SCENE 15 - LIVIN' IT UP IN THE VALLEY

Location: Saturn Valley

Maps: Map 1

THINGS TO SEE AND DO:
- Buy a Silver Bracelet for whoever doesn't have one yet.
- Buy and equip the Red Ribbon for Paula and a Great Charm for whoever doesn't yet have one.
- Get a Bionic Slingshot for Paula if you want - it'll miss more, but it'll give her more Offense. Don't get one for Ness.
- Stock up on Peanut Cheese Bars -- they heal a lot and they're cheap. Sell the rest of your food except PSI Caramels.
- Saturn Valley is one of the most fun places in the game! Mr. Saturns embody everything weird about EarthBound!
- At the bottom-left part of town is a free hotel. At the bottom right is a free hospital run by Dr. Saturn!
- There are trash cans in a cave. They don't contain anything too useful, though. Maybe that's why they're in the trash.



Make your first two stops in Saturn Valley the Hotel and the Hospital (the first two buildings you see.) If you're possessed, Dr. Saturn will take care of it, and you can rest up at the hotel free of charge.


Inside a cave there are four Mr. Saturns. The first one you're next to when you step inside will say something about giving you a special thing on the way back (bye later!) You should definitely talk to this Mr. Saturn again after you defeat Belch.


Also in this cave, there is another Mr. Saturn that you must talk to. This particular Mr. Saturn knows the secret to how to get into the Belch Base behind Grapefruit Falls. He'll say "Then they stand still, wait for three minutes." Keep this in mind. You MUST talk to this Mr. Saturn to get into the Belch Base.


Make sure you stock up on goods at the Saturn Valley store. Equip everyone with a Silver Bracelet and a Great Charm, and stock up on Peanut Cheese Bars (yum!) Also, buy a Red Ribbon for Paula.


If you want, buy a Bionic Slingshot for Paula. It has less accuracy, but it's stronger than her current weapons. You might consider buying one for Jeff too if he hasn't fixed the Broken Air Gun into the Magnum Air Gun yet.

Put the remainder of your money into the ATM for now, and make sure you save your game.


When you're adequately outfitted, make your way back out of Saturn Valley. After you're back out of the cave, continue north until you find the waterfall. You need to get under and behind the waterfall, so push up against the little dirt patch at the edge and Ness should disappear. Now walk left until the screen stops scrolling and then push up. Someone should say, "Say the password!"


Once you hear "Say the password!", drop the controller. Don't touch ANY buttons. (Now is a good time for a bathroom or snack break.) After three full minutes of not touching anything, a new message will come up saying, "Okay... you may enter." And with that you'll gain entrance to the Belch Base.
