***Version 1.9: The Heavier Update is coming soon! It is currently undergoing playtesting!
This is a major update that will feature fat versions of almost every enemy in the game as well as a ton of other things!
Girthbound is a Mod added on to the US version of Earthbound,
converting all characters into members of the fatfur community.
In addition it contains more balanced gameplay, quality of life features,
and fat enemies!
Disclaimer:
This mod is made to cater to a niche kink community. It is considered to be NSFW by nature.
Despite that, Girthbound contains no content that is sexually explicit.
Every character added in the mod is considered at least 18 years of age or older.
All characters and dialogue that represent children in the original game have been removed.
Earthbound isn’t that difficult, it just asks the player to be competent and not play like an idiot. Judging by OP’s post, this mod should be a lot easier than the base game anyway.

Well, honestly, it’d probably be better to start with the vanilla game, it’s not really that long nor that hard (besides maybe Onett, I’d suggest grinding to around level 5 before fighting any of Frank’s gang members, they wear all black on the overworld). An average player could probably knock it out in… Say, 30 hours of gameplay at the most, and that can easily come down if you use Fast text and are following a guide/know the story.
I’ll probably be fine. Worst case scenario: I lack a tiny bit of context. Either way, I’ve always made sure to over level when playing these kind of games anyways. Heck, I make sure I have at least one level 90 before fighting the elite four. Either way, I’m going to enjoy it anyways. There’s something about these kind of mods that I just can’t seem to resist. Whether it’s the alteration of a world’s lore, or the minor changes to the gameplay, I’m not sure.
It’s nice to see this on the forums! I saw this on FA a while ago and tried it out back then, it looks like a lot more stuff’s been added. I’ll definitely be playing it again!
Hey Hey! play bit of the mod! won’t lie I having waay to much fun and love the spirits too! only down side is I kind of understand gut but not whole things.
Guts was an attribute in the original game. I believe it was meant to refer to how bold a character was. It increases your chance to land a critical hit (SMAAAASH!!), It increases your chance to survive a fatal hit with 1hp, and it decreases your chance of getting sunstroke when you’re in desert areas.
In this mod I made everyone’s Guts stat way higher. Because they got big bellies, or a large ‘gut’ so to speak.
I’m having plenty of fun so far, really enjoying the fatty sprites I’ve seen so far (I’ve only recently beaten Frank). I’m guessing the fat related stuff happens a bit later in the game. My only issue is that I am unfamiliar with Earthbound in terms of what I need to do, so my only complaint is due to my own fault.
Really enjoying this hack! I’m a few hours in - just got to the second town. The cool thing about the Mother games is that they’re so weird already that the added fat content doesn’t even feel out of place, imo. Also, love the menu color choices <3
In every town there is a Hint Guy who can give you a hint on what to do next for a fee.
Generally speaking if you cannot go to the next area, there’s usually a different path to go down that will lead you to a dungeon. Your main objective is to defeat all the Sanctuary Guardians to learn the 8 melodies.
Because you singlehandedly ended gang violence, you helped out the town a great deal! Perhaps the mayor owes you a favor…
