  • Giegue-The form of Giegue's attack was inesplicable!

    Giygas-You cannot craps the true form Giygas attack!

  • This alien comes to earth to warn the children that they should be kind to eachother or be destroyed.

  • nerd gamw

  • the song where the ship rises just say death

  • where is teddy?

  • How did you get this game in english? It was never released in america. 

  • @Fawful99 NOA translated it in the early 90s but never officially released the game. Fast forward a few years, someone finds the prototype cartridge on eBay and dumps the ROM. The prototype is then released to the emulated gaming world via Demiforce Hack as EarthBound Zero, aka Mother.

  • those are some insane levels... i fought him with everybody under lvl 30 lol

  • What's the story of this game?

  • Alien race with psychic powers kidnaps George & Maria; they raise Giegue as their own. George somehow escapes and returns to Earth with knowledge of PSI, which begins to manifest in humans as result. Giegue's species orders him to stop it before humans can comepete/threaten them. Maria's memory/soul is trapped in a dream or something, has Ninten to remember the song she sang to Giegue when he was a baby. The PSI trauma of betraying his 'Mother' forces Giegue to retreat.

    He becomes Giygas.

  • This would have given me nightmares

  • That Alien Looks like Mewtwo o.o

  • @xXxCxiBunnyxXx It gets better. The developer for this game, Ape Inc, was later renamed creatures... the company that helped Game Freak make the original Pokemon in return for 1/3 of the ownership of the franchise. There are a LOT of connections between the Mother and Pokemon series, to the extent where some fans think they take place in the same universe.

  • i am a bit confused...is this a fan translation?

    I thoght it never goot released outside japan...

  • @lostdreamer50 Nintendo made a translation of this game and never released it. Somebody bought the translation from Nintendo and released it on the Internet as a ROM.

  • @catuse167 i see.thnx for the info...!!

  • I think i might play this on my emulator, though I'll be sure to have the sound of : |

  • they got this one online i dont like it i like the one in SNES better

  • My levels when fighting Giegue:

    Ninten (Bob) lvl 28

    Ana (Asha) lvl 24

    Lloyd (Josh) lvl 24 .......Looking at yours makes my dedication to the game look like I hate it....

  • @Dukefan1333 OMG! When I saw their levels, I couldn't believe it.

    I faced him with:

    Ninten LV 37

    Ana LV 31

    Lloyd LV 29

    And I believed I level-grinded them too much...

  • y is Lloyd's (Josh in the vid lol) lvl so much higher than Ninten's (Bob)???

  • NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP! NEVER GONN..

    THE FORM OF RICK ASTLEY ATTACK WAS INEXPLICABLE!

    *giegue dies*

  • Justin Bieber: *singing Baby*

    Giegue: STOP IT!! STOP THAT SONG!

    Justin Bieber: *continues singing Baby*

    Giegue: YOU PUNY LITTLE EARTH BUG! SHUT UP, AND STOP SINGING!!

  • when the ship came up that was epic

  • 0:09 THE PIMP MOBILE HAS ARRIVED!

  • O.O....thats f** scary!

  • looks like bob (ninten) and hes team sang never gonna give you up all the time.

  • @higihugo Giegue got rickrolled. He can't take it anymore and dissapear. Because Maria rickrolled him every time, when he was a baby.

  • whats the diffrence between earthbound and earthbound zero?

  • @darkregin2 Earthbound Zero has Giegue that was defeated by Ninten and then said that they would meet again. They never did meet again but he did team up with Pokey/Porkey and became Giegas and got defeated by Ness. Which then Pokey time traveled into the future and became Porkey. He now can never die, but he is locked up in a absulote safe copsule after he was defeated by Lucas.

  • @ShadowEevee128 hey if lucas is from mother 3(earthbound 2) then i would like to have that game onse more i only got to where you got to the like 5th or 4th nedlee

  • Has anyone else notice that when Giegue is about to attack it sounds like it is really going to do damage but when it hits it sounds like he just through a rock at Ninten?

  • NO CREEPY MUSIC :D .

  • i guess Giygas thinks they have horrible singing voices.... lol

  • STOP SINGING

  • where u got that version of the forest maze song?

  • I always considered Mother 2 to be a sequel to Mother 1 but the Mother 2 story is from a different continuity (i.e. dimension or universe) to the 1st game and that Mother 3 was a sequel to Mother 2 a couple hundred years into the future does that make sense!!

