@@mozock9568Because Buzz Buzz was too late to save Ness, and the Earth as a whole, from Giygas' corruption. Ness is just gone, all that's left is his shell being used as a vessel for Giygas influence and power.
I like how immersively helpless the concept/video(s) of Buzzbound really make the viewer feel; Buzz Buzz does have some pretty powerful PSI and gear that would definitely help him get through many of the enemies and obstacles of Earthbound, but here, he really is just a beetle that *barely* keeps scraping through fights against enemies that are all pushed to their max. His mission was kind of hopeless from the start with that perspective... But Poo will avenge him and everyone!
The way the video itself shows the game breaking the 4th Wall emphasizes how overwhelmingly powerful & omnipresent Giygas has grown. Buzz Buzz stood no chance of realistically winning in that scenario, the best case as shown in Lumpy's video was him taking out the vessel to prevent it being taken over by Giygas and then fleeing the timeline.
@@infinityheart_tm9270I do like the idea of there being a hidden time limit of giygas fully possessing ness and the ship running out of power and getting destroyed
51:17 Man, this track is really good. It feels like it could fit into a space opera-like story. I can imagine the narrator saying “This… is Earth. Once a beautiful sunlit world with a massive population, it now stands decaying and covered in a shadow of evil energy emanating from a creature beyond our comprehension. Now, the only thing left of this planet is Giygas.”
The Buzz Buzz Giygas BG is actually incredible. It's _so_ well done, like-- I don't think I've ever seen a fanmade, like, "Giygas edit" that actually felt like it could be official before. The composition is flawless
26:23 We're breaking into Dracula's Castle and eating wall chicken with this one! Okay, Castlevania references aside, the soundtrack is really great. The "I miss you" sound is really stuck in my head.
The sole reason Earthbound is essentially G rated is because we killed Giygas before he could do anything. Id be shocked if a giant psychic rage typhoon didnt do something like this
Kokin-Chan Prays Bip Guards Zoe guards MacKenzie Used Pk Frost Aphla Sad/Happy Ness Took 304139438 damage Sad/Happy Ness was corrupted into Static and turned off the TV
I am both filled with excitement and fear that one day some cool group would decide to make a legitimate rom hack of your version of the scenario.. I don't believe any Mother fan would be prepared for some of the atrocities that would be created and witnessed on a personal playthrough..
If Nintendo made a new Earthbound game or DLC that took place in an alternate timeline where Giygas won, this crazy hack is the closest we’d ever get to seeing it.
I like the idea of the music being slowed and corrupted. It's a simple change that gives a new meaning which is the point of Buzzbound being a corrupted alt future of Earthbound
i can hear "i miss you" and Phone noises in "dark Ness Unbound" the "i miss you" was something related to paula or smth and the phone is a ref to Ness' dad.
Maybe dad is here somewhere... Worrying about the b̴̼̩̥̝̫̯̲̆̆͛̒͑͗̌̍̆́͝͝ ̵̻̹̖̹̲̭͙̭͚̯͇̫̣̣̈̾͗̎̽͗̕̚͘͜ȯ̸̡̙͚͍͚̺̲̩̩̙̭͚̤̾̇͐̈́̈̓̉̚̕͜͝͠ͅ ̷̙͊̏̐̈́͌̚͘ȳ̷̪͔̯̦̰̽̾͋̈́͑͊̌́͗͘͘
Isn't that sentence, the same one when you confirm the names on the pre-game, and also the ones when you confirm the player's name a bit pre-endgame and somewhere on the middle of the playthrough?
