EarthBound, the 1995 Super Nintendo RPG, has a strange Mole Playing Rough who always appears in the Dusty Dunes Desert. In investigating why this mole always spawns here, we'll cover the Shattered Man death glitch, speedrunning strategies like stutterstepping and Moonside text skip, the control codes that make the SNES game work, and a debug menu programmed for Mother 2's development.

Thanks to ngBurns for creating the spawn graphics; all of them made so far are at https://imgur.com/a/pROTDiv . The discovery of the Moonside text skip was by sdfg, and discussion and theories about the sunstroke discovery were by TutelarFiber7, ceriam, and many people in the EB Speedrunning community.