  • when bob or josh are singing the song was put in a song of a stage of ssbb

  • He looks like Mewtwo.

    Not a big surprise, since the guys who made EarthBound went on to help make Pokemon. *Sigh* I love these nintendo based relations between different games.

  • Why goes Giegue look like a......cat thing in Mother, but like a weird screaming face in EarthBound?

  • @animalcrossingdude01 Because his desire for revenge overwhelmed him, and his body got consumed with hate. He became the embodiment of evil.

  • Do you use video filtering? Because my EBZ is more pixelated.

  • Mewtwo looks like Giygas.

  • @BornaP "Geigue" was a mistranslation of "Giygas". So, he really dident change his name at all.

  • I love your intro, its so simple and cool!

  • I really hope they release this game on the wii virtual console in America! They should also release a Mother Trilogy for the DS!

  • @KoolAidIdiot nintendo will never release the games ever again because they hate the series. its true..

  • @slitheryjuggler94 No, in fact Reggie said that he likes the series, but due to CopyRight Music lincenses (AND MORE CRAP) they dont make them anymore, but, Shigesato Itoi (CREATOR) its (MAYBE) inspiring for a new game!

  • it looks like mewtwo!!

  • Giegue:STOP SINGING!

    Ninten:NOO!

  • My name's maria.

  • Giegue Giygas

  • @gleennaoyama earthbound zero is mother 1 earthbound is mother 2 and mother 3 is earthbound

  • when i said mother 3 i mern that its earthbound 2

  • the earthbound series has a silly nature (execpt this game) but it is home to the most unique RPG final bosses ever

  • @Mattrules64 your kidding right? i'll give you zero and one but really a Darth Vader wanna be as the final boss. thats just way too weak. (if you don't know what i mean look up earthbound 2 mother 3)

  • what's the music at the beginning?

  • @DynaDyx Super Mario RPG Geno's Maze I tihkn

  • They went back in time.

  • So if Giygas is an unborn baby...

    HOW COULD HE BEEN AN ALIEN LEADER?

  • @Szymon318 Well this Gigyas but the song desotried him so he had to return has a baby

  • Gyiyg

  • Most people are unaware, but his name was always known as Giygas. Giegue is the Japanese way to say his name, but translated to English, it was always Giygas

  • The form of Giygas's attack was inexplicable!

  • The names distract me, They should be Ninten, Ana, Lloyd, and Teddy (whom you don't have for the final boss, and just dies in the japanese version)

  • inexplicable? wow taht explains alot.

  • That's not the point. The point is to give meaning to the final boss. THAT'S why you sing. It gives a point and a drive to the final boss. Think about it, would you rather fight in the traditional RPG final boss where you kill it and that's it? OR would you rather fight a boss, not cause death AS A LITTLE KID, cause the alien to suffer psychological pain, and then go away?

  • probably the second one. but they should have made it the first one. thats how almost all games go.

  • but this game goes against those previous conventions to stray from the norm and make something more emotionally appealing. and might i add is quite moving if you look at the story instead of the mindless fighting.

  • giegue is like giygas in the past or something?

    cuz i know in the past he was like a nightmare gas or something :/

    (played earthbound)

  • Gieque became Giygas. Mother 1 actualy takes place a while before Earthbound so even thou they faced Giygas in the past they still faced him after the events in Mother 1. O and the "nightmare gas" was what happened to his physical form after it was torn apart by his own evil.

  • Giygas would have to have been sent into the past in that case probibly for save keeping, If it were not for the events in Mother he would have never turned into that form.

  • no fucking shit!

  • technicly its a rom hack

    as you might know mother was meant to be realesed in america but for some strange reason it was canceld

    some dude bought the nearly finished game at an acution,finshed it,dumped it onto a rom,slapped the Earthbound Zero title on it and made it avalible to the public

  • if it were a pirate (or a badly dumped rom) one of the checksum thingies wouldve shut it down long before now.

  • STOP SINGING!

  • La? La? La... Oh Shi-!

  • Bwah, this battle made me shit bricks when I was small. And it still creeps me out. And don't even talk about Giygas in Earthbound.

  • That would explain why Giygas said all those strange things during the fight, cause hispowers are hurting him. So in my opinion, Giygas wasn't aborted, he was given a mercy killing.

  • the form of giegues attack was inexplicable!

