"Bro just stay alive for more 30 seconds i'm about to respawn" The situation I'm in:

It's crazy to realize that Ness and company technically didn't defeat Giygas themselves; it took literal prayer and divine intervention to do so. That alone is terrifying to think about.

3:01 In music theory this is called a "Fuck You" transition

Giygas is literally one of the scariest, most genius, and most underrated video game villains of all time. He’s *literally the concept itself of evil incarnate,* but if you read his lore, he’s so much more than just that. He’s a symbolic representation for how if you let hatred, evil, and trauma run unchecked within you it will destroy you. Pokey’s lines right before you fight Giygas give credence to this: “He’s not even aware of what he’s doing. His own mind was destroyed by his own power. He’s an almighty idiot!”

what it feels like to be awake for the entire night when you’re trying to sleep

You think Lavender Town is scary? That's cute.

What I love about giygas’s theme is that it’s not bombastic and chest-pounding like “One-Winged Angel” or uptempo and boisterous like “Megalovania”, it’s subtle eerie. Giygas isn’t trying to prove how tough and powerful he is in this battle. He has already become a near- unstoppable force, a being of pure rage and hatred. He is so powerful that he is literally only defeated by prayer- conventional methods such as direct attack are totally no-sold. This theme is not “I am all powerful” It is a being incapable of rational thought, with no motive at all outside of blind, destructive anger for all of reality, lashing out at you and coming very, very close to obliterating you with a swat of its hand

Fun Fact: Giygas internally has 20,000 HP, but is programmed to fully heal every turn. The only reason why praying eventually kills him is that it eventually does more than 20K damage in one hit, meaning the heal can't take effect. Theoretically if you had an attack that could deal over 20,000 damage, you could defeat him before it's scripted to, although I'm not sure what kind of glitches this may cause since the game doesn't expect him to die early.

This is very iconic, I love how ominous it sounds Giygas is a very creepy yet legendary boss that was ahead of it's time.

Imagine if there was a character that just absorbs all this anger and reflects it back at Giygas

3:03 absolutely destroyed me

I still remember how dark this game was, between master belch, and pokey about to sacrafice paula with the happy cult....it's amazing how we even got this game in the states.

This is the scariest song I've ever listened, I love it despite that. I don't know how they can do this masterpiece!

Try to sleep listening that

Earthbound has a unique soundtrack. From jazzy enemy battle themes, cheerful town themes to some surprisingly creepy atmospheric themes like the final boss, the caves, and the beginning night when the meteor lands.

and thay say the SNES is a kids toy

Lavender Town is very cute

Imagine if after Lucas pulls the last needle and everything goes dark, instead of hearing all the characters, it's utter silence, then a familiar red visage appears on the screen.

Fun fact: in the song “amalgam” in undertale it uses parts of the songs as background effects

It's interesting that you can still make out a sort of rhythm to this music if you listen close enough. The music sounds chaotic, but it's planned chaos.

1:19 gives me chills

this is what it sounds like when you play a game through a dishwasher

I felt how my heart was trying to be calm and not scared... I know heart... we're friends.. just don't let giygas be one, it's a trap..

the good theme start in 1:19

Me: Is going downstairs for a snack The giant shadowy figure in the corner of the room: 0:14

Listening to this at 2 AM is truly an experience

It feels like ongoing pain you can't escape to the point where you want to die.

This Game shows that you don‘t need Final Bosses to be hard and tough challenges to be memorable

1:41 that whistling type sound in the background evokes fear. Lots of fear. It’s also kinda happy.

I never played Earthbound, but this spooks me out

*Giygas* : Noooo, my stream!! 3:19 *Twitch* : You are banned from Twitch

biggest asid trip ever

Me when a blue hedgehog with black eyes and crying blood tries to kill me:

When you explore levels of the internet deeper than pirate sites, 4chan and some black markets

One of the scariest tracks in gaming. Also, one of the most sampled songs in fan works

I’m a grown ass man but this honestly gives me chills.

H..... Holy shit! It went from peaceful to demonic at 3:03, that gave me shivers! 😱

I’ve always thought this is what being inside the eye of terror sounds like

imagine just walking down a lonely road at winter night and this start playing out of nowhere

Am I the only one who literally when I was 8 cried when this played?

the music box sound creeps me out and corrupts me like giygas

I found this final boss screen to be so weird. the concept of praying was a unique idea. But I would have liked to have seen him complete and in his right mind and than Pokey do something evil.

