A couple of small typos were fixed in later versions of the game. The two corrected pieces of dialogue were:

"He works for Venusaur in the Meadow Zone. He blocked the bride to stop anyone playing, but really he loves the Attractions to be found there!"
Correction: bride -> bridge

"Not so far away are your Empoleon?"
Correction: your -> you

EarthBound features five types of anti-piracy:

• First, it will simply check to make sure the cartridge isn't being used in a PAL console.
• Second, it will perform two SRAM checks at startup.
• Third, if the first two measures are disabled, the enemies on screen will be ramped up to ridiculous levels and you will find enemies in areas they don't belong in.
• Fourth, there's another SRAM checker that is called up six times during the game. Its purpose is unknown as of yet.
• Fifth and finally, if the game detects problems after Pokey turns off the Devil's Machine, the game will erase all of your save data and freeze, forcing you to go back to reset and find all of your work gone.

During a livestream of the game with EarthBound Central, Marcus Lindblot revealed a couple secrets of the game's localization. For example, the character of Nico from Magicant was based on Marcus' real-life daughter, who was born while he was working on the game. Nobody had known where the name Nico came from prior to this, as the character didn't have that name in the Japanese version.

There is a show called "Area 53" on WCTR. One of the callers who goes by the name of 'Kevin' says that he can launch all the nuclear missiles in the world by just whistling into a phone. This is a reference to phone phreaker Kevin Mitnick, who was tried for computer hacking in the late 1990s. During the trial, the prosecutor claimed that Kevin was so dangerous that if given his one phone call in jail he could launch all the nuclear weapons in the United States. He was also sentenced to 18 months in prison, the same amount of time as the caller on the show.

In EarthBound, all the Mr. Saturns talk using a very odd-looking font. They speak using a very strange font in Japanese, too. The Japanese Mr. Saturn font was created by Shigesato Itoi himself. In an interview around the time of MOTHER 1+2's release, he mentions that he based the font on his daughter's handwriting at the time.

Franchise: Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing creator Katsuya Eguchi has spoken about how his inspiration for the series came from a lonely point in his life when he moved over 300 miles from his home, Chiba, to work at Nintendo's Kyoto HQ. In an Edge Magazine Interview, Eguchi spoke of using this emotion to influence the original Animal Crossing.

"Animal Crossing features three themes: family, friendship and community. But the reason I wanted to investigate them was a result of being so lonely when I arrived in Kyoto! Chiba is east of Tokyo and quite a distance from Kyoto, and when I moved there I left my family and friends behind. In doing so, I realized that being close to them "being able to spend time with them, talk to them, play with them" was such a great, important thing. I wondered for a long time if there would be a way to recreate that feeling, and that was the impetus behind the original Animal Crossing."

There's a secret ending in the game. If you talk to a man atop a climbable wall in stage 3, he will offer you a chance to partake in the Battle Arena. Doing so will warp you to an arena playing a remix of Vampire Killer from Castlevania, where you fight a three bosses:
A disco robot which explodes into fish pastries when defeated.
A zombie dinosaur robot pushing a machine-gun-toting carriage with a large slime monster inside.
A brain-robot which warps around the room.

After defeating the third boss, the player gets sucked into a portal and warped to the Mesozoic Era and becomes the king of monkeys after several years pass. The credits then roll.

Even though Lulu is about nine months pregnant during the game, there is no change to her character design to reflect this. Rikku comments that "she doesn't look pregnant". In actuality, the developers didn't want to create a new model for her.

There are 2 unused abilities. No Ability and Cacophony.
No Ability is presumed to be an error handler, and is used when the game manages to find a Pokémon with an ability of ID set to 00. The term isn't used in the final game because all Pokémon were given abilities.
Cacophony is an ability similar to Soundproof, which isn't assigned any Pokémon in the game. It's assumed it was meant to be the ability for Whismur, Loudred, and Exploud, given their nature for noise-based attacks.
