This animation really boosts the intimidation factor of the guardians, rather than making them mindless drones who recite the same line. Thanks for bringing it back
I think that might be intentional. They can all use PSI, which leads me to believe that they’re regular enemies that have been powered up by the energy of the Sanctuary Locations.
Yeah, now that I think about it... Their dungeons are filled with the enemies they're based on. Titanic Ant is a large Black Antoid, Mondo Mole is a large Mole Playing Rough, Trillionage Sprout is a large Tough Mobile Sprout, Shrooom! is a large Struttin' Evil Mushroom, Plague Rat of Doom is a large Deadly Mouse, Thunder and Storm kinda resemble a mix between the Thunder Mite and Tangoo, Electro Specter vaguely resembles a mix between the Counducting Spirit (The Electro part) and maybe Fobbies (Just the face looks similar). Lastly, Carbon Dog and Diamond Dog are based on nothing specific, not counting the generic lava enemies that are found in their dungeon. The pattern I've noticed is that, with every Sanctuary Guardian, the resemblances to the enemies in their dungeons get more and more vague. Interesting
@@laser90 Maybe the sanctuary's power is adding to their appearances? Maybe they all arrived at the same time and the sanctuary's power warped them all out of recognition, so the earlier fights would have looked like the later fights if time had went by more.
It's a damned shame that the original version of this video is lost to time & all, but I personally think the lower quality to the video really adds to the aesthetic of it!
I remember finding this video when I was 9 and knew nothing about earthbound. The music and the way the characters stood there, staring at me always freaked me out. I’m still a bit unsettled even now
Perhaps the character designers or 3D modeler did a good job, as these foes were meant to be intimidating, but in a goofy way (although the goofy nature might also come across as off-putting or bizarre to some)
Hey it's back. I love this animation, I seriously hope a future remake (official or fan made) uses these models, and probably the music too. I will say, the one thing I'd change about this animation is Electro Specter. The in game sprite looks really dynamic, makes me feel like this model should be bouncing around from one leg to another, or at least mirror the sprite, not just... awkwardly stand there with an arm raised.
Thunder and Storm were seperated, Electro specter looked actually alive even tho it isn't supposed to be more than a mindless robot, Mondo mole had the blood in its claws and mouth much more visible, and it looks like you gave the Trillionage Sprout a redesign, for the scarier. Even the weirdest of designs can be made even weirder. These nightmare-like designs, paired with the dystopian remix of the usually calming Sanctuary Guardian theme, make this absolutely amazing.
At first I found this video strange and unsettling, but these days it's just weird-- perfectly weird, as is par for the course for Earthbound. I'm glad this video wasn't lost.
I know it was a few years ago, but thank you for reuploading this. I remember when it was gone and being bummed out because it was one of the best interpretations of what an EarthBound battle would look like in 3D.
@@Truffle_D_Toad I'd say Thunder and Storm are the biggest pushover boss of this set. Or Plague Rat of Doom if you come armed with a couple Multi Bottle Rockets.
I like the little text given to their respective guardians, it gives them more character and is a lot better than the repeated mad libs quotes they have in-game.
"We are the guardians of Pink Clouds" "Outsiders! No foreign soil shall ruin the purity of the Pink Clouds! Not without a fight, so leave now or suffer the culture shock of a lifetime! We are of two, but fight like on." Edit: Decided to change the text a little, since i read it alot and it felt rather clunky.
@@no_fishman9669 There should be responses for the "optional" ones, the ones that don't force you to fight them in order, which would be: Mondo Mole, Trillionage Sprout, Thunder and Storm, (I think) Shroom! and Plague Rat of Doom,
@@nerdyboy5490 small mistake, but i think it might be important to point out. you HAVE to defeat Shrooom! before going to summers. (at least I think so). And past Giant Step and Rainy circle, you can fight them any order you feel. I know cuz i have done lilliput steps last in the past. though the dog might be slightly different since you can only fight after getting through electro specter and lumine hall, whereas electro specter can be done in any order.
I don't know why but 3:03 when the music hits with thunder and storms animation, it just hits different. Gives me goosebumps every time and I'm not sure why
I like how you got all these threatening names for the guardians...then there's just "SHROOOOOM!" And in my opinion, the guardian from creepiest to the least is honestly. Mondo Mole, Electro Spector, Shroooom!, Carbon/Diamond Dog, Titanic Ant, Thunder and Storm, Trillionage Sprout then Plague Rat of Doom. Mainly cause no one talks about Mondo and what it does to miners. A good example is the quote "cut through stone and dirt, bones and flesh", and don't pull that crap of the drips is just OJ, it's clearly not...RATED K-A MY ASS.
I saw this video when the sanctuary guardian music was a popular meme, I was extremely invested in the idea of Giygas not simply controlling them, but showing them too much evil for them to handle and defied their purpose.
this video has always unsettled me in a weird way the models and music combine to make a very... off.. feeling I have never played earthbound but I doubt that was the intention
Judging on what happened to other earthbound videos, Sony for some reason copyright claim or took down many earthbound videos, same thing happened to other videos like the once 4th most viewed earthbound was Sanctuary Guardian OST was taken down, - 8.9 million views. This is Nintendo music though so don’t know why Sony took most of these down.

@@claus4670 he gets my nerves. Even i am nor Lucas nor Salsa but really he is kind of people that i want to kill.
if earthbound gets a remake it should be this cgi style, its just weird enough for earthbound and still would feel fantastic
Damn Giygas might genuinely give me nightmares then.
@@joshshrum2764 he doesn't already?
@@jamescoughlan5526 Well maybe i was scared of him a little when i was younger, but no trauma so he’s really just my boy because he’s really cool.
I saw some video of a somebody remake mother 3 cutscenes in a style like this
You know what. Yeah. I totally support the jank claymation direction. Nostalgic and pure, but easily corruptible.
I really like the individuality given to each guardian, makes them feel like characters rather than just boss monsters.
"Gaze into my eyes, and I'll see diamonds" gives chills
What does he mean????
@@Guest-qo5nlOne of its attacks involves glaring at Ness and his friends, which causes them to become “diamondized”
It's been a while since I played Earthbound and i just realized that most of the guardians are giant versions of some enemies

this makes me want a 3d earthbound with battle graphics like these, having clay-esque models with short animations

Omg finally I can rest peacefully knowing this is back

There should be an alternate response from the guardians if you go to Pink Cloud while Poo is learning Starstorm in after the pyramid.
"We are the guardians of Pink Clouds"
"Outsiders! No foreign soil shall ruin the purity of the Pink Clouds! Not without a fight, so leave now or suffer the culture shock of a lifetime! We are of two, but fight like on."
