Did you ever think about how the Mani Mani Statue is most likely buried under the Minch family house? Pokey follows it around everywhere, and his family is ill mannered, save for his little brother who might just be too young to be actually affected by the thing. I mean, Liar had to dig the thing up. And he did it going to the right of his house...
I legit never thought of that. But it makes so much sense! Pokey is naturally negative, so of course he's going to follow the statue of evil to anywhere it goes.
Earthbound's anti-piracy features are even better than a NPC simply saying whether or not you have a controller in your hands. If the game is pirated, it won't load, and you'll get an error message. If you somehow get around that, the game is extremely difficult, with enemies being OP'ed, and even spawning in areas that are normally enemy-free. IF you get to the final boss, the game crashes, and when you reset the game, you'll find all your progress deleted
I’d like to think that young kids receiving a pirated game came across this event and believed that Giygas used its incredible power to delete your game
I'm surprised that's not already a thing. Like if you pick the stage, there's a chance you'll get Moonside instead. And if you see NPCs wandering around and hit them, they'll warp you around the stage.
Well Layers 1 and 2 are your typical run of the mill stuff. Just screens that tell you you're playing a pirated copy. Layer 3 is where the real fun begins. The game plays normally, BUT the enemy spawn rate becomes ludicrous, almost to the point of unplayability. Layer 4 is still a mystery to this day, but it exists... maybe... and then there's Layer 5. OH BOY LAYER 5. If you can manage to get to the end of the game with the increased spawn rate, which is a feat in itself, you can actually fight the final boss. There is a catch though. At a certain point during the final boss, the game will hang. No big deal right? You can just reset the game! But when you do, it wipes ALL OF YOUR DATA. ALL OF IT. There's a video of it floating around and it's pretty insane.
@@pmrobin8 the first layer simply checks to see if you're playing on a PAL region system. If you are, the game shows you a screen telling you the game is only built for ntsc systems, then freezes. The second layer checks to see how much RAM is on the cartridge. If there's more than there should be, which there usually is on pirated carts, the game shows a screen saying that piracy is a crime, then freezes. Most pirates would edit some code to disable the previous check, which is where the third layer comes in. The third layer checks to see if the previous check was bypassed in any way or if it didn't occur. If the programming sees that something isn't right, it adds a LOT more enemies to the game, to make it less enjoyable. The game will then check several more times throughout the game, but it isn't clear what these do, if anything. The final layer occurs once you reach the final boss. Right before the fight with Giygas, the game freezes. When the player resets the system, they'll find out that all of their files have been deleted. That is the amazing copyright protection of Earthbound.
@@dimentiorules not only are spawn rates cranked, but these new battles also have a high chance of a game crash, usually due to absurdly high levels of exp, or item drops for items that don't exist, like Null and Video Relaxant. They also spawn in places that were once peaceful, like Saturn Valley among others.
7:18 Hey Chugga, Skullgirls already did this for a piracy check. Well, same concept anyways. It asked you what is the square root of a fish randomly or after kicking you out of the ending (no endings for you if you pirate). People got freaked out and asked the very company who made Skullgirls. And then the company flat out told them they were a bunch of pirates
The concept he was talking about is something along the lines of NPC dialogue that usually points out something obvious about your system ("You have a controller in your hands") being a hidden check for piracy (possibly "You do not currently hold a controller. You are no longer in control", at which point the game would crash).
The game Game Dev Tycoon where you have to create games and advance on how successful they get, at some point you will fail because you're "game" was pirated a lot
@Elijah & Dimentio; I already know of the anti-piracy. With how many layers it got, it's kind of irrelevant to include another layer on top of some rando NPC. @Mani: You're right, that's another example. People once again got freaked our and asked the very company that made the game. Only to get outed as a bunch of pirates.
*ness and Jeff face the Dali’s clock* Ness: this is going to be easy Dali’s Clock: Za Warudo Ness: Excuse me wha- *time stops* Jeff: Well I’m still active *Jeff looks at frozen ness* *Jeff smiles devilishly*
16:00 That "Moonside flip" of the hotel morning wakeup sequence always made me think of screeching bats... that and the near nausea-inducing speed of the music made this my "OK, we are _really_ not in Kansas anymore, that's for frakkin' sure, Toto" moment of this game.
So let me get this straight, you go to a café, check behind the desk, and wonder off into an unreal hallucination until you break a statue. What did you put in that coffee Mr. Saturn?!?!
yup! using the L button is a quick-bind to both "check" and "talk". the game will first check if there's anything you can "talk" to when you press it, then if not, will do a "check".
Talking to the backwards counting guy over and over, you can watch him count down lower, get to zero, then shout kaboom! He became a lot more interesting after I talked to him again on accident. Also you can only use the hotel once in moonside.
