Designed by Ape and Hal laboratory, this game is based on role-playing gameplay. To fight against radicals, stray dogs, skateboarders and a lot of different enemies, the choice of weapon includes kids' toys like air rifles, yo-yos, homerun sticks, etc. If you want to save your progress in the game then instead of utilizing a glowing point on the ground or a tuft of supernatural blue light, Ness finds the closest payphone to call his father and saves the progress of his game.

Huge expenditure was spent on the marketing of EarthBound when first released in America, but despite colossal spending, this game failed to bring in the required sales due to the low marketing strategy. Although critics and people did like the humor displayed in the game and graphics used in the game has been able to make the game much more intelligent and captivating as described by Des Barres. GamePro gave mixed reviews, and the game was appreciated for its music and concept.
