Well, the man is multi talented. Not much of a surprise! But his strong suit really is writing, cause goddamn the mother games are so good from a humor and story standpoint, and that’s all thanks to Itoi.
I know this song is from this game, but do we count the songs from the first game as "Earthboundy?" I don't think songs like the one in Jeff's dorm should count
1:00 this part always takes me back to that weekend when I rode my bicycle to the game store, saw a giant game box at the top of the shelf with Earthbound written on it, and curiosity made me rent the game knowing absolutely nothing about it, and it ended being my favorite Snes game ever.
Sadly I just played the game on switch cuz: 1. I heard it was good and 2. I played it before but left it as I got dis encouraged at onett. But when I played the entire thing and going through it thinking it’s gonna be alright I started to LOVE it in the 2nd half.
@@kingofbel6499 idk. Objectively speaking. Each Mother game is equal. Mother 3 may have such a depressing story. But it doesn’t really mean its better. Much like The 2 other games before it, They all have a great story to tell with their themes. In reality, from Mother 1, Mother 2, and Mother 3. They are all equal, with the only thing being gameplay.
@@redshell9205 emulation is not complicated, but it is risky. And if you want to not be risky? You have to buy one of those cartridge reader things, and those are complicated for people who are new.

Love the sound that sounds like random scattered chatter and noise. Pretty indescribable but it really encompasses the vibe and quality of all mainline SNES games and their soundtracks
@nah bro Sick man, literally music samplers back in the day the same way people like to do it today. Except today it's trendy to compress samples, back then they had no choice haha
Alright, I definitely wasn't expecting them to bring this back just for the like 30 seconds you spend inputting your actual name when Tony calls you in Summers.
It's weird, I remember when I was in my mother's womb and this music were playing while my parents were choosing a name for me, and when I was born it sound a much weirder sound like: ""WOW!"
I first heard this music from a Roblox game, and then like 8 years later, earthbound arrived on Nintendo switch online, I was always curious about this game, so i decided to try it for a while and immediately heard those recognizable bit crushed crowd sounds, and that just kind of got me into the game, i had no idea what i was in for too as i was playing the game totally blind, I went on to play through the two other games as well. Im so glad i got to enjoy after all.
I got to known to monty python thanks to this soundtrack. Thanks, Itoi for the eerieness feelings when you sampled the intro of that song. (RIP Chapman and Jones, You two will never forgotten by the fans.)
The entering noise is one of the many great parts of this segment of the game. You haven't even started yet, but the music and atmosphere is absolutely amazing!
Hah, I found this comment again when it has 69 likes, my favorite number. Nice. IT'S A SIGN, FROM THE [goods] THAT [there's more!] More what? I have no idea.
"Name him" "Name her too" "Name your friend" "Name another friend" "Name your pet" "What is your favorite homemade meal?" "What is your favorite thing?"
For ppl asking what the voice says, it says "Ok desu ka?" Which literally means "it's okay?". Later on in SSB series Ness says in his taunt "Ok Desu" which means "It's okay" as an answer for the question
It blows my mind that the Monty Python theme is hidden in this song. I became an Earthbound AND a Monty Python fan in 1995-1996, so it's just damn eerie -- subliminal.
@@JohnLucPicard98 i know this is a year ago but , just in case you're still waiting for an answer, it's the part at the beginning that sounds like random chatter. if you listen closely to that part, you can hear it.
Ok so I literally started playing earthbound for the first time this weekend and me and my brother spent a good 15 mins deciding on funny names for anyone. My highlights is that we called the main guy Kanye, the dog Bread and one of our best friends Roblo (there wasn't enough room for the X)
I first heard this on a Roblox game (Blamo) when I was younger. When I heard it a few weeks ago when I started Earthbound, I was glad to know where it came from!
I started playing this game for the first time on my Switch recently and it’s definitely odd, in a good way. It’s definitely not like other Super Nintendo games
Fun Facts: In the Japanese version, if you press "Don't care" 6 times, The characters will be renamed after the characters from Super Mario series. Ness to Mario, Paula to Peach, Jeff to Luigi, Poo to Kinopio (A Japanese name for "Toad") & King to Yoshi respectively.
For reference, the gradually slowed down sample you hear is from John Philip Sousa's "The Liberty March", more popularly known as the theme song from Monty Python's Flying Circus. So glad this game was made before the age of aggressive copyright law.
sent this to my dad a couple weeks ago cuz he loves most monty python shit but especially flying circus and his response was just ":)" ...think this game might be right up his alley.
I recently got earthbound on a weird gaming device that had like a 1000 pre-installed games like Earthbound, Pokemon FireRed, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario(the first game), and many more on it. It was my first playthrough about 28 years later. So might as well share what I named everything: "Name him": Ness "Name her": Paula "Name your friend": Jake "Name another friend": Timmy "Favorie Food?": Pasta "Name your pet": Doggo "Your favorite thing?": Sports

@@Guitarist500 besides the interview , just beat the game and he is under voice credits for " shiegesto ok"
Out of all the many tracks in Earthbound, I feel like this one is the Earthboundiest.
Winters white is up there but it’s more natural. Not beep boopby but I still like those songs haha
Sactuary theme tho
Yes and also weird opponent
I know this song is from this game, but do we count the songs from the first game as "Earthboundy?" I don't think songs like the one in Jeff's dorm should count
the monty python sample is fucking incredible. its odd, sure, but it sets the tone of the song and game so well. this game is a damn masterpiece.

The only thing that I see when listening to this is poo climbing up a invisible ladder super fast
Oh my god, that's what that animation is
