Battle Against a Weird Opponent: Earthbound Music

 Here is another one of my popular vgm videos from Earthbound. According to my YouTube videos, this is one of my heavily commented videos. This is definitely the most whackiest songs in the game. The name of this is aptly titled. This does sound weird and must be what its charm is. Thanks everyone for supporting my videos. I am glad to share some truly great video game music with everyone in an easy to listen format. What better way than YouTube? Thanks again!

    [..YouTube..] @fruitfruit7Are you mentally retarded or something?

  2. 2 twilightsonic

    [..YouTube..] wat do you mean im fine

  3. 3 DarkLink9393

    [..YouTube..] Who calls people noobs on Youtube?

  4. 4 DarkLink9393

    [..YouTube..] That’s the point. This plays when your fighting a weird enemy, so it’s supposed to be weird.

  5. 5 burnfireburn

    [..YouTube..] It makes them feel better.

  6. 6 DarkLink9393

    [..YouTube..] … ok… but no one calls people noobs on Youtube.

  7. 7 burnfireburn

    [..YouTube..] You’d be surprised on how many people do.

  8. 8 DarkLink9393

    [..YouTube..] I wouldn’t be suprised if someone used it on Runescape, World of Warcraft, or something like that, but not Youtube.

  9. 9 burnfireburn

    [..YouTube..] Lets just be glad you dont see it…

  10. 10 DarkLink9393

    [..YouTube..] Ok…

  11. 11 burnfireburn

    [..YouTube..] Indeed….

  12. 12 mrgameandpie

    [..YouTube..] the problem is that most enemys near the end of the game could be considered weird

  13. 13 OgnarPliskin

    [..YouTube..] All enemies in this game are weird.

  14. 14 NoNoWasHere

    [..YouTube..] true LOL.

  15. 15 TendoMan77

    [..YouTube..] Cept the Runaway dog along with Frank and his goons :/.

  16. 16 elebits4545

    [..YouTube..] Ness looks cute on the reflection of starman visor. ^_^Somehow I see Ness happy with his arms up but I think he’s freaked out by starman as a alien.

  17. 17 EarthboundedNess

    [..YouTube..] I love them all. :P

  18. 18 EarthboundedNess

    [..YouTube..] Eh? o-o”

  19. 19 OgnarPliskin

    [..YouTube..] I don’t see what’s not so weird about some guys that take over an arcade, their leader fights in a mech, gets beat by a kid with a bat, and quickly reforms his ways.And for the dog, well…it just howls while getting hit with a bat rather than fighting.

  20. 20 TendoMan77

    [..YouTube..] Err Frankie has a robot. I don’t think a mech would even fit in the Arcade back lot.

  21. 21 OgnarPliskin

    [..YouTube..] Eh, mech, robot, same thing. It’s a mechanical being that shoots lasers at little kids with bats, right?

  22. 22 Forestknight25

    [..YouTube..] Always makes me think of Coil Snake…*the Coil Snake coiled around you and attacked!*

  23. 23 pokerockmario123

  26. 26 UKTFjeja

    [..YouTube..] Lmao, now I see it like that! D= XD

  27. 27 MrJohnny12

    [..YouTube..] It didn’t really shoot lasers, did it? Nah, it was a pile of crap. It could only ram into you or something.

  28. 28 OMGPOOPFACE

    [..YouTube..] Lol, I feel like I am on shrooms again…

    [..YouTube..] SHIT I’M TRIPPIN OUT

  36. 36 Legalus240

    [..YouTube..] It took away one of the best aspects of the game, Comedy, however there were some funny parts in mother 3, In EB just about everything had something funny about it, even the final boss.

  37. 37 spinkick21

    [..YouTube..] Ramblin’ evil mushroom A scattered some spores!Ness dodged swiftly!Ness: WHEW!Ramblin evil mushroom B scattered some sporesNess ._.Ness is feeling funky…Ness: O_o *falls over*

  43. 43 0megadon

  44. 44 TolaMacarino

    [..YouTube..] No, you are not.

