What's Earthbound?
You know...
Ness, you don't seem scared. Are you nuts?
And now you want to go check it out? ...oh ...okay.
You'll sneak out of your room anyway, even if I asked you not to.
At least change out of your jammies before you go.
Be careful! Come home as soon as you can.
-Ness's mom at the beginning of the game
Yeah, sure, you're cool! Whatever...
-Ness's Mom
(Besides humans, dogs also sleep at night. Why aren't you asleep?)
-A sleeping King after soon after the meteorite crashes
I want to return home, but the road is closed.
People are taking this meteorite situation too seriously!
-Man in suit near Ness's House at game beginning
Hey Ness! So, are you just gonna wander around wherever you please? Don't you think we should focus on getting Picky home?
-Pokey, when Ness goes the wrong way to find Picky
Hey, Ness!
I was too busy to investigate, but I heard a child's voice on the hilltop.
I'm a busy man, but when I do a job, I do it well. I'm a man's man.
-Lier X. Agerate
Awooooof!
(If I knew this was going to be such a scary place,
I wouldn't have come along... I'm outta hear!)
-King, at the meteorite
Caution! There are still lots of fires burning here and there. It's HOT!
-Checking the meteorite
Wha-!
Oh!
You woke me up...
Pokey! I've been looking all over for you...
You see, Pokey got scared and ran away...
Well, I'm glad that you're okay at least...
Let's go home now. I bet Mom and Dad are worried sick about us.
Geez! Sometimes I wonder which one us is the real big brother.
(Picky joins you.)
-Picky at the meteorite
Ness!
Do you hear a buzzing that sounds like a bee flying around?
Yes
Yes! You can hear it!
---------
No
Oh, c'mon... You must hear it...
-Pokey at the meteorite
A bee I am
not...
I'm from 10 years in the future.
And,
in the future, all is devastation...
Giygas, the universal cosmic destroyer,
sent all to the horror of eternal darkness...
.....
However, you must listen!
Where I am from,
there is a well-known legend that has been handed down from ancient times.
It says "When the chosen boy reaches the point, he will find the light.
The passing of time will shatter the nightmare rock
and will reveal the path of light."
You see, it is my opinion that you are that boy, Ness.
This I believe...
.....
Giygas' monstrous plan must have been set in motion somewhere on Earth...
If you start to confront the enemy immediately,
you may have time to counter the evil intentions of Giygas.
Three things are of the utmost importance: wisdom, courage, and friendship.
...The legends from the ancient times tell of three boys and a girl
who defeat Giygas.
...I will tell you more later.
Go now! And do not be anxious about the future.
You have much work to do, Ness.
Did you listen to what I told you.
Yes
Thank you for listening to my long story.
You are as exceptional as I expected you to be...
-Buzz Buzz, when Ness first meets him
Ness!
It looks like you're really in a lot of trouble this time...
Three boys, he said? ...Uhhh...
I'm not one of those three, am I? ...
...'Cause... I'm not into this kind of thing at all...
Geez! My heart is almost pounding right out of my chest!...
-Pokey, after hearing Buzz Buzz's tale
Ness, buddy... I have something to tell you, and only you.
Can you come visit me later, alone?
-Lier X. Agerate after Buzz Buzz had joined Ness
It's been a long time, Buzz Buzz.
You've been successful at foiling Master Giygas' plans.
But... Buzz Buzz, you must now surrender.
you're no longer a hero, but just a useless insect.
I'll stomp you hard!
-Starman Junior blocking the way
Whew!... I was taking a big chance there...
He came from 10 years in the future to kill me, so we can't relax yet!
From now on, you'll be fighting enemies sent by Giygas,
as well as humans who have evil thoughts.
They'll definitely make trouble during your adventure!
Animals are also becoming violent
due to Guygas' influence over the evil in their minds!
It is the truth, so listen!
-Buzz Buzz after beating the Starman Junior
Where in the sam hill have boys been?
I'll have to think of a suitable punishment!
-Pokey's mom when her children are taken back home
I'm really sorry that my kids troubled you so much...
Both of you are really going to get it now!
By the way, I would be happy if you left sometime soon.
I'm tired of your family living next door.
We've loaned your father a lot of money.
It may have been a hundred thousand dollars or more...
Well, I guess it really could have been less,
but because of the loan, my family and I now live in poverty!
-Pokey's dad after his sons get home
My husband is much too lenient with the children.
Oh well, nice guys finish last. That's the story of our life...
Ayaaaeee!
I think it's a dung beetle! I'll smash your guts out!
-Pokey's mom Ness takes her kids back to her
Agh! *Gasp* I was...
...much weaker than I thought...
So you must now begin your adventure...
see...
you...
Oh, I just remembered...
Listen to my final words...
To defeat Giygas, your own power must unite with the Earth's...
the Earth will then channel your power and multiply it...
There are eight points that you must visit. Make these places your own...
Each of these locations is "Your Sanctuary."
One of them is near Onett. It is called "Giant Step."
Go there first...
Do you understand?
Yes
All right.
You are a very intelligent young man... and...
Oh! The pain!... Everything is getting dark...
urgh!... *Gasp*...
Before I pass on, I want to give you something...
It is the Sound Stone.
You can record melodies from the eight "Your Sanctuary" locations
into this stone. It is an awesome item...
By the way... I'm almost gone,
but did you want to hear the story one more time?
No
Good!
It's already dawn outside...
But it doesn't matter to me. I'm fading fast...
Argh! *Gasp*
(Ness got the Sound Stone.)
-Buzz Buzz's final words
My dad really got after me.
He said I get no dessert for the rest of the decade...
-Pokey in his room
I don't wanna look at the meteorite anymore.
-Picky in his room
(I don't wanna go out anymore.
I don't care if everyone thinks I'm a stubborn mutt.)
-King after getting home from the meteorite
You're back! Don't bother yourself with taking now, you look too tired.
Mothers understand these things. Eat some Steak and scoot up to bed.
Good morning, sleepy bones! Are you ready to start your adventure?
My little man is growing up too fast...
-Ness's mom after it becomes day in Onett
I'm doing this because I trust you.
First, let's go to the basement.
Ah! I can tell by the look on your face you don't want to hang out, do you?
That's all right. After all, we are not even related.
I know you think I'm a big liar but maybe I'll surprise you!
...So Ness buddy, I've found proof of a great treasure... a huge haul...
yah, hah, hah... I'll show you, but you're the only one. C'mon.
