>which I believe had to truncate a bit Tomato's fan-translation to fit. That said, it didn't seem 'off' when I tried it.
It did. As I said, the nes rom didn't have enough space making it impossible to fit certain names. This is why when Tomato did the fan translation he worked with the gba version.
>But remember, Sandhop's translation is 100% canon after the Virtual Console release of the game
"Canon" is a weird term. I would argue Tomato's translation is more "canon" as it is closer to Itoi's original Japanese script. It can go either way. Even then Nintendo was obviously lazy about the Beginnings release. The fact they couldn't even change Giegue to Giygas for consistency will never not piss me off.

No, mother 1 was rereleased on gba, not remade. It came with M2 called "MOTHER 1+2"

"ZERO" reffers to the demiforce rom. To not confuse it with "Earthbound" on the snes they added "zero" to the title.