  45. 45 Tyler555556

    [..YouTube..] Yeah… You’re right.

  46. 46 ExeggutorLover

    [..YouTube..] Idiot… Ramblin’ Evil Mushroom doesn’t fit with this song.

  47. 47 SuperWario427

    [..YouTube..] The Pogo Punk fell down.

  48. 48 spidertrax

    [..YouTube..] Where can I find a MIDI file of this song?

  49. 49 marth231

    [..YouTube..] Attack Slug A and its Cohorts Atack!

  50. 50 IMMABLUESTARGIRL

    [..YouTube..] UH OH

  51. 51 kl4969

    [..YouTube..] Having many, many different battle themes for a single game is an awesome idea. They should do it in more.

  52. 52 vaneyknight

    [..YouTube..] Pogo Punk A called for help!But no one came…I love when stuff like that didnt worked…

  53. 53 friedmushroom

    [..YouTube..] you engage the attack slug!Now is time for a surprise attack!Ness used bash!SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!Ness did 345 HP of damage!Attack Slug became tame!YOU WON!Ness gained 5 exp

  54. 54 EmpoleMew

    [..YouTube..] This is my favorite of the normal enemy battle themes.

  55. 55 POGOPUNK32

    [..YouTube..] Pogo Punk fell down!Pogo Punk called for help,but no one came!

  56. 56 megabanjo03

    [..YouTube..] 1 hp of mortal damage to Ness. :(

  57. 57 mariofreak10

    [..YouTube..] Why so much bass? Oh well, good song.

  58. 58 unionofonion

    [..YouTube..] They wont.It’s all about the pretty graphics now.

  59. 59 OriginalTopRooster

    [..YouTube..] (Reply to kl4969) because I know Youtube will stick this at the top of the page.Sonic Chronicles uses three or four different themes for regular battles as well. Some people still get it, it seems.

  60. 60 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] This song is alright… Not really impressive… It’s something that most people wouldn’t remember unless something important happened during this song just like how the Forest Maze song became popular, Geno is in that part, and viola, the song was loved, but this song isn’t bad, though in my opinion, it isn’t that good either.

  61. 61 NewKokujinOptions

    [..YouTube..] Rake dat Snake!

  62. 62 Uchiha1775

    [..YouTube..] For some reason on the backgrounds it makes you feel like your high

  63. 63 Atanih23

    [..YouTube..] Coil snakes, for some reason they creep me out.

  64. 64 pantseeker2

    [..YouTube..] well that is because you SHOULD be high :3

  65. 65 StarmanAdvance

    [..YouTube..] I always yelled at the game, “You have no friends!” when ever that happened.

  66. 66 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] Really? Is this song really considered amazing? Why? Because it’s in Earthbound? Is that the only reason? Can anyone give me a GOOD reason why this song is “good” or “amazing”? Someone with musical knowledge preferably that doesn’t misuse the word “beat”? Anyone?

  67. 67 AshkinsProductions

    [..YouTube..] Oh god, not another runaway dog.

  68. 68 gropwel

    [..YouTube..] Ok I like the song for its house beat, cool jazzy pop bass appearing at 0:20 sec, the sort of loco mood that it transcend using the long and short background key board notes from time to time. It is a little off beat too which makes it even a little more groovy. I definitly see some funky battle going on that song. I like this song but who am I to judge people tastes?

  69. 69 mrgameandpie

    [..YouTube..] I personally like the way it sounds computery (I know that isn’t a word, but I can’t think of one that would replace it well at this time) around the beginning. You should realize I only have MOTHER 3 by the way.

  70. 70 mastersmasher2021

    [..YouTube..] this right here is some good battle music!

  71. 71 Doct8r

    [..YouTube..] seriously i dont know why but this music sounds like its a sex offender that uses candy to lure children into his house 0_0 sorry i had to say it…

  72. 72 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] I don’t think that’s a pop bass… Anyhow, at least you’re trying. Still, I feel like people only like this song because it’s in Earthbound.