If this is a sign of what lies below, I just need a little time.
My destiny is to find and dig up the buried treasure.
I'll eat garlic and work out to help strengthen myself.
Go home now. You're getting in the way of my work.
You may start to get greedy thoughts...
-Lier X. Agerate when Ness talks to him alone
(The Golden Statue is glowing strangely...)
-Checking the Mani Mani statue for the first time
A library is a nice place to learn stuff.
I got a lot of info about Earthbound.
You can borrow maps for nothing!
-Girl in front of the library
(I am not your enemy.
I am simply your average run-of-the-mill mole.
Would you like some hints on fighting enemies?
Yes
(Listen carefully.
My hint involves which way you are facing when a battle with an enemy occurs.
If you allow enemies to approach you from your back or side,
they may get a surprise opening attack.
When they approach you this way, your TV screen, no... no...
I mean the world in front of you will show a red swirl for a second.
On the other hand, if you approach an enemy from the back or side,
you may get a surprise opening attack.
In that case, your TY... Oops again!
...The world in front of you shows a green swirl.
The point is, try to fight so that you always have the advantage.)
--------
No
(Ah, I see...
You've already got a good grasp of how to fight effectively.)
-Mole northwest of the library
Ness, I'm doing watch-out duty for the hideout.
Can you take over?
Yes
Just kidding. Being watch-out is my job.
---------
No
You're busy. I understand.
-Boy left of the library
I had a dream about you, and you were traveling with a cute girl.
If the dream comes true, say hi to her for me.
After all, I'm single...
-Kid in hideout
You've grown since I last saw you. You're beginning to look like a man.
You're so cool!
I... I think I really like you.
Well, you know what I mean
-Boy wearing the black hat in the hideout
I'll give you my Mr. Baseball cap,
I know you've wanted it for a long time.
It's the best cap for someone really brave like you.
(Ness got the Mr. Baseball cap)
I'd like to go on an adventure with once I become a little stronger.
-Boy in helmet inside the hideout
I heard there's a big foot print on the hilltop behind this shack.
I haven't seen it myself... It's just a rumor.
-Man in front of the entertainer's shack
This shack was locked by someone from City Hall, so we can't use it.
The reason it was closed was 'cause a punk named Frank may have trashed the place.
What a drag.
We can't even change our clothes, and hotels are too expensive...
-Other man in front of the entertainer's shack
I can't believe I saw it with my own eyes.
I was staring out the window and there it was, just fluttering there...
I'd only seen it in the encyclopedia before.
What was it?
A Magic butterfly!
If you get close to a magic butterfly, all your cares fly away,
just like a fluttering butterfly.
Yep, yep!
That's the effect of the legendary Magic butterfly.
I love talking about it!
Ooops!
Sorry about the outburst...
I got carried away with all the talk about lovely butterflies...
-Man staring out of the window in the Onett Library
I'm researching "Giant Step."
It's located north and west of Onett.
I heard it possesses a special power!
-Blond gentleman upstairs in the library
.....
.....
.....
(A man of few words. It's useless talking to him now.)
-Masked kid in library
At "Giant Step" there's a monster guarding that spot from the outside world.
No one knows when the monster made Giant Step its territory.
I wonder if he's stronger than my wife...
-Older man in the library
.....
Shhh! You're bothering people!
-Girl in library
I read the book called "Our Society is Convenient."
It said that these days, there are always telephones in hotels and drugstores.
I also learned that to use a green pay phone costs a dollar,
while the black phones are free.
If you weren't aware of this,
all your money could get eaten up by your phone calls.
I'm glad I read that book...
-Girl at a desk inside the library
I recently read a book titled "Our Convenient Society."
It said that our modern society demands
that there always be an ATM in hotels and drugstores.
Just knowing that is convenient!
I'm glad I read the book...
I can't believe I didn't know this stuff.
I'll check whether or not we have an ATM in our drugstore...
-Blond man sitting at a desk in the library
Recently, I sensed the presence of UFO's flying around...
or am I just dreaming?
-Guy wearing the shirt with a heart on it near some bookshelves
.....
Quiet!
-Man wearing green in the 1st room of the library
I'm cramming for the big test tomorrow.
It's about games.
"Hotel Rule" ...if you stay at a hotel, you'll wake up with a full HP and PP.
"Life Recovery Rule"
...recovering your life will give you full HP, but zero PP.
...Hmmm... I bet this stuff will be on the test...
-Lady in black at the library
Hi!
Kids can borrow only maps at this library.
Do you want to borrow one?
No
A man without a map isn't popular with the girls.
Do you want one now?
Here's a map.
Onett isn't the only thing on the map.
All the info is there, except for the info that isn't there.
Pressing the X Button allows you to view the map at any time. How convenient!
You know, the X Button... located near the top. Ha ha ha.
(Ness got the Town Map.)
Hi!
It's not necessary to return the map now.
Come back in the year 2001 to return it.
-Librarian
Don't talk to me. I... I'm thinking...!
-Library bathroom
Uh no, I'm in here.
Don't try to come in... especially if you don't need to use the bathroom!
-Other library bathroom
What a cute, yellow backpack.
-Girl outside the library after Ness checks out the map
The arcade is full of Sharks. I can't play there.
-Guy right of the hamburger place
Woof! Woof!
(I'm Ruffini the dog.
I'm being possessed by the spirit of the game designer...
(RUFF!)
Do you see the window showing HP and PP at the bottom of the screen?
When you go to a store that has equippable items,
this window will either flash, look normal or become black.
If you are allowed to equip an item, and it is stronger than your current item,
the window will flash.
If the item's power is equal to, or less than your current equipped item,
the window looks normal.
If you can't equip an item, the window is black.
*Ruff* I thought you'd like to know.
Now it's time to become a regular dog again...)
-Ruffini, in Onett's drugstore
Hey, I know your hard-earned cash is important to you,
but you should call your mom.
She's probably got an ulcer from worrying about you.
-Blond kid in the drugstore
You look so helpless. Are you okay?
-Man in front of sign
When you're in trouble, do you think you'd ever like to have a hint?
Yes
Why don't you get a hint from the next house?
---------
No
All righty then, you're on your own. Good luck!
