== Trivia ==
*The cover features a Starman Deluxe and several pictures taken by The Camera Man.
*In the back of the Player's Guide were six scratch and sniff cards (following the "This Game Stinks" marketing campaign in North America). The last card was a mystery scent, which turned out to be pizza. There was also a fill-in sheet where you would write in your answer. If you wrote either "Pizza" or "Nintendo" and sent in the sheet to Nintendo of America, you would receive an air freshener of Gonzales, the Mach Pizza delivery man. However, due to poor sales of EarthBound initially, these air fresheners, as well as the Player's Guide, have become rare collector's items in modern times.