  73. 73 Wii4a11

    [..YouTube..] we all gotta get things off of our chest now and then

  74. 74 Wii4a11

    [..YouTube..] pogo punks piss people off!say THAT 5 times fast :O

  75. 75 ShadowWaffle

    [..YouTube..] Really? This is my favorite battle song in the game regardless of it being earthbound or not, it was the only song that actually made me come on youtube and search for it, it’s completely possible for people to like it. Whenever i run into a new enemy i say: “please be that one song i like, please” lol

  76. 76 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] I can accept that. No worries, I’m not stating that ALL of the fans of Earthbound are fanboys, I’m stating majority is. Alot of the same people say “This song is amazing.” And it’s irritating because you know they only like it cause of Earthbound. You’ll check ratings for this game “Best graphics for SNES” “Best SNES music ever.” “Best SNES story ever.” “Best SNES game ever.” I’ve tried games that are better games, and they don’t get I love Earthbound, it’s one of my favorite games.

  77. 77 TheFistOfPoop36

    [..YouTube..] This is… Grove

  78. 78 ToniShinobi

    [..YouTube..] Best. Battle. Theme. Ever.

  79. 79 grassinigrassini

    [..YouTube..] its annoying but its addictive.the whole game mindblows you to death.

  80. 80 tips2854

    [..YouTube..] Its true! :D

  81. 81 unclesamxlr

    [..YouTube..] Amen to that, gotta love Earthbound.

  82. 82 VaeAsinus

    [..YouTube..] I can’t say this is my favorite track in the game, but it’s certainly a contender for best/funkiest bassline.

  83. 83 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] In my honest opinion, this bassline isn’t really all that good… Nor is it really complex or interesting… Speaking as a bassist : P

  84. 84 VaeAsinus

    [..YouTube..] And in my honest opinion, you’re kind of a douchenozzle. Guess we’ll have to agree to disagree, eh? Speaking as a multi-instrumentalist, and a…y’know…non-douchenozzle.

  85. 85 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] Listen, you can comment me and apply your opinion that I will accept if you’re reasonable, however, insulting me is uncalled for. Had I insulted you? Negative. Anyhow, I play more than just bass. I just specialize in Bass as one of my primary instruments. I also have enough knowledge in music theory to play any stringed instrument I wish, however, I wish to become great at the instruments I enjoy most. Have a nice day : P Anyhow, leave the name calling at home k? Thanks.

  86. 86 VaeAsinus

    [..YouTube..] My sincerest apologies if you were “insulted.” I suppose you could call it a roundabout way of saying that I don’t especially value your honest opinion (judging from a few of the other EB music vids, it seems like neither do several other people), especially when you directly reply to my comment. Perhaps not your intention, but it seems awfully contrarian. Now, likewise, I’m sure my opinion means jack shit to you and 99% of the rest of the internet, so let’s leave it at that and go about our way

  87. 87 VaeAsinus

    [..YouTube..] Oh, and thank you, by the way. I’ll try to have a fantastic day, and I hope you do the same. =D

  88. 88 meganess64

    [..YouTube..] best track in the game!!!(2) :D

  89. 89 RPGguy2006

    [..YouTube..] This song always reminds me of the song Proclamation from Gentle Giant for some reason.

  90. 90 mariovssonic64

    [..YouTube..] i like how they have the ufo noise in the backround in the very beginning. you can hear that noise somethimes in caves in mother 3 too.

  91. 91 GeneralCane

    [..YouTube..] This is the song that would play if you fought me. :P

  92. 92 enclosedinstructions

    [..YouTube..] don’t make me kill you…

  93. 93 GeneralCane

    [..YouTube..] But then you’d win the battle and have to go through the 3-minute ordeal of throwing something away or leaving the cookie behind?

  94. 94 enclosedinstructions

    [..YouTube..] ARGH…I constantly wish for an ‘eat on the spot’ option…I know! I’d eat weak food items as I go along to conserve inventory space!

