sprite ROFISH

    (Note! If you have an entry for the contest, use the contest submission form at the bottom of this page! Only use the ‘More posting & formatting options’ link to upload stuff like screenshots, screencaps, etc.)

    Gameplay

    This is it. The final chapter. Giygas is waiting for you in the past. Challenge the universal cosmic destroyer, save the world, and don’t forget to enjoy the ending!

    Challenges

    • Enter the Phase Distorter with as few items as possible. No equipment, no food, Fox only, Final Destination.
    • Beat Giygas at Level 60 or under.
    • Beat Giygas with only Paula alive.
    • Remember the Shattered Man you avoided in the Summers museum? Go back and fight him after you’ve beaten Giygas. Don’t lose, though, or the game goes into a crazy death loop from which there is no escape!
    • And the final challenge: DO NOT ENJOY THE ENDING! Seriously, queue up the last part of Mother 3, and when Giygas disappears, switch off your SNES and watch the tearful ending on your GBA. It was all the masked man’s dream!
    • 1/128 CHALLENGE! The elusive Bionic Krakens drop the elusive Gutsy Bat. Win one and you can call yourself a real EB rock-n-rolla!

    Today’s Theme: Triumph

    Nothing says ‘mythic’ like a final showdown between good and evil. The most epic depiction of triumph wins one of Camille Young’s coveted Starman figurines!

    The player wins, the game ends.

    I drew a player who just beat Giygas and raises his fist in triumph. My scanner cropped the image a little but it still looks good.

    The Legendary Poem about Earthbound

    My well-woven lyrics into this poem of epical proportions, will leave you clapping on the end. (No crying until the end, please.) (And I really squeezed out a lot into just 4-6 pages.)

    "I heard that you defeated some universal evil character."

    I remember beating this for the first time and when this scene came up I was thinking "No. They can't be dead. That's not fair." It took about 30 seconds for their little 'spirits' to finally appear. *RELIEF* It still would've been an awesome final battle, but the fact that Ness and his friends survived was a plus. Done with pencils and Pens....and a ruler.

    Forgotten In The Darkness

    Years after his confrontation with cosmic horror, Ness’s youthful resilience erodes under the stresses of adulthood. In desperation, he searches for proof that his adventures were real, and not just a product of his questionable sanity.

    Forgotten In The Darkness is a fairly dark horror/adventure story, so while it isn’t for mature readers only, it’s safe to say that it’s at least PG-13. If you haven’t been scared off yet, read on and enjoy!

        Submission #3779 – You Cannot Grasp…

        http://local-static4.forum-files.fobby.net/submissions/0000/3779/You_Cannot_Grasp_.mp3

        The culmination of everyone in this Fanfest’s efforts, lending your power to Ness and Co to destroy a force bent on destroying all of existance as we know it, a force whose very form is inconcievable to any mortal. The sanctuaries are yours, the PSI is rockin, and your sword is of the kings. This is past the point of no return. Better change out of your jammies.

        Merry Christmas, CharlieBound!

        CharlieBound:Does anybody here know what a Fanfest is all about?! Jeff Van Pelt:I know what the Fanfest is all about CharlieBound. Lights please. "In the early 1900s, a dark shadow covered a small town in rural America. At the time, a young married couple vanished mysteriously from their home. The man's name was George, the woman's name was Maria Two years later, as suddenly as he left, George returned. He never told anybody where he had gone or what he had done. But, he began an odd study, all by himself. As for Maria, his wife... She never returned." That's what the Fanfest is all about CharlieBound.

        Thanks, mperret! I’m glad you enjoyed it, though I’m sure you could tell I wasn’t sure how to end it. (And, sadly, didn’t have time to figure it out…)

        I enjoyed reading your piece as well. I liked the way you wove present narrative with past narrative, and I thought the pacing of information disclosure (I’m not trained as a writer, so I’m not sure if there is a technical term for that) was especially well done.

        Thanks for your compliment also, reidman!

        RUFFINI! 'THAT ZANY POOCH' IN 'THE WRONG SPAGHETTI!'

        See, the theory goes that Ruffini - omniscient and omnipotent dog possessed by the game designer, was having spaghetti at a fine restaurant. However, he noticed that it was not actually spaghetti but instead some Devil's Machines and weird tentacle floor things. He got in a heated argument with the chef and in a fit of rage the chef threw the plate at another customer. The spaghetti sauce made a telltale pattern on her perfectly white blouse and was infused with the anger of the chef and the customer. This spaghetti sauce stain was wrought from a culinary mistake of which the true nature could never be comprehended. And so, Giygas was born into the mutiverse as a spaghetti sauce stain.

        Not sure if above is uploaded correctly. When I edited it, it disappeared altogether.

        Giygas is defeated, but now Paula’s friend from another world is in trouble, and only Paula can save him. A story of the triumph of faith in the power of Earthbound!

        (Yes, I’m aware that Paula can’t use Lifeup… Ness borrows her attacks in Brawl, I’m sure she can learn Lifeup from him… no, Moor Ecivres isn’t a real name.)

        This is a pretty last minute submission...my friend suggested it, so I thought I might as well draw it up as quick as I could! Not as polished as I might like, but it amuses *me* at least. Paula's friends and family might be used to her psychic powers, but strangers? Maybe not so much.

        Livin' On A Prayer

        I made this video with Flash. It's a portrayal of the final boss battle against Giygas, set to the popular Bon Jovi song "Livin' On a Prayer." The Chosen Four will have PSI and advanced weaponry, but is it enough to stop the Universal Cosmic Destroyer?