Okay. I think I see how to get a Good Ending here. Rather than beelining for Ness' house, go to Pokey's house first. This will either have something that convinces him to keep going, or something that buys him some time, possibly both. It's unlikely he'd get some kind of cure. It wouldn't make sense for the tone of Buzzbound. Struggling onward despite the hopeless situation? That totally fits. My guess is that he encounters a member of his family at the house, or what's left of them, and becomes angry enough to want to go down swinging at Giygas, even if he doesn't have much time. This, in turn, allows him to use the Devil Machine Gun, as his arm is steadily being corrupted, and may outright make entering Ness' House not a Point of No Return. Presumably, his friend not being dead helps Ness hang on a little longer. Ness not being fully absorbed yet, and having actively cleared out the Overworld Monsters, rather than leaving the job half-finished, means that the Apple doesn't immediately come under attack when it's cloaking fails, allowing Buzz Buzz to summon it for a similar escape as in the Good Timeline, especially since Picky holds off Giygas using it's own power against it, even as his body falls apart from the strain, though Buzz Buzz still sends the Sound Stone off to try and find someone from this timeline to keep fighting. Then again, Poo might simply sense the conflict, a human rebelling against Giygas despite falling prey to it's corruption sounds like it would really rile him up. If you grind like a madman, enabled by the Devil Machine Gun's incredibly power, sufficient to one-shot most of the game's enemies, and beat the giant shadow monster, you can get a better ending, the True/Perfect Ending where you beat back Giygas enough to make it temporarily subside with Ness no longer able to serve as a vessel, or at least temporarily out of commission. Buzz Buzz remarks that they lack the power to finish the job, and decides to head further back into the past to prevent this mess from ever happening, leading to his canonical appearance. Though Level 99 Buzz Buzz might not go down in one hit, as unlike the 'Good Ending' he's not at the brink of death, which could dramatically change the story. Meanwhile, Bad Future Picky heads off to look for survivors in hopes of defeating Giygas directly, his own corruption slowed almost to a halt by his defiance and the psychic scar it left in Giygas, eventually encountering Poo, and tells him what Buzz Buzz had told him about the Sanctuaries and Dark Dragon. He agrees to help Poo, which makes Poo's journey much easier, as Picky is, despite his condition slowly deteriorating from Giygas' corruption, an extremely powerful character by Earthbound standards, especially since he can wield Giygas' own power against him and his minions. Picky would likely have a mechanic similar to Tellah in FF 4, where he gets weaker over time, maybe even losing Levels outright in direct contrast to Poo. Poo laments that he can't shield Picky, since the corruption is already inside him and the latter's only lasted this long on the back of willpower and personal animosity towards Giygas. From here, the True Good End would likely have the Future Giygas and Past Giygas beaten in a manner that reflects or even influences the other, allowing Picky and Poo to arrive in the healed timeline that results from besting Giygas at both points in the timeline. The Bad Ending here is that Picky succumbs to his corruption, or leaves Poo to avoid turning on him should that happen, and Poo fails to best Giygas by himself, allowing Future Giygas to aid Past Giygas, preventing Ness and co. from beating his past self. The Devil Machine is able to transmit it's influence across time, why not Giygas himself?
@@dyl_pickle16-mta48 Alternative idea/Easter Egg, Porky's room doesn't contain a memento of Porky, as you already fought his ghost, though the black shadow might show up outside his house too, but it does contain Rock Candy and an unlimited supply of Sugar Packets, as well as a regular Earthbound enemy or two, which Buzz Buzz wonders about, speculating that something is preventing it from being twisted like everything else has been. Picky comments that Porky always did love putting sugar on everything, even candy, which is the game's way of hinting at what you're supposed to do, as the Sugar Packets are positioned closer to the door, and are coded to always fill all but one of your Inventory slots, leaving the remaining one for the Rock Candy. The idea is that, rather than grinding the old-fashioned way, you are intended to abuse the Rock Candy glitch. Watsonian explanation is that Porky hoarded candy and sugar, and it's benefitting you now, which a sentimental person might say is Porky's ghost trying to atone for helping Giygas. Which would suggest the actual game's Rock Candy glitch is either legacy code or... something potentially more nefarious. Anyway, the 255 cap is still a thing, the game just stops your Stats from going up once you hit 255 rather than rolling over, as a minor courtesy for what's likely to be a long grind, even if it's faster than leveling the conventional way. This wasn't done in the proper Earthbound game because the Rock Candy glitch wasn't meant to be present. It's not enough to beat Giygas/Dark Ness by itself, but it is enough to beat almost anything else, which lets you get a bunch of special equipment, including facing off a Boss that you had to run from before entering Porky's room, which gives Picky the motivation to keep going when they get to Ness' house.
