CloseDude! Pick up the Mr. Baseball Cap first! How do you hope to survive the terror of Fail-Proof Frank without it!?

Ah, of course! Thanks for reminding me. Unfortunately, I've already taken all my screens up to a certain point. I'll be sure to grab it once part 2 rolls around. It really has been a while since I've played Earthbound, so everyone be sure to help me out once I miss something!

Part 1-2: Fail-proof Frank
Kento must now face the leader of the Sharks. Hopefully it will be much more of a challenge than fighting a regular Shark.
This dude doesn't look too tough!
And with that, the battle begins.
Frank is done in by a single PSI Chpset alpha. What a wimp!
But... I just beat you a few seconds ago!
Uh-oh.
Well, that was much easier than expected. I guess "Fail-Proof" Frank isn't really that "Fail-Proof".
Oh yeah, that's right!
Oh, this might be interesting.
No, he's not repeating himself. Earthbound just has a weird way of displaying text that isn't good for let's plays.
Giant's Step sounds like it could be one of those sanctuary locations that Buzz-buzz mentioned. I guess I should try to find the mayor of this crazy town.
Magic butterfly!
What better place is there to find the mayor than the town hall?
I'd better get a pretty handsome reward, if I do say so myself.
And some cold hard cash for beating up those Sharks. Yeah!
You've got the "great" part right...
...Seriously?
Whatever.
All that work for a crummy key. Well, at least I can visit this Giant's Step place now.
No. Just, no.
This is the entertainer's shack, I guess.
Easy enough. Let's head inside, pretending that that "DO NOT ENTER" sign isn't there.
Wow, what a dump.
Going through the hole in the wall brings us to this cave entrance. Kento will be exploring the cave very soon, searching for the Giant's Step...

I got the urge to play this again... Damn you, Gemini, and you're little 'Let's Play' too!
Mwahahahaha! My plan is working!
@Feld, are you still up for a LP duel?

Part 1-3: Giant's Step
Kento now enters the cave to try and find this Giant's Step that Frank was talking about.
Looks like just an ordinary cave.
Hm, I wonder what this does?
Battle time!
Well, at least it's not greedy.
No problem for Kento, of course. The rowdy mouse missed every time.
What's a magic butterfly doing inside of a cave? Oh well. *grabs*
These guys aren't too tough, but they can be a pain in large numbers.
A few more battles brings Kento to level 9. Huzzah!
It seems that enemies are starting to learn PSI skills. This is not good news for Kento.
On the plus side, EXP drops are much more bountiful now!
For those that were curious earlier, this is what the skip sandwich does.
The cave brings Kento outside where most of the time there is a magic butterfly. PSI Lifeup time!
Oops, did I just step on a bug? Oh well! *whistles and walks away*
I'll probably be making use of this quite soon.
Uh-oh. Floating balls of light usually mean a boss battle. Time to get prepared!
I knew it! The Giant's Step must be right past this ball of light, then.
Bring it on.
Ah, great. More bugs to smash.
Okay, that's pretty strong.
That'll take care of it's hench... ants. Let's try it again.
Wha...? Better heal now.
Well, this battle isn't going extremely well, but it's not over yet! PSI Chpset go!
But first... (munch, munch)
...No comment... (PSI Magnet alpha steals PP from the target, leaving me with not enough to cast my spell)
2 out of 3 of the PSI Chpsets failed, so Kento will have to bring out the ol' Tee ball bat.
Is is just me, or are his biting attacks weaker than they were at the start?
Finally starting to get some good luck!
This was a good turn.
Again?
Just keep swinging that bat, Kento. The boss keeps using Defense down for some reason.
Success!
There's not much to level 10 besides learning Healing a.
It's almost time to get the first melody for the sound stone!
Wow, I guess they call it Giant's Step for a reason. Let's investigate
Weird lighting effects time!
Hooray! Only seven more to go now.
With each and every melody that Kento collects, Giygas's influence grows stronger in the present time...
DrZoidberg: If you're trying to play along with this LP, then yeah, you're going a bit too fast. I wouldn't worry about it though and just keep playing.
It'll take me a while still to get to where you're at in the LP.

