promised gold if Earthquake killed certain people. Greedy Earthquake
decided to become a servant of this demon... "*Guffaw,* in the end, I'll
kill you as well."

BM: "Hee hee hee hee hee. Aren't you skinny?"
AM: "Oops! I've turned him into mincemeat!"
BV: "Hee hee hee! You'd (be) better on a diet!"
AV: "So I said you should've been on a diet! Hee hee!"
IM: "Give me that treasure!"
"Don't tease me!"
"I'll disregard you!"
F: "Treasure appears at last!"
"Don't disturb me! Get out of my way!"

Notes: Earthquake can triangle jump.
Earthquake cannot be thrown normally. Instead, the opponent does a
kick combo against him.
Multiple Images--if your opponent slashes at the wrong image, a bomb
will appear. After a short delay, it will explode into a purple gas
cloud, hitting a nearby opponent who is not blocking. Kicks and
most Special Moves do not set the bomb off, although "slashing"
Special Moves will.

Ending:
Earthquake is standing in the forest, swinging his chain around. "Alright
boys, c'mon out!" Earthquake's gang jumps one by one onto the screen, and
bow to him. "Where's Chinpei?" Earthquake asks. "He strayed from us on the
way over. We don't know where he went." "Hrmph, I missed the treasure
too." Chinpei emerges from a small hole in the ground. "Look boss! I
found a passage to the evil world!" "You did? Make room for me!"
Earthquake does his butt bounce, which cracks the ground wide open. He
bounces in. "Boss! Wait for us, boss!" Earthquake's gang all jump in the
hole, one by one. From below, Earthquake says, "Hee hee hee, look at all
the marvelous treasure!" The judge, Kuroko, walks on screen again and
begins to speak, "Now, they can never return to this world again. At least
it will be more peaceful here."
