EarthBound Fun Facts

During development, EarthBound's script was so large that it had to be compressed to fit onto the game cartridge. The game also features a rolling HP meter mechanic, which gives players a brief window to heal or finish battles before a character's hit points reach zero after taking a major hit, a unique feature for RPGs at the time.
In EarthBound, there's a Sword of Kings item that only has a 1 in 128 chance of dropping from a specific enemy, making it one of the game's most elusive treasures.
