The translation is both a combination of the official and Clyde’s translation. It’s outdated, but definitely not broken.Īnyway, I tried this patch today, and it’s pretty good. It’s definitely an outdated game but the game isn’t broken. The use of the word “broken” here bugs me. “Thank God people are continuing to find new ways to fix this broken mess of a game!” Battles progress almost twice as quickly! This hack will also feature much quicker battle text courtesy of vince94. Over 1400 lines of text have been altered to create connections with the rest of the series, improve clarity and shorten reading time. DragonDePlatino’s goal in creating this hack was to create a game easier than the original but still very challenging.Īnd last but not least, this hack uses Tomato’s official Mother 1 + 2 translation, adapted for the NES. The “Dangerous Foe” battle theme is used less often and party members will be met at a higher level. Enemies will yield slightly more exp and the encounter rate has been readjusted. There are also a lot of changes under the hood. On the other hand, tiny areas like the graveyard and Crystal Cavern have been lengthened. There is more scenery, areas are more colorful and confusing areas like Duncan’s factory have been simplified.

The overworld has been tweaked to be much less bleak and repetitive, so it’s harder to get lost. A shiny new font and title screen was added, too! The goofy enemies are goofier and the creepy enemies are creepier. Mother: 25th Anniversary Edition aims to make Mother much more enjoyable for both Earthbound fans and those playing it for the first time.Īll enemy graphics, NPC sprites and tiles are be redrawn from scratch to be more faithful to the clay models. DragonDePlatino has released a new ROM hack for EarthBound Zero that changes the game in many neat, interesting ways!