  95. 95 xXMethodKidXx

    [..YouTube..] earthbound was the best rpg ever made, in my opinion, better than pokemon. It had the most greatest story line i have ever played through and some of the best music i have ever heard. i almost cried playing this game, its heart breaking. Its just to bad mother 3 was never released in the u.s. , but rumor has it they are making a earthbound for the ds, dont get to excited about it, its a RUMOR

  96. 96 jotokun

    [..YouTube..] I completely agree, the earthbound series is the best series ever, although i think that mother 3 was better. However, they are very close, almost neck and neck. When describing it to my friends, I tell them its like a more complex, better version of pokemon due to both of them being created by the same company(Creatures, inc. was originally Ape)Whats nice about these earlier tracks is, since they arent used for long, you can go to them after beating the game and they still feel new and fresh.

  97. 97 Airking4321

    [..YouTube..] i dig dis hot beat…DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION ANYONE?

  98. 98 theblode1337

    [..YouTube..] I love the music in both Earthbound and MOTHER 3. I’d scoop up a MOTHER 2/3 combo on the DS and play it with my eyes closed and throughly enjoy myself. Sadly, due to legal issues, neither game is going to be re-released anytime soon.

  99. 99 RobochaoXX

    [..YouTube..] Dude I love the bass in this song.

  100. 100 Airking4321

    [..YouTube..] some weird dude came up and tried to talk to me;this music started playing in my head.it was…awkward.

  101. 101 limitable1

    [..YouTube..] i LOVE earthbound but it cant be the best rpg of curzfor many ppl this the only rpg they played but theres alot more like cronno trigger, final fantasy,secret of mana (epic snes rpg’s) and btw many ppl think that pokemon is one of the worst rpg’s ever made lol

  102. 102 PaperGeneralguy

    [..YouTube..] This music really fits the enemies it plays for.

  103. 103 robloxandpikminfan

    [..YouTube..] trippy…

  104. 104 SanMateoBuddhistdude

    [..YouTube..] fight against reggie, use this song cuz he’s a weird dumbass that won’t think this is a virtual console game. i think they so should put thi for vc

  105. 105 MetaCrossing

    [..YouTube..] I want to go to McDonald’s now…

  106. 106 stravarese

    [..YouTube..] It seems that quarter tone or something is used in this music, I think.

  107. 107 mario12345h

    [..YouTube..] This would play if you battled Captain Underpants… lmao.

  108. 108 LKDynamite7

    [..YouTube..] Wedgie Power.

  109. 109 mario12345h

    [..YouTube..] Captain Underpants shouted, “Tra la laaa!”Ness’s guts went down by 10.

  110. 110 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] In a World where I return, there is me, myself and I. Anyhow, still don’t think this song is all that good and that most people enjoy it only because it’s associated with Earthbound.

  111. 111 ilovemarioparty7

    [..YouTube..] no his would be battle against a machine bacause he has no soul and isnt human!! Earthbound for VC

  112. 112 Crash22203

    [..YouTube..] Meh…I don’t like this song as much either…

  113. 113 LKDynamite7

    [..YouTube..] Ness used PSI Rain!Captain Underpants felt strange…Infuriated Mr. Krupp appeared!

  114. 114 mario12345h

    [..YouTube..] Jeff used a finger snap!*SNAP!*Infuriated Mr. Krupp became Captain underpants!

  115. 115 ETWIST51294

    [..YouTube..] No. This music only plays when you fight wierd enemys, like attack slugs.

  116. 116 ETWIST51294

    [..YouTube..] I like it…

  117. 117 DTY16

    [..YouTube..] while it’s not amazing, u gotta know that at tthe time, a lot (but not all) of video game music was shit; it’s pretty good)P.S. It has an awseome dance beat tho.

  118. 118 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] I disagree about that statement where alot of music wasn’t good back then. In this day and age, I hardly hear anymore amazing video game songs, but here are some games with awesome songs.EarthboundSuper Mario RPGSuper Mario All Stars (All the Mario games)Super Mario WorldDonkey Kong CountryToejam and EarlChrono TriggerFinal FantasyContraZeldaAnd these were just popular XDP.S. … I wouldn’t know “^^ I don’t know how to dance T_T XD

  119. 119 Airking4321

    [..YouTube..] EarthboundMetroid (Series)Pikmin 1 and 2and a big favEarthworm Jim 1 and 2just listen to the EWJ songs u’ll like it

  120. 120 barakafan

    [..YouTube..] Infuriated Mr.Krupp shouts madly!Poo’s health went down by 42!Giygas is h.a.p.p.y!

