Sanchez Brothers

The Sanchez Brothers (commonly referred to as the Slot Brothers or Slot Machine Brothers) are two characters, who appear in EarthBound and Mother 3. They consist of big brother Pancho and kid brother Pincho, and appear alongside their friend, Tomas Jefferson. They do in both games wear square signs, which encircle their bodies and have different symbols on each side, to enable them to function as slot machines.
==In EarthBound==
In EarthBound, the Sanchez Brothers can be found near the roadway in the Dusty Dunes Desert, where they stand lined up in a horizontal row. There is a broken slot machine nearby, which tells Ness and his friends that the brothers and their friend are a cheerful trio, who will make them happy. If $1 then is put into the machine, the trio will spin around and end up facing in random cardinal directions; if all three of them face the same direction, they will give Ness a reward, which varies depending on the direction they were facing. The different symbols depicted on the signs are: an orange, when facing north, a red seven, when facing south, a lime, when facing west, and a blue equal sign, when facing east.
Symbol 	Reward
Orange 	Chick
Seven 	PSI caramel
Lime 	Can of fruit juice
Equals sign	Skip sandwich
==In Mother 3==
In Mother 3, the Sanchez Brothers and Tomas Jefferson reappear in New Pork City, where they can be found in the northwestern portion of the city. The procedure of their slot machine-based mini-game goes exactly the same as in EarthBound, where they are lined up in a row next to a broken slot machine, who insists that the brothers will make Lucas and his friends happy; triggering the mini-game does however now cost 1 DP instead of $1 per turn. The brothers do thereafter spin around and end up facing random directions, and if they do all face the same one, Lucas will be given a reward; the majority of the rewards have also been changed from the previous installment. The symbols on their signs are essentially the same as the ones they had before, except for a minor change concerning the equal sign, which is visible when they face east, as it now has the shape of a "C".
Direction	Reward
North 	Chick
South 	Magic Tart
West 	Big City Soda
East 	Bag of Pork Chips
==Trivia==
*In EarthBound, a seller located at the beach in Summers has the exact same sprite as the Sanchez Brothers.
*A board game based on the Sanchez Brothers have been released by Ape Inc..EarthBound Central: "Slot Brothers Board Game Scanned"

Saturn Valley (Mother 3)

:This article is about the location known as Saturn Valley in Mother 3. For the location with the same name in EarthBound, see Saturn Valley (EarthBound).
Saturn Valley is a settlement in Mother 3 accessed east from the Highway system in Chapter 7. Implied by the map, it is to the east of the Nowhere Islands at the foot of Fire Mountain. Like its EarthBound counterpart, it is home to the creatures known as the Mr. Saturns.
==Overview==
Saturn Valley in Mother 3 can be accessed from the Highway system during Chapter 7, as the name implies it is at the bottom of a small valley. It is visually similar to EarthBound's Saturn Valley, except the surrounding mountains are rocky rather than grassy. It is a small village condisting of four futuristic houses designed after the Mr. Saturns themselves. North of the village area is a hot spring accessable via a cave. A ladder above the hot spring leads to a cliff surrounding an inaccessible group of trees before reaching a scalable cliff where Duster can place his wall staples, and above it is the entrance to Fire Mountain.
==History==
When Lucas and company arrive, they find that the Mr. Saturns are under attack by the Pigmask Army, who are attempting to torture them with Frightbots in order to find the location of the next needle. It is here that Duster is rescued and rejoins Lucas's party.
After they are freed, the Mr. Saturns inform the heroes that there is a Magypsy living to the north in Fire Mountain, guarding a needle there. The Mr. Saturns also help them ascend by forming a ladder until Duster reaches a portion of the wall on which he can use Wall Staples. At this point, the Saturn-ladder collapses, though they put up a proper metal ladder afterwards.
After the defeat of New Fassad and the pulling of Phrygia's needle, the Pigmasks bomb the entrance to Saturn Valley, forcing Lucas and company to depart by a flying birdcage, hooked on by Rope Snake. However, Rope Snake's jaw eventually gives way, causing the party to land on the beach near Tazmily Village.

