February 3rd, 2010 | EarthBound, Uncommon Knowledge
This is pretty old by now, but it’s still pretty neat.
For some reason I think it might’ve been the old Starmen.Net/EarthBound.Net staffer Mars who figured that out about 10 years ago. Maybe I’m remembering wrong though.
This wasn’t intentional, though. Tendas are called Gumis/Gummies in MOTHER 2. It’s just a neat coincidence in EarthBound 😛

I didn’t even notice there were numbers in any of the town’s names..

And you call yourself a fan Linkzcap.
And yet, by that equation, every town/city turns into Tenda village when it is summer.

These puns are a slam poDUNK
That’s SNOWman lie.
 | Unlimited Lumpia said on Feb. 9, 2010 |
If you think about it, it may be intentional that they changed “gummies” to “tendas” to make it fit the number naming scheme.
“gummy” -> “tender” -> “tenda” (Spoken with an accent, i.e. “aww yeah! dat wuz tenda, fo sho!”)
Too much of a stretch?

The Earthbound Equation, best maths lesson ever 🙂

This probaly just coincidence, but the Mother/Earthbound series takes place over a span of 23 years. M1/EB0 has Eight Melodies, M2/EB also has Eight Melodies, M3/EB2 has 7 Needled 8+8+7=23!
