This tips and tricks strategy guide is intended to help everyone's enjoyment of Earthbound, one of the best RPGs on here
It is not a walkthrough

This first tip is to free up an extra slot in your inventory

In Onett, after beating Starman Jr, make sure your inventory is full before returning Picky and Pokey to their house
After their mother swats Buzz Buzz, he gives you the Sound Stone
If your inventory is full (of cookies or orange juice), Buzz Buzz will give the Sound Stone to Tracy to look after for you
You can still collect the melodies, even though the Sound Stone isn't in your inventory
Now you have an extra inventory slot for the whole game

The next tip is a recovery tip

If you check the drawers in the Threed hospital, you will find the Insignificant Item, hang on to it
After defeating Belch in his factory and having a dip in the hot springs, take the Insignificant Item back to it's owner in Twoson hospital
He will be very grateful and give you a Magic Truffle as a reward
Now buy some ketchup packets, give them and the Magic Truffle to one player
Then have that person give the Magic Truffle to themselves to move it to the end of their inventory (or give it to them last)
Every time that person uses the Magic Truffle, it recovers 90-PP and uses up one of the ketchup packets but not the Truffle
So now you have an easy source of replenishing your PP

This next tip is a way of making plenty of money easily
quite simply, it is eggs!
There are a number of places to buy eggs during the game (and a few places to get them for free!)
They cost $12 each and sell (once they hatch into a chicken for $110
A very nice profit just for carrying an egg around for a while
Now you have an easy way to make money

I found these tricks by accident just by playing Earthbound a lot

I will add more as I continue to play and I hope you have found them helpful

Another really good tip is to use PSI Freeze and occassionally Paralysis. Also, let Jeff die while fighting the Department Store Spook.

Local Mods : sorry for the bumping up, but this guide doesn't meet the minimum 500-word requirement

janus : I'm pretty sure you can use the "Report Post" function as opposed to bumping these threads up.

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong about this?

janus : For starters, read SWTerra's post. After all, if it goes against the rules, it can technically be called spam, and thus has to be reported.

For seconds, our rules are pretty recent. Before me and Furret kicked in, the rules were pretty messy. We cannot judge guides which were made even before I registered here according to recent rules.

That being said, I'll leave it here for now, unless Furret has something else to say.

SWTerra : You're not wrong.
