Line 5:
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 [[Earthbound (Video Game)|Earthbound]]. It is posted at [http://www.starmen.net Starmen.net] by Darrow and is currently over 600 pages. The comic can be found and read [http://starmen.net/comics/series/chosenfour here]. Also, the [http://forum.starmen.net/forum/Fan/Forum/48624/page/1/ forum thread] where the comic is originally posted by the author is quite entertaining in its own right.
----
=== This series contains examples of: ===
Line 34:
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: The Photographer.
* [[Excited Episode Title]]
* [[Expy]]: {{spoiler|The comic [[Justified Trope|justifies]] the similarities between [[Earthbound]]'s Ness, Paula, and Jeff and [[EarthMOTHER Bound Zero1|EarthBound Zero]]'s Ninten, Ana, and Loid by having Giygas' mind so twisted and distorted, he mistakes the former three for the latter and takes his hatred of Ninten out on Ness.}}
** {{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.
Line 48:
* [[Ignored Enemy]]: The worthless protoplasm was too worthless for Jeff to even notice
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: All over the place.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Jerk]]: [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|The Plague Rat Of Doom]], [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Love Bubbles]]: These appear when Paula kisses Ness.
** They return when Tony calls Jeff.
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 [[Mother 3 (Video Game)|Mother 3]].}}
** {{spoiler|To be completely fair, [[Fat Bastard|Pokey]] had it coming.}}
* [[New Age Retro Hippie]]: He can measure the universe!
Line 68:
* [[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 (Video Game)|win his twisted game]]. The [[Call Forward]] just hammers it home.
** 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 (Anime)|detach his hand off his wrist and throws it at Paula]].
** Apparently Poo knows legendary [[Fist of the North Star (Manga)|Hokuto Shinken martial art]].
** "[[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 (Film)|Johnny 5]].
*** Plus the first robot's error screen includes the phrase [[The Big O (Anime)|"Ye Not Guilty"]].
** Jeff wears ''[[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega Man]]'' underwear.
* [[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 Withwith an "S"]]: Darrow plays with the various examples of this trope from the games in his comics. For example when jokes are made in the comic related to Jeff's [[EarthMOTHER Bound Zero1]] [[Expy|counterpart]] are made, the name is spelled Lloyd. But when Jeff and Ness encounter an illusion of {{spoiler|Teddy}} in Moonside, he spells the name Loid. Also, the name Giegue (the spelling from [[Earth BoundMOTHER Zero1]]) is used to describe the physically and mentally intact version of the antagonist, while Giygas (the spelling from [[Earthbound]]) is used to describe him after {{spoiler|his body and mind broke apart}}.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: [[Everdred]] "Don't mind all the money laying around, it's definitely not stolen."
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Mr. Spoon. HE LOVES VENUS EVEN MORE THAN HE LOVES HIS BACON COLLECTION!!! HE'S TOTALLY NOT CREEPY!!!!
** 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!]"
