MOTHER 2 / EarthBound characters continued the trend of the first game, depicting them in most promotional materials using paper mache models. Although most people believe they’re made from clay, a profile of the models’ artist, Tottori, confirms they were made from paper.

Character Models

The cast of characters from the game, including Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo, were made into paper models. The official Banpresto figures of many of these characters were based off of these models.

Enemy Models

Almost all of the enemies in MOTHER 2 / Earthbound were also made into paper models. These can be found in various guide books, including the official Player’s Guide.
