Straight from the mouth of a bee with big eyebrows comes a tale of courage, friendship, and the kind of silliness that will have you rolling on the floor! Will Giygas prevail or will the world's last hope band together and strike this intergalactic foe down? It all rests...upon ''the Chosen Four''!
''The Chosen Four'' is a fancomic based on the Nintendo video game [[

{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]
* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: {{spoiler|Subverted by Ness, who works up the courage after a while, but he then stutters and Paula loudly interrupts him and plays it straight.}}
Line 17:
* [[Battle Aura]]: Ness sometimes gets one of these. At least once, he triggers it just to scare monkeys. No, seriously.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Paula. Learned the hard way by Pokey and the [[Jerkass]] delivery man in Threed, among others (including, of course, Giygas' minions).
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't take Ness's hat.
* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: Venus. A lighting effect, or maybe she's just that good.
** Gorgeous later shows off some of those sparkles. Lucky tells the heroes he got them from Venus.
Line 23:
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: Thunder and Storm.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Heck, there's practically ''[[No Fourth Wall|no]]'' [[No Fourth Wall|fourth wall]]! One of the funniest examples of this is when Paula steals a baby picture of Ness from his second Your Sanctuary.

'''Paula''': ''Why bother worrying about logic at this point of the story? Help me carry this home so I can hang it in my room!'' }}
** Pages [http://local-static2.forum-files.fobby.net/forum_attachments/0022/6567/Earthbound405.jpg 405] and [http://local-static0.forum-files.fobby.net/forum_attachments/0022/6570/Earthbound406.jpg 406] are full of this.
* [[Brick Joke]]: During the fight with the Trillionage Sprout, the senile boss calls Ness "Billy". {{spoiler|We later find out Trillionage Sprout was actually mistaking Ness for Shroom!, whom he had a close father-son relationship with.}}
* Cameo: Link seems to think of Ganondorf when he hears the word "pig" [http://files.fobby.net/0000/8426/Earthbound600.jpg\]{{Dead link}}
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Paula to Ness. Especially when they meet Venus.
* [[Crutch Character]]: Invoked by Paula's father, who claims to be of too high a level to keep things dramatic.
Line 34:
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: The Photographer.
* [[Excited Episode Title]]
* [[Expy]]: {{spoiler|The comic [[Justified Trope|justifies]] the similarities between [[
** {{spoiler|Teddy is pretty much [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kamina]], complete with [[Rousing Speech|motivational speaking]], [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Testosterone Poisoning|epic manliness]] (and a side of [[Large Ham]]), and temporarily [[Badass|badassing]] [[Normally I Would Be Dead Now|himself back to life]] [[Big Damn Heroes|to help our heroes]]. He even has the [[Triangle Shades|epic sunglasses]].}}
* [[Eye Scream]]: Part and parcel of Poo's meditation on Mu.
* [[Fan Web Comics]].
* [[Final Boss Preview]]: One appears in Moonside. For those familiar with Earthbound, you know by now what we're dealing with.
* [[For Science!]]: Apple Kid's excuse for having a nuclear-powered doomsday microwave.
* [[Gag Boobs]]: The zombie lady in Threed.
* [[Gorn]]:
* [[Giant Mook]]: The cultists have a VERY big one.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Played with when Paula throws her teddy bear to divert Mondo Mole's attack; she'd been manipulating him [[Medium Awareness|off-panel]] to give it the illusion of sentience, so this part was played out as the bear sacrificing his "life" for hers.
Line 47:
** Ness invoked this trope to achieve the PK Rocking attack.
* [[Ignored Enemy]]: The worthless protoplasm was too worthless for Jeff to even notice
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: All over the place.
* [[Jerk
* [[Love Bubbles]]: These appear when Paula kisses Ness.
** They return when Tony calls Jeff.
{{quote|
* [[Mind Screw]]: Moonside. Just... Moonside. Holy CRAP.
* [[Monster Sob Story]]: Starman Jr. gives one upon his defeat. [[Played for Laughs]].
Line 59:
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: A mushroom monster in #66 puts Ness in a musical version by placing an actual mushroom on his head (utilizing a song from the original ''Mother'' soundtrack, no less). It continues for another page even when the mushroom was removed!
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The second time the above-mentioned [[Arc Words]] are said is when Ness first uses PSI Rockin'; the first "default" option for "Favorite Thing" in ''Mother 2'' (which "Rockin'" replaced) is [[Kiai]]. Similarly, Ness remarks that the only way the pencil statue could be weirder is if it were an octopus.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|Ness's little outburst at the top of the Monotoli building is what eventually causes the events of [[
** {{spoiler|To be completely fair, [[Fat Bastard|Pokey]] had it coming.}}
* [[New Age Retro Hippie]]: He can measure the universe!
Line 67:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Poo
* [[Pungeon Master]]: Mondo Mole.
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: Carpenter's [[Blue Blue]] Rangers, who are really regular Happy-Happy cultists with gimmicks.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Pokey hands out a truly frightening example, made all the more frightening by the knowledge that he ''will'' [[Mother 3
** Although Ness gives one straight back to him.
* [[Relax-O-Vision]]: Used when Paula and the bears are beating up Mondo Mole.
Line 76:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Ness' [[Kamen Rider|Rider Kick]] against the Happy-Happyists.
** Ness [[Superman|doning a cape]] in the desert before Fourside and telling now he looks a superhero for real.
** One of the Threed zombies [[Mazinger Z
** Apparently Poo knows legendary [[Fist of the North Star
** "[[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy|42 is just a number]], [[Urban Legend of Zelda|and there is no secret to revive]] [[Final Fantasy VI|General Leo]]."
** [http://files.fobby.net/0000/758e/Earthbound337.jpg This page] includes cameos by R.O.B., [[WALL-E]], and [[Short Circuit
*** Plus the first robot's error screen includes the phrase [[The Big O
** Jeff wears ''[[Mega Man (
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Ness to Pokey--FINALLY--when the latter gives his [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] from {{spoiler|Monotoli's helicopter}}.
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: [[Everdred]] "Don't mind all the money laying around, it's definitely not stolen."
* [[Stalker
** And Tony for Jeff. Poor, Poor Jeff.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: "[http://starmen.net/vote/vote.php?id=28153 I bet your one of those types that always wants to be number one. Well, I'll beat the number one out of you, and maybe even the number two while I'm at it!]"
* [[That's No Moon]]: A variant. During the journey to Scaraba, a deafening rumble sounds when they are passing by an island and one of them wonders if it is the nearby volcano. Then Kraken emerges out of the sea and the captain stares at it with a [[Oh Crap]] expression and mutters "That's no volcano".
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: Ness can not forgive Pockey for insulting his family and friends. Paula can not forgive an octobot for stealing her diary AND read a particularly embarassing entry.
* [[Training
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Ness, after Paula is kidnapped.
* [[Unusual Weapon Mounting]]: The Clumsy Robot has a rocket (and bologna sandwich) launcher mounted in its butt.
Line 100:
* [[What Beautiful Eyes!]]: Paula suddenly gains these when she meets Ness in the Monotoli building.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: A mini-UFO in #72 successfully strikes Ness with a ray... giving him a cold.
** Later the ghosts in the tunnel scare our heroes and the Runaway Five with ADVANCED CALCULUS and a COPY OF [[Superman 64]]! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: Parodied. {{spoiler|Paula's stuffed teddy bear}} regrets he not even got to yell "you shall not pass" while charging in heroically before committing [[Heroic Sacrifice]].
