In | In ''EarthBound Beginnings'', telephones are the only method of contacting [[Ninten's father]], which is vital to saving the player's progress. There are two types of phones; normal phones and payphones. Payphones require a single [[dollar]] to be used, and are generally located in [[Drug store|drugstores]] alongside the ATM, while normal telephones are only located in select locations, notably [[Ninten's house]] and [[Healer]]'s houses. The [[List of miscellaneous items in Mother#Phone Card|Phone Card]] allows for 50 free usages of the payphone before reaching the credit limit and becoming unusable. When using the phone in the healer's house in [[Snowman]] for the first time, Ninten's father will register [[the player]]'s name. The [[Mysterious Mimicker]] functions nearly identically to the telephone. | ||

Telephones in EarthBound have a somewhat expanded role from their original appearance. While functioning similarly, [[Ness]] must have registered a phone number in order to make a call, with his [[Ness's family|father]] and [[Ness's family|mother]] registered at the beginning of the game. In addition to calling his family, telephones can be used to call multiple services, such as [[Mach Pizza]] and [[Escargo Express]]. Similarly, the [[List of key items in EarthBound#Receiver phone|receiver phone]] is used to receive calls from many people, including [[Apple Kid]], [[Orange Kid]], and [[Tony]]. Similarly to in ''EarthBound Beginnings'', there are payphones and normal phones. Normal phones are now somewhat more common, appearing in hotels and various other places. | |||

There are also unique phone designs only used in specific locations: in [[Dalaam]] a man who's hair resembles a phone is used, in [[Deep Darkness]] the phone takes the appearance of a [[myna bird]], and in {{eb|Magicant}} is a lighter colored simplistic phone on a pedestal. | |||

Telephones do not appear in ''Mother 3'' due to Save Frogs taking their primary role of saving the game. Three phones, however, make a cameo appearence in the Hall of Memories in the [[Empire Porky Building]]. They cannot be interacted with as they are on the pedestal when Lucas and his team are riding the boat. | |||

[[File:SSBU Spirit Ness's Father.png|thumb|100px|The spirit [[Ness's father]] uses the telephone sprite]] | |||
The telephone sprite is used in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as the [[Spirit]] artwork for [[Ness's father]], which references how telephones are commonly used to communicate with his father throughout his journey in ''EarthBound''. In earlier versions of ''Ultimate'' the Spirit had a slightly different hue with green pixels appearing underneath the receiver. The 2.0.0 update corrected this and it now appears identical to the sprite in ''EarthBound''. | |||
