NOTE: This does NOT happen with emulators/ROMs! This only happens with bootleg cartridges! LAST BOSS SPOILERS! EarthBound's programming was full of anti-piracy stuff. It would often check to see if the game was on a cartridge copier or on a pirate cartridge and then it'd do all kinds of stuff. This video is an example of one of the last checks it does in the game... and it's also one of the most evil things a designer could do. It's so bad it's genius. Anyway, check it out. More info on other stuff like this is at http://starmen.net/mother2/gam...

I was kind of hoping it would be more insulting instead of program-tastic. One final insult before it freezes. Something worth a laugh before being given the boot.

Pokey: Well, isn't this interesting? Ness... it seems you're pirating this game. Giygas cannot think rationally anymore, but he is aware of your illegal activity... Hasn't your conscience yet stopped you from playing this cartridge? What an almighty idiot you are! Hehehe... hehe... And your... your save files... will be... just another meal to him! *CORRUPTED DATA* *reset* Ness: DAMN YOU, POKEY! :O

Don't forget that this is one of the final occurrences of the check. Couldn't this also happen near the beginning of the game?

If you really named him DAMN! Then.... (At the final boss) Gigyas:DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! You cannot comprehend Gigyas's swearing.

when game freezes, shouldn't it stay in the position it was and not just freeze to some random position? (1:22) sorry my english is bad :T
