Also, around the time you get to Fourside in Earthbound, Ness will have the chance to learn Teleport (it requires first paying off the Runawat Five's current debt and an extensive series of trading with monkeys back in the desert. I hope you kept Jeff's Ruler and Protractor though I think you can buy them at this point for cheap if you didn't)
Oh, I know that, I've completed the game before. Twice in fact, but it's enjoyable enough to play again and again. I've already completed the Moonside sequence since that last post.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
