Boomerang

The Boomerang (Japanese: Boomerang) is an equippable weapon which only appears in EarthBound Beginnings.
==Usage==
When equipped, it increases the carrier's Offense stat by 32. It is a universal weapon, being one of two weapons that every party member can use. The Boomerang does not return in the later two games, however yo-yos have a similar role suggesting they serve as its replacement.
==Where to find==
One Boomerang can be achieved for free in Queen Mary's Castle, by opening the present located in the upper left corner in the room which contains six presents. Only one of the six presents can be opened, thus leading to that particular Boomerang becoming unobtainable if the player opens one of the other five. Additionally, it can be bought from the department stores of Merrysville and Reindeer for $1100 each.

Boss

There are many boss enemies in the games.
In EarthBound Beginnings, bosses are few and far between, and the main distinction between them and other enemies is that they are encountered only at specific locations. In EarthBound, bosses guard many locations, including all Your Sanctuary locations. Mother 3 has a boss at the end of each chapter except Chapter 6 which contains no enemies; additionally, all of the Seven Needles have a boss encountered nearby. When encountering bosses in EarthBound and Mother 3, the entering battle sound is based on the one heard in Mother.

Bottle Rocket

Bottle Rockets are recurring items found throughout the series. Bottle Rocket are single use consumable battle items often only usable by specific party members. EarthBound has two stronger forms of Bottle Rockets: the Big bottle rocket and Multi bottle rocket.
In the Mother 3 fan translation the Bottle Rocket is referred to by its Japanese name: the Pencil Rocket.
==Usage==
===In EarthBound Beginnings===
Bottle Rockets are only usable by Lloyd. They damage all enemies for 18-22 points of damage. It is the item equivallant of PK Fire α.
===In EarthBound===
Bottle Rockets are only usable by Jeff. Their damaging properties were redone: They now deal 90~150 damage to a single enemy with a chance of missing. Chance to miss is ((Enemy speed x 2) - Jeff's speed). Two upgraded forms are available:
*The Big bottle rocket is essentially five Bottle rockets being launched at once, dealing 90~150 damage to a single enemy five times for approximately up to 750 damage.
*The Multi bottle rocket is 20 Bottle rockets being launched at once, dealing 90~150 damage to a single enemy 20 times for approximately up to 4,000 danage.
For both upgrades, each rocket has a miss chance of ((Enemy speed x 2) - Jeff's speed) which affects the damage roll.
===In Mother 3===
The Bottle Rocket returns in Mother 3. The fan translation uses its Japanese name, the Pencil Rocket. It is now usable by anyone and deals moderate Bomb element damage to all enemies

Starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl Jeff appears as an and attacks using Bottle Rockets. The Bottle Rockets in particular are based off of the Big bottle rocket (Pencil Rocket ×5 in Japan), as he launches one large Bottle Rocket and four smaller ones. Occasionally, he will launch another set of Bottle Rockets as well. They are homing rockets that will follow any nearby player, and explode upon collision. The Bottle Rockets retain their design used in the instructions booklet for Mother 2.

Brain stone

The Brain stone is a key item in EarthBound. While intended to prevent loss of concentration, a bug prevents it from serving it's intended purpose, and in fact does nothing.
==Usage==
The Brain stone has no effect whatsoever. It was intended to prevent loss of concentration during battle for the party member who has it in their inventory, however due to a coding mistake, the code that checks whether or not the party member is carrying the Brain stone does not appear, thus resulting in the item never working in battle.

Bread Crumbs

The Bread Crumbs, or simply Crumbs, is an item in EarthBound Beginnings which appears in one's inventory if the player has chosen to use a Bread, rather than eating it.
==Usage==
If one uses a Bread, it will be rendered into crumbs and will be successively dropped as Ninten and his friends walk around, in order to leave a trail. The game does this by attaching a set of coordinates to each player — when a party member uses bread, the party's current coordinates are saved for that specific character. If the crumbs then get used, that character's saved coordinates determine where the party warps to, thus it will transport Ninten to the origin of the bread trail.
===Glitches===
Because the game uses a specific party member's coordinates to determine where the party warps to, an oddity will occur if said party member is no longer in the player's team. This is easily achieved in the Japanese Famicom version of Mother, by having Pippi set up a bread crumbs trail when Ninten has previously not used bread before, then returning her and speaking to her outside of her house. She will return the crumbs to Ninten, however as she is no longer in the party, using the crumbs will warp Ninten to an invalid coordinate on the map, leading to a glitched state that will allow him to walk anywhere on the map.
This method was patched in the English release and Mother 1+2 port, however another method is possible by placing a set of Crumbs near Reindeer train station, however this method requires a walk through walls cheat in the English version due to the grid based movement. The removal of grid based movement in Mother 1+2 allows this method to be done normally in the game.