  • In earthbound a bug escapes from the future and tells ness about the apocalypse that there will be over 10 years. Ness travels back in time and defeats giygas as a ''infant'' but that means that he travels back in time before the events of Mother. becaus he is not a baby in Mother. And that means that the events of Mother never took place. though Mother takes place before earthbound. Someone can explain this?

  • That's only if you go with the theory that Ness was destroying a fetus Giygas. A theory that makes a disturbing amount of sense, but isn't supported by the canon. As presented, after the events of Mother, Giygas flees, travels back to the distant past, absorbs the dark power and becomes the nightmare that you must battle in Earthbound. So the events of Mother still take place.

  • Is anybody else incredibly bothered by the abortion theory? Not bothered in a "it makes a disturbing amount of sense" way but because it just goes against the spirit of the games on some very fundamental level. It's just really weird to me that anyone who calls themselves fan of the series would choose to believe in Ness and his friends hurting and killing an innocent form of Giygas instead of Ness and his friends conquering a nightmarish villain through the powers of friendship and love.

  • I too, am bothered by the abortion theory. For one thing Giygas was defeated through prayer, not just Paula's but everyone's (even the player's, apparently!).

    So unless Paula is a dark priestess that channels people's energy into a mega-psychic-abortion shock wave of utter doom, Ill stick with the story that gigyas went back in time to gather evil energy and ness and his crew went back to defeat it before the task was completed

  • Well that is the official story, so it's worth sticking to instead of going on crazy cynical time paradox prayer fueled abortion speculation rampages. :P

  • Its all a matter of perspective really, Giygas was an "infant" Only in mind. You have to understand, he got so much power his mind and body couldn't handle it. If you want a prime example of what im talking about, look at what happened to Tetsuo at the end of Akira (film)

  • it may go against the spirit of the games but considering everything else in the boss fight is incredibly creepy it makes sense.

    and i wouldn't say he's particularly innocent lol

  • This is just like the Terminator series

  • Poor Giegue... Bob and Josh must be TERRIBLE at singing, so bad that he even said PLEASE. o_o;;

  • Giygas was not born in the distant past, he was brought there after his mind began to deteriorate.

  • giygas was misunderstood just like 0 was in kirbys dream land 3.only problem is that giygas hasnt got a chance to strike back.

  • a good damn game

  • dragon warrior 3, anyone?

  • My theory on Giygas development;

    1:as he is in EB

    2:straightens out like a tadpole and whitens while head changes shape

    3:sprouts legs while head completes its transformation

    4:gradually loses tail while face takes shape

    5:face is completed while Pokey reads anti-parenting books

    6:TADA!!! A slimy mewto-looking thing slides out of that nasty hole that previously showed Ness's face.

  • Also, EB's Giygas isn't evil, just misunderstood.... Like Godzilla... I guess. He just wanted to be friends with Ness (Ness's face shown was a greeting, perhaps.) and co., if only he would've accepted, sigh.

  • My Theory: Giygas was still fetal in an incubator-ish deal, but when he was born, he looked as he does here, and could only be stopped by the song. Sooooo... in chronological order... the Mother series is... backwards????

  • Well Ninten is the name of the main character in this game. Alot of opinion and theory lean towards Ninten being Ness's father in earthbound for the SNES however that's only speculation. That would mean Ness finishes the job his father couldn't finish in the first mother game, which also leads some to believe That Ninten (Dad in Earthbound) was so gung-ho in wanting his son to keep fighting. Think about it.

  • @Artificialraven Or mabye after Guigue/Giygas/whatever got his mind destroyed cuz of what happend in the final boss, & causes the end of the world but Buzz Buzz cums 2 the past & causes a time paradox & Ninten becomes Ness & Ana becomes Paula, & Loid becomes Jeff. But not only would that be a big 1 but I'll have sum1 cover up the plot holes.

  • @YTPrule That's, umm, *head explodes*

  • @neepkmnmaster2 Explaining Giygas is a really tricky thing to do. Google it.

  • Where is that music in the opening credits from? I know I've heard it before...

  • beware the forest mushrooms

  • the opening music is from Super Mario RPG for SNES

  • I think Giegue it's a name... and Giygas its the race that attacks in Earthbound for Snes (i defenitely know that) and maybe here too.

    What i dont understand is why the guy just defends in the beginning??? Why doesn't he sing??? [ª . ª]...