  121. 121 DTY16

    [..YouTube..] i think you misunderstood me. I should have said SOME music. The funny thing is, those games you listed were the ones i was thinking about.Also, i don’t know why you get so many downvotes on these vids; you do say a couple of jackass things, but your previous comment shouldn’t have been downvoted. Can everybody please ease up on Siberianhusky89? He’s being extremely polite. (i.e. have a nice day)^There’s nothing wrong with that comment.

  122. 122 Siberianhusky89

    [..YouTube..] Thanks XD But… Did you have to say JACKASS things? T_T XD I mean, it sounds a bit harsh is all XD Ah well, again, thank you.

  123. 123 DevinsFavoriteVideos

    [..YouTube..] When,I played,EB,for the,first time,and,I heard,this theme,it was,so awesome,but still,sent,made me,feel uneasy.[: <3

  124. 124 PAMuffinMan

    [..YouTube..] Marauding Octobot takes a step back…Marauding Octobots body solidified!

  125. 125 xXMethodKidXx

    [..YouTube..] cmon i love this song, its not shitty at all and games back then had great music, like EB, megaman x, r-type, and more.

  126. 126 DTY16

    [..YouTube..] dude, i covered that already, and i love this song too. when i was talking about bad songs back then, i was definetely NOT talking about SNES games.^_^

  127. 127 HAPokey

    [..YouTube..] Listening to this with earphones makes it sound like the guy you’re fighting’s on LSD.I remember this was my favorite battle theme when I first started Earthbound.

  128. 128 Kantenstain

    [..YouTube..] OMG! Best fighting theme EVER! XD

  129. 129 AkumaUchitoru

    [..YouTube..] I should have said this a long time ago, but Airking, that is awesome. XD

  130. 130 Airking4321

    [..YouTube..] omgawd how did i get thumbed up 29 times?wow…i’ll have to thank that nerd someday.

  131. 131 AkumaUchitoru

    [..YouTube..] You mean nerds right? :) I don’t think you can really thumbs up someone more than once. ^^ But yeah, your comments rock! :D I had a similarly good comment on Silvagunner’s Final Fantasy VII Barret’s Theme saying “I pity the foo who doesn’t like Final Fantasy!” and it got +34 so far. XD

  132. 132 Airking4321

    [..YouTube..] i was talking about the nerd that tried to talk to me, and it was really awkward, so yeah, thaz where mah comment came from,im not a nerd, though, i really only like pikmin and earthbound, but i don’t really play it much,but i play lots of sports and im packed this summer with friends and sports, but keep in mind my brother uses this account too, and he obviously is a nerd if he’s that obsessed with games.while im obsessed with fashion XDoh and earthbound fans aren’t nerds, they’re winners.

  133. 133 AkumaUchitoru

    [..YouTube..] lol. I’m sure some games made me a winner too. XD Okay, I forgot about that. That coincidence is amazing though. XD

  134. 134 byzantinespy31

  138. 138 SanMateoBuddhistdude

    [..YouTube..] this song is sooo catchy. even though it sounds off tne, it’s PK rockin!

  139. 139 Airking4321

    [..YouTube..] well ya,cause i would go though therapy if i had to fight barf, visit an alternate dimension, find that i have psychic powers, and have my soul get transferred into a robot and travel back in time to fight something that i can’t even grasp the true form of.i’d be in therapy faster than any lindsay lohan on crack.

  140. 140 speeps84

    [..YouTube..] ya knowi should REALLY play this game over again without save statescause it makes the game waaaaaaaay too easy

  141. 141 luckjes112

    [..YouTube..] lolz! at the background of the music it sounds a bit drumming beat!