-Man in house next to the hint man
Are you Ness? My son said something about going to a hide-out.
I don't know what he was talking about.
-Purple house in the eastern part of Onett
Mr. Lier X. Agerate, the treasure hunter, finally found something interesting.
I heard he will only show it you.
-Man in the house beneath the purple one
This town is out of control.
The wild boys are hanging out in the town
and the cops have really been cracking down on everyone.
I'm considering moving to Twoson, a town in the south.
-Woman with shopping bags east of the hotel
OK, pop quiz! "A Beatles song, XXXterday."
Can you fill in the blanks?
Yes
That's correct! I'm impressed.
------
No
Buzzzzt! "A Beatles song, Noterday." Wrong!
-Brick house east of the hotel
Say something funny. I'll listen.
.....
.....
Mmm, I can't wait any longer! I'm going back to watching the news--it's funnier than you.
-House next to the hotel in Onett
Our nightly rate is not cheap,
but we have clean sheets and the rooms are secure.
I'm sure you understand that this keeps us very busy.
-Bellhop
Can you believe it?
A group of ruffians spit their gum on me as I was passing by...
-Blond man in a suit inside Hotel Onett
You look like you'd be a real target for the Sharks.
You'd better be careful.
-Blond woman in glasses inside the Hotel Onett
Bow-wow! (Don't you think you'll be needing a weapon?
Did you know that the drug store sells things you can use?
...I knew about it.)
-Dog next to City Hall
Rumor has it that the Sharks' boss is hanging out near the Giant Step.
-Guy in blue shirt below City Hall
There are lots of snakes and stray dogs around Onett.
Is the mayor going to let them just run around, doing whatever they want?
I'm here to protest!
-Man in red shirt and tie in City Hall
I'm really in a foul mood.
Why? Because the mayor doesn't like me.
I think I'll just kick back for a while.
It just may take me a couple hours to sign this paper. *snicker* *snort*
-Man behind desk in the first room of the Town Hall
Oh, aren't you Ness?
Is it a school holiday today? Have you done your homework?
Remember to brush your teeth before going to bed.
Have you been wetting your bed?
-Man in the first room of Onett's Town Hall
We don't have any openings for part-time employees at this time.
-Man in glasses behind at desk in the 2nd room of the City Hall
I work for City Hall, but somehow Mayor Pirkle bugs me.
Let's keep this between you and me.
-Blond behind desk in the 2nd room of the City Hall
Did I tell you that I saw a Giant Ant one time at Giant Step?
...
Oh, sorry. I did ant mean to spoil it for you.
-Elderly person in the 2nd room of Onett's City Hall
Some suspicious-looking kids are hanging out in the woods north of the library.
I wonder if they are members of the Sharks.
To stop the spread of the gang, someone should shut down their gathering places,
don't you think?
I've started a movement
that will stop all of the bad influences on the children of Onett.
I call it the "Fresh Breeze Movement." Hum de dum dum...
-Brunette woman in the second room of the City Hall
The Mayor's office is on the second floor.
You need an appointment before you visit.
I'm going to have to stop you if you try to see the Mayor.
-Pirkle's secretary
The Mayor is busting his butt with all the troubles in town,
like the Sharks and the meteorite...
Hey, are you the guy who's trying to reform the Sharks?
Wa ho! Wa ho! Wa ho!
You've got to be kidding!
Scram!
-Cop, who pushes Ness out of the Mayor's office when he comes too early
If one of your friends becomes unconscious,
you should visit them at the hospital.
You should check with nurse receptionist, and she will release your friend.
It's a nice thing to remember, but it's all right if you forget.
-Older female west of the Town Hall
A girl named Paula lives in Twoson.
Her mother runs a preschool out of their home.
I can't remeber the name of the school, but I heard Paula's really special.
Why is she special?
I forgot to ask. Oh, well...
-Man in yellow east of the drugstore
The drugstore is to the east! ...East is the opposite of west!
-House east west of the drugstore
"Psss. Whisper."
"Whisper pssst psssssss."
"Shhhhh, what if someone overhears us...?"
"Right. Whisper."
"Psst. Pss. Wa Ha ha!"
"You jerk."
"Because..."
"Heh heh he"
"Heh heh heh"
-House in westernmost Onett
I wonder if "Earthbound" has been released yet.
-Girl in yellow and red house, southeast of the hotel
W-Wh-Who's there? It's creepy in here. What, you won't answer?
-White and purple house east of the police station
I would rather be working as a parking meter cop...
It's just been too busy lately. I'm sick of it.
-Woman in police station
Man, am I steamed... Don't even try talking to me.
-Cop in police station at the front desk
The townspeople are in a state of confusion.
At times like this, riots break out, or people start acting wild,
so we police are being ultra cautious.
-Captain Strong
This is a jail! You guys have no business being here.
-First jail cell in the police station
Hey, I'm in here! Go and find another can! Ha, I was just joking!
-Second jail cell
Psst! I'm not really one of the gang.
I'm a cop, even if I don't look like it.
-Man in police station
Don't you think you get more food value out of 14 bucks worth of burgers
than 8 bucks worth of french fries?
You'll feel better and more energetic if you eat better foods.
You know--you'll recover more health if you eat more expensive food.
-Woman with glasses in Onett's hamburger place
I'm so much more relaxed here...
They never ask me "Would you like fires with that shake?"
-Blond girl inside Onett's hamburger place
It seems like I'm always here... I hope you don't mind!
-Woman in green in the Burger Shop in Onett
City Hall is to the east. You know, where the sun rises!
-Man in house west of City Hall
I moved here from the way, way, way away next town.
In the next town, there is the... what is the name?...
uh... Polar Star preschool.
The preschool is at Paula's house.
Paula uses... what is it called?... uh... magic.
-Blond girl in blue house north of the hospital
If you're trying to sell us the newspaper, go away! We don't read the paper!
And we don't want any milk either!
-Brick house in southwestern Onett
The point overlooking the sea has beautiful scenery. It's over thataway.
Such a beautiful place gets me all choked up.
-Scraggly boy left of hospital
I must be the happiest man in the world.
I can practice my trumpet in the scenic spot.
I'll send my haunting melody throughout the town!
-Person in black left of the house for sale
Doesn't this house look good? You can buy it for only $7500!
It has an ocean view, and the sunsets are beautiful.
Folks should have a place of their own.
Do you want to buy it?
Yes
Thank you.
It's all yours now. Take some time and relax.
