EarthBound in I Wanna Be The Tribute

You know how Paula gets kidnapped at the Fourside Dept. Store? Well, what happens if Paula is the only one who’s alive in your party at the time? Here’s how the game handles it:
I feel like if I programmed the game I would forget to handle cases like that, which would result in weird bugs. In fact, I think there’s actually a line in EarthBound where such a missed situation results in a blank text box.
Anyway, if you like messing with the Fourside Dept. Store, there’s also this method of leaving the store without triggering the kidnapping.

^ Or it would be unfair if Paula got kidnapped and you get an instant game over because nobody else in the party is alive.

Would a similar event happen if Poo was the only living member in your party when he goes back to Dalaam before Ness, Paula, and Jeff meet Dungeon Man?

I think everyone gets healed up just before the star master guy appears in that scene, so I think he’d be brought back to life.

@Furball – yeah Mato is right. I remember because I used two Cups of Lifenoodles right before walking outside of the Pyramid, then Poo’s master healed everyone. >___>

What if Paula was dead? Would the same thing happen?

Yeah the same thing happens if she’s dead.

As it turns out, the mouse displays that same text if ANYONE in your party is dead. Additionally, if you do it the opposite way with Paula dead and everyone else alive, she still doesn’t get kidnapped… they don’t try to take the ghost version or anything like that.

Huh. Makes sense, that. It wouldn’t really make sense if Ness/Jeff were suddenly alive once she’s kidnapped after all.
