Item Condition

This is a loose copy of the EarthBound Player's Guide — the guide only, without any additional packaging. About half of the original scratch-and-sniff stickers are still intact. This one is very worn, and the price reflects that. Look over the photos for condition and details. It ships carefully packed and protected.

Item Description

Few strategy guides have a reputation like this one. When EarthBound arrived on the Super NES in 1995, Nintendo packed it in an oversized box with this Player's Guide inside, part of a big, strange marketing push built around the slogan "This game stinks" and scratch-and-sniff cards in magazine ads. The guide carried that joke right into its pages with its own scratch-and-sniff stickers, which made it a conversation piece from the day it was printed.

Inside, it plays as a companion to Ness's journey across Eagleland, following the road from Onett through Twoson, Threed and Fourside with full-color maps, walkthroughs, item and enemy information, and a playful voice that suits a game where you fight walking nightmares, crazed taxis and New Age Retro Hippies with a baseball bat and a yo-yo. It captures the warmth and oddness that made the game unlike any other RPG of its day.

EarthBound's journey from a slow-selling curiosity to one of the most celebrated games on the Super NES has turned anything from that original 1995 release into a prized piece of history. For fans who still hum the Onett theme, chase Mr. Saturn merch or ever wondered what the developers meant by Giygas, this guide is a direct line back to the summer when Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo first set out on their adventure.