Hey! You've got your own place now!
A house in such good condition can't be that cheap.
----
No
You can't afford $7500? It was a waste of time talking to you.
-Salesman in southwestern Onett
When I came to visit my friend at this hospital,
I somehow slipped and fell in the hallway.
So now I'm staying in the hospital too.
This could be the basis for a great, tragic tearjerker. Well, maybe not...!
-Woman on 2nd floor of hospital
Welcome to Onett Hospital. I run the place.
Ah... gotcha!! Sorry. I'm just a patient.
Welcome to Onett Hospital. I run the place.
Have I told you this joke already? Oh, sorry...
-Man in the room on the left on the 2nd floor of Onett Hospital
I was SMAAAAASHED by a mouse.
-Brunette girl in hospital on 2nd floor in the right room
What? You're here to visit my daughter?
So you're the one who calls her in the middle of the night and talks for hours!
...oh, it's not you. Then why did you come to this room?
It's you again.
-Blond woman on Onett Hospital's 2nd floor in the right room
Hello... and you are...?
Say, have you ever suffered from some type of sickness or condition
that you couldn't get cured at a hospital?
For example, being "Diamondized,"
where your head gets as hard as a diamond...
Or... "Mushroomized," where you have a mushroom on your head...
If you're ever stuck with these types of embarrassing conditions,
we of the magic healing shrine are here to ease your pain.
We're ready and waiting...
in the lobby of hospitals all over the world.
The person next to me is the great teacher of magic healing.
-Woman in Onett hospital's lobby
I heard there's a guy who stops to read each bulletin board he encounters.
Then he says, "check-a-roony!" Is that you?
-Brunette girl in southern Onett
Do you want to start a fight, or what?
-Shark near garbage can
Do you want to meet Frank? You don't want Frank to beat you up, do you?
-Shark in front of arcade
What? You want to meet our boss, Frank?
He's in the backyard of the game arcade, thinking about peace and love.
You might want to visit him.
-Guy dressed in orange north of the arcade
It was you! YOU beat up my buddy, didn't you?
You'd better just beat it!
-Shark that approaches Ness in the arcade
Uh huh... Uh huh...
You sound like a real whiner to me.
Don't get lippy, or I'll kick your butt!
-Shark on 1st floor of arcade
When you buy an item that should be equipped,
do you bother to actually equip it?
Heh eh, I gave a hint to my own enemy...
I'm such a rockin' dude!
I obviously have total confidence in my own abilities.
So... are you ready to get it on, Spanky?
-Skate Punk on arcade's 2nd floor that approaches Ness
To tell you the truth,
I like drinking tea and eating fresh vegetables,
but that doesn't fit my super cool image.
I guess I just have to accept this about myself.
-Shark on arcade's second floor
Spit spit spit
Saliva spit spit
Do you want some gum?
Get yer own, twit.
-Shark upstairs in arcade
Frank has an incredibly powerful weapon.
If you get your hands on it, I bet you can stand against any enemy.
-Kid in orange on arcade's 2nd level
Oh, oh... The road's closed again.
It's Onett's claim to fame!
-Man in business suit at roadblock to Twoson
The road to Twoson is closed.
You can't just squeeze through the road blocks, either!
Onett is famous for roadblocks!
-Cop in front of roadblock to Twoson
Don't talk to me! I'm on duty.
Until I have Chief Strong's permission, I can't let you through!
-Other Onett cop in front of the Twoson roadblock
I like cottage cheese on bread!
You haven't tried it? It's the latest craze in culinary circles!
-Blond in red dress inside Onett's bakery
It seems like every bakery has been making lucky sandwiches these days.
They're kind of like fortune cookies except you can win stuff.
Oh yeah, and it's a sandwich.
Okay, so maybe it's not like a fortune cookie.
Anyway, the best thing that can happen is "recover PP."
I just wish I knew what "PP" was...
-Girl wearing black in Onett's bakery
I want to tell you the story of the creature from the vegetable soup,
but I won't because I don't want to bother you with a story
that has nothing to do with your adventure.
If I keep talking about unrelated stuff,
you might start ignoring important messages.
It's important for you to talk to people.
Also, a person might give you a different message,
depending on when you speak to them.
-Woman with shopping bags in Onett's bakery
Hey kid! Do you wanna become a member
Yes
Come back after you finish EarthBound!
----
No
Don't be such a snob!
-Shark in front of the door to Frank
(Looks like quite a piece of work...)
-When Ness checks Frankystein Mark II
.....
...I'm Frank. You are?
C'mon, can't you at least say your name?
"Fail-proof" Frank can't be beaten.
Puff, puff, puff
And this is "Frankystein Mark II."
...This is my first defeat.
"Fail-proof" Frank is now just "failure" Frank.
I know you've been asking around, so I'll tell you about Giant Step.
It...
seems...
to be quite a powerful spot.
Some kind of special power is stored there
that allows certain people to perform wondrous feats.
However... a monster sucked up all the energy at that spot.
It's difficult to get to Giant Step. That's all I know...
I suggest you collect more information on your own.
The entrance to the path leading to Giant Step is
behind the touring entertainers' shack.
Pirkle, the Mayor of Onett, has a key to the shack.
Ness, you've become stronger than I! Your adventure is just beginning...
-Frank when Ness meets him for the 1st time
Hurray! The Sharks are gone from the arcade! Now I can go in...
Except I don't have any money to play the games...
-Man wearing a shirt with a heart on it by the Burger Shop
Since you beat up the Sharks, you're the talk of the town.
Mayor Pirkle is waiting for you.
-Mayor Pirkle's secretary
Thank you so much for all of your help...
-Police officer in Mayor Pirkle's office
In the next election, please give a speech supporting Mayor Pirkle.
Hee hee hee.
-Man in Mayor Pirkle's office
Hey hey hey! I'm Mayor B.H. Pirkle. It's so nice to meet you.
You beat up the town bullies,
punched them out big time, kicked their butts, bit their heads off,
spit in their eyes, and made them wet their pants.
Then you forced them to promise not to make any more trouble. Thank you!
What? You want a key to the touring entertainers' shack?
For someone as great as you, giving you the key could help keep the town peaceful.
However, if you encounter a dangerous situation,
please don't ask me to take any responsibility.
I'll be able to avoid any responsibility, right?
Yes
You're such a smart kid... Here's the key to the shack.
(Ness got the Key to the shack.)
----
No
I'm a very important man in these parts.
Do you think I'm important?
Yes
You're such a smart kid... Here's the key to the shack.
(Ness got the Key to the shack.)