Note to self: Don't eat the jetpacks in this dimension, even though their made of shrimp. In other news, eggplants are a paperclip's biggest predator. Although, I did hear gasoline is a rich source of Vitamin Z. Man, I love that band... The moon does some straaange spaghetti...
BUT, despite that, be sure to NOT feed the tree, for he has his own crumbs of plastic. He think they good, so he applies earplugs to them. Mmm... Earplugs...
Yeah, I heard that those grass rocks aren't the best things to be eating through your nose. Makes your intestines vomit brains, apparently. But as long as you avoid the banana strobes here, you should be ok.
Wow you guys, check it out! Apperantly, these bedsheets are immune to the color green! Now, if anyone tells you that a drawbridge can't go on the internet, shove a chocolate coconut dresser in their face!
No, I was looking forward to one of the tripiest moments in Earthbound. 5:12 Maybe he’s just some poor soul from your world who managed to get trapped here. 6:19 ZA OBVIOUS REFERENCE! TOKI WO TOMARE! 7:23 Hey man, you can’t prove nothing! For all you know, he could be controlling the game with his mind. 19:17 Ah! I finally understood what that guy meant! And here I was thinking that *that* wouldn’t be repaired. How I’d forgotten. 21:40 Wait, so does that mean the epilogue is a glorified cutscene? Because the whole “dying and then being stuck at a black screen” is one of the best known glitches in the epilogue.
I'm not going to lie, but the first time I saw moonside I thought it was entered by drinking the "protein drinks" Also, Moonside sounds similar to Moonshine...
Moonside completely freaked me out when I was a kid, to the point that I still usually try to rush through it as fast as I can (while still getting the Night Pendant).
Earthbound does have a different antipiracy method though: enemies are made much tougher, and the game outright crashes on the final battle, as well as deletes your save.
That guy with the sunglasses is the whole reason why you choose something immature like Babies or Drugs among other unsavory things as Ness' favorite food. That and another location. Anyways, what happened with Evil Mani Mani is the reason why, whenever I'm playing EarthBound, I am soft banning Big Bottle Rockets and outright ban Multi Bottle Rockets. Put simply, they're overpowered and they remove all challenge from bosses, especially the Multi Bottle Rocket when you min-max Jeff's Speed, not Luck. Only when regular Bottle Rockets are no longer available and everyone can consistently do 300-600 damage per attack do I allow myself to use Big Bottle Rockets.
I'd say they're fine as an option to make the game easier for people who have difficulty with it since there's very very few cases of "finding" them rather than going out to buy them as you need them. the only time I'd feel tempted to use them normally is in the ness-only opening stages of the game, when they're not available.
my first time in Moonside, I was constantly panicking. It was _awful_ and it was _hard_ and I had no clue what to do and everyone was attacking me and the Mani-Mani statue was so hard and it was _so freaking memorable I _*_loved_*_ it_
@Eric Vilas I accidentally overleveled so it as a piece of cake. The whole place was much shorter and easier to find my way around than I expected. But yet... moonside is just so unique and memorable no matter what. I love it
I want everyone to know I was stuck on Moonside for like 3 hours and I was starting at the screen so much it gave me a minor headache. I mean sheesh its so hard to navigate.
Chugga has taught me to explore everything I can, thanks to that I have learned that they put the ghosts and zombies in the animal cages in Threed after you save the town! Thanks for making me interested in this game Chugga!
I have a few guesses to explain the anomaly of the hitbox of the sign at 10:56. 1. The game checks for a "bottom" collision before it checks for top and a button press to open up the text box. This means that the game will check for collision in some order that goes bottom before top. 2. The game checks for a collision and button press with Ness and the man before it checks for a sign, prioritizing the man. This is not a solidified fact, this is just something I made up from programming things.
I don't think it's a top and bottom thing. I think it's more like "if within range of NPC, talk; if within range of object, check". It meets the first condition and never gets to the second.
I know I'm just a comment on UA-cam, and I'll be lost and mixed in with all the others, but as someone who has had to say goodbye to my friends, home, and even my girlfriend on account of going to college, I want to express my gratitude for how much this helps me to deal with it. Thanks for making me smile. It really means a lot
Fun fact for those who don't know: the music for Moonside is a modified sample of the introduction to Ric Ocasek's 1986 song "Keep on Laughing"; in a way, you can think of Moonside's theme as vaporwave before vaporwave was even a known thing.
"well, time to go bust up my face." now i can't shake the mental image of Ness trying to coax Jeff into smashing him in the face with his own bat to get past this guy lmao
Moonside is so out there and zany, and confusing as hell to go through for first-time players. And yet, you handled that statue so easily. I expected that fight to go much longer.
6:18 "The Dali's Clock froze you in time" is this a motherhecking *Jojo's refrence?* ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAOORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA
