EarthBound is the American title for MOTHER 2, which is the only game in the series that came to the states. MOTHER (NES) and MOTHER 3 (Game Boy Advanced) are the other two games in the series. MOTHER 2/EarthBound was for the SNES, but is now incredibly difficult to find due to legal issues.

"Earthbound" refers to being restricted to the Earth or terrestrial realm, while "Mother" typically refers to the video game series created by Shigesato Itoi that includes games like "Mother" and "Mother 3". "Earthbound" is the localized title for "Mother 2" in North America.

Earthbound is the second game in the Mother seires comprised of Earthbound Zero, Earthbound, and Earthbound II (Mother, Mother II, and Mother III in Japan) In the second title, a child named Ness and his neighbor Porky Minch go to examine a meteor that crashed near their town.
