    You know why the giant moles in the mine all claim to be the third strongest? Its because each mole fought each other mole one-on-one, and they each won twice and lost twice since they're identical. So they think they're the third most powerful.

    "A shop that serves pencil" seems like a very EarthBound line. Almost strange to me that they changed it to be more "proper".

    Absolutely incredible there’s still new stuff being found for Earthbound. All of these new bits of trivia are hella cool! Like that there was going to be a scene that bridged that gap after being jumped in Threed. That bulletin board pun and how it’s partially localized is really neat too. Just love the Mother series so much.

    18:13 lol imagine if you played mother 2 after mother 1 and they kept this scene intact. you go in and the game gives you the option to sing to gyiyg and you think it's just gonna be another fight like the first game, so you do and nothing happens, and then porky calls you a dumbass lmao
    also the running gag with the signs wouldve been so interesting too im sad these were removed over time, imo these wouldve made the game even better even if you didnt have context from the previous game or anything.

    MAD respect to fan translators like Aeon Genesis and of course Clive Mandelin with MOTHER 3. I'm an Evangelion fan, so I know it's hard as shit to translate Japanese to English especially in the context of a game, movie, or series since they're constantly moving and have space limits like lip flaps or dialogue boxes, so guys going out of their way to translate ENTIRE RPGS solely out of love and passion is absolutely insane and they deserve all the recognition in the world.

    When we talk about Earthbound we always refer to its mechanics, gameplay and its characteristics, from the smallest to the largest, however when we talk about these moments no one can forget that strange moment of the Monotoli tower when we reached the 48th floor, In the long corridor that connected the elevator and some doors, 2 of the rest could be distinguished, one with a red glass, and the other with a blue glass (you could say that they were the bathrooms), and when you approached these doors you could not pass , only a dialogue appeared that said "*groan" when you tried to enter one of the doors, as a child one could think that it was someone hurt, but now as an adult one can say that that was not the meaning of that message, maybe if and we are all misguided but for me it is something extremely strange. Honestly it is a particular detail of this game, as something that could seem like something for children 12 and up hid this little detail in the Monotoli tower, which is in Fourside.

    Just found your channel, any chance you might want to cover Monster Party for the nes? It has a fairly interesting backstory of how it was a huge parody game that had to have major changes to be released in the US and was still never released in Japan and for years we all thought the original version was lost only to have someone find a rom of the original a few years ago

    I would bet the bad pun guy in the bar being named "Jimmy" is actually a reference to a famous comedian in Japan named Jimmy. There's even a docu-drama about him on netflix titled "Jimmy: The True Story of a True Idiot"

    i feel like once porkey got cut off from giygas, he wasn't able to time travel with his body intact, and eventually figured out to to do it like you do in the robots, which is how he gets the letter to you. i havn't played mother 3 to know if it ties to him being old like that or it really felt like that is what they were going for on that scene with letter at the time

    i came across an electronic song from 1988 that sounds like it was the idea for the Kraken of the sea ost?~~~ " Zsa Zsa Laboum - Something Scary"

    4:49 I think it would make sense for the reason they got rid of that whole interaction is because A the guy is fighting you for no reason he would be the only character you fight with no relation to giygus and B it overall wastes the players time with nothing to get out of it but maybe some humor

    I forget whose name you said it was, but Prettz caught my attention, there's this two episode OVA based roughly on Final Fantasy 5 where the main character is given the name Prettz, and, if you know your FF5, the main character was incorrectly translated to Bartz... but his name is actually Buttz. So, that's a weird name to just drop in out of nowhere.

    I think "pank" for "flat tire" is supposed to be a short hand for puncture, but in kana it would spell something like "pankuchaa". Hence "pank".

      That’s what I was thinking too! We do know that Itoi has at least seen Twin Peaks-he compared its “flavor” to the Tanetane Island sequence in MOTHER 3.