    I' ve never played this game but now i want to... This battle is creepy, and I love that!, don't everybody love the music from these series!!!

  • There are a lot of theories that Giegue is Giygas, but it was never fully proved.

    And Poky was named Porky in Mother 3 because he changed it to match his Pig mask army.

  • Giegue is Giygas, the wiki page on Earthbound proves it.

  • T__T Correct, The WIKI <----- Page says so.

    Entirely edited by fans, I am looking for proof from Shigesato Itoi :x

  • earthboundcentral (dot)com (slash) m2eb (slash) enemy-names

  • Giegue is Giygas (or Gyig in Japan)

    After hearing the song thing, he went mad and he transformed. By the way, anyone think Giegue is creepy?

  • Probably the same reason why Pokey in Earthbound is named Porky in Mother 3. Mistranslation.

  • If I'm not mistaken, "Pokey" is the mistranslation and "Porky" is correct

  • yup its right

  • @Artificialraven They changed Porky's name to Pokey because they figured it would be an insult to obese children.

  • @Kojain But they still kept all the "Fat kid who looked like a pig" comments.

  • @Kojain lol it was an insult cause he was a fat kik

  • @Artificialraven Or he was called Giygas because of his gas form.

  • "...ugly Earth People."

    RAAAAAAAAAAGE

    Anyways, Giegue is just as creepy in E0 as he was in E1. That "music" and the inexplicable attacks and the sounds that go off when he attacks...akdfjasl

  • Ok.... time for facts:

    1. Guigue/gGiygas/gyig are all the same alien!

    2. Guigue/gGiygas/gyig's alien race abducted a couple from Earth in the 1900's

    3. Guigue/gGiygas/gyig was under the care of Maria and George (the abducted couple).

    4. Maria treated Guigue/gGiygas/gyig like it was her own child and sang to Guigue/gGiygas/gyig when he was a baby.

    5. George stoled vital information from the aliens and escaped to earth [The information was the PSI powers].

  • 6. Maria was never heard from again and George spend his the rest of his life learning PSI.

    7. Ninten is born somewhere along the way.

    8. It is the year 198X, thus any statement that Ninten is the father of Ness is false. Remember that Ness is 13 years old by 199X.

    9. Ninten knows PSI because George learned it. George is Ninten's Grandfather or Great-grandfather...

    10. It is Guigue/gGiygas/gyig's job to take back the information George stoled so he hunts for it and faces Ninten.

  • 11. Ninten and co defeat Guigue/gGiygas/gyig with the song Maria sang to him when he was a baby.

    12. Guigue/gGiygas/gyig retreats and spares the human race, vow for revenge!

    13. Somewhere along the line Guigue/gGiygas/gyig gain dark powers which in turn completely destroy his form and mind, he's nothing more than a form of anger and hate unable to think anymore, total loss of control.

    14. Earthbound begins, it's 199X.

  • 15. Guigue/gGiygas/gyig returns in Earthbound. His form is the same as explained earlier.

    16. Ness and co. defeat Guigue/gGiygas/gyig and destroy him. Guigue/gGiygas/gyig is no longer existant.

    17. Mother 3 begins a century after the event of EB.

    Spoilers ahead

  • 18. During the time in between EB and M3, humans escaped to an island, the world was in peril. The residents completely wipe their memories of the terrors that they had seen and start anew, one of the residents get's to keep his memories of the terrors of the earth.

    19. Lucas starts his adventure.

    20. Porky time traveled from EB to M3, due to an abuse of his powers he has become bed-ridden and in a near death stage, however he has gained immortality. He carriers over the same childish mentality

  • 21. Lucas defeats Porky [in this case Porky defeats himself], and faces his dead brother Claus.

    22. Lucas and co defeat Claus and Lucas retrieves the last of the pins [forgot what they were called] and ultimately destroys [or changes] the world.

    the end!

  • Dude...you really need to make a video of that.

    I never even knew the Mother series were the same story...please make something of that!

  • @uknownada they aren't, they all have their own plot.

  • @GeraldStudios2 ...No shit, sherlock! Of course I know that!

    You know those comments that guy made? Those are THEORIES of how the Mother games are linked together!

  • @uknownada Ok

  • @GlennAoyama But...Ana knows PSI too,right?

    How is that possible?

