Shrooom!

Shrooom! is the fourth Sanctuary Boss in EarthBound. It guards the Rainy Circle, the fourth Your Sanctuary. Shrooom! does not have many damaging attacks, so it mostly relies on causing status conditions, such as the dangerous Mushroomization. Once Shrooom! is defeated, Ness and his friends may enter the Rainy Circle and record the fourth piece of the melody on the Sound Stone.
Jeff passes through Shrooom!'s cave on his way to join up with Ness and Paula in Threed, but he is unable to use the power of the Your Sanctuaries and therefore cannot fight Shrooom!.
The EarthBound Player's Guide erroneously states that Shrooom! is accompanied in battle by "Walking Mushrooms" when in fact it is fought alone.

Shyness book

The Overcoming Shyness book, or simply the Shyness Book, is a key item in EarthBound which can help people overcome their shyness. It is used by the Tenda tribe. 
==Usage==
Ness gives the book to the Tenda elder who reads it, then once read, it cures the Tenda tribe's shyness. Before giving it to the Tendas, it can be used to the quiet NPCs (excluding the one wearing a mask who would overcome his shyness by the time the party comes to retrieve the book) and to the librarian lady to give special dialogue as well. Additionally, after beating Giygas, the Tenda elder would then return the book to Ness since the tribe does not need it anymore. He can then return it to the librarian lady where she would give him a kiss, which is noticed by the yellow-dressed girl outside of the library.
The book also makes an appearance in Mother 3, on a shelf in the Chimera Laboratory, though it cannot be obtained. The book's full title is "Overcoming Shyness".

Skip sandwich glitch

The Skip sandwich glitch is a glitch in EarthBound where it is possible for the player to clip through certain parts of a cliff while under the effects of a Skip sandwich, and skip parts of the game. In speedruns, this glitch is commonly used to skip the entirety of Twoson giving the glitch its alternative name, the Twoson skip glitch.
==Cause==
EarthBound's maps are divided into tiles. The game's programming designates each tile as either passable or impassable, with all cliffs being impassable. Because of the jagged shape of cliffs, they sometimes form 1-tile wide "nooks" where 3 of the 4 adjacent tiles are impassable. If this nook is diagonally adjacent to a passable tile on the other side of the cliff, it's possible for Ness to squeeze into this nook, and then cross over into the diagonal tile.
==Executing the glitch==
A cliff cannot be crossed by walking diagonally alone; it requires a combination of horizontal and vertical movements. It is best performed when under the effects of the Skip sandwich. The best way is to move in various directions, such as right, left, and down to squeeze through the nook. Failure can occur if you walk too far to the left before turning down because this can cause Ness to get pushed out of the nook or off the cliff. The nook itself can be entered with diagonal movement, but it requires precise positioning.
==Uses==
The Skip sandwich glitch is a simple way to go out of bounds. The glitch is commonly used by speedrunners to skip early segments of the game, most notably Twoson. It can also be used to go out of bounds in Onett to access a specific corner to perform the Check area glitch.
===Skipping Twoson===
One of the most well-known uses of the Skip sandwich glitch is skipping Twoson. The set of cliffs south of the bus station can be crossed to access a road segment that connects Threed and Dusty Dunes Desert (see the game map for reference). From here, entering the haunted tunnel leading to Threed will cause the ghosts to carry Ness into Threed because this tunnel is normally intended to block progress into Dusty Dunes Desert until Master Belch is defeated. While skipping Twoson also skips rescuing Paula in Happy Happy Village, the game automatically adds Paula to your party when Jeff reaches Threed. However, all party members will be quite under leveled due to the player skipping a major part of the game.
===Check area glitch in Onett===
This glitch can also be used to access the northeast corner in Onett where the player can perform the check area glitch. This is one example of the benefits of using this glitch as opposed to the walk through walls glitch as the player can still check the corner to perform the glitch.

Sky Runner

The Sky Runner (Japanese: スカイウォーカー Sky Walker) is an invention of Dr. Andonuts used for transportation. It first appeared in EarthBound when Jeff had to rescue Ness and Paula in Threed. It resembles a round UFO, and it has a gray coloring. The device also has legs for landing, which have failed twice.
==In EarthBound==
The Sky Runner first appears in EarthBound after Jeff gets to Dr. Andonut's lab. He uses it to travel to Threed to rescue Ness and Paula. On the way, he can see many areas that the player has not seen yet, such as Fourside, and the Dusty Dunes Desert. Jeff circles around Threed searching for Ness and Paula. Eventually he finds their location, but unfortunately, the Sky Runner plummets to the ground, into the room the two were trapped in, and was heavily damaged.
After returning to Threed after saving Paula in Fourside, the heroes return to the crash site and find the Sky Runner repaired as thanks for saving the town earlier in the game. They use the newly refurbished Sky Runner to return to Winters to have Dr. Andonuts modify it to fly to Summers. Afterward, they fly to Summers and once again, crash the Sky Runner onto the beach. Returning to the site will show that the rubble isn't there anymore, having some fans believe it washed away into the ocean.
==Super Smash Bros.==
The Sky Runner makes a minor cameo on the stage of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Here, it acts as a temporary platform.
===Trophy description===
:A flying machine designed by Dr. Andonuts, it is given to Jeff to travel to Threed. It promptly crash-lands, rendering it temporarily out of service. On the Magicant stage, it can sometimes be seen floating above the clouds before it suddenly zooms back into the sky.
==Trivia==
*In Mother 2, the Sky Runner was called the Sky Walker. This was changed in the localization due to copyright issues.
*In Mother 3, the song A Flying Whatchamacallit sounds very similar to the Sky Runner's theme, and also plays during flight scenes.

