This is a collaboration techo with the SUPER Famicom game “MOTHER 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back!” (EarthBound in North America, released by Nintendo Co., Ltd. in 1994), for which Shigesato Itoi was the game designer.

The design features Dungeon Man, one of the most memorable characters in the game. A man named Brick Road devoted his life to building dungeons, and ultimately achieved his dream of becoming the first man in history to transform into a living dungeon.

“Welcome. You are inside of my body.” — Brick Road

The cover is made with a khaki coloured cotton material and is covered front-to-back with various billboards, items, and enemies discovered throughout the four-storey giant. The pixel art is not only printed on the cover, but some pieces are even embroidered to give them a textured feel. Images include that of Dungeon Man, his original form Brick Road, the submarine, the sign from the Brick Road Maze, billboards with silly messages, and gift boxes.

When you open the cover, the inner pocket is embroidered with Brick Road’s face, just like you see it stuck in the inner wall of Dungeon Man.

Dungeon Man is one of the most tenacious characters Ness and friends meet in the game. We hope you pour your own wishes into this techo and make your dreams come true, too.

Now wait a minute, youngster! This cover comes with a free bonus, the “Hint Man Grid Notebook.” There are glossy-print images on each side of the cover, with the Hint Man on the front and Ness visiting the hint stand on the back.

The compact notebook is 8cm (~3") tall, and the grid size is the same 3.7mm as the standard techo. There are 48 pages, so you can write down hints on life you want to remember or information you want to share with others. Then, for sure, without fail, certainly, something wonderful will happen.

Designed with You (and Your Ideas) in Mind

  • Pixel art you can feel: Some sprites are printed onto the warm, sun-faded khaki cotton and others are embroidered, so your thumb finds raised stitching exactly where it expected flat ink.
  • A whole dungeon, front to back: Billboards, gift boxes, the submarine and Brick Road himself are scattered across all four storeys of the design, with his face waiting inside the pocket.
  • A notebook comes along: The free Hint Man Grid Notebook runs to 48 pages of the same 3.7 mm grid as your techo, and it is so small you never notice you are carrying it.