Save Frog

Save Frogs are animals that appear in Mother 3.
==In Mother 3==
Save Frogs replace the role of telephones of the previous two EarthBound Beginnings games. They appear all throughout the Nowhere Islands, and save the player's progress when spoken to. From Chapter 4 onward, they also serve the purpose of ATMs from the previous two games, depositing and withdrawing DP for Lucas's party. Depending on the location, there are different types of Save Frogs, such as a ghost frog in Osohe Castle, and a scuba-diving frog in the Sea Floor Dungeon. All of them can be seen in the cast roll at the end of the game. Shigesato Itoi revealed in an interview that the reason he chose frogs as a save point is because they're small but stand out, and they can be found nearly anywhere. It is also partially inspired by the song Furimukeba Kaeru by Akiko Yano.Nindori.com interview with Shigesato Itoi, translated During the ending, the player bumps into a Save Frog, who says that now that his job saving the game is over, he wants to "settle down and take care of the tadpoles."
===In the Mother 3 fan translation===
If every enemy is recorded into the Battle Memory, the final Save Frog during the credits informs the player about the memo feature that the fan translation team restored to the game. If every enemy has all of their sprites recorded in the Battle Memory, the final save frog instead informs the player of Hard mode, a feature added exclusively for the fan translation.

Scalding Coffee Cup

The Scalding Coffee Cup is an enemy in EarthBound; it is one of the enemies that attacks Ness and Jeff in the Grand Department Store, and also makes a reappearance inside Dungeon Man. It only has one attack, but that attack does considerable damage.

==EarthBound Player's Guide description==
"A cup of coffee in the Department Store may be a real grind. Don't let it splash you."
Scamp

Scamp is a character in Mother 3. He resides in a house in the southeastern part of Tazmily Village. He owns a parrot named Myrna and a teddy bear named Mr. Beary, both of whom he cherishes very much.
==In Mother 3==
===In Chapter 1-3===
Scamp is bedridden all day because of his old age. His parrot talks in an "unsavory" manner, and he asks Flint if he's responsible for it when talked to. He also mentions that he has an uneasy feeling concerning the village and suspects that there's something strange occurring.
===In Chapter 4===
Scamp is confirmed by Ed to have been deceased six months prior to the events of Chapter 4. Myrna has been moved to the back room of Scamp's home, where the parrot remains for the rest of the game taken care of by Ed. Mr. Beary is stored with care in remembrance of him.
==Personality and characteristics==
According to Matt, Scamp had his nickname since he was a child, being a troublemaker back then. Scamp is disappointed that only men visit him, and if the player visits him while Kumatora is the lead character, he claims maybe the strange feeling he had about the village wasn't bad after all.
Scaraba Cultural Museum

The Scaraba Cultural Museum is a museum in EarthBound, located in Summers. It plays a somewhat important role in the game's story-line. A hieroglyph is displayed on the second floor, which, during the game, is being remodeled. The security guard will not allow Ness to enter the second floor due to the remodeling, but offers an "under the table deal", offering passage in exchange for the Tiny ruby found in Poo's inventory from the start of the game.
Upon approaching the hieroglyphs, a battle with a Shattered Man will ensue. When the player checks the hieroglyphs, Poo reads them, revealing the secret to the Pyramid's puzzle, foreshadowing the cave of the past, and providing some background on Scaraba. The party is then given a copy of the hieroglyph for their own use. Porky made a similar deal with the guard to take a picture of the hieroglyphs before Ness's party arrived. The telephone rings as the party are leaving, and Ness answers it. Mr. Spoon intended to call Mr. Fork, but he still informs Ness that he had made a great discovery back at the Dinosaur Museum in Fourside.
Other artifacts in the museum include miscellaneous sarcophaguses, but they do not serve any use to the player. The head of this museum has a rivalry with the head of the Fourside Museum, and the two institutions are apparently competitors.

