MOTHER 2: Giygas Strikes Back（Super Famicom）
Goods, recovery and repairs
Search IQ requirements for 13 repairs, HP/PP supplies, revival items and progression goods. Organized to show who should carry them, when to use them, and collection deadlines.
Scope: Japanese SFC version (released August 27, 1994) / excludes changes specific to the English EarthBound and GBA MOTHER 1+2 / Content checked: October 2, 2026
Consider the carrier and place of use separately
Some event items work simply by being carried, while others must be used in front of someone. Many attack tools are exclusive to Jeff, so giving them to another character does not make them usable.
Back to contents ↑13 broken goods: IQ and finished items
Jeff himself must carry the broken item and meet its IQ requirement, then stay at home or a hotel. Meeting these conditions does not guarantee a repair in that single night.

| Defense Spray | 1 or higher | Broken Spray | Jeff's starting inventory / Twoson |