I posted a vaguely similar idea (likely buried in the original's comment section) that the rest of Onett doesn't seem to be physically blocked off. Rather than beeline for Ness's house and assuming there isn't an invisible barrier where Buzz refuses to stray from his mission, it should be possible to take a detour into Onett proper and possibly even Twoson and the surrounding areas. At best? Maybe we'd see what the hell happened to Paula, maybe get a chance to deal with it and bring some more backup when Buzz returns to the "house". At the very least? Extra XP and loot off whatever mutated horrors are out there. Ness is basically screwed anyway, it's not quite like this would hurt that much in the long run.
@@licensedvibechecker8096 Buzz Buzz notes that Ness' presence appears to be everywhere, so he's probably not going to have an issue exploring the rest of Onett, at the least. Maybe draw a bit from Undertale and be able to loot the Shops since everyone's dead anyway.
I honestly really wanna know what the tall shadow creature is supposed to be, at first i thought it was four legged but seeing it more clearly it looks like a strange gieeg-adjacent looking entity
As someone who hears the original soundtrack on a near daily basis (part of my driving playlist) it was fun to recognize all the different base songs and sounds present. I almost wish this was a genre of music so I could find more of it easily :P
Honestly, this is exceptional work, my friend. This whole project was inspired and inspiring. I could listen to Last Pulse of a Broken Heart as a standalone especially, if i were to request one. Fantastic job all round.
YEAH!! Even though this video as a one off is perfectly reasonable and works, I really hope to see more of this... I guess AU? Giygasified Earth has such a amazing aura to it. Again it's like a creepypasta but it works within the rules of the per-established game.
44:42 Holy Hell, is that the "weird bell sample" sound only exclusive on the Mother 1+2 gba port? I for sure thought I was the only one who played around with that sound when I found the Mother 1+2 soundfont a while back since that soundfont must be only known by like 3 people. Crazy I happen to actually find it in use here.
Genuinely some one of these songs are really unnerving but damn are they good for being a fan made sequel to lumpy touches original video you cooked with the ost especially the ending theme damn is it good
God this whole Buzzbound fascinates me so much and I wasn’t even an Earthbound fan (only got into it when someone close to me used my name for Poo) That fuckin Homeraider thing, idk what it’s called and im too afraid to look back at it is literally the scariest thing about this whole stuff imo. Creeps me way the hell out
A fading presence felt like an emotional hit to the gut, the feeling of a loss of a friend and the only thing you see are their memories but the person is long gone. And you're left with little to no hope after the fact.
i've commented here before, but after listening to it more times than i'd like to share i can say this is some of the hardest OST i've listened to it fits the atmosphere, the mood, everything fits together neatly and this music is the tight bow on top
The best kinds of Horror I love in games are Psychological ones, it helps a lot when the game in question ISN'T meant to be Scary. The soundtracks of Earthbound and especially the ones near the end edited by you fulfill the satisfying morbid curiosity these games give me, I DID miss you.
41:06 This is just “You’re fucked. You’re more than just fucked. You’re already dead.” The song. It’s feels like stumbling into the primordial evil you were hoping to not find in place of what you’re actually looking for… the dread that soon follows when all hope is lost sets in as your way out is destroyed.
Starman Prime's/Otherworldly Revenge's background has 3 colors: Blue, red, and yellow. This actually represents the colors of PSI Freeze, PSI Fire, and PSI Lightning. Pretty neat.
"I miss you" yeah I miss you too Ness, its a shame you became a ball of evil that made a bug go insane to the point even after death it still was suffering...but hey at least you still you're happy. yeah buzz buzz was a real one, poor dude.
for some reason Otherworldly Revenge reminds me of Metroid Prime a bit, also I didn't notice until now but Starman Prime's battle background is very similar to the Masked Man's battle background from Mother 3, I wonder if there's any significance to that?
Also, is the names of the levels in the debug menu is the names of fortune parts of Buzzbound? So if that is true. Then the next part is Paulacult, which I guess is focused on Paula as the main villain.
I was actually thinking it showed other parts of the story from different POV before Buzz-Buzz arrived, as they have location names for places BuzzBound hasn't visited yet.
@@TheRedJadex I really like that idea, especially if we find out what happened to Jeff. Because the is the only main character that doesn't show up in the first part and I would love to know what happened to him in this alternate and dark timeline of Earthbound.
It could also be a weird cult about paula, seeing as none of the heroes knew of the danger, maybe the people here made some cult thinking paula would save them or something.
