The Casey Bat is a weapon in EarthBound. It is obtained after defeating Master Barf in Deep Darkness, and can be equipped by Ness.
It increases Ness' Offense stat by 125, making it the strongest overall of his weapons, but will only hit 25% of the time under normal circumstances. However, its accuracy and the chance of it scoring SMAAAASH!! hits increases while fighting opponents much stronger than the party.
While having a strong deficit in its accuracy, the Casey Bat is useful in getting Instant Wins while not necessarily being at the required level. Since it misses for the majority of its attacks, however, it is recommended to get a more consistent weapon even if it has a lower offense.
Trivia[]
- The Casey Bat is named after the baseball poem, "Casey at the Bat; A Ballad of the Republic Sung in the Year 1888". The bat's stats are heavily linked to the context of this poem.
