User Rating: 8.5 | Mother NES

This game is the first one on the earthbound series. Some people in my country call it the "phantom" series, because Nintendo didn´t release Mother (earthbound zero) nor Mother 3 (earthbound 2).
This game meets the RPG minimum requirements, adding a total new concept, where enemies are Lamps or cars, even Aliens!
The game music is good, the most popular is Pollyanna, also know as the Mother original theme. You can hear Pollyanna on SSBM, first unlocking Sound Test and then holding R plus L before battle starts on Onett.
Some people feels that this game is wierd, well, it is! But in a good way...