No
Look, I'm the big cheese around here,
and a brat like you should realize when someone is trying to be nice.
-Mayor B.H. Pirkle
Hey you, the board says "Do Not Enter." Couldn't you read it?
Yes
So you just didn't want to read the sign, huh kid...
Get yer butt to the Onett Police Station later!
----
No
What a rebellious kid! Come to the Onett Police Station later!
-Cop after Ness exits cave to Giant Step
So here you are.
You're the little delinquent that came back from Giant Step!
Now you listen here...
"Don't Enter" means just that-- DO NOT ENTER! You got that?
And furthermore...
Blah blah
Blah blah
It's usually those tax evaders who...
Blah blah
Blah blah
We don't enjoy blocking off roads, you know...
Blah blah
Blah blah
It's usually the local whiners that make a big deal about emergencies and meteorites!
Blah blah
Blah blah
Blah blah
-Policeman in station after Ness beats Giant Step
Why is the road to Twoson closed? An emergency, of course.
At times like this, kids like you should be playing Nintendo games.
Anyway, are you sure you want to go to Twoson?
Yes
Okay, *chortle* Follow me.
Show me what you got...
See if you can get past five of my best men...
----
No
Well then, perhaps you should just crawl back to your shack little mister.
-Captain Strong
Eeeeyah!
Hey, small fry! You must be shaking in your boots!
You're tough. You should join the police force!
-1st cop that attacks Ness
Your average policeman is stronger than any superhero!
Oh... you won...
-2nd cop that attacks Ness
Don't let the Mayor's compliments give you a big head...
Bring it on, fat boy!
Let's do this again sometime...
Next time, I'll take you out with my nuclear suplex attack!
-3rd cop that attacks Ness
C'mon! I'm going to take you apart right here, right now, baby!
Grrr... I lost...
-4th cop that attacks Ness
That's it, buddy...
You can forget about me, I'm going to call for my boss!
-Other cop in room
There is no way I can beat you in a straight competition, so...
get ready for my "Super Ultra Mambo-Tango-Foxtrot martial arts!"
I didn't think you would so well against the mighty Onett police force...
You want me to open the road to Twoson?
Hang on for a sec, I'll radio my staff and give them the word...
*Beep, beep* ...*Click*... *Rrrr*
*Click* Strong here... do you read me?
...*Krrrr* ...Hey!...
...It's me, Captain Strong!...
Okay, listen, a kid named Ness will be there in a few minutes...
He's a kid in a red cap... I want you to open the road to Twoson for him...
I know that...
I know that!...
Don't ask me why, just do it! That's an order! ...Strong out...
Well kid, I'm not going to question you now,
but I do want to see you again...
Good luck!
-Captain Strong
Hey aren't you Ness?
Well, I got the okay form Chief Strong to let you through.
Take care of yourself.
-Cop on right side of trail where Twoson roadblock used to be
You're doing well. Keep it up.
The "Town Map" can be checked out at the library.
You can also use the map in Twoson. It's really useful.
-Other cop where Twoson road block used to be
I live rent-free in the mouse's house.
The mice are known as "Exit mice."
They are very kind, and boy are they fast!
I really love these guys!
-Boy in house on way to Twoson
You look much stronger. Would you like to rest?
Yes
Ness, you're now stronger than I! Your adventure is just beginning.
----
No
Ness, you've become stronger than I! Your adventure is just beginning...
-Frank behind the arcade
So you're a real Rambo-type guy?
I don't think so.