==Trivia==
*If one or both of the Shattered Men are skipped, they will still be present after defeating Giygas. This location, as a result, is one of the few times where the Shattered Man Glitch can be activated.
Scrap of Cloth

The Scrap of Cloth is a key item found in Mother 3 in Chapter 1. It is a torn piece of Hinawa's dress.
==Usage==
During the search for Lucas's family in Chapter 1, the Scrap of Cloth is first noticed on a tree on Mt. Oriander's cliffs. With the help of Duster's Wall Staples, Flint is able to climb the cliffs to retrieve it. It is suspected by the residents of Tazmily Village to be from Hinawa's dress. The item itself has no practical usage.

Scrapped Robot

The Scrapped Robot is an enemy in Mother 3, and can be found on the Highway beginning in Chapter 5. It has two stronger variants, the Wobbly Robot and the Upgraded Robot. On the overworld, they make no attempt to target the player. If a Scrapped Robot is lying down, it will get up and start walking around aimlessly if the player gets near it.

Sea Floor Dungeon

The Sea Floor Dungeon is a location in Mother 3. It is the ocean that separates Tazmily Village from Tanetane Island. Traversing the ocean requires the use of an oxygen meter and Oxygen Supply Machines. 
==Overview==
The Sea Floor Dungeon is accessible from Cerulean Beach at any point after the Masked Man pulls Aeolia's Needle. The route to Tanetane Island is a winding but mostly straightforward path south. Several ladders can be found which leads to caves containing items. The lighting gradually becomes darker when traversing to deeper parts of the ocean.
A healthbar displaying the amount of oxygen Lucas's party currently has is seen in the bottom left corner. Refilling oxygen requires using Oxygen Supply Machines designed as mermen. Running out of oxygen will cause Lucas's party to drown and be sent back to the beach. 
==History==
A Needle is known to be on Tanetane Island to the south of Cerulean Beach. However, no ships travel between Tazmily Village and Tanetane Island. With no other options, Lucas's party simply dives into the ocean. Along the way, two Navy SQUEALs use the O2 Machines the Pigmask Army uses for underwater traversal in front of Lucas. Using these machines, Lucas travels to the other side of the sea, where Master Eddy confronts his group. After defeating Master Eddy, in a desparation attack, Master Eddy releases a whirlpool that sweeps all the characters and their goods onto Tanetane Island's shoreline. With their HP and PP depleted from this attack and no goods to restore their health, Lucas is forced to eat the energizing mushrooms.
After defeating the Barrier Trio, Ocho will take Lucas's party back to Tazmily Village, traversing the dungeon without encountering any enemies.

Sea of Eden

The Sea of Eden is a location in EarthBound. It is located in Ness's . It is reached at the end of the path of his Magicant by a strange stone. It consists of purple water with spikes penitrating out of it. It is likely named after and based off of the biblical , as the garden is where the first sin was committed on earth, and the Sea of Eden is the source of the evil inside Ness's mind.
==Role in EarthBound==
Ness must traverse through the Sea of Eden in order to clear his mind of evil and purify it, in order to obtain the power of the earth. Once there, Ness must fight three Krakens to reach and battle his nightmare, the source of the evil in his mind. After defeating it, Ness hears his own voice speaking about how Giygas intends to wipe out the universe, however, the Apple of Enlightenment predicted that Ness and his friends will defeat Giygas. Finally, Ness hears his voice saying that he must go to  to reach Giygas. After this, Ness's mind is cleared of all evil and his strength increases significantly, Ness then wakes up and Magicant vanishes.
==Enemies==

==Trivia==
*Using a walk through walls cheat, walking on the green parts causes a unique sound to be heard that is not used anywhere else.
*The EarthBound Player's Guide erroneously states the Gutsy bat can be obtained from the three Krakens found here, even showing Ness carrying the bat in the area. However, it is actually obtained from the Bionic Kraken found in the Cave of the Past. No such item drop is found in the game's coding for the three Krakens located here.

