Paralysis (status ailment)

Paralysis (also called numbness in some cases interchangeably) is a status ailment that appears in EarthBound Beginnings, EarthBound, and Mother 3.
In EarthBound Beginnings, Paralysis causes the affected character to not be able to do anything during battle. If the whole party is paralyzed, the battle is lost. Paralysis is cured when either the battle is over or when Healing β is used on the paralyzed character.
In EarthBound, Paralysis causes the affected character to not be able to use their ordinary attack command, which is replaced with "Do nothing", or use any items. They are still able to use PSI abilities and miscellaneous commands such as Pray or Spy. Healers, Healing γ and Ω, Cup of Lifenoodles, Horn of Life, and Secret Herb can cure paralysis. You can also get paralysis cured by Dr Saturn at the first house on the right when you get to Saturn Valley.
In Mother 3, Paralysis has a chance to prevent the affected character from being able to use their ordinary attack command. In addition to wearing off after battle in this game, it can be cured with Healing or using an Anti-Paralysis.