  • @GlennAoyama no Giygas does not want the info of PSI he wants to take control of the univers thus buss buss comes from the future and warns ness that he must stop Giygas and giygas is a diferent form of life than guigue seens in earthbound 1 giygas is like totally nothing and guigues is like some little humen with a bubble all around him

  • @GlennAoyama For number 8, have you read PsiPaula4's theory? It's really backed up with a lot of information, so please read it for yourself, because it makes a LOT of sense.

    @Artificialraven: How'd you get those characters at such high levels!?

  • @GlennAoyama #9 As I said before, PSI has nothing to do with George or the aliens, since the ancient Scarabians could use it, AND the Garrickson baby can, meaning PSI has NOTHING to do with George or the aliens.

  • @THEGREATMAX

    It most certaintly could be from the aliens, didn't the ancient Scarabians have an encounter with them?

  • @GlennAoyama You forgot the part about how Giegue/Giygas/gyig cannot fully comprehend human emotions but can still feel them thanks to Maria, and because of this, it damages his psyche (mental state) which in turn damages him physically because of his reliance on psi. Humans cannot understand Giygas/Guigue/gyig's power because they do not and cannot know the full potential if Psi. That is why when Ninten(do) sings the song, he can feel human emotions, but cannot understand them, thus hurting Him

  • And certain robotic things, since he did create E.V.E. The best combat robot EVER.

  • And to think...all of this happened because of two people and then a mentally selfish child came and ruined the future..

  • @GlennAoyama Oh yeah...And Ness and Paula know how to use PSI....They are related to Ninten or something?

  • @GlennAoyama #5 George didn't steal PSI from the aliens.

    George’s study of PSI was merely incidental, as his time on the mother ship was probably also his first time seeing PSI, BUT PSI was already on Earth for a thousand or so years before George’s trip, because the Ancient Scarabians use it… the fact that the Garrison baby also knows PSI makes it very apparent that PSI is a natural ability and has nothing to do with the aliens.

  • @GlennAoyama #5 The vital information that George stole was obviously information on robotics and alien technology. He studied their technology and used it to build Eve (she specifically refers to George as her creator) and the underwater base. Think about it, this was a regular man from the EARLY 1900s, so any advanced technology that he had was obviously inspired by what he’d seen on the mother ship.

  • @GlennAoyama no giygas was an unborn child he was not evil just misunderstood only fighting to defend itself.

  • giegue does NOT appreciate singing. end of.

  • YOU CANNOT GRASP TEH TRUE FORM OF SING.

  • it must be like PRAY...

  • The boss "music" gives me the creeps. x_x

  • How is josh (loid) your strongest!

  • I agree why does teh geek have to be the srtongest? He has guns and lasers to do the job for him

  • Lolz:

    The form of Giegue's attack was inexplicable!

    Essentially "You can not grasp the true form of Giygas's attack!"

  • im about to buy a reproduction of this cartridge (and super mario bros 2, the jap one) for play it on my old NES... i just loved so much the Mother/Earthbound series, its maybe one of the best and most underated series of all time... Nintendo, Hear us!! we want Mother on America!!

  • Whoa, Level 93?!

  • why giegue/giygas so misterious?

  • it only counts for mother 2 and him as the out taken boss in mother 3 but there he is not misterious he is creepy

  • because he is an alien

  • NOO RLY?

    THANKS CAPITAN OBIVIOUS

  • always at the service of youtubers

  • i love when bob "sang" the song

  • I have this game.

    Friggin' amazing.

  • lol josh.

    MOORNIiiNGG

  • bob:we need to bothe giegue but...how?

    josh:i got a plan....

    josh:lalalalalalalalallalalala­l(sing a song)

    giegue:STOP SINGING YOU LITTLE PIECE OF -------------- STFU!

  • Although this game isn't as cherished as the other two games (for legitimate reasons), I thought it was good, albeit not amazing.

    That said, I would absolutely kill for a Mother/Earthbound Zero remake. They could revamp a few things whilst keeping the story intact.

    And if Ninten gets a new, fresh look, perhaps he could join Ness and Lucas in Smash Bros. as the third Mother rep. I would love that - make it happen, Nintendo.

    Aside from that, I always loved the bosses in this series. ^^

  • OMFG!!!! THAT'S HIM! im so scared

  • U CANOT GRASP THE FORM OF THE VIDEO

  • lol

  • lol, ultimate creepy...