“rated E for everyone”

“What is going- I died.” “McJones?”

dude this ACTUALLY slaps

Giygas goes spheroswirling, crackaiedoscoping, spinrotating, colorpixeling, revosolutioning from 18p to 36p to 72p to 144p to 240p to 360p to 480p to 720p to 1080p HD to 1440p Ultra HD to 2160p 4K to 4320p 8K, lightexposuring, lightcontrasting, lightsaturationing, reverbancing, shivering, insane, psychotic, scariest, denomic, and crazy. And then dies and dissapear.

i dont know why but i love this so much

This is actually the scariest music I’ve ever heard in my life

Earthbound was a game made like something from the imagination of a child. In a way, Giygas makes since in this theme. It looks like the result of a child seeing something he wasn’t supposed to see and letting his imagination go crazy.

Is it strange that I listen to this to relax?

Everytime i listen to this it feels like everythings gonna be fine, verh peaceful. I love this.

Rated E for: Extremely traumatizing

0:41 "wake up f1lthy"

This makes Lavender town look like a Disney movie

My favorite part of this starts here; 3:19 .

I want to hear the full version of the cute part of this song!!!

POV: you bought cube runners and you go in the code “ZAZA”

Spoiler Warning: When Ness removed his mask and revealed that he was Sans Undertale all along I cried

Remember guys this is Toby fox childhood

breakcore artists trying not to sample this song

The Place still creeps me out more. I think it's the anticipation that gets me.

I heard this song on twitter so I didn't remember where it was from so I came back and... OMG what macabre music

I love Giygas, such an enigma

Most unsettling video game soundtrack I’ve heard. The exotic chords bouncing around aimlessly in the beginning really detach you from reality in a sedating way. Then you’re slowly pushed into being bombarded with erratic noise. As if some alien is trying to create noises we interpret as danger and panic. But it’s really well done. The awkward cadences, pauses, pulses of nonsense frequencies interrupted by short periods of prayer that bring audible symmetry to re-orient your ears, only to be brought back into the chaos is like audible water boarding.

Jesus Christ, I had this playing in the background and I was dozing off a little, then 3:03 happens and I nearly shit myself. Totally forgot that would happen for whatever reason, it caught me completely off guard.

That one sonic exe sound when you playing w knuckles

Game devs will say "is anyone gonna traumatize kids while also sending a message about unity and hope?" and not wait for an answer

comforting

3:36 slenderman

1:19 the uncanny mr incredible phase 28

I remember buying a Wii U just to play this game when it came to VC. Took me a month to finish the game with the help of an online walkthrough. Did the Giygas battle at night. This game was one of the most intense SNES experiences I ever had.

I could fall asleep to this like it's ASMR

This is the actual "Inakunarinasai" / "Cease to exist" theme.

1:53 love this

horror games and analog terrors will never manage to give a trauma like that of giygas

"Barrier" also amalgamate sounds

This is relaxing

When I get to giygas (Giegue) this will be fun.

And remember, he got like this ten years after the events of Earthbound Beginnings.

Well, that was uplifting

I wished they made earthbound more accessible in the states, it was such a good game and had it on my 3ds

What a creepy one. Thanks for uploading it ~

compared with lavender town , this is a *?!$ scary shit and lavender town is cute

Scary and soothing

this song is so creepy and i love it

Bests to listen to in the deepest pits of hell

When you turn off the tv...but the image and music keeps playing. Its time to panic.

Sonic.exe vibes right there

Damn the bass drop goes hard🔥

Ok but some parts are a bop, specifically before it gets pretty demonic

Reminds me of highschool, just a very nostalgic time for me. 2015-2019 such a big era for social media. and just coming of age. very creepy and nostalgic. reminds me of my highschool thats overdue on a 1969 renovation.

I remember how my dad played this song all night along and it gave me nightmares but i loved it.

this what i think the homie that decided to walk home at night alone hears

just realised that the start is used for BARRIER, the screams after are in AMALGAM too. Didn't realise how much Toby sampled Earthbound to make Undertale music.

putting this in my favorite music playlisy

It makes me feel like im stuck in some sort of flesh void where i can only watch as the area around me warps into weird shapes

Super nostalgic

It looks like A-60 from interminable rooms

That’s cool!

Certified hood classic