With how trippy Moonside's color palette is and with all the avant garde enemies and people, I can't help but think Moonside also draws inspiration from Pink Floyd's album "Dark Side of the Moon".
Another thing about the backgrounds, most normal enemies' battle backgrounds take up the middle third of the screen, leaving the top and bottom thirds of the screen black. But for bosses, and every enemy in moonside, it takes up the whole screen.
I remember you said the quote on 9:36 in okami. I forgot which episode you said it for the intro but okami was awesome. All I remember is that it was in the sunken ship.
12:48 I think that the joke there is that he didn't start at 257. Like how we start counting from 0 and go closer to infinity, he started at infinity and is working towards 0.
Iv been playing, but saddly the emulator I was playing on and I got stuck at a Dad Glitch where he asked me to turn off the SNES (And because it doesnt actually save, and I save stated right then because im a idiot Ill have to see if I can save edit or something) on a side note, heres my Dad Moments (Also got a PSI Item from one of the cultists, yay 1/128 items)Earthbound, Hello its your Dad moments First Playthrough Dad Called me on the road as I was going to Apple Kid, wasn’t expecting it Dad Called me after entering the second room of the Hotel in Threed while chasing the Girl Dad Called me after Beating a Slime and 2 Very Bad Flys After getting defeated by Records after losing Paula in 4 Side, and it respawned me back in Satern Valley, I got called right after entering the first Tunnel on bus to Fourside I was getting luck to I got 2 Oh Baby Offense 6, 1 Oh Baby Offense 5, and 4, Oh Baby Offense 4s for Ness...and a Oh Baby IQ plus for 4
ethan ensley I wouldn’t play on an emulator. At the final boss it checks if you are playing a real copy of the game or not and if you aren’t it erases all your data
Im using a Online Emulator (Emulator online Actually) and when you Do a save state it replaces your last Save State, I do not believe it keeps back ups
If you can, I’d probably recommend not playing on an emulator. As in, I was going to emulate it but the virtrual console on the 3ds is around £9 and it’s even less for the WiiU, I think it was £8. (Idk where your from, so those are the prices in the UK) if you own a WiiU/3DS I’d recommend just buying that, obviously if you don’t... you’re a bit stuck. Idk, but I’ve heard people say that the game checks if your copy is emulated and deletes your save data on the final boss? So if you can, I probably wouldn’t risk it.
I wish I did have a Wii U XP, none the less, Ill probably just wait then unless I can find a safe editor or something, that or Ill try and see if I cant recover my last Save State where ever it is
The mani mani statue might seem to only generate illusions, but remember that the night pendant and the handbag strap were physical items obtained from said illusion.
I totally get the dialogue about how mr monotoli would never walk into the cafe because the guy sitting at the table says he hopes mr monotoli will show up soon....and so essentially that guy will be sitting in the cafe for a vveeeerrrryyyy long time.
The Evil Mani Mani's battle background is the same as the Masked Man's background in Mother 3. Mani is the Norse God of the Moon, which may be where the name "Moonside" comes from.
Such a great point about how the text could have read something different if a piracy detection routine was triggered. What a missed opportunity. However, I have heard that this game really does have a piracy detection routine in place. It's suppose to make the end of the game swarm with enemies that are super tough and ultimately delete your saves. As for this accidentally triggered message you mentioned. I'm pondering on that earlier video, where you triggered all kinds of messages on one spot in that tent. Perhaps, Moonside has another such odd spot and it just called forth that bit of text. Which, I suppose would just be another little hidden 'thing' about this game.
If the kid was counting backwards,that means the number he started with was an infinite unquantifiable number,meaning he has been counting for what could literally be the beginning of time.
Replayed this game, I got to the Mani Mani Statue. 1st two moves: 666 damage with the Big bottle rocket, then the enemy fainted after Flash β. I’m surprised I got the 1/8 instakill chance
This episode: BREAKING THE MYSTERIES OF FOURSIDE! Part 5. We explore Moonside to try and fight the source of all evils in Eagleland, the Mani Mani statue.
With that Ness' and Jeff's HP drops to 0 line, it reminds me of t he reset joke in the Dream Team ending for Chrono Trigger. When I first saw that line I hadn't talked to everyone yet and I didn't even know what I did to get the ending so I was freaking out that it was over just like that.
Did you ever think about how the Mani Mani Statue is most likely buried under the Minch family house? Pokey follows it around everywhere, and his family is ill mannered, save for his little brother who might just be too young to be actually affected by the thing. I mean, Liar had to dig the thing up. And he did it going to the right of his house...
Oh my God, that's brilliant...! :O
Never actually thought about that
This could be the reason why Pokey became evil!
It was at least very close to the Minch house. If it wasn't UNDER the house, it would have been to the left inside the hill.
I legit never thought of that. But it makes so much sense! Pokey is naturally negative, so of course he's going to follow the statue of evil to anywhere it goes.
I freaking love moonside. such a unique looking location