(Open Soon! Mach Pizza Onett Branch.)
-Checking the Onett pizza parlor
Well, the riot's over. Now I can move on to parking enforcement!
Hooray! Life is good. Dum dee dee dee...
-Woman in police station
Why are you asking about a driver's license?
You're way too young to even think about getting behind the wheel, you little pest.
-Cop inside the Onett station
I've been playing "Earthbound" lately... I'm having a tough time.
-Captain Strong
I don't think Frank's a regular crazy and wild-type guy.
-Man in blue below the city hall
You look like someone who's going to do something big.
-Pirkle's secretary
Hey, what's-your-name!

I heard that around here, our doctor is No. 1. Hee hee hee...
-Nurse next to doctor in Onett hospital
I wanted to see you, Paula!
-Blonde girl in blue-roofed house, west of the Mayor's office
Ah, it's you... I've seen you in the newspaper.
Aren't you the extraordinary girl from Twoson?
Yes
"Can I have your autograph?" is an airheaded question. I won't ask you for it.
----
No
I see... Maybe you're not especially special.
-Man with dreads in western Onett
Oh, hi Ness.
It's another nice day. What? You'd like the book "Overcoming Shyness"?
I've read it. It's a great book. So you want to overcome shyness also?
You should be able to find it on the bookcase.
-Masked kid in library
(There are books other than "Overcoming Shyness.")
-Checking library shelves
(You found the book "Overcoming Shyness"!)
(Ness got the Shyness book.)
-Finding the Overcoming Shyness book
Hi! Nice to meetchya!
I'd really love to sit down and chat with you someday.
I'll talk about my adventure,
and you can tell me about all of your mistakes.
-Masked kid in library
You're back! Don't bother yourself with talking now, you look too tired.
Mothers understand these things. Eat some Steak and scoot up to bed.\
Good morning everyone! Are you ready for your adventure?
I think all of you are the bee's knees. Yes, I do!
You are all so... cool! Yes, you're hip!
-Returning home and talking to mom
The wild punks have calmed down, but I still don't feel very safe.
-Woman east of the Onett hotel
The hotel is located to the west.
I'm sad 'cause I only got this short message.
-Guy in hat inside purple house in eastern Onett
-Exit Mouse
(Oooo. Do I get to come along too?)
-Other Exit Mouse
(Please take my son along.
He may look like a regular, small mouse,
but he can lead you to an exit if you're lost in a maze.)
(Will you take one of my sons along?)
Yes
(He's a tough boy. You can treat him as one of your items.)
(Ness got the Exit Mouse.)
----
No
(You understand that you don't need any money for this...)
(Didn't you leave my son with someone?)
-Standing Exit mouse
(The mouse found the way out and waved for you to follow.)
-Using the Exit mouse
Jeff, Jeff buddy!
Oh me oh my...
You...came to rescue me!
Pal!
Do you have the "Monkey's love"?
-Girl monkey in Deep Darkness
Pictures taken instantaneously!
I'm a photographic genius, if I do say so myself!
Okay, get ready for an instant memory!
Look at the camera...
Ready...
Say, "fuzzy pickles."
Wow, what a great photograph!
It will always bring back the fondest of memories...
-Mysterious photographer from the heavens
Okay! You can get on the bus now...
Alright... on to Threed!
All right! We made it!
I'm sorry we couldn't do more for you.
Remember, though... we're on your side.
When you're having a tough time,
just think of our songs and imagine the Runaway Five singing somewhere far,
far away...
By the way, why did you need to come back here?
You must have forgotten some very important item or gadget here...
How's that for a guess? Am I close?
Well, you don't have to tell me...
See you later and good luck!
-Runaway Five when taking Ness back to Threed for the second time
Do you really think this looks like a pencil?
-Using the Pencil eraser on the Mani Mani Statue
I'm going to collect a ton!
-Girl in hat at end of cave leading to Peaceful Rest Valley
(I'm not an enemy.
I'm just a regular mole.
Would you like to know about how to survive battles?)
Yes
(You may have noticed that, when you have been badly hurt in battle,
you may survive a mortal attack and still have 1 HP. If this has happened,
it was because of your Guts. Your survival may depend on your guts level.
Also, more Guts helps you get more SMAAAAASHing hits.
Beyond Guts, you should have noticed that it takes some time
for damage to be taken from you.
This is because of the rolling action of your HP meter. Oops! I mean your life.
If an enemy deals mortal damage to you, but you defeat all enemies
before your life is gone, you survive. This is all I know.)
-----
No
(Well, you seem to know a lot already, even if you don't look like it.)
-Mole in Peaceful Rest Valley
(For some weird reason,
a pencil-shaped iron statue is blocking the path.)
-When Ness checks the pencil statue in Peaceful Rest Valley
I wonder who made this bridge impassable?
Why would someone do this? Crud...
-Man waiting to cross bridge to Twoson
(I am not your enemy.
I am just a plain ol' mole.
You are certainly stronger than you were while wandering around Onett.
Have you ever suddenly gotten the "You Won" message
when you met a weak enemy?
That's sure-fire proof that you've become stronger.
You don't want to waste your time fighting wimpy enemies, do you?)
-Mole near entrance to Happy-Happy Village
We wanted to join the Happy-Happy religious group.
We're a married couple from Twoson.
-Blonde man in the first house of Happy-Happy Village
Our child is waiting for us in Twoson.
As a souvenir we'd like to bring him some happiness.
-Blonde woman in the first house of Happy-Happy Village
This is the famous Happy-Happyism counseling office.
When you obtain happiness
you should visit the Happy-Happyism headquarters.
It's located at the center of the village.
-Happy Happy insane cultist in the 1st building
You might misunderstand what I have to say,
But Carpainter's voice affects one's minds, like a hypnotist.
-Man in 1st building in Happy-Happy
You don't seem to understand, so I'll explain it to you.
When the world is changed to blue, a peaceful country can be established.
Do you understand now?
Yes
I can tell by your face that you're only pretending to understand.
You just want something!
-----
No
Although you don't understand now, some day you will.
-Man in shades in Happy-Happy's 1st building
One day, Mr. Carpainter received a revelation.
He now speaks the real truth.
-Girl near Happy Happy sign
Excuse me, tourist.
I'm collecting donations to help the world from contaminants.
Donate whatever you can.
How much would you like to donate?
$01
Your good deed will be rewarded. Here's a postcard for you.
(Ness got the Picture postcard.)
Go and be happy!
----
No
I'll be your shadow, then.
-Blonde woman who greets Ness
I heard many footprints exist deep down in the east cave.
People call that place Lilliput Steps, and it makes them feel uneasy.
-Woman in red near food stand
I'm monitoring those who don't pay at the food stand.
I noticed you didn't pay!
You won this confrontation.
But the good side of you must ache with regret. Ha ha ha.
-Unassuming local guy in the middle of the village
I think that those who won't paint everything blue are opposed to peace.
I want them all to listen, even if it requires kicking their butts.
-Blonde gentleman left of cave to Lilliput Steps
Blue, blue!
I wish for everything in this world to become blue.
-Person in the eastern part of the village
There's a place ahead that can't be painted blue...
It's a strange and anti-blue place.
I can't stop thinking about it... and I can't even go near that place.
-Kid outside cave to Lillput Steps
The information on the back of the "refreshing herb" reads as follows:
If you catch a cold, if you're ill, or if you can't seem to heal,
if your are poisoned, if you are depressed, a refreshing herb is the real deal.
I know, it seems pretty iffy, but you should give it a try!
-Woman inside the drugstore
Blue... blue...
I'm not busy right now.
Shall I explain about the hospital system?
Yes
If a good friend of yours becomes unconscious,
come to the hospital right away.
As long as you have the money for the doctor's fee,
you'll be able to see your friend completely recovered in no time.
Besides being unconscious, whenever
you don't feel so well, come and talk to a doctor.
Everything I just told you applies to hospitals around the world.
----
No
Yeah, well, I actually am pretty busy.
-Nurse in Happy-Happy Village
Mr. Carpainter wants a girl.
No, I don't mean it like that.
I mean he's looking for a girl who can be the high priestess of Happy-happyism.
I heard he's already got her.
-Man in glasses with red hair in the southeast part of the village
When I painted everything blue, as Mr. Carpainter said,
my wife who had run out on me returned home!
-Fellow wearing black beneath Carpainter's house
Psss psss Psss psss
That overweight kid helped me. We kidnapped Paula.
You know, she's hidden in a mountain cabin.
Oh, oh! Now I've done it!
I thought you were one of us! You know I was joking!
Ha ha ha!... Just forget about this...
-Masked kid in under the Meager Livin' Farm
(I'm just a plain ol' cow, but Mr. Carpainter's messages always mooove me.)
-Cow in Happy-Happy
We're all like one big, happy family here in Happy Happy Village!
Basically, our policy is to only allow family members to stay here in the village.
However, if you are interested in learning about Happy Happyism,
we may make an exception and let you stay for $50.
Yes
Very well... be sure to do your "blue... blue..." chant before bedtime.
Are you prepared to show the proper respect to Mr. Carpainter now?
Blue... blue...
----
No
Never have I heard such disrespect! Get out and stay out!
-Man in red inside the large house with the cow next to it
Mr. Carpainter communicates with the divine,
so he is able to deliver inspired messages.
-Hippie near the red house
I not sure. Boing!
Friends
in valley behind Threed.
Ding! Ding!
-The only red house in Happy-Happy Village
You want to talk to Mr. Carpainter directly?
You must think you're pretty important, and boy do you have a lot of nerve!
You deserve to be struck by lightning!
-Woman in front of the Carpainter house
...Who?...
...Are you Ness?
Ness! I'm so glad it's you.
I had a dream that a boy named Ness was my destiny.
I know it's hard to believe.
Therefore, I knew you would rescue me.
If you didn't come, I would have had to try to bust out of here.
You can't open the door.
You'll have to get the key from Carpainter. He's got it hidden away.
I heard Carpainter can control lightning.
In that case, you should wear this Franklin badge, okay?
(Ness got the Franklin badge.)
I'll wait here until you return.
Come back here and get me out once you defeat Carpainter.
Don't worry about me, just kick butt like I know you can!
-Paula in the jail call
Blue, blue.
Oh, you would like to be one of us?
Then give up what you're doing
and go meet the great Mr. Carpainter as soon as possible.
-Happy-happyist cult member near the Croissant present in Carpainter's house

