figure out where it was.

There’s also a small food-related object on the Mushroom Kingdom I stage in Smash Bros. Melee… Of course, not EarthBound related, but just thought I’d point that out.

Guess Sakurai was hungry when he was making Melee, or something.

(Oh, and just to point this out, there’s a tiny globe on the FOURSIDE stage of Melee somewhere. It’s only been seen on ripped textures — see if anyone can find THAT. ;P )

While not Earthbound related, I thought I would mention that on the Pokemon Stadium 2 stage there is a neat little easter egg like this. During the ice portion of the stage, a cabin appears in the background. Inside the cabin is a picture of a cat. You can see it if you pause the game and look at the right angle. It is rumored to be Masahiro Sakurai’s cat.

Maybe that rice ball is like the green frog that was hidden on every page in the I-SPY books.

@PriestessPaula

NOTHING beats a Jelly filled donut!

Wow, awesome secret. I just confirmed (again) that this is indeed in Brawl. It’s inside the flower pot itself. I’ll upload a pic to Brawl Snapshots soon.

@Sora444 It does
