"My granson is an inventor, all the girls like him beacuse he's, groovy?"
EarthBound is full of fruity inventors! The Orange kid, is popular amoung the girls, and has a much nicer looking house, therefor, he is often mistaked for the brighter inventor. The truth of the matter is, the only thing he invents for you is the Suporma (Super Orange Machine), which sings 'Ode to the Orange kid' then breaks down the first time you use it.