Blue, blue.
...What? I'm blocking you? Ok, I'll move out of your way.

I say, "Arm the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"...
or something like that. So now I'll crush you!
-Insane cultist in Carpainter's house
Blue, blue.
Don't disrupt our meeting! I'll stomp on you!
-Happy-happyist member in Carpainter's house
Blue, blue.
I'll stand somewhere else.

Lagoon blue, blue.
-Insane cultist in large room of insane cultists

That's not true, see!

You must need help, because you're just standing around!

Green, green.
Ooops, that's not it... I'm still new at this.
Blue, blue.
Now I got it. Blue, blue.

Blue, blue.
Hey, you! Anti-blue boy! You're getting on my nerves!

I heard that whistling makes one smile. I'll practice over there.
Blew, blew. Whistling is hard...
-Insane cultist member in big room of cultists
Blue, blue.
You strange, unmasked fellow. Don't go to heaven!

Blue, blue.
You can't be happy unless you know happy-happyism.

Blue, blue.
Your outfit... the color is wicked.

Blue, blue.
Those who aren't believers must not be good!
To eternity with you!

Blue, blue. This should wake you up! Aaaaaagghhh!!!
-Another cultist walking in the loop in Carpainter's house
Aaiiiieeeeee! I screamed...
'cause I didn't know what else to do!
-Man at desk before Carpainter's office
Thanks for coming! I've been waiting for you.
I need your assistance to help make the world blue
and change it into a happy and peaceful society.
Will you be my right-hand assistant?
Yes
You fool, I have drawn you into my trap.
----
No
If you don't want to be my right hand, my left would be just fine...
Just kidding! Your existence is a problem for me and my religion.
Defy me, and I'll end your pitiful game!
Carpainter's lightning was reflected by the Franklin Badge.
Do you see the Mani Mani Statue behind me...
Since I got the statue, I have been doing peculiar things.
Please forgive me, if you can... I just wanted to have a normal life.
I apologize to everyone.
Here's the key to open the jail in the mountain cabin where Paula is being held.
Take the key and go.
(Ness got the Key to the cabin.)
-Mr. Carpainter
So you're the boy that... that...
You went after Mr. Carpainter and... you're awesome!
-Man at desk before Carpainter's room after Ness defeats Carpainter
There are only three people remaining...
I don't want to stay. I'll get out of here...
-A cultist left over in the large room after Carpainter's defeat
It looks like almost everyone woke up and left...
-Another cultist in room after Carpainter's goes back to normal
Sorry about everything! Let's be buddies.
-Last cultist left in the large room of Carpainter's house after his defeat
Ness! You got the key!
Are you hurt?
Yes/No
I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you.
(Ness used the Key to the cabin.)
Thank you, Ness!
You're just like imagined you would be...
I'm sure that some people in Twoson are worried about me...
Getting back there may be dangerous,
but we can do it if we combine our strength.
I'm able to use a little psychic power that is actually pretty deadly...
Let's head back to Twoson!
Paula joined you.
-Paula's release from her mountain cabin cell
Mr. Carpainter was pretty strange. But so was everyone else.

Good morning. Take care and good luck.
----
No
Very well. Please come again, any time.
-Guy in tie in house next to cow, after Carpainter loses to Ness