I've heard that after the Game freezes on Giygas and all your progress is deleted, you are unable to make a new save, rendering the Game unplayable.
What would people think about a Moonside stage in Smash Bros? Fourside, but horizontally flipped and with the Mani Mani as a stage boss.
And even more neon
I would think you are genius
Ha take that!
Technically, the Fourside Stage is a mix of Fourside and Moonside
So.. an “echo stage”?
I'm surprised that's not already a thing. Like if you pick the stage, there's a chance you'll get Moonside instead. And if you see NPCs wandering around and hit them, they'll warp you around the stage.

One thing I've noticed about signs on Earthbound is that if an NPC is near it, talking to the NPC will take priority over reading the sign.
That sounds like a programming glitch. Or something.
yup! using the L button is a quick-bind to both "check" and "talk". the game will first check if there's anything you can "talk" to when you press it, then if not, will do a "check".

Well, that NPC wasn't kidding when he said you'll end up frying your brain if you're there for too long, in your case.
how could just one enclosed room possibly be that hard to navigate?
You thought it would be Dali's clock but it was I!
*You fool, you fell for it! THUNDER CROSS SPLIT ATTACK!!!*
Hey Chugga! Did you ever get the pizza air freshener? Thanks for this video btw
*Bump*
He said he'd update if there was an... update.
Still waiting on a reply!

Chugga, for your next LP, please do Fantasy Life, Because it's really cute! and that's all i'll say without giving away spoilers.
Chugga has taught me to explore everything I can, thanks to that I have learned that they put the ghosts and zombies in the animal cages in Threed after you save the town! Thanks for making me interested in this game Chugga!

I am so happy you decided to replay this series! Thank you Chugga!
Huh
I guess I am not alone in thinking that the text box was strange for appearing in the corner
I thought it was a glitch though when I first saw it
“This is the Dark Moon Hotel.
One sleep period is $150.
Do you want to sleep?”
Chugga: I always wanted to be king boo
I hate it when i go in a little drawer and end up in an alternate dimension.
I know...this happens way to often. It's so annoying, i just wanted a pen and this happens.
Well, that explains that bones reference in the Pokémon white play through
There were no gay baby jails in this episode

