EarthBound, known as Mother 2 in Japan, is a 1994 Japanese role-playing video game co-developed by Ape Inc. and HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game console. As Ness and his party of four, the player travels the world to collect melodies en route to defeating the evil alien force Giygas. It is the second game of the Mother series, and the only one to be released in the English language until its predecessor was released under the name EarthBound Beginnings in 2015 as part of Wii U's Virtual Console.EarthBound was released in Japan on August 27, 1994, and in North America on June 5, 1995.
The game had a lengthy development period which spanned five years. Its making involved a number of Japanese luminaries, including writer Shigesato Itoi, musician/songwriter Keiichi Suzuki, sound designer Hirokazu Tanaka, and future Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. Themed around an idiosyncratic portrayal of Americana and Western culture, it subverted popular role-playing game traditions by featuring a real world setting while parodying numerous staples of the genre. Itoi, who directed the game, wanted it to reach non-gamers with its intentionally goofy tone. It was heavily marketed upon release via a promotional campaign which sardonically proclaimed "this game stinks".

I'd been to church on Sunday, and I'd been in jail
And I put my family through livin' hell
And I'd been a heavy cross to bear
On the wings of mama's prayers
I spent her last dollar on somethin' bad for me
I finally hit rock bottom, couldn't get up on my knees
But the strength came to lift me up from there
On the wings of mama's prayers
I see her by the bed with her Bible open wide
Lookin' up at Heaven with tears in her eyes
She knew when I was troubled, she knew when I was scared
And I found salvation on the wings of mama's prayers
I was lost in the darkness searchin' for the end
But the light of mama's love led me back again
An' if I've got a place in Heaven, I'll get there
On the wings of mama's prayers
I see her by the bed with her Bible open wide
Lookin' up at Heaven with tears in her eyes
She knew when I was troubled, she knew when I was scared
And I found salvation on the wings of mama's prayers