Get over here as fast as you can! This thing is soooo cool!
See you soon! Slam! Beeeep...
-Call from Apple Kid
Hello, this is Apple Kid.
I just wanted to let you know that I finished a pretty unique invention.
I'm not sure if it will help you or not...
It's called "Zombie Paper," and it can be used to trap zombies.
It works kind of like fly paper...
All you need to do is place the paper on the floor of a tent or something...
You've seen at least one tent around, right? ....
and then the zombies get stuck to the paper
when they move around inside the tent.
You can catch a lot of zombies this way... In fact,
I bet you could get rid of all the zombies
that are terrorizing the area with this paper!
Anyway, I just asked the Mach Pizza delivery man
to deliver the Zombie Paper to you, Ness.
You should get it pretty soon.
I've never actually seen a zombie, but if there really are any,
Zombie Paper would be very useful...
I'll be calling you if I come up with anything else...
*Click!* Beeeeep!
-Apple Kid's call to Ness in Threed
Hello, this is Apple Kid.
I've come up with another invention that I think has real potential.
Maybe you won't, but anyway...
it's called the "Gourmet Yogurt Machine."
It makes many different flavors of yogurt.
The only problem is, right now,
it can only make trout-flavored yogurt...
So, I'm having the machine delivered to you via Escargo Express.
It's coming "Neglected Class."
Yeah, everything is...
(Kaboooom!)
Uh, I'vegotsomeproblemsheregottago, bye!
-Apple Kid calling after exiting Moonside
Hello! How are you? This is Apple Kid.
I think I'm a real genius... In fact, I know I'm a genius.
Why? Well, I have discovered the primary enemy of you and of all humanity.
We have to fight and defeat this being...
To do so, we need to invent a machine called the "Phase Distorter."
I've got to find the wandering scientist,
Dr. Adonuts, and make the distorter. So I may be gone for a while.
Later... *click*
-Apple Kid's phone call to Ness in the Monotoli Building
Hello! This is Orange Kid.
Sorry, I haven't called lately.
I'm still working on the way to change boiled eggs into raw eggs.
It's taking longer than I thought...
I'm going to really work at it, though... talk to me later.
*click*
-Orange Kid calling Ness in the Monotoli Building
Hello, Jeff?
Oh, happy day!
I finally got a hold of you...
Oh, Jeff!
Hi, it's me-- Tony.
I'm collecting player's names for a school project.
You know, players just like you!
That's right, you--the one holding the controller.
Would you register your name, please?
Don't spell your name wrong!
Thanks, game player!
Thank you very much!
Is this correct?
I apologize for any trouble this may have caused you.
Don't put my friend Jeff in any dangerous situations, okay?
I worry about him.
I really do...
Well, talk to you later...
...Jeff...
I hope that I can see you again when you are feeling up to it...
From T-O-N-Y...
You got that?
Well I've been on the phone too long...
Gotta go...
Good luck...
Take care...
So long...
This time, I'm really going to hang up.
Goodbye.
*Beeeeep*
-Tony's call after getting the Stoic club number from the guy in Toto
Hello, it's been a while since we talked... this is Apple Kid.
We're having beautiful weather here...
I'm now at Dr. Andonut's lab in Winters.
The doctor doesn't seem to be around right now,
but I'm just working on my Eraser Eraser Machine...
! !!!!!
Hey! Oh no! What are you doing to me?
Who are you ?!!!... *click*
-Call from Apple Kid after exiting Tenda Village
Ness, I haven't talked with you in ages! This is Orange Kid.
We're finally coming near to the end of our research on...
how to change a boiled egg back into a raw egg.
By the way, Apple Kid is missing.
He left here saying that he was going to see Dr. Andonuts in Winters,
and he never came back.
I was hoping to borrow the book "Overcoming Shyness" from him,
but suddenly, he disappeared...
I haven't read the book, so I'm not very good at talking... sorry.
I'm also working hard on my invention, so I hope you'll understand.
Say hello to your friends for me!
*click*
-Orange Kid's call after exiting the Tenda Village
Tomorrow I, Pokey, will tell you more about the strange meteorite.
I'm fine here, but you're bugging the officers!
-Pokey near police block to the meteorite
Hey! L-L-Listen to what I've got to say!
When I took Picky to the place where the meteorite landed...
Oh! Good evening ma'am. You're looking lovely as usual. *snicker*
Anyway, as I was saying,
the police that were guarding the meteorite landing left suddenly
to deal with the Sharks. You know the Sharks, they're the local ruffians,
and they were really going wild. Suddenly, I noticed that Picky was gone.
I blame the cops... it certainly wasn't my fault at all.
When my dad gets back, I know I'm gonna get it...
You're my bestest friend. Won't YOU help me find Picky?
Yes
------
No
If you refuse me, I'll say something that'll cut you like a knife.
Will you come with me?
Yes
Ok, good buddy! Let's blow this popsicle stand...
Before we go, why don't you say "goodbye" to your mom. Don't you agree, ma'am?
--
No
Okay, okay... I won't say anything to hurt you.
Will you please come with me?
Yes
--
No
-Pokey after knocking on Ness's door
Sorry about giving you this game-type advice, but you should equip your weapon!
Do you know what "equip" means?
Yes
Okay, that's good. Be sure to pay attention to details like that.
----
No
It means "use" or "wear."
You must equip items in order to use or wear them.
"Equip" is used a lot in games like this,
but you already knew that...
-Pokey on the couch when Ness hasn't equipped the Cracked bat
All right! You go out in front, and I'll follow at a safe distance.
Let's get going!
(Pokey joins you.)
-After Ness changes out of his jammies
The phone is ringing! Answer it!
At my house, my dad gets bent if I don't get the phone...
within the first three rings!
-Pokey when Ness tries to leave home when his dad calls
Hey Ness! Like I said, my dad isn't home yet!
You've got to bring Picky back before he comes home!
I'll try to help you a little.
-Taking Pokey home without Picky
Hey, Ness! You're just here to bother me, aren't you.
You can call me Master Pokey,
since Mr. Carpainter made me an important person in Happy-Happyism.
You should join us, but I know you won't... I'm glad I joined...
I'm not going to fight you, but these guys will... Later potater...
-Master Pokey, after Ness exits Paula's jail cell in Happy-Happy
What a horrible nightmare. I somehow woke up.
Ness, let's be friends again.
Please answer me. I promise to be good. ...uh ...okay?
Hah! I lied! See you, sucker!
-After Ness beats Carpainter
Oooo la la. This... is my poor old friend...
Ah... what's your name...
Pig's Butt.. no no, Ness!
Didn't you come here to beg me for some money?
Oooo la la.
Don't you recognize me?
I'm Master Pokey!
Pokey!
Get it?
I'm now Geldegarde Monotoli's partner,
and I give him political and economic advice.
I heard there were some ratty-looking kids asking for Mr. Monotoli...
Was that you Ness?
This isn't a place for the likes of you!
Get outta here! Now, loser!
-Pokey in the Monotoli Building
You're so out of it.
I've ordered "Trout-flavored Yogurt."
It's very popular among gourmets.
Aren't you jealous that I get to eat such a tongue-tickling treat?
Ha ha ha!
"Trout-flavored Yogurt"... Oooo, I can't wait!
I'm starting to drool all over myself just thinking about it.
-Pokey in Monotoli Building later
Ness, you pin-headed idiot, you're just a half-step too slow!
I'm getting outta here!
Since Monotoli has become a plain, old man again, I have no more use for him.
This helicopter will really come in handy.
Looks like you're the world-class loser again!
-Pokey in the helicopter
Heh heh heh heh.
You must really be at the end of your rope.
In this bizarre dimension, you four are the only force fighting for justice...
And here you stand,
waiting to be burned up with all the rest of the garbage of this universe...
Haaaaah!
That's so sad. I can't help but shed a tear.
You know, my heart is beating incredibly fast,
... I must be experiencing absolute terror!
Do you want to scream for help here in the dark?!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Why not call your mommy, Ness!
Say, "Mommy! Daddy! I'm so frightened. I think I'm gonna wet my pants!"
I know you have telepathy or something so just try and call for help; you pathetic weak heroes of so-called justice!
No one will help you now!
Ha ha ha ha haah...
I understand you guys are already claiming to be heroes.
Well, it is a gazillion years too early for you to oppose Giygas!
You must feel pretty stupid to keep fighting without even knowing what Giygas looks like!
If you were to ever see Giygas, you'd be so petrified with fear; you'd never be able to run away!
That's how scary it is!
So do you want me to turn off the "Devil's Machine?"
Well, prepare to be amazed!
So, isn't this terrifying? I'm terrified, too.
Giygas cannot think rationally anymore, and he isn't even aware of what he is doing right now.
His own mind was destroyed by his incredible power.
What an all-mighty idiot!
Yep, that's what he is!
Heh heh heh
And you will be too!
Ness! Now, I... well... It's going to seem like I'm running away
But perhaps I'll just sneak away to another era to think about my next plan.
It's a good bet that we will see each other again...
All right! I'll be seeing you!
"Come and get me, loser! Spankety, spankety spankety,"
-Pokey's Letter
"To fight against the invaders, we built this pyramid fortress.
However, our efforts were futile, and we lost.
Nonetheless, our pyramid was protected by the gods of Scaraba.
The invaders will be reborn every millennium and will attack again.
Even now, the invaders hide beyond space and time and build their evil stronghold.
A place out of time is beyond the Dark, and is even farther beyond the Lost Underworld.
The Deep Darkness is shrouded, it is without light.
Only one with the Hawk eye can pierce the dark.
The Sphinx now watches over everything,
waiting for the coming of a truly brave hero.

If you want to recover, there is a village full of...
interesting people... just head. Go there and take a good rest.
I have heard that the name of this village is Saturn Valley,
but it cannot be found on any map.
I enjoy helping those who are in trouble.

Master Belch is the slimiest!
However, I heard he's also serving some Giygas guy. That I cannot believe.

So, you're the ones that destroyed the zombies that I assigned to Threed!!
-Belch's underling, next to room w/ the 3 trashcans in the factory
Aren't you the Fly Honey delivery boy? What's the password!

What a suspicious fellow!
-Slimly Little Pile in room with green spills
Buuurp!

There's a prophecy that a boy will destroy Master Giygas.
