Here’s a neat little graphical glitch you can get to happen in EarthBound if you’re into TAS stuff or if you’re super-duper-blooper lucky:
I’ve never seen this before, but mugg1991’s description for this video says this:
You can use this glitch similarly on normal entrances which will cause the delivery man / customer to not come anymore until he calls you.
I use this on a house you can’t enter and then start a fight in the last possible moment which causes a graphical bug.
This only works in the US version.

What a weird glitch. Strange how we still find new bugs on a game we play to death.

@EBIsumaru: Ness basically dodged the express guy by getting into a battle. The door was necessary to unhalt the movement, I think.

I am going to make an educated guess as to what happened.
Ness knocked on the door at the same frame that the Escargo Express man’s theme started to play, which is normally when Ness’ movement is frozen. Opening the text box also freezes Ness’ position, but closing it frees you to move around again. So after closing the text box, Ness is able to move again. Then he moves towards the enemy and touches it the same frame (or just before the frame) that the Escargo Express man reaches his final position before talking to Ness.
The battle goes normally, but returning from the battle results in that temporary graphics glitch. I have no guess as to exactly why it happens, but it probably has to do with attempting to execute the code that handles the Escargo Express man’s dialog at an unexpected moment.

16 years later, and we’re STILL finding cool new stuff in EarthBound!

Oh, I see now. I didn’t notice that the whole screen basically barfed after the battle. I blame YouTube and its GD buffering.

Glitches are the best thing do do once you’ve completed a game. Thats why pokemon blue will always be my favorite gb game.

- Karmageddon: @Esper Heh, my bad. But remember though. We had to lower the quality of the recording to make it work on hardware.
- Esper: Dammit I’d prefer the new one if the “set” didn’t such blow into the mic. Love the official Lucas voice though!
- Earthbounder: Wonder if their is a way to use the alt english translation with this voice patch
- game4brains: @Franklin Badger I would’ve guessed chocolate labradoodle.
- Matt: Lucas has an english voice actor in Smash Bros.? Why, when they still use the original JP voice clips for Ness?
Lol that’s funny 😀
