    TAS originally published on 2020-12-24
    EarthBound is a great RPG, designed by Shigesato Itoi in 1994-1995, and is also known by the name Mother 2.
    It is best described as "random", in a good way. The game has a great emphasis on a humor, and indeed many things in the game are almost caricatured, from subplots to characters. It also has a versatile soundtrack.
    In contrast to the in-bounds run of this game ( tasvideos.org/... ), this run skips most of the plot. There are several major collision detection bugs, including one showing that the Skip Sandwich is a fitting name for the item in ways the developers never intended. The author is able to move around the game's areas freely, completing the bare minimum number of tasks needed to keep the final battle from locking up.
    illayaya ( tasvideos.org/... ) improves the previous movie ( tasvideos.org/... ) by a minute and 20 seconds, thanks to a new route and better optimisation. Please read the author's comments ( tasvideos.org/... ) for more details.

    35:45 There's something extra epic about Paula praying from the bottom of her heart when she's in tears, all her friends are out, and she's down to her last hit point.

    Intro ends at 7:53
    It is an impressively clean intro though, so give it a watch unless you're absolutely sick of it.

    As cool of an item the Gutsy Bat is being the final best equipment for Ness, as a weapon in casual gameplay and real-time speedruns, it's never truly important for how late in the game it's obtainable (the Legendary Bat being in a present right next to it doesnt help its case either), but the fact that it was actually made incredibly useful in specifically only TAS's where the user cannot obtain a sudden guts pill and must rely on its built-in guts stat is truly amazing.

      In my life, there's always been a good mix of name variety in my groups of friends, with very few repeats.
      Kinda makes me wonder if any group ended up being like 5 guys named Chuck or something like that.
