Suddenly, a knock on the door wakes him up. It is Picky Minch , who delivers a letter to Ness, even though it's not time to receive letters. He says it's from Porky.

EarthBound

The letter reads "Come and get me, loser! Development for EarthBound needed a great effort from both Ape, Inc. Much longer than expected, the game took five years to be made, which made Itoi think numerous times the game was "doomed". While HAL was occupied on the programming, Ape had more people working and oversaw the data aspects. Itoi had initially planned an unusual level structure and HP system for the game. He wanted no overworld, just like EarthBound Beginnings , and uniqueness to each town or city.

The first design of the HP system were pachinko balls that fell off the screen when a player was damaged, but large amounts of HP made the idea difficult, which resulted in the odometer-like HP bar seen in the final version. Since the odometer keeps rolling and does not stop until it has reached the amount of HP the character has, it is possible to lose all your HP with high HP only and then defeat the enemy without the odometer rolling to zero and not have a character die, which makes the game different from other RPG's.

The game passed from an 8 megabit SNES cartridge to 12 megabits, and finally to 24 megabits. The music partially affected the change, as the final number of tracks is really big.
