Just a Collab of characters from Earthbound/Mother Hacks/Fan Games I've Played.
we have from Left to right
Varik: Origin- (The Halloween hack/'Press the B button, STUPID!') - The bounty hunter hired by EX-Mayor B. H. Pirkle to hunt down and kill a monster that killed and ate some little girls parents. sounds fine and dandy until you go into the Twoson's sewers.. then things get.. um silent hill ish. This game takes place months later after the events of EARTHBOUND. but something isn't quite right.. :U go play it if you want know.
(Or be lazy and watch a video about it on youtube.)
despite this hack being made by Radiation (The same guy who go onto writing homestuck), The hack hasn't really held up since it first came out.
it's more of a 6/10 for me.
Sally, Clyde and Craig: Origin- (Hallows End)
If you're looking for a more funnier and mind bogglin' halloween hack, look no further!
In this hack you play as 3 Kids Sally (The Witch), Craig (The zombie Mask Kid) and Clyde (the Wannabe ninja) who go 'trick-or-treating' upon going to every house they are disappointed with the lack of candy in this haul and want to go home and play some Xbox. Craig, on the other hand convinces his friends to go into Old Man Gantt's house (an Old guy protective or his land and threatens to shoot trespassers and is rumored to lock kids in his basement for food)
Upon finding nothing in his house, they exit his house to go home.. but again something is wrong.. There's no halloween and Monsters are running around. and No one seems to remember them. Is this another dimension or the power of some major evil monster?
Thats for me to know and for you to go play! This game contains references to other games and sometimes pokes fun at itself how ridiculous it gets. Unlike Radiation's hack, This game was given a MAJOR overhaul. making every map majorly changed with new sprites, areas and bosses. It does crossover into Earthbound at ONE point.
oh, and it has Cutscenes ! (something not in the original earthbound or the halloween hack. they talk a lot in this hack)
(The original version of Hallows end was originally more unforgiving. if you'd died you'd have to go back to the title screen instead of STARTING where you saved. Meaning any levelup, items and all that ARE LOST! This was majorly changed in later updates which makes this better then before.)
8.5/10 in my book, if you ever decide to play it. it's a bit harder then earthbound but more rewarding.
Alinivar (Mook), Colonel Saturn (The Mr.Saturn. DUH), Larice (The Starman/Ghost of Starman) and Zarbol (The Little UFO). Origin- Mother Cognitive Dissonance. (or Mother Cog Dis)
Have you ever wanted to see what was beyond the EARTH in Earthbound? where do the aliens come from? whats space travel like? or why Uranus has gas?
well.. this game is for you!
Cognitive Dissonance takes place between Mother and Mother 2! (Earthbound Origins and Earthbound)
You play as a Blue Guitar playin', Artist Mook named 'Alinivar' who's pretty much a social outcast loser who teams up with a War soilder named Colonel Saturn, a Defect Starman codename LARICE and a Little Ufo named Zarbol. along with a mysterious Giegue lookin' alien named 'Niiue' (not pictured) who seems to know Giegue form somewhere.... their mission is to collect parts of the 'Apple of enlightenment' before Giegue does. Because they plan to collect to collect it, Giegue sends his own men to stop you from getting it and trying to change the future, Time is of the essence as Giegue starts to morph into his alterego we see in earthbound named 'Giygas'
(the only game where you're NOT human kids)
if you want a game that dares to go where no Mother fan game has gone before, this one is for you! it shares it's hardness with the original Mother game. so expect to grind a bit if you plan on fighting bosses :3. It also uses unused elements from earthbound (like the idea of going into space planet hopping)
this game was truly done for the Art. you can tell when you play it.
It's worth noting this game is NOT a Earthbound/Mother/Mother 3 hack. it was actually built from the ground up, from the elements to the spriting. this is quite a masterpiece of art, love, humor, and horror.
also the music in the ending is incredible and it does its best to show us a lot about stuff in mother.
(9.5/10)
so who's the Giegue lookin' guy with the Ninten cap? that's for me to know UwcU and you to go find out.

