===Brain Stone effect=== | |||
The [[Brain stone]]'s intended purpose was to prevent the [[Status ailments|loss of concentration]] during battle, however due to a coding mistake it actually does not serve it's intended purpose, and in fact does nothing. | |||
The way it was intended to work is that when a [[party member]] is hit with an attack that disrupts their senses, there is a code that allows the game to perform a check to see if the party member is holding a Brain Stone in their inventory. If the check finds the Brain Stone in their inventory, then the attack will fail. This is similar to how the [[Franklin Badge]] works when a party member is hit with a lightning attack: if the code detects that the party member is holding the Franklin Badge, the lightning will be reflected instead. Due to an oversight, the code that performs the check specifically for the Brain Stone does not exist at all, as such the check that detects if a party member is holding the item never activates, thus preventing it from functioning.<ref>https://forum.fangamer.com/forum/Games/Mother2/The-Brain-Stone-is-the-most-useless-item-in-EarthBound</ref> | |||
===[[Condiments|Condiment]] Glitch=== | ===[[Condiments|Condiment]] Glitch=== | ||
Also known as the Rock Candy Glitch, this glitch allows you to reuse any recovery item or Rock Candy an infinite number of times, only using the condiment. To do this, the food item must be at the bottom of the player's inventory. The player should then enter a battle and use the item. The condiment will be used, but the food item will not, allowing infinite recovery or status-enhancement. Using the Rock Candy, the player can increase their stats to incredible amounts, however if any stat becomes higher than 255, the stat will underflow to zero.

===Walk Through Walls/Staircase Glitch=== | ===Walk Through Walls/Staircase Glitch=== | ||
In EarthBound, when a player is at low {{HP|HP}} on the overworld from poisoning, they receive a message warning them that a character is low on health. If this message is shown when stepping onto or off of a staircase, the player can walk through all walls. Ness's party's movement direction is fixed at the direction in which the message appeared. To fix the glitch, the player must walk to the bottom of another staircase. This was fixed in the Mother 1+2 version of the game. <ref>[http://earthboundcentral.com/2009/02/eb-walk-through-stairs-glitch/ EarthBound Central: EB Walk Through Stairs Glitch]</ref> | In EarthBound, when a player is at low {{HP|HP}} on the overworld from poisoning, they receive a message warning them that a character is low on health.