Yes
@@shadowsableyexd2660 That sucks
Yes i know what is ment with the gbj counter. But no i understand this writing
I have a few guesses to explain the anomaly of the hitbox of the sign at 10:56.
1. The game checks for a "bottom" collision before it checks for top and a button press to open up the text box. This means that the game will check for collision in some order that goes bottom before top.
2. The game checks for a collision and button press with Ness and the man before it checks for a sign, prioritizing the man.
This is not a solidified fact, this is just something I made up from programming things.
I don't think it's a top and bottom thing. I think it's more like "if within range of NPC, talk; if within range of object, check". It meets the first condition and never gets to the second.
I can see you have illegal software in your hands
I absolutely lost it at 9:30. I always though it was something you came up with in your Okami let's play! I had to pick up my jaw off the floor
At 7:19, that's actually been done in quite a few games. In some cases, the game even prevents the player from completing the game in the first place.
Such as this game for the latter.
At least it's better than Denuvo.
@@Iris_Descent in the pirated version if you try to fight the final boss,it'll erase your save data
Stage Media so giygas knows what you have done
apparently there is 5 layers of it with the 3rd one being ridiculous spawn rates and the final one erasing your save data on the final bose
me: trying earthbound then getting stuck, this guy helps me the most
So if everything is the opposite...
does that include genders?
...I'm sorry.
Also that is not a lot of likes

Let me not undo that.

Your not welcome.
I know I'm just a comment on UA-cam, and I'll be lost and mixed in with all the others, but as someone who has had to say goodbye to my friends, home, and even my girlfriend on account of going to college, I want to express my gratitude for how much this helps me to deal with it. Thanks for making me smile. It really means a lot
I'd like chugga to show me his moonside. Wait what?
Fun fact for those who don't know: the music for Moonside is a modified sample of the introduction to Ric Ocasek's 1986 song "Keep on Laughing"; in a way, you can think of Moonside's theme as vaporwave before vaporwave was even a known thing.
Backfiring thy name is beeeeef~!
Ness’s mother went to that false reality to tell that guy that
"well, time to go bust up my face."
now i can't shake the mental image of Ness trying to coax Jeff into smashing him in the face with his own bat to get past this guy lmao
I’m sensitive to sounds and smells, not light.

I'll tell ya what I hate in this world. That's Bepis. The color, the smell, the taste, the texture... Hey you, you're drooling!
Moon side? Where is sun side? Star side?
EarthSide
Moonside is so out there and zany, and confusing as hell to go through for first-time players. And yet, you handled that statue so easily. I expected that fight to go much longer.

I'm always so pumped when these earthbound episodes come out! It's a great way to end the summer, so thanks for doing this! Keep up the great work. c:
I got a Xenoblade ad before the video
Haha same
Which one? One or two?
With how trippy Moonside's color palette is and with all the avant garde enemies and people, I can't help but think Moonside also draws inspiration from Pink Floyd's album "Dark Side of the Moon".
Moonside? Looks like things are going to get DARK here. I know this episode with be FULL of good content though!
I'll see myself out.
When you take the moon and you take the sun! You take everything from yes as no! It doesn’t mater on how it is done.
Finally! This darn LP returns!
Another thing about the backgrounds, most normal enemies' battle backgrounds take up the middle third of the screen, leaving the top and bottom thirds of the screen black. But for bosses, and every enemy in moonside, it takes up the whole screen.
''Dali's clock is the only enemy that can stop time''
Wait a minute.
Dali's Clock has DIO in it!
DIO is in EARTHBOUND
I remember you said the quote on 9:36 in okami. I forgot which episode you said it for the intro but okami was awesome. All I remember is that it was in the sunken ship.
Love ya chugga
Moonside is such an interesting area! Plus, the painting Mal did over on MalMakes of it is pretty awesome!
Notifications are great. Especially when you get to see "No Views"
I know how that feels. :3
your right! xd
12:48 I think that the joke there is that he didn't start at 257. Like how we start counting from 0 and go closer to infinity, he started at infinity and is working towards 0.
Hey do you like trees? Also I love your content
9:32 *That one intro you did in Okami finally makes sense now oh my goooood*
Iv been playing, but saddly the emulator I was playing on and I got stuck at a Dad Glitch where he asked me to turn off the SNES (And because it doesnt actually save, and I save stated right then because im a idiot Ill have to see if I can save edit or something) on a side note, heres my Dad Moments (Also got a PSI Item from one of the cultists, yay 1/128 items)Earthbound, Hello its your Dad moments
First Playthrough
Dad Called me on the road as I was going to Apple Kid, wasn’t expecting it
Dad Called me after entering the second room of the Hotel in Threed while chasing the Girl
Dad Called me after Beating a Slime and 2 Very Bad Flys
After getting defeated by Records after losing Paula in 4 Side, and it respawned me back in Satern Valley, I got called right after entering the first Tunnel on bus to Fourside
I was getting luck to I got 2 Oh Baby Offense 6, 1 Oh Baby Offense 5, and 4, Oh Baby Offense 4s for Ness...and a Oh Baby IQ plus for 4
Does your emulator not do autosaves and keep backups?
ethan ensley I wouldn’t play on an emulator. At the final boss it checks if you are playing a real copy of the game or not and if you aren’t it erases all your data
Im using a Online Emulator (Emulator online Actually) and when you Do a save state it replaces your last Save State, I do not believe it keeps back ups
If you can, I’d probably recommend not playing on an emulator. As in, I was going to emulate it but the virtrual console on the 3ds is around £9 and it’s even less for the WiiU, I think it was £8. (Idk where your from, so those are the prices in the UK) if you own a WiiU/3DS I’d recommend just buying that, obviously if you don’t... you’re a bit stuck. Idk, but I’ve heard people say that the game checks if your copy is emulated and deletes your save data on the final boss? So if you can, I probably wouldn’t risk it.
I wish I did have a Wii U XP, none the less, Ill probably just wait then unless I can find a safe editor or something, that or Ill try and see if I cant recover my last Save State where ever it is
The mani mani statue might seem to only generate illusions, but remember that the night pendant and the handbag strap were physical items obtained from said illusion.

