"Earthbound" or "EarthBound"? Someone check the correct capitalisation please! -- Oliver P. 17:57 20 May 2003 (UTC)
- It's disputed, even Nintendo is inconsistent sometimes with "Earthbound", "Earth Bound", and "EarthBound", but "EarthBound" is the most popular spacing/capitalization by far and used the most often in Nintendo's promotional materials. It's pretty safe to say it's the "official" spelling. - furrykef (Talk at me) 13:18, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Restoring to the more popular English-language title according to Google:
- '"EarthBound" SNES' [1] (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&as_qdr=all&q=%22EarthBound%22+SNES%27&lr=lang_en) 14,100
- '"Mother II" SNES' [2] (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&as_qdr=all&q=%22Mother+II%22+SNES&btnG=Google+Search&lr=lang_en) 20

It should also be said that within the game, when the game is spoken of, it is written as EarthBound. -Vague Rant 09:02, Oct 17, 2004 (UTC)
The title is Mother 2, not Mother II.
Correct Information:
14,100 > 5,270, not winning for Mother 2, but it certainly is a lot closer than you'd make it out. -A Link to the Past 01:51, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
- The name on the box, title screen, etc. etc. always reads "Mother 2", so that is the official "spelling" of the title and therefore what should appear. - furrykef (Talk at me) 13:18, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Developer
Who developed EarthBound, and who published it?
Thanks, --85.72.26.254 14:04, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Developed by APE, published by Nintendo, if I understand correctly - furrykef (Talk at me) 13:18, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Giygas picture
Should we really have the Giygas picture so close to the top of the article? Especially because Pokey is in it. Don't you think that's a bit spoilerish? - furrykef (Talk at me) 13:18, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, that picture is totally too close to the top. Does it even really need to be in the article? Any other battle scene would be a fine substitute. Aerion//talk 20:18, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Since nobody else suggested what else to do with it, or did anything else with it, I simply removed it from the article. This makes the image an orphan, but I don't know what else to do with it. - furrykef (Talk at me) 17:10, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I am the one who added the image, and i agree with both of you that it should be remove. KeithV 18:17, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Characters picture
The second image in the article, showing some characters, currently doesn't flow well. Before, it was screwing up the table size. Now, we've fixed that by making the image precede the table, but there's a bunch of blank space, which looks ugly. Anybody got any ideas? Should we fill some of that space with text? - furrykef (Talk at me) 17:10, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I suggest something related to Characters, seeing as how it's right before the Characters section. --A Link to the Past 17:30, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
PSI and characters list
Also, do we really need to list all the PSI powers everybody has? Does anybody who hasn't played the game really care that Paula has PSI Magnet Ω? Probably not. We could condense it to just a few examples per character. - furrykef (Talk at me) 17:14, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Release Date
One thing I noticed is the page is missing release date information. Japanese Release date was August 27th 1994, however there is little information about US release date. Everybody knows that it is June 1995, but no exact date. The accepted date is June 15th, 1995. Official Nintendo Reference to June 1995. (http://starmen.net/ssbm/images/ssbm8.jpg) External source citing June 15th as release date. (http://www.ngeb.net/earthbound.shtml) That's the only source with an exact date.
It is also worth noting that Mother 1+2 was released in Japan on June 20th, 2003.
