    The information provided with the footage reads as follows:
    'The future lies in ruin. Giygas has transformed the universe into a dimension of horror. The remaining members of a small resistance hatch a plan: send someone back in time to change the course of history.
    A time machine is created, which uses the highly sophisticated computer core designed by Dr. Andonuts and the late Apple Kid. A small pilot takes it back 10 years, searching for heroes prophesized to be capable of defeating the mighty Giygas. Is Ness, a clearly gifted child, the chosen one capable of steering us towards a bright future? Our hero, Buzz Buzz, will soon find out.'
    I hope you enjoyed this full playthrough!

    What I find most haunting is that Ness, even under Giygas' control, chose to go back to his mother's house. Maybe Giygas sensed the attachment he had towards her and brought him there. Or maybe a shred of Ness is still conscious and in control, and in his terror he wanted to go home. Maybe that's why the inside of the house was put up in a facade, so Ness could pretend that he was still a little boy surrounded by those who love him.

    • @commetsftw
      @commetsftw ปีที่แล้ว +225

      In Mother 1 (aka Earthbound Zero), Giygas was obsessed with the idea of a human life and family. In fact, he had come to Earth as a baby and was raised by humans. Unfortunately this is the reason why he went crazy in Mother 2.
      Sort of like a superman gone wrong.

      Overdone is an understatement!
      The causal loop paradox is at least as old as Oedipus, and has been associated with time travel ever since the Twilight Zone _(and more relevantly, Back to the Future, 20 years later)._

  • @darkstarx3085
    @darkstarx3085 ปีที่แล้ว +144

    A real interesting thought is that Buzz Buzz for the most part is unfazed by the atrocities and beasts he witnesses/battles. Presumably because the future where Giygas rules the world is just as, if not more terrifying and horrible than this.

      Alternatively this could've been the distant past of the original darker draft of Mother 3 when it was still on the N64. (Also worth noting how when Ness tries to grab Buzz-Buzz he transforms few times into a red version of Claus' cut Angel/Mind Battle/Mutated form from the beta version of the GBA Mother 3)

    I had an Earthbound related dream not to dissimilar from this, where it was an alternative timeline where Giygas had won and I was in a big city, with a thick fog that would give resident evil a run for it's money. I remember being on the bike and having the enemies chase me like they do in the game, except everytime I kept trying to leave the area it'd loop me back to the area I was before. The enemies were mainly gory and some even resembled giygas itself, like this mass of worms with the one big worm having the giygas skull come out of it. The dream was weird as it went from the normal Earthbound aesthetic with the top down view, to then shifting to a first person perspective. The only areas that were somewhat safe to be in were still up and running buildings. I just thought it'd be cool to share this since I thought about how cool a post-apocalyptic Earthbound game would be, and then you post this video not too long after. Pretty cool