EarthBound Hack: Hallow’s End. Hacking maps and music is really crazy stuff, so this is a real treat As you can see, the hack even has a sort of Costume Quest vibe to it at parts, even though I think the hack actually predates Costume Quest.
So, there are two endings to this book – the close of the Harry-Voldemort plot arc, and then the epilogue, which takes place nineteen years later.
Harry's Death Scene
First of all, everything we've been wondering about over the course of the last seven books comes to a head in the final confrontation(s) between Harry and Voldemort. The beginning of the end comes when Harry realizes (through Snape's memories) that his destiny is to die (well, shoot). This seems to answer the question everyone's been asking, especially since Book 5, The Order of the Phoenix, when it was revealed that either Voldemort or Harry will survive: will Harry die? Seemingly, yes.
However, things aren't always as they seem. Harry struggles with getting ready to die, and becomes firm in his resolve to sacrifice himself for the good of the whole world – and that's the important thing, apparently. He basically offers himself up to Voldemort, and it's this act of sacrifice, which is a parallel to what his mother did for Harry himself) that saves everyone.
(Spoiler alert! Well, I guess we're already past that…) Harry doesn't actually die, though; instead, the part of him that preserved a segment of Voldemort's Horcruxed soul dies, and Harry, Voldy-free, is reborn. It's Harry's death and purified rebirth that everything hinges upon here – Harry's been a savior figure all the way through (you know, the Chosen One, the Boy Who Lived, and all that), and now his 'death' to save humanity makes the whole Christ-like aspect of his destiny even more clear. Religion has otherwise been carefully absent from the Potter books as a whole – Christmas happens every year, but seems only to have holiday-spirit ramifications for our wizarding friends – and so it's unclear what we're meant to make of this parallel. We'll just leave it at that for now… read into it as much or as little as you like.

The Epilogue
So, OK, Harry saves humanity through his willingness to sacrifice himself. Well, then, what's a guy to do after he accomplishes his destiny by saving the world as we know it at age seventeen? Here's where the second ending jumps in. We see Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione sending off their kids on the Hogwarts Express nineteen years later (nineteen years later because, according to Rowling, she doesn't want to promote teenage pregnancy! [source]).
It's this scene that offers us the reassurance that Harry really did succeed – the fact that we're left at good ol' Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, where the magic really began back in Book 1, means that Harry actually did manage to preserve the world as we know it – and, furthermore, to make it slightly better. The enmity between the Houses of Hogwarts is something that Harry and his peers are trying to put in the past; when Harry tells young Albus Severus not to worry about being Sorted into Slytherin, we catch a glimpse of the equal, unprejudiced, and unsegregated world that Harry's trying to make. In the end, everything's as it should be, finally. Whew.

The Last Word
Before the release of Deathly Hallows, Rowling said on numerous occasions that the last word of the book was 'scar.' But, you might have noticed, that's not actually how it ended up in the printed version. The last words in your book are 'all is well.' What happened? Here's what Rowling had to say in a 2007 interview:
For a long time the last line was something like: 'Only those who he loved could see the lightning scar.' And that was in reference to the fact that as they were on the platform, people were milling around. And that Harry was kind of flanked by, you know, his loved ones. So they were the only ones who were really near enough to see it, even though peo– other people were looking. And it also had a kind of ambiguity. So it was – is the scar still really there? But I changed it because I wanted a more – when I came to write it, I wanted a very concrete statement that Harry won. And that the scar, although it's still there, it's now just a scar. And I wanted to say it's over. It's done. And maybe a tiny bit of that was to say to people, 'No, Voldemort's not rising again. We're not going to have Part Two. Harry's job is done.' So that's why I changed it [to 'all is well']. (source)
So the last words leave us with the feeling that, though Harry's world has been torn apart by war, eventually the community is able to rebuild itself even stronger.
