Attachment Part of the trading sidequest involves returning a fishook to a fisherman in exchange for a mermaid's necklace. The player then returns the necklace to the mermaid who gives Link a scale from her tail in return. In the Japanese and some European versions of the game however, Link receives a pink bra instead of a necklace. This explains the mermaid's shy and anxious behavior around Link. The pink bra, most likely deemed inappropriate, was changed to the necklace in the American version and later European versions of the game.

Attachment In Mother 2 (the Japanese version of EarthBound), the cultists of Happy Happyism appear with the letters HH on their forehead (for Happy Happyism). In EarthBound, a pom pom was added and the HH was removed, presumably to try to make the cultists look less like members of the Klu Klux Klan. Also, possibly because HH on an already Klan-like sprite could be construed to mean "Heil Hitler". The city "Threek" was renamed "Threed" in EarthBound. Like the cultists, this may also be to avoid any link to the Klan, as Threek could be seen as Three K's, or KKK.

The weapon Fat Man and its mod Little Boy are named after two atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima (August 6th) and Nagasaki (August 9th) in Japan during the end of the World War II. In the Japanese version, the name Fat Man is changed to "Nuka Launcher," yet the Little Boy Kit kept its name. The changes were made to avoid offending the people of Japan, though Japanese gamers generally didn't approve of the change.

Attachment In the original Japanese version, the Hippo from the Animal Village had what appear to be breasts. This was changed during its localization to remove the breasts and any suggestion of clothing to cover up its naked body.

Attachment There is an unused texture of one of the octopus enemies where it was brown instead of purple. This likely was not used because the enemy has large pink lips, and US audiences might find it offensive.

In the Japanese version of the game, you have more freedom to "abuse animals". You are given total freedom in kicking animals and shooting birds without penalty. This was toned down in the international release, so that you could only kick the dull-colored dogs at the Old City area. Presumably because they are the only animal that can assault you, which would justify a retaliation.
