Another interesting analysis video! Thanks for uploading! The prayer strategies it uses are really neat to hear about! I love it when an RPG run has some kind of wacky tactics for battle!
There's admittedly been something about the end of EarthBound that I've kinda wondered about… After Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo defeat Giygas, it's only the souls inside them that return back to their human bodies. But like, the brains would still be in the robots (an earlier cutscene giving an audible inferral that each of the kids' brains were drilled out). Does this mean that the main four literally have no brains at the very end of the game, with their natural consciousness forever stuck in another time period, or was there something I missed?
I always thought of it as Andonuts just creating a mechanical replica of their brains since he says brain "program" instead of just brain. Plus, they establish that organic life is destroyed when wrapping to the past, via phase distorter, so it would make more sense for the brains to be mechanical replicas instead of actual brains, since the brain is well, organic.
Although not games I’m big into regarding speedruns, you may have some interesting content to talk about with the N64 Zelda games speedruns as I’ve heard they utilize some rather wild glitches. Also, although maybe a bit out of what you usually do, you could also talk about “BEN DROWNED” since it’s a horror story built entirely around Zelda gitches.
7:48 I choose to roll with the idea that Ness passes out, falls down the stairs, and has a fever dream that he beats the whole game in ten minutes.
Buzz Buzz is actually a rhinoceros beetle. Thats why he tells you he's not a bee.

Every RPG lover should play Mother 2 and 3, they're a gem, specially the 3rd one since never made it out of Japan officially.

Actually that is a good question. Either that or the story is just like "nah they just got their brains back don't question it" lol.
