Line 8:
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: Several tracks from the original ''Earthbound'' used for unsettling or disturbing scenes are repurposed as battle music - the Evil Ecto's battle theme is the track used for Poo's infamously-harrowing Mu Training, while the Overrecycled's battle theme is the same as ''Giygas''.<ref>specifically the phase after the Devil Machine is opened</ref>
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Varik, [[Suddenly Shouting|I HAVE FUCKING HAD IT WITH YOUR SHIT]]. your bodies will be ripped in half i will shove your asses so far down your throats that when you crap you'll sing fucking beethoven tl;dr eat shit, faggots" - {{spoiler|Dr. Andonuts'}} infamous pre-battle quote.
