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. It is posted at Starmen.net by Darrow and is currently over 900 pages. The comic can be found and read here or on Darrow's DeviantArt page here. Also, the forum thread where the comic is originally posted by the author is quite entertaining in its own right. | |

You Are Already Dead | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_18cb78a2 | comment |
You Are Already Dead: Subverted in a very (of course) funny way, doing a Fist of the North Star Shout-Out. Ness is lost inside Dungeon Man and getting angrier, more upset and more frustrated every second. A Gruff Goat tries to harass him, and he replies telling "No. YOU listen. You are already dead", suddenly looking right like Kenshiro. It is subverted because Ness had not actually done anything (yet), but the goat got so scared wondering if he was dead and he was now a ghost that he answered Ness' question. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_26ac510e | comment |
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. Another of the "Don't Care" options for "Rockin'" is "Gifts". This gets a Take That! in the form of Ness wondering who would name an attack "Gifts". | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Played with when Paula throws her teddy bear to divert Mondo Mole's attack; she'd been manipulating him off-panel to give it the illusion of sentience, so this part was played out as the bear sacrificing his "life" for hers. | |

| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_68f95429 | comment |
That's No Moon: A variant. During the boat journey to Scaraba, a deafening rumble sounds as the captain and the kids are passing by an island. The captain then wonders if the sound might be coming from a nearby volcano. Then the Kraken emerges out of the sea and the captain stares at it, an Oh, Crap! expression on his face as he mutters "By the Goddess, that's no volcano". | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: The Photoman, who is able to toy around with Poo, and invokes enough fear in Ness that a hallucination of him is able to order the group around. Played for Laughs, of course. Adaptational Villainy: He acts much more malevolent than the game he appears in. Master Barf is, in the original game, a relatively easy miniboss fought in Deep Darkness. Here, his nature as a Blob Monster makes him nigh-immortal, and Poo arriving to obliterate him with PK Starstorm is treated more as a much-needed Big Damn Heroes moment than just a coup de grâce. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Ness's little outburst at the top of the Monotoli building is what eventually causes the events of MOTHER3. To be completely fair, Pokey had it coming. Giegue basically says this trope to Ness and Jeff after they break the Mani Mani Statue keeping him from regressing into Giygas. You can guess what comes next. | |

Spell My Name with an S | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name with 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 EarthBound Beginnings counterpart are made, the name is spelled Lloyd. But when Jeff and Ness encounter an illusion of Teddy in Moonside, he spells the name Loid. Also, the name Giegue (the spelling from Earthbound Zero) 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 his body and mind broke apart. | |

Cerebus Rollercoaster | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_98ce3773 | comment |
Cerebus Rollercoaster: Zany and wild at first, though more plot driven as it went on. Then came the Moonside arc, which wasn't Played for Laughs at all, with a nightmarish preview of the Final Boss. It went back to comedy afterward, but didn't quite recover all of the old wackiness. It currently oscillates between funny (vs Thunder and Storm, Magic Cake, Scaraba Desert) and seriousness (vs the Plague Rat of Doom 1/2, vs the Guardian General, Stonehenge), then dips back into Nightmare Fuel (Poo's Mu meditation, vs the Kraken, vs Starman Deluxe). | |

Teddy is pretty much Kamina, complete with motivational speaking, Hot-Blooded epic manliness (and a side of Large Ham), and temporarily badassing himself back to life to help our heroes. He even has the epic sunglasses. | |

Suspiciously Specific Denial: Everdread has a bunch of bags stored in his house. All of them are labeled "Not Stolen". He also gives Ness and Paula a wad of bills (following the game's plot) and he tells it is most certainly not stolen twice, out of nowhere. The girl in the Twoson Theater greets Ness and Paula saying: "Hi! I am a stalker not at all!" Shroom informs the heroes he is definitely not suspicious. | |

Mushroom Samba | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_f7d4f121 | comment |
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! | |

Shoo Out the Clowns | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_f97b5d33 | comment |
Shoo Out the Clowns: Reggie the mouse is ignored during boss battles, and Chicken shows up even less than Reggie. Reggie disappeared completely while they were in Moonside, and showed up again the very page it was over. | |

Running Gag | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
In fact, every enemy of significance has one. Played for laughs again. Shrooom!'s is the only one that isn't treated like a complete joke. Subverted by the Plague Rat, whose attempt at invoking this only serves to show how unsympathetic he is. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Paula. Learned the hard way by Pokey and the Jerkass delivery man in Threed, among others (including, of course, Giygas' minions). Ness, too, especially given that he has access to one of the most powerful PSI moves in the series. If somebody is capable of vaporizing the Kraken, it's generally a bad idea to go poking his Berserk Buttons. As well as Poo (see Berserk Button). | |

Brick Joke | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: During the fight with the Trillionage Sprout, the senile boss calls Ness "Billy". We later find out Trillionage Sprout was actually mistaking Ness for Shroom!, whom he had a close father-son relationship with. | |

Talking Is a Free Action | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_ff5a74c8 | comment |
Talking Is a Free Action: Averted; Frank nearly trounces Ness, but takes the time to give a Badass Boast, complete with his backstory. While he's doing this, Ness beats up some of his goons for EXP, granting him another level and allowing him to fight Frank on more even grounds. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
| The Chosen Four (Webcomic) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
Everything Trying to Kill You: A non-video game (sorta) example, but it's still Earthbound. Everything from the crows to the road signs might be an enemy. In fact, several enemies and bosses are harmless at first, with the Happy-Happy cult members helping Ness up after he lands in the village from a Territorial Oak explosion, or the Trillonage Sprout mistaking Ness for Billy. Unfortunately, as soon as Ness tells them who he is, they immediately turn hostile. | |
