Mother 2 - Gyiyg no Gyakushuu (Japan) ROM

 
EarthBound(known in Japan as Mother 2) is a distant sequel to the original Mother, with many characters, themes, and tunes borrowed from its predecessor. The game also includes many subtle pop-culture references: the fight against the neighborhood gangster backdropped by a song very similar to Chuck Berry's "Johnny B Goode" is one of several, as well as a band called 'The Runaway Five', that is a parody of The Blues Brothers. Many of the characters and settings are very similar, but the only explicitly returning character is Giygas, who swears revenge at the end of the first game(evidenced by EarthBound's Japanese subtitle: Gyiyg Strikes Back!). Though Mother never saw the American marketplace, its sequel for the Super Famicom/SNES(Super Nintendo Entertainment System), EarthBound, did, and stars a young psychic boy by the name of Ness. The series was commercially successful in Japan, while it was not commercially successful in the United States. In May 2008, EarthBound was added to the ESRB database, listed with an E rating on the Nintendo Wii platform. This led to speculation of a Virtual Console release, but the rating turned out to be a mistake, though so far it has not been removed.
 

Mother 2 (also known in USA as EarthBound) is Shigesato Itoi's charming, cult-hit RPG about aliens, teenagers, and psychic powers.