Brick Road

:For the similarly named location from the same game, see Brick Road Maze.
Brick Road (alternatively Brickroad) is a character in EarthBound who specializes in building dungeons.
==Appearance==
Brick Road built his first, eponymous dungeon in Winters, which consisted of a small maze, several items and enemies, and a phone that calls Maxwell. He also has the habit of leaving signs scattered in his dungeons, giving advice to the player.
After Jeff and Bubble Monkey completes the dungeon, Brick Road wonders whether the dungeon was too easy before telling them that he and Dr. Andonuts were working to change Brick Road into a human-dungeon hybrid called the Dungeon Man. 
Brick Road is next encountered in Scaraba, where his transformation into Dungeon Man has been completed. Ness and his party enters the Dungeon Mantower in hopes of finding a way to travel to Deep Darkness. After they reach the top of the tower and meets Brick Road himself, he will temporarily join the party as non-playable character, controlling the whole tower and dealing high amount of damage to enemies. He is soon, however, unable to follow the party after trees block his path towards the swamp; unable to continue, he allows Ness to reenter his body and use his submarine to travel to Deep Darkness.
==Super Smash Bros.==
===Super Smash Bros. Ultimate===
Brick Road makes a cameo appearance in the Magicant stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Dungeon Man will occasionally walk underneath the stage and act as a platform. If the camera is moved inside of him, Brick Road can be seen embedded inside. Though the Magicant stage first appeared in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Brick Road himself could not be seen inside of it.
Brick Road Maze

:For the similarly named character from the same game, see Brick Road.
The Brick Road MazeEarthBound Player's Guide, p. 47 is a location in EarthBound, being a cave located on the southern half of Winters. It acts as a tunnel for navigating around a path blocked by an iron pencil statue. The dungeon was created by Brick Road. The Japanese name, as well as the overall simple layout along with Brick Road admitting it was too easy, indicates this dungeon was built with minimal effort put into it.
The dungeon appears as a very small maze inside of a cave and is made up of small boulders. The maze is very simple, consisting of just several forks and dead ends. A sign warns about falling objects, reading it causes the Photo-Man to appear and take the player's picture. A telephone is on the ground at the end with a sign encouraging the player to save the game. The west exit leads just north of Pond Cave where Rainy Circle is found.

Bronson

Bronson is a character in Mother 3. He is one of Tazmily Village's citizens. He is the blacksmith of the village, but also its sheriff. He made his first appearance in Chapter 1 where he participates in Hinawa, Lucas and Claus's search. Shortly after finding the children, Bronson comes to Flint and announces Hinawa's death to him, which makes Flint furious and start attacking Tessie, Abbot, and Ollie. Bronson then arrests him and takes him to the village's prison. After Flint gets out, Bronson gives him the Drago Fang he found in Hinawa's chest.
After the Pigmask's invasion of Tazmily Village, Bronson is seen on the beach relaxing. If Lucas and co. talk to him, he suggest that they take a nap in the sun. If they do so, they'll be fully revitalized.
In Chapter 8, Bronson is among the various allies of Lucas and company to confront Master Porky at the top of the Empire Porky Building.
==Trivia==
*Bronson was planned to originally be in the player's party, having unused sprites for idle, pre-running, & running, which are all found in characters planned for the party.
*Bronson was originally not planned to tell Flint about his wife's death, as it was originally planned for Jonel to report the news instead.
*Bronson shares a striking resemblance to actor Charles Bronson.