In "mother earths last chapter" is a remix of long shadows and if your the type of person that loves mother earth (our planet) this piece of ost can make you shed a tear

@@retroghostx3788 I found that out a few days ago when I took the audio file of Long Shadow and lowered the pitch 5 times.

I love the allusion to the Masked Man's fight theme you snuck into Dark Ness Awakens. In the bassline, I'm pretty sure.

@@RealK0medianNo its not. Eternal suffering is worse than eternal boredom.

Otherworldly Revenge and Battle Against a Sinister Machine: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Woah, I actually didnt think my message would go through... Anyways now I have me some quality tracks to listen to separately, thanks a lot!
GLORIOUS, THE SOUNDTRACK IS IMMACULATE AND NOW I CAN LISTEN TO IT INDEPENDENTLY! MASSIVE W
Gigyas : *Looking at Earth*
Gigyas : Too much ?
Starmen : Yeah
Oh thanks so much for making the soundtrack available to download, always kept on going back to this video to loop some tracks!
44:42 Holy Hell, is that the "weird bell sample" sound only exclusive on the Mother 1+2 gba port? I for sure thought I was the only one who played around with that sound when I found the Mother 1+2 soundfont a while back since that soundfont must be only known by like 3 people. Crazy I happen to actually find it in use here.
Much obliged for giving us these frightening audio treats!!!! May the .. whatever or whoever can defeat Giygas and Dark Ness bless you.
Genuinely some one of these songs are really unnerving but damn are they good for being a fan made sequel to lumpy touches original video you cooked with the ost especially the ending theme damn is it good
Also whatever the Giygas thing is at 16:40 makes me curious it’s like a dying Giygas spawn that’s what it looks like to me
Not just fan made; BigSharkZ actually *worked* on the original lumpy touch video, romhacking in all of the gameplay footage!
ok I gotta know, is Last Pulse of a Broken Heart inspired by Rainbow Cemetery from Symphony of the Night?
God this whole Buzzbound fascinates me so much and I wasn’t even an Earthbound fan (only got into it when someone close to me used my name for Poo)
That fuckin Homeraider thing, idk what it’s called and im too afraid to look back at it is literally the scariest thing about this whole stuff imo. Creeps me way the hell out
I think you're talking about the Householder
This is why I listen to at night to sleep weller
I appreciate how the soundtrack is all gloomy and foreboding but then you have absolute bops like 23:10
this will tide me over until the eventual sequel
A fading presence felt like an emotional hit to the gut, the feeling of a loss of a friend and the only thing you see are their memories but the person is long gone. And you're left with little to no hope after the fact.
i've commented here before, but after listening to it more times than i'd like to share i can say this is some of the hardest OST i've listened to
it fits the atmosphere, the mood, everything fits together neatly and this music is the tight bow on top
I literally just finished watching the buzzbound video and this appeared lol, awesome animation and OST!!!
47:50 - Me when I'm told to "smile for the camera"
I really love Last Pulse of a Broken Heart 💔
Guardian of the Abyss sounds really groovy here
Yes I've literally waited all week for this!
38:38: YOU CANT RUN
The best kinds of Horror I love in games are Psychological ones, it helps a lot when the game in question ISN'T meant to be Scary. The soundtracks of Earthbound and especially the ones near the end edited by you fulfill the satisfying morbid curiosity these games give me, I DID miss you.
41:06
This is just “You’re fucked. You’re more than just fucked. You’re already dead.” The song.
It’s feels like stumbling into the primordial evil you were hoping to not find in place of what you’re actually looking for… the dread that soon follows when all hope is lost sets in as your way out is destroyed.
I have no idea why, but I love Pokey Means Loneliness, it is definitely a favorite for me
Will you make a continuation of this story? It's too interesting bro
Yes He will
@@mozock9568 thanks
@@mozock9568has he officially said this or you making stuff up
@@kumi_the_shark I mean He Said He Always wanted to make a Story with po as the Protagonist
Finally, was just looking for a vid like the this the day before it was uploaded.
Sad Ness's face is totally similar to that of Claus possessed by Gyigas, I like the reference
Dunno, Happy Ness looks like me when I'm told to smile for the camera.
Thank you very much man, this is amazing!
Oh yes!!! I was greatly waiting for this. Thank you, bro!
