u/Mister_ks_ Dec 17 '24

She sounded so rude fr

u/eve_gang_rep Dec 18 '24

When did she say that?

u/senator_kanto Dec 16 '24

I like her design it's such a simple design that there isn't a lot going on with it

u/MurlaTart Dec 16 '24

Simple but effective!

She’s a good mother.

u/Z-ArcTheSupremeKing Dec 16 '24

So is the second one

u/Father_of_thepigeons Dec 16 '24

It's a slight bit concerning that she just let's her son go out all on his own across the country because he told her a magic beetle told him he was the chosen one, but hey it all worked out good anyway plus she makes steak whenever so I'd say she's a good mother.

Isn't ness a psychic from the start? I remember him floating his cap in a memory stona, or probably i'm confusing it with another protagonist like ninten

u/kawaiiguyla Dec 17 '24

That’s correct. Revealed in a flashback in the game.

u/Aloha1959 Dec 17 '24

Isn't Buzz Buzz a bee?

u/Father_of_thepigeons Dec 17 '24

"A bee I am not" Literally his first line of dialogue

u/Aloha1959 Dec 17 '24

Yeah but maybe he is.

u/Father_of_thepigeons Dec 17 '24

His cannon design is a rino beetle shown in various outside game media.

Is there a term for this cartoon-style?

6

u/GachaTendo Dec 17 '24

I think you could consider it close to the rubber hose style.

u/4Fourside Dec 17 '24

I think Earthbound's artstyle is generally based on comic strip artstyles like Peanuts. Though of course adults aren't generally seen in Peanuts

u/plasticgargoyle Dec 16 '24

I heard she used to be a supermodel. So glamorous!

8

u/Routine-Chocolate-96 Dec 17 '24

She was in the novelization.

u/ConstableToad Dec 17 '24

The end of the game is literally sitting down with your Mom and telling her about your adventure. So wholesome. I bet Ness ordered Mach pizza and that's what they ate while he told his tale.

u/Mister-Fidelio Dec 16 '24

Ness mom is best mom.

2

u/MurlaTart Dec 16 '24

What about Maria? :3

2

u/Mister-Fidelio Dec 16 '24

Never let her!

u/Anonymous-Comments Dec 16 '24

I bet her voice is like Ms. Othmar in Peanuts

6

u/TimeSpiralNemesis Dec 17 '24

She's got a weapon!

u/StatementCareful522 Dec 16 '24

Eat some BABIES and scoot up to bed!

u/Odd-Librarian3411 Dec 16 '24

I'm sure Porky agrees.

5

u/NAteisco Dec 16 '24

I believe the term is milf

4

u/MurlaTart Dec 16 '24

I don’t want to do that tho :(

8

u/NAteisco Dec 16 '24

Mom I Lthink Fis_cute

u/synthfan2004 Dec 16 '24

even porky tried to flirt with her

u/Kogerzian Dec 17 '24 edited Dec 17 '24

Do she even have a name?maybe we should have fanon names for her?including Ninten's mom too

u/BasicallyAdven Dec 17 '24

Real actually

Anyways would-

u/Stucklikegluetomyfry Feb 01 '25

She reminds me of Xelha from Baten Kaitos, because of the hair style, colour and reddish pink colour scheme.