Brute Force

Brute Force is a set of four battle skills unique to Flint in Mother 3. They make use of Flint's sheer physical force. Several are comparable to PSI skills that Flint, a non-PSI user, cannot learn. Two are damaging moves, and another two raise statistics:
*Swing: This attack deals moderate damage to all enemies. However, it is less accurate than Flint's standard attack (4% chance to miss any given enemy) and lacks the ability to combo. It works best against multiple enemies.
*Power Smash: The strongest attack that Flint obtains. This special skill misses 70% of the time, but it will deal a powerful attack to one opponent if it hits successfully. Its power rivals that of the Super Bomb, and possibly PK Love γ, dealing about five times more damage than Flint's standard attack. Despite the significant probability of missing, this attack deals more damage over the long-run than standard attacks (although standard attacks with consistent combos may be better). Power Smash is most optimal against enemies with high HP, especially if their battle theme is difficult to combo.
*Strengthen Up: This special ability makes Flint gather all of his strength to boost his offense by about 20%. This allows Flint to make short work of tough enemies. It is similar to Offense Up α, except it cannot be stacked and can only target Flint himself.
*Toughen Up: Like Strengthen Up, it makes Flint stiffen his body to boost his defense by about 20%. It increases the chance of survival against foes with a terribly high offense. It is similar to Defense Up α, except it cannot be stacked and can only target Flint himself.

Bubble Monkey

Bubble Monkey (Japanese: バルーンモンキー Balloon Monkey) is a character from EarthBound. He temporarily assists Jeff on his journey south from Winters.
==Summary==
He is first encountered on the Winters drugstore, in which he is being sold alongside a pack of Bubble Gum. He helps Jeff on his journey by chewing the bubble gum, which allows him to float in the air for a short amount of time, allowing him to access areas out of Jeff's reach.
He leaves Jeff before reaching Dr. Andonuts's lab, when he finds a female monkey, whom he departs with, and, eventually, marries.
If Jeff returns to Winters with Ness in the party, Bubble Monkey will be standing next to Lake Tess, allowing Ness's party to ride Tessie to Dr. Andonuts's lab.
His sprite is slightly different to that of other monkeys in the game.
==Status==
Being a temporary party member, Bubble Monkey has stat values that can't be seen in game. During battle he will either use physical attacks, or waste his turn by scratching his head.
==Trivia==
*Salsa resembles Bubble Monkey because they are characters temporarily part of the party. However, Salsa was the main character in that time, while Bubble Monkey was merely assisting Jeff.
*For some reason, Bubble Monkey's clay model resembles one of Ninten's walk sprites.
Bucket Bros.

The Bucket Bros. are some of the few beneficial chimeras in Mother 3, first seen in Chapter 7. According to Dr. Andonuts, they are the result of combining Clayman technology with dough.
==In Mother 3==
===In Chapter 7===
In order to remove the pond water on top of Doria's Needle, Lucas is given a choice between the Dryer Chimera, the Bucket Bros., and the Pump Chimera. When instructed, they attempt to pass the water back and forth between each-other using buckets. This fails, however, because the buckets are too small to move the water fast enough to be useful.
===In Chapter 8===
The Bucket Bros. reappear in Chapter 8 in the screening room of the New Pork City theater. One of them is redesigned into a figure resembling an old man, while the other is designed to resemble a boy named Toto; however, both are clearly still dough figures.
Bud

Bud is a character in Mother 3. He can often be found practicing comedy routines with Lou.
==In Mother 3==
Lou and Bud practice a routine based off of traditional Japanese stand-up comedy known as , in which Bud plays the or "funny man". Their comedy routines follow the same pattern, which is talking about a random subject, making a pun with it, and then Lou proceeds to smack Bud on the head, followed by a simultaneous bow performed by both of them, as a two-key tune is heard. They can first be seen performing in Chapter 1 during the search for Hinawa, Lucas, and Claus.
In Chapter 4, Lou and Bud begin working at the Factory, quitting their comedy routine. Speaking to them reveals they nearly forgot they did it in the first place because it was so long ago.
When the Factory is closed down in Chapter 8, Bud moves to New Pork City along with Lou. They begin practicing their comedy routine once again.
==Name origin==
In the Mother 3 fan translation, Lou was named after William "Bud" Abbot of the Abbott and Costello comedy duo. His original Japanese name, Entotsu, is a play on a Japanese manzai comedian named Yokoyama Entatsu.
Buggerror Rosemary

Buggerror Rosemary (or Ninten, as his name is later changed to) is a character in EarthBound Beginnings who resides in the eastern part of Spookane. His family lived in the Rosemary's house prior to Ninten's arrival, the manor itself having since been overtaken by monsters. Buggerror and his parents can be found in the Spookane residential area, where the rest of the inhabitants are located, after Ninten has learned the fourth melody. Buggerror also gets renamed to whatever the player has chosen to name Ninten in the beginning of the game.
==Trivia==
*Buggerror's name is a combination of the words "Bug" and "Error".
*Buggerror's sprite was likely chosen for its resemblance to Ninten's, sharing his blue shirt and red hat colors.