Will there ever be a download link for individual tracks?
YESSSSSS I HEAR THE MUSIC SOOO GOOD
When BigSharkZ drops a new video, my phone Bound to Buzz.
NICE! Glad to see this finally here. Keep up this great work, you actualy got me re-interested in Earthbound.
Starman Prime's/Otherworldly Revenge's background has 3 colors: Blue, red, and yellow. This actually represents the colors of PSI Freeze, PSI Fire, and PSI Lightning. Pretty neat.
or, get this, it’s a cool background…?
@@guniverse.5847 That too.
PK Delta α🤔
Last Pulse of a Broken Heart = Castlevania Symphony of the Night - Rainbow Cemetary ?
Thanks for upload the soundtrack Bigsharkz.
Excelent work :D.
it would be pretty cool if you uploaded all of them separately in a playlist
Poo, we have a lot to do for our world now. Chances may be slim, but I know you can do it.
"I miss you" yeah I miss you too Ness, its a shame you became a ball of evil that made a bug go insane to the point even after death it still was suffering...but hey at least you still you're happy.
yeah buzz buzz was a real one, poor dude.
Thank you very much for this. I loved the soundtrack they used and was hoping somebody would upload it sooner or later
for some reason Otherworldly Revenge reminds me of Metroid Prime a bit, also I didn't notice until now but Starman Prime's battle background is very similar to the Masked Man's battle background from Mother 3, I wonder if there's any significance to that?
49:43 You can see Buzz Buzz to that blue form of giygas...
i love this but when are yo u gonna give us the ost for giygarfield ? 😢
I felt Bad for Buzz buzz:(
Oh hey! I guess he did release the soundtrack! Awesome!
Just like in Earthbound, the amount of music for the length of the game is kinda nuts.
Also, is the names of the levels in the debug menu is the names of fortune parts of Buzzbound? So if that is true. Then the next part is Paulacult, which I guess is focused on Paula as the main villain.
I was actually thinking it showed other parts of the story from different POV before Buzz-Buzz arrived, as they have location names for places BuzzBound hasn't visited yet.
@@TheRedJadex I really like that idea, especially if we find out what happened to Jeff. Because the is the only main character that doesn't show up in the first part and I would love to know what happened to him in this alternate and dark timeline of Earthbound.
I for one am very interested to see what the Paulacult is all about.
@@praisethecarpainter1025 I am with you there, I really want to see what exactly it is about and what happened to Paula in this dark timeline.
It could also be a weird cult about paula, seeing as none of the heroes knew of the danger, maybe the people here made some cult thinking paula would save them or something.
I need the pic of the creepy looking Ness from the menu screen
29:34 Peak
True I just came for this mix it's so dirty
Buzz up babe, bigsharks released excelent music.
Has anyone noticed that "Last Pulse of a Broken Heart" is actually just a remixed version of "Rainbow Cemetary" from Castlevania SoTN?
buzzbound - shadows of giygas rom
Can you make an extension of Otherworldly Revenge?
Hey! Question, will you do the rest of the episodes as they're named in the Debug List? or was it just a single episode?
apparently he plans to do more.
Straight fire 🗣🔥🗣🔥
..But from the depths hell 🔥🐝🔥
Ok, it's good and all, but... How can I download it separately? (And Otherworldly Revenge slaps hard, I love it)
would've been nice for you to divide it up into those chapters things so we could loop them individually
but it's whatever
They’re already in chapters.
@@infinityheart_tm9270 they weren't when i posted the comment
Is it possible to get a download to these all so I can listen to them individually?
i need starman prime carnally
Nice bound… when ya posting ost’s for other rom hacks
Dude, youre a saint.
When will you actually send the rom hack to us for scavenging, though?
Where's that cryptic "I miss you" sample taken from?
from the game credits
In "mother earths last chapter" is a remix of long shadows and if your the type of person that loves mother earth (our planet) this piece of ost can make you shed a tear
Thanks!
it's Time
I need this extended versión OST damn
ow the edge
sugoi!! nya new video, so kawaii~! ^0^
what
question, will you ever release the rom hack? or its merely for artistic porpuses?
20:30 i love this ost 😔❤️
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE SOUNDTRACK TO DROP!!
Thanks.
