EarthBound (called Mother 2 in Japan) is a role-playing game. The game can be used on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the second game in the Mother video game series.

Many people think of the game as a "sequel" to the original Mother NES video game which was only sold in Japan. However, even though the game looks the same, the story is very different.