Sky Yddet

The Sky Yddet is an enemy in EarthBound Beginnings, found in . It is a tougher version of the Raeb Yddet, and can only be summoned by it in battles where the Raeb Yddet is aligned to the side of the screen. It can attack, waste turns grinning and bearing it, or use a last blow attack. The last blow attack is what makes it a dangerous encounter: the attack defeats itself and does about 200 HP of damage to one party member. For the first time they are encountered, Ninten is most likely alone and has far less than 200 HP, which can be an instant game over if not defeated quickly or escaping successfully from the battle.

The Slingshot ( Slingshot) is one of two equippable items in the game that can be used by any party member, the other one being the Boomerang. The Slingshot increases its user's Offense by 7 when equipped, and can be purchased for $120 on the second floor of the department store of Podunk. It can otherwise be obtained from a present in the second classroom from the right on the second floor of Twinkle Elementary School. Being an item which is obtainable rather early in the game, it is generally considered to provide with pretty poor offense.
====In-game description====
"A handy weapon, that anyone can USE."

Slitherhen

Sliterhen is an enemy in Mother 3. Slitherhens are snake/chicken hybrids. They first appear near Tazmily Village, where they are plentiful. They attack the party by coiling around the target using their snake part or by pecking them by using their chicken part. Their name is a portmanteau of the word slither, which usually relates to how snakes move, and hen.

Smash hit

A Smash hit (stylized as ) is an event that multiplies a regular attack's damage output. It is the EarthBound series's equivalent to a critical hit, a common feature in role-playing games. This can only occur when using a character's normal attack, such as Bash. Upon landing one, the game displays on the screen as the damage is being dealt, while the screen flashes green (red when an enemy lands a smash hit from EarthBound onwards).
==Overview==
Smash hits are determined by the character's Fight stat (in EarthBound Beginnings) or Guts stat (in EarthBound and Mother 3). The damage that is dealt is not consistent, rarely it can do less than 2× normal damage, but oftentimes a Smash hit can do nearly triple the average damage.
==Smash hit probability==
===In EarthBound Beginnings===
Smash hits are determined by the Fight stat of a character, in other words, the higher the Fight stat the higher the chances of landing a smash hit. They essentially deal normal damage except that the target's Defense is ignored. A well-known glitch in the Famicom version is that instead of the being its normal color, it might accidentally use an enemy's color palette (e.g. a purple against a Mr. Bat).
===In EarthBound===
(Information courtesy of Starmen.net)
With the Bash command or Bash-like enemy/NPC attacks, the probability of a smash hit is equal to guts/500 or 1/20, whichever is greater. If a smash hit is successful, it deals 4×(Offense-Defense) damage. This damage is still affected by defending if applicable. If the target had a physical shield, it will be depleted. When a character in the player's party deals such an attack, the screen flashes green twice and appears in the text box on the upper side of the screen. If a character from the player's party receives a Smash hit, the screen will instead flash red once. Shoot weapons are incapable of Smash hits in the SNES and Super Famicom version which means that Jeff usually can't deal one. However, in what is most likely a bug or oversight, Shoot attacks can deal Smash hits in the Mother 1+2 port.
===In Mother 3===
Smash hits in Mother 3 work the same way that they do in EarthBound, except that it appears above the victim's sprite if dealt to an enemy, and above the character's HP meter if dealt to the player's party. Flint's Power Smash Skill is the only non-bashing attack for the playable characters that can enemies; this skill always results in a if it hits.
==In other games==
===In the Super Smash Bros. series===
When a Starman Assist Trophy (in Smash 4 and Ultimate) is defeated, it is sent flying with a graphic appearing. The graphic also appears if the Smash Run version of Starman is hit by its reflected PK Beam, which will defeat it in one hit.
Smilin' Sphere

The Smilin' Sphere is an enemy in EarthBound, which only appears in the Dusty Dunes Desert. As its name implies, it resembles a light brown sphere in possession of a mouth, which appears to be smiling. It explodes upon death, so many consider it wise to defeat it last when battling a group of enemies to prevent unnecessary damage from being inflicted to the party members. It either appears by itself, or with a Bad Buffalo, a Crested Booka, a Skelpion, a Cute Li'l UFO and a Crested Booka, or a Cute Li'l UFO and a Skelpion. Its improved counterpart is the Uncontrollable Sphere.

Snake

:This article is about the enemy in EarthBound Beginnings. For other uses, see Snake (disambiguation).
The Snake is an enemy in EarthBound Beginnings. It is one of the earliest enemies which Ninten encounters, as it can found right outside of his house. It resembles an ordinary snake with blue coloring and with its fangs and tongue visible. It does not pose much of a threat, as it doesn't possess any special attacks or abilities; nor is it a good experience source as it only gives two points in total when defeated. However, once defeated, it'll occasionally leave a Magic Herb behind. 
It seems to be the precursor to Coil Snake, as both are very weak and can be fought right outside Ness and Ninten's house.
