There's been plenty of fake anti-piracy videos surfacing on YouTube recently, so I thought it'd be interesting to show off EarthBound's very real copy protection measures--specifically this last layer of protection against pirates who've overcome all of the game's other defenses (like significantly increasing enemy spawn in the overworld). When the game freezes here, it glitches in random ways that can be funny and/or creepy right before deleting the save data.
This stuff has been well known to fans for a long time, but many similar documented videos are several years old. I wanted to compile all of the most interesting/unique game crashes I could experience, so these are my results after about an hour of attempting to find new glitches!

Top Comments of this video!! :3
That "isolated" Giygas breathing is actually the song "The Place" but with Giygas' breathing noise.
Ya' learn something new every day.

Funny enough, Earthbound is so weird that this could actually fit in perfectly through the actual story of the game.
89 |
Alternate title, really crappy ASMR with Giygas
20 |
4:15 Ness Gets a Superstar

Earth ound is such a phenomenal game, way better than Earthbound. Certainly GOTY material
38 |
Actually was completely unaware that Earthbound even had piracy protection. Pretty creative that they chose to do it like this instead of just blocking the player out of the game completely.
31 |
It seems that if you're not pure of heart, Giygas senses it, and wipes you from existence.
21 |
just a heads up, this does NOT happen on roms unless you are using a hacked version or a crappy emulator
37 |
I can feel giygas breathing on me with headphones on
10 |
Neat way to hop on the anti piracy trend
48 |
I was messing around with the check area glitch in the threed tent, and got a few of these to happen. Got the green screen intro, and the Earth Ound one with the rainbow Ness.

0:40 fun fact: the piracy warning was actually an alternate universe where you lose to Giygas.
17 |
This is sort of fitting because earthbound does have something like this.
45 |
Ness and co. shouldn't be under the effect of a Super Star, right?
27 |
Example 2 is the Cave of the Past music, except breathing replaces the "Deirdre" voice.
10 |
Sir their appears to be a slight problem with my earthbound
18 |
Ah yes, my favorite game. Earth Ound.
4 |
yes my favorite super nintendo game EARTH OUND
5 |
It really makes the game VERY HARD when you get far

A little background: this is EarthBound's last line of defense against pirates who've bypassed all of the game's other traps (like a significant enemy spawn increase in the overworld/enemies appearing in places they shouldn't). Believe it or not, the only fake thing about this video is the error noise I added to the real warning at the beginning of the video. I didn't actually mess with any of the Giygas glitching, those were all legitimate effects from EarthBound's ROM. All I did was splice/shorten the clips! If you want to play around with the crash, the Game Genie code is 2DE2-546E. I recommend making a save state right after Pokey turns off the Devil's Machine--the type of freeze after his speech will be random. Most of the time, it will just cut to black but sometimes you will get weird and creepy effects like this. If you're lucky, it won't freeze right away (kicking you to the title screen) so you can mess around with the naming screen like 3:56! Once you reset the game, your save files will be wiped, so be careful 😅 Also: I haven't tried it yet, but if you'd like to play through the game with tons of enemies without triggering the copy protection, use the Game Genie code 6D4F-7704 (provided by Nitrodon)
