Line 3:
These things about ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.
* [[Demonic Spiders]]: Most enemies are obscenely powerful and travel in packs, making any encounters with them horribly lethal unless you're willing to abuse the game's [[Useless Useful Spell|Useless Useful Spells]] to make them easier to deal with.
*[[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>▼
* [[Heartwarming in Hindsight]]/[[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: This game marks the debut of Megalovania, a song that crops up in several works Radiation/Toby Fox is associated with such as ''[[Homestuck]]'' and ''[[Undertale]]''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', it would become a part of the game's soundtrack along with a Mii Gunner costume of Sans as DLC, coming full circle from an unofficial ROMhack to something an official Nintendo product, and one with plenty of ''[[Earthbound]]'' content, no less!

* [[Signature Scene]]: The final boss fight against {{spoiler|Dr. Andonuts}} is easily the game's most memorable moment. Ignoring the fact that it's where Megalovania made its debut, {{spoiler|Dr. Andonuts'}} obscenity-laden pre-battle tirade and the difficulty are absolutely unforgettable.
* [[Unintentionally Sympathetic]]: The game ''really'' wants you to know that Varik is a sadistic killer-for-hire and a cowardly wannabe badass, with {{spoiler|Dr. Andonuts}} and the game itself taking you on a hell of a guilt-trip for trying to kill {{spoiler|the doctor}}. But given that Varik himself shows no cowardly or cruel traits and {{spoiler|he only tries to kill Dr. Andonuts after he goes insane with grief and becomes a dangerous psychic anomaly}}, it comes off as a really hamfisted attempt at [[Railroading]] the player into looking like a bad person, something that its spiritual successors ''[[Undertale]]'' and ''[[Deltarune]]'' would do a much better job at avoiding.