Part 1-4: A Mysterious Message
We've recorded the melody of the Giant's Step into the sound stone, so it's time to head back to Onnet.
It's hard to see, but that bug is running away from Kento in terror.
And with good reason, too!
What's that cop doing there? Certainly Kento hasn't done anything wrong!
Nuking large groups of enemies is fun.
As expected, we meet the officer at the cave entrance.
Pretty much.
Oh, I'm so scared!
Darn. I was hungry.
Should I go in? Maybe later.
With his earnings, Kento buys plenty of hamburgers for no particular reason.
After a bit of grinding. Kento finally enters the police station like he was told to. Already he knows it was a bad decision.
*Sigh*
This must be the head honcho of the police.
Heheh
Hm, looks like some good might come out of this after all.
I've got a somewhat bad feeling about this.
It turns out the head honcho wants me to challenge his officers. This is just the kind of police force that Onnet has, I guess.
#1 wasn't too much trouble. On to the next!
This officer certainly has an ego, that I just crushed.
Look who's talking, tubby!
Yeah, I'll kick your your butt any time, tubby.
Whatever that is.
Yeah, sure.
Okay, time for the last one, then I'm home free for Twoson!
Well, at least this one has some common sense. I guess I'm done, then!
Huh, wait a minute, is the head honcho fighting me as well?
That is the coolest name for any martial arts. Ever.
So that's the head honcho's name...
I've gotta make up for the damage that I took from the previous battles.
This works out quite well for Kento.
This is gonna be too easy if Captain Strong keeps guarding.
I'm very disappointed.
Captain Strong is now Captain Wimp.
Precious, precious exp...
Never underestimate a kid with a baseball cap, man. Plus, your police force sucks.
Oh yes!
Hooray! Time to go to Twoson! But wait, Kento's gets a phone call... I was unaware that Kento had a cellphone.
Oh, so it's Kento's dad. After a bit of discussion:
I totally agree. Unfortunately, that town is Onett.
Yeah, sure, uh-huh, bye now.
This'll be Kento's first stay at a hotel.
Well, I've got plenty of money, so...
$35 dollars is the price for staying the night. If this place wasn't so shabby, then that'd be just fine.
While resting, Kento hears something...
Who is this YDS, and, what does she want with Kento?
Kento awakens, contemplating the mysterious message he received that night...

This is neat, man! I can't wait until you get to Threed and Fourside. Those were my favorite parts.

Yeaster: Thanks! =D
I also can't wait to get to those parts. Just thinking about them brings back a lot of memories.
Hexatona: Hahaha, that's awesome!

Part 2-1: STUPID MUSHROOMS!
The mysterious mystery of the mysterious message still remains, but we'll put it aside for now as we continue Kento's quest.
Kento's heading towards Twoson now, right...? WRONG! There's still a few more things to do in Onett.
We have more info about YDS now, which is nice. Apparently she's special.
For some reason, Kento visits the Minch's home. It's empty, except for Pickey. I wonder what that crazy family is up to?
A hidden path in the trees? Let's investigate!
Nice! (Thanks again to Neok for pointing this out.)
Well, it's not a huge improvement, but every bit of defense helps.
I wonder what this does?
I guess my stats aren't affected, but protection from paralysis is pretty neat.
Kento also pays a visit to Lier X. Agerate's House. I wonder what the "X" stands for?
Uh, okay...
Not really.
We'll just see about that.
Kento follows him down and through the cave and such.
Alright, I'm a little more interested now
A statue?
Wha...? You're the one who wanted me to come down here in the first place!
You're... going to share that treasure, r-r-right?!?!
Something tells me this will become important much later on...
Okay, now it's time to head to Twoson. Once I stop at that house.
Kento doesn't want one because they just take up valuable inventory space.
Oh no! It's a Ramblin' Evil Mushroom! Yes, that's seriously what they're called.
As you can see, this was a great level up.
I told you so!
Ack! Stupid mushroom... More on this later.
As you can see, Kento has a mushroom on his head. This means that he'll always be confused in battle until the mushroom goes away.
This is little consolation.
Argh! The only thing strong enough to kill Kento is Kento himself. Remember that he's confused.
Well, at least the mushroom's gone.
Magic butterfly!
NOOOOOOO!!!
Another thing about the mushroom status effect is that is sometimes tempers with your movement controls, resulting in this.
Even spells can sometimes backfire, in this case PSI Chpset...
Kento's strategy this time was to avoid all mushrooms. It worked pretty well!
A palette swap? Could it be?
It is! We've finally made it to Twoson!
Well, why not?
Polestar preschool is where YDS's mom is, so maybe I should head there?
Wow, it's basically Twoson in a nutshell. Thanks a lot, random NPC!
A familiar tune is heard here...
Could it be?
It's the instantaneous photo taker!
A bicycle shop! Perhaps I can grab some wheels here?
That's an interesting name you got there.
Kento is popular with or without a bike, thanks.
Heck yeah!
Why does this always happen!?
Oh, so he'll let me rent one?
And for free?
DOH!
After clearing my inventory, I claim my free bike.
Well, duh!
It's not like Kento carries around teddy bears everywhere. Sheesh.
B-b-but, you can in Pokemon! *grumblegrumble*
It's bicycle time!
I'm riding... on a bike!

That is a lot of screenshots dude, p cool. I was playing this recently on my SNES and I was about to go to Fourside so I should get back to that!!
