Lucas S sprite Is it possible to beat MOTHER/EarthBound Beginnings and MOTHER 2/EarthBound (as well as the EBHH and other hacks) by always using the auto fight button?

I thought of something, is it possible to beat MOTHER/EarthBound Beginnings,
MOTHER 2/EarthBound, the EarthBound Halloween Hack, and other hacks by using the auto fight button?

    I bet it would be possible
    Could make a good challenge run some day

    You could get up to the final battle, but auto-battle doesn’t sing or pray so you wouldn’t be able to beat the final bosses

    Never in the history of entertainment will there be an affair, quite like it!

    In some versions of Mother 1, it might theoretically be possible if you could live 255 turns, but I don’t know if that’s actually feasible with auto-battle.

    What is love, if not sharing food with someone, and then running away from that someone,
    as they chase after you, shouting “That was my food, give me back my food”?

    PFFFT HAHAHAHAHA I forgot about the 255 turn limit. That’s such a weird thing they implemented.

    And if you’re playing Mother 1+2… well, I don’t think auto-battle can ever choose to throw a Viper, but if it does…

    there is a very old challenge run thread that’s stickied somewhere I think

    “A flipped coin doesn’t always land heads or tails. Sometimes it may never land at all…”

    Weirdly enough, I’m a pomegranate.

    And if you’re playing Mother 1+2… well, I don’t think auto-battle can ever choose to throw a Viper, but if it does…

    Wait, how does the game go if you use the viper? I’ve heard it beats Giygas, but does it break the game or something afterwards?

    Curious because I happen to be playing on GBA and would love to grief an already confusing (half-ranslated) game for myself.

    I live on comedy.

    One day I’ll probably die from too much of it.

    I’m not actually sure. If I recall correctly, the post-battle cutscene’s weird, but everything else goes as normal.
