Earthbound - Kraken Of The Sea

[Tawp64]

Favorite part of the game by far. When you think of a Kraken, you think of squidward + steroids, but in Earthbound, you get smiley bloody snake.

[joelcll]

Why does that look like some lazy design done in a few minutes by an uninspired ten year old?

I mean, most monsters from the game look cartoonish, and i like that... but this one is just badly drawn ._.

[DoinkTonberry]

@joelcll

that was probably the best they could get for a sprite for a snes game.

[kaizoisevil]

RAAWR...I AM GOING TO KILL YOU JACK SPARROW-

wait, you're not jack sparrow. You're some random kid from the earthbound franchise?

[stars004]

Release the Kraken !

*Ness tries pkFlash β*

Kraken: FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU... *dies*

[ThemaskedSaturnDX518]

This video makes me remember that i tasted the kraken soup...YUM!

[Naruto3913]

...But will it blend?

[sba20041]

awesomeNESS

[mamamario64ds]

Im not tryinmg to complain, but the work for the kraken looks kind of sloppy. just a little.

[Noke0]

@mamamario64ds I don't see it as complaining. I mean hey it was back in the day, games were created for their fun. Look at the Metroid as a prime example. They pretty much look like Jellyfish?

[Pyro25100]

@Noke0 I see what you did there. "Look at METROID as a PRIME example" lol

Even if it was unintentional, it's still funny haha!

[Noke0]

@Pyro25100 It was completely unintentional. Lmao! Haha! Thanks for having me notice.

[Noke0]

ATTN: Just noticed this about the Kraken. If you look at his body especially right under his head, you can see what seems to be water and blood driplets going through his body? I don't know why he'd have just marks on his body, but it's interesting.

[mamamario64ds]

@Noke0 What? im talking about seeing lumps on the body of the kraken. Apperently this is after the battle.

[WalkthroughsMadeEasy]

@Noke0 I just noticed that The Kraken in this game... isnt even a Kraken... it's just a Sea Serpent.

[soopakoopavids]

@WalkthroughsMadeEasy Actualy it is. The original kraken was a sea serpent from Greek myth. It's just that the squid version from the Pirates of the Caribean is more well-known.

[Kola4DYT]

@Noke0

Those are veins and arteries. Some reptiles and amphibians have transparent skin.

[XNintendrewX]

I remember getting stuck where Ness had to solo like 3 of these in a row... I just avoid them on playthroughs now.

[burnacle]

This boss was a push over. This isn't even his theme either, you first hear if fighting those golden globes in the first desert.

[0822kitten]

@burnacle The title is Kraken of the Sea though...

OHNO THE GLOBES ARE KRAKENS RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

[Noke0]

@burnacle You are right, I would have definitely named the title something different. But the soundtrack titles says differently.

[thingforvids]

this guys easy, if you jave ness full pp

psi lifeup, attack,

when health is low psi lifeup again

[billyroflcopter]

Why's the Kraken a fire breather?

[Pyro25100]

@billyroflcopter Because the mother games are weird as hell xD

[Alexx1083]

Ah, this brings back fond memories of GETTING MY ASS KICKED. Also reminds me of praying - not Paula's ability, but my own praying that I don't get killed again. Dunno how many times I fought this guy when I originally played this.

[MudkipnTreecko]

Am I The Only Person That Thinks About Spiderman N64 When Listening To This?

[CpnGame]

As opposed to Kraken of the Dumpster Behind the Seven-Eleven.

[Delfino224]

@CpnGame LOL

RELEASE THE KRAKEN

[rederci939]

Thirty bucks says if NoA releases EarthBound on VC (which I doubt in the first place :( ) that they'll remove the blood around the Kraken's mouth...

[tryetryetrye]

@rederci939 You're on it >:)

[slightlyoutofreach01]

@rederci939 It's rather doubtful. Nintendo's censorship policies were ridiculously strict back then(compared to now), and it was left alone. There's no reason to assume Nintendo would tamper with it on the Wii.

[OmegaBeast10]

Kraken \o/

[dschultz6072]

if i heard this song while on mushrooms i would probably end up in san quentin and you'd see me on lockup.

[Alexx1083]

They should replace his fangs with glowsticks.

[rickywolfy]

Release the Kraken!!!!

[JohnnyFruehauf]

That fucker is grinnin'! POP EM' WITH THE SLIPPERS!!!

[Karsynable]

i always wondered if that was blood on its mouth

[devil19x]

release the kraken *XD XD XD i am gonna get thumb down for that*

[GeneralPatton89]

Theres no way that can be lava. It looks like blood.

[AlbertWikowonkavitz]

[Alf1XYZ]

The First part is easter egged in Wario Ware DIY, tap the fat robot instrument and... Surprise!

[MutohMech]

I like to think that Kraken ate a bunch of fishes before battling the gang whenever I see the blood at his mouth.

[SirZippety56]

@MutohMech either that or the kraken is a female and fails at putting lipstick on

[richardplexx]

@SirZippety56 to be fair, it has no arms, and gigantic fangs, must be pretty hard putting on lipstick

[LucarioRulez75]

@richardplexx thats not lip stick, its blood.

[MutohMech]

@SirZippety56

So true.

[RaxusCarnelli]

@SirZippety56 I think that's blood from THE SAILORS IT ATE!

[SirZippety56]

@RaxusCarnelli that was a joke smart one

[evanfire30]

TECHNO KRACKEN!

[supermariobros1233]

earthbound has weird things that could exsist actually maybe kraken of the sea is real for now no one really is shure but some wierd things land on the beaches...

[Tradanbattlan]

I am thinking of using ORG maker to mash up this song with Pixel's "Eyes of Flame," but I can't write music worth shit. If anyone would be so kind to write it for me, I'll get the song itself churned out and uploaded. I'll credit you in the writing of it.

[toyotasupramaster]

What's crackin'? This foe doesn't drops anything so you better just bash it until it breaths the SHIT out of him.

[starhida]

This battle was insanly easy for me. XD I thought I was overlevaled again and I was, but I also had the franklin badge and flame pelendent on Ness. (not to meantion Rockin gamma. =D)

[Ironstringz]

@starhida I went on the boat and when I was in the middle of the sea I was thinking "OH SHIT I FORGOT BOTTLE ROCKETS I'M FUCKED" but then I kicked his ass with ease and I was like "Well, that wasn't too bad"

[starhida]

@Ironstringz

lol. XD

[Lordneoify]

Kraken, you say? *Looks at it breathin fire* o.O

[NessLover94]

this bgm is scary.

[MettanAtem]

This is my favorite battle song in the game.

[Earthboundfan33]

does the krakken have blood on its teeth

[NessPeppyTails]

It's either the lava of the fire on his mouth or those are just marks like on his tail.

[Earthboundfan33]

That is good to know the reason i thought about that was Because my sister said that it was blood

[NessPeppyTails]

Yeah, but i wouldn't think EarthBound would just go to rated T or M like that. But yeah, it kinda looks like blood. ^_^

[MasterYoda320]

gotta love Kraken

[MegaMan7045]

I think this was my favorite boss theme and boss fight in the game. The Boss itself is cool and the music is really cool;

all techno-ified

[NessPeppyTails]

Let's get Kraken!

[GreatHylianKing]

@NessPeppyTails *Bad pun*

[ThePotterman10]

@NessPeppyTails *Chuggaconroy reference*

[Supermario546]
