==Gameplay==
The gameplay is mostly unchanged from [[EarthBound]], enemies appear on the overworld and will engage in a battle should a playable character come in contact with one. One change is that a run button has been added to speed up movement on the overworld, similar to the English and [[Mother 1+2]] release of [[EarthBound Beginnings]]. Pressing the B button puts the character in a "preparation" pose, then releasing B will slow them to run in any direction, no longer requiring the B button to be held down. Running allows players to bash into objects, for example a breakable door can be ran into and broken down. Running is disabled when a party member is unconscious.
PSI is no longer learned through battles. Instead when a party member reaches the level in which they learn a new PSI move, they will begin feeling feverish (which also disables running), then when the fever wears off they learn the PSI move.
===Battle===
The battle system is mostly the same, however there is one new feature. Each music theme has a beat, when performing a standard attack, pressing A in sync with the beat will allow players to perform a combo attack up to 16 times. Each character also has a special combo instrument.
Like EarthBound some characters also have special techniques, examples include Boney's [[Sniff]] and Duster's [[Thief Tools]].
Finally, at high enough levels the player can run into enemies and knock them away. Once knocked away they either run away or, at very high levels, will instantly be defeated like in EarthBound. Instantly beating enemies no longer reward the party EXP points.
===[[Status ailment]]s===
All status effects other than unconsciousness can be healed by all forms of [[Healing]]. However, the amount of status effects healed depends on the level of healing that is used.

*'''Crying''' - Lowers the accuracy of the affected character in battle. Wears off after the battle.
*'''Feeling strange''' - Causes party members to perform a random battle command including on other party members. Also inverts directional controls on the overworld.
*'''Engulfed in flames''' - Flames damage the character each turn. Wears off after battle.
*'''Fever''' - Disables running on the overworld, until it wears off in which the affected character learns a new PSI move. Only affects Lucas and Kumatora. Has no affect in battle.
*'''Fleas''' - Prevents characters from using PSI or other special techniques. Wears off after battle.
*'''Forgetful''' - Prevents characters from using PSI or other special techniques. Wears off after battle.
*'''Nausea''' - Prevents characters from eating.
*'''Numb''' - Prevents characters from using standard attacks. Wears off after battle.
*'''Poisoned''' - Damages the affected characters each turn and when walking on the overworld.
*'''Sleeping''' - Renders a party member or enemy unable to do anything. Wears off after battle. While an enemy is sleeping, a "heartbeat" can be heard, telling the player when to press the A button or L button to achieve extra hits more easily with a basic attack.
*'''Unconscious''' - Renders a party member unable to do anything, if all party members are unconscious a [[game over]] occurs.
====Enemy exclusive ailmemts====
These status ailments can only affect enemies.
*'''Turned around''' - Most enemies turned around will be prevented from attacking for one turn, however the [[Mecha-Turtle]] will actually benefit from this due to having weapons on its back.
*'''Jealous''' - Stops the [[Fierce Pork Trooper]] and other members of the Pigmask Army from attacking for several turns.
===Stats===
*'''HP''' (hit points) - Shows the amount of damage a party member can withstand.
*'''PP''' (psychic points) - Shows the amount of PSI a party member can use.
*'''Offense''' - Shows how powerful a party member's standard attack is.
*'''Denfense''' - Shows how much resistance a party member has against standard attacks.
*'''Speed''' - Characters with higher speed will attack sooner in battle.
*'''IQ''' - Raises the amount of damage a PSI attack will will deal.
*'''Kindness''' - A hidden stat which is increased whenever the party "feels something warm inside". It affects the amount of HP [[Lifeup]] will recover, however because there are rare and very few opportunities to raise kindness, it's affects are difficult to notice.