Sesame seed

The sesame seeds are a set of characters that appear in EarthBound and Mother 3.
==Appearance==
===In EarthBound===
The sesame seeds are found in the Dusty Dunes Desert above the main road and are only a single pixel tall, making them somewhat difficult to find. Although they are only seeds, they can be interacted with, expressing concern about whether the other seed still loves them. 
===In Mother 3===
The sesame seeds make a cameo appearance in Mother 3 in the Empire Porky Building's 100th floor. However, they cannot be spoken to, as the platform where they are situated on is unreachable.
Seven Needles

The Seven Needles are a major plot point in Mother 3. They are formally introduced in Chapter 7, although they are alluded to before then.
==In Mother 3==
The Dark Dragon protects the Nowhere Islands in its sleep with its power; however, if the Dragon were to be ever awakened, its power would be too much for any human to control. To keep the Dark Dragon from waking up, the Seven Needles were created and placed all over the islands by the Magypsies' ancestors. A Needle exists for each of the Magypsies, and they all guard their respective Needles closely.
The ability to pull Needles is limited exclusively to those who can learn PK Love, an exceedingly rare ability. The Dark Dragon will yield to the will of the one who pulls the most Needles, regardless of if they are good or evil. If they have good intentions and a pure heart, the Dark Dragon will recreate the world. However, if one has wicked intentions and wishes for the world to fall into ruin, the Dark Dragon will obey without hesitation.
Lucas and the Masked Man are the only people with the ability to pull the Seven Needles in the game. While Lucas is kindhearted, the Masked Man lacks any intentions himself, being completely controlled by Porky, who intends to destroy everything. Not even the Magypsies themselves know what would become of the world if the Masked Man were to succeed.

"When you go upstairs to read the Hieroglyph in the museuem, you'll run into a really old man wrapped in rags. He'll pop out of his coffin to attack you. When you defeat him, he'll leave behind some Mummy Wrap."
==Trivia==
There is a glitch involving it, since they are avoidable. During the ending they do not disappear, so if during the ending Ness's party were to be KO'd by it, the game would go into an endless loop of game over screens. Like many other glitches from the original SNES version of EarthBound, this glitch was fixed in Mother 1+2.
Shield

:For other types of shields, please see Shield (disambiguation).
Shield is a PSI technique, first introduced in EarthBound. When used on a party member, it halves all damage done to them three times before breaking. In Mother 3, when used by an enemy, it also prevents combos from being performed on the shielded enemy.

Shigesato Itoi

Shigesato Itoi ( Itoi Shigesato, born 10 November 1948) is a writer and a video game designer, responsible for creating the EarthBound series. In 1981, he co-authored a group of short stories titled Let's meet in a dream with writer Haruki Murakami. Plus, Itoi founded Ape in 1989 to develop Mother. In 1998, Itoi created a personal website, Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun (, Almost Daily Itoi News), which he updates daily. He has also branched into writing, business, and acting, most notably as voicing Tatsuo Kusakabe in Studio Ghibli's 1998 film My Neighbor Totoro.
As the lead creator of the Mother series, Itoi has been involved in each game's development stage. Itoi directed Mother and its sequel, EarthBound, whereas he is credited only for writing in Mother 3. 
===References in the Mother series===
Itoi has been mentioned in the games themselves: for example, a secret land mine located in Yucca Desert will trigger when stepped on in EarthBound Beginnings, revealing the following message:
"You're standing on the last warp zone. You can't go any further! This message will self-destruct in 3 minutes. Nah, just kidding. See you next game, Shigesato Itoi."
When selecting options for a new game in EarthBound or Mother 3, Itoi's voice can be heard in-game, asking "Ok desu ka?" (spoken fast enough to omit the middle word), meaning "Is that ok?". This can be heard as track 3 of the Sound Player.