Com well little ones. May you slumber, nothing is wrong. Only right, here in Moonside. Soonmide? Goodnight, forever.
yes u
I totally get the dialogue about how mr monotoli would never walk into the cafe because the guy sitting at the table says he hopes mr monotoli will show up soon....and so essentially that guy will be sitting in the cafe for a vveeeerrrryyyy long time.
The Evil Mani Mani's battle background is the same as the Masked Man's background in Mother 3. Mani is the Norse God of the Moon, which may be where the name "Moonside" comes from.
I was about to point this out! Seeing it again after playing Mother 3 made me do a double take.
Moonside is something straight out of my oddest dreams (borderline nightmares), especially the “glitchy” text.
Such a great point about how the text could have read something different if a piracy detection routine was triggered. What a missed opportunity. However, I have heard that this game really does have a piracy detection routine in place. It's suppose to make the end of the game swarm with enemies that are super tough and ultimately delete your saves.
As for this accidentally triggered message you mentioned. I'm pondering on that earlier video, where you triggered all kinds of messages on one spot in that tent. Perhaps, Moonside has another such odd spot and it just called forth that bit of text. Which, I suppose would just be another little hidden 'thing' about this game.
So the statue allows us to see the world as Emile sees it.
Escargo Express treats your package as if it was their only child, but they also have a "neglected" class... That says a lot
"No" means "yes" in Moonside, and that's why it will never get re-released.
This is what I needed. I had a terrible day but chugga made it so much better.
8:37 that NPC blocked the enemy from catching you
he MUST be one of the four chosen ones!
Every time I see “beeeef,” I can’t help but think of that video where that little kid just says “I smell like beeeeeeeeeef!”
The Dali's Clock is straight up based on one of Dali's paintings that had melting clocks in it.
I remember playing EarthBound for the first time, and the music change for waking up in the hotel scared the bejesus out of me
If the kid was counting backwards,that means the number he started with was an infinite unquantifiable number,meaning he has been counting for what could literally be the beginning of time.
Replayed this game, I got to the Mani Mani Statue. 1st two moves: 666 damage with the Big bottle rocket, then the enemy fainted after Flash β. I’m surprised I got the 1/8 instakill chance
This episode: BREAKING THE MYSTERIES OF FOURSIDE! Part 5.
We explore Moonside to try and fight the source of all evils in Eagleland, the Mani Mani statue.
With that Ness' and Jeff's HP drops to 0 line, it reminds me of t he reset joke in the Dream Team ending for Chrono Trigger. When I first saw that line I hadn't talked to everyone yet and I didn't even know what I did to get the ending so I was freaking out that it was over just like that.
How did they even make these backgrounds for the fights? They're trippy as hell and I love it
