I think the Ness theory makes the most sense. The asteroid having time traveling powers doesn’t really add up unless you figure that it’s actually the phase distorter. That means in Ness’ original adventure a meteor never came to tell him about how he is chosen. This means that Pokey never got abused badly that one night and learned about his own destiny. So with no Porky or Buzz Buzz in Ness’ adventure things changed a lot. Ness likely left Onett later on his own accord not even knowing he was part of the Chosen 4 except maybe from his own PSI. This is also why Buzz Buzz couldn’t tell Ness specifics such as where his friends were located. Buzz buzz could be Ninten or a Flying Man too, but I think that Ninten is better off being left out (Itoi said that Ness can be Ninten if you want, I personally like to think of Ninten and Anna being Ness’ parents) and the flying man thing can be a bit disproven as Magicant only exists in ones mind and it’s different for each person, Buzz Buzz grave being there was just because of how much an impact he left on Ness. Ness’ Demon/Nightmare is the Mani Mani statue as that’s ty e most physical representation of evil he had seen up that point. If Giygas could reach into Ness’ Magicant then he could just corrupt Ness from the inside out and make himself appear in Ness’ mind instead of being the mani mani statue

The problem with the theories of Buzz Buzz being Ninten or Ness is that Buzz Buzz's name isn't Ninten or Ness, it's Buzz Buzz. That's what he calls himself, and that's what the Starman Jr calls him. My theory is that Earthbound takes place in an alternate timeline where Ninten doesn't exist, or rather he exists as Ness. This was created by Giygas traveling back in time to launch his attack. Buzz Buzz also came from an alternate timeline, and in the Earthbound timeline he isn't important if he exists at all.

The ‘meteor is a disguised phase distorter’ theory makes sense cause it would explain why the meteor has the material needed to make a phase distorter

Lumpy Touch did a whole thing with that, where his explanation for why Buzz Buzz's Phase Distorter looks so different is that it had gotten beat up by the time he reached Ness. Like, aside from the whole fleshy mutation body horror Parasyte thing he usually does.

There’s a bug motif throughout the Mother series, often depicting bugs as something vital or incredibly helpful. Not only is there the titular Buzz Buzz, but we also have the Magic Butterflies and the Mole Crickets and Stinkbug in Mother 3! You also have more subtle things such as the Jar of Fly Honey, but I’m not entirely sure if that counts. The meaning behind this is all left up to personal interpretation since I don’t think it’s every acknowledged or explanation. This is fine with me because this all still seems very intentional to me.

I imagine he more means this in a meta sense, Ninten and Ness are likely more intended as blank slate characters than other characters in the series. In saying this, he's allowing the player the agency to place themselves in their shoes more and imagine playing the role even more than the game asks of you at base. Granted, the fact that these games usually ask for the player's name complicates that, but I imagine still that this is supposed to be less of a literal answer and more of a literary one.

Well, there's always the fact that bugs are pretty important for children in Japan. Maybe him dying is the representation of Ness beggining his journey to grow up and leave behind his child hobbies to save the world ? But that's maybe a little bit too far off again.

I think that's a pretty good concept to grasp and recognize from the beginning of the game, a sad but necessary (and also slightly comically) introduction to the darker themes of Earthbound, one of which is death (although that's explored and is much more prominently in Mother 3 than Earthbound).

Personally I've never gotten the impression that Buzz Buzz was someone we know as a previous character. I always figured Buzz Buzz was kinda like Kyle Reese from Terminator. An unknown who had very capable PSI powers but ultimately couldn't defeat Giygas completely due to how much time Giygas had to prepare and grow strong before the attack happened. So i imagine Dr. Andonuts or possibly Jeff in the future created Buzz Buzz's new body or robot body insect in order to travel back in time to warn Ness. The reason why Buzz Buzz is so weak is because he normally uses the only PSI power he has PSI Shield E to defend himself from all attacks due to how fragile he is as an insect and sadly was caught off guard with Pokey's mom.

Dang, wait, why are we not talking about that one time you head back to the meteor!? Honestly what other places take you literally straight back where you began. I remember almost feeling that the end of Earthbound felt like it was starting to reflect the start, right as you were at the end of the game. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Earthbound is also a humorous game. When he said he wasn't a bee I just went "oh so he's a fly haha."

Interesting facts: You can beat Earthbound with alive Buzz-Buzz (with cheat what make you go through walls). Buzz-Buzz counted as main character and he will not disappear later like Porky ,Picky and King who will be erased when we started to play with Jeff.

I knew this game series was deep but daaaaang. Nice work as always Kevin!!

I always saw Buzz Buzz as merely a gag. As in your only ally and guide at this moment is an extremely frail, pint sized insect who dies like a common house fly not 5 minutes after meeting him.

I think Buzz-Buzz is mysterious not because of how little we know, but how much we do know without any explanation. He's the perfect character to speculate about- why is basically any of him the way that it is?

Maybe Ana and Teddy were both killed in the Future Timeline, with Lloyd possibly being the scientist who made the Comet for Ness too travel through, if so, that would explain why he couldn't accompany him, since he was too busy making sure his travel was successful.

Buzz Buzz didn't die when Lardna hit him. No no. Judging from his name, I think we all know what happened to him and where he went: *To Infinity and Beyond*

Awesome video!, I love your mother videos!

Never heard the anti-Giygas-space-bee theory. Definitely subscribing to it from now on, I like it.

Buzz buzz for me was strange entity, that didn't thought that someone would want to kill him, and did not used shield so died. But, in magicant it says that he "gave up", that is where questions started

Nah man, the identity of Buzz Buzz is none other than... *_Porky Minch!_* Hear me out: Without the meteor to start the adventure, Ness never starts his journey, Paula dies at the hands of the cult, Jeff languishes away in school, and Poo never leaves his kingdom, and more importantly, Porky never breaks bad. So, Giygas invades Earth unopposed. Eventually, Ness mounts a defense but, without the dream team, he has to fight with his dog, King, and his neighbors, Porky and Picky. They struggle at first but eventually formed an iron clad friendship the likes of which the world has never seen. For years, they fight the forces of Giygas and eventually unlock the secrets of PSI but are too late to stop the almighty alien overlord. One by one, Earth's heroes die off, leaving Porky as their sole survivor. By chance, they had meet Dr. Andonut earlier and both he and Porky concoct a last ditch plan to save the world: travel back in time to before the invasion and stop Giygas from amassing power. Unfortunately, due to a war ravaged Earth, machine parts are scarce so the doctor can't construct a robot body for Porky. Instead, they agree to transfer his soul into a beetle. The doctor manages to send Porky back in time to warn Ness and himself of their fatal future. As if fate wer against them, Giygas got wind of their plans and sent a Starman to intercept Porky, causing his time machine to crash, which turns out to be the meteor from the beginning that awakens Ness. Despite the crash, Porky survives and finds the boys. He changes his identity, now calling himself Buzz Buzz, to keep his younger self and the other in the dark until he feels they were ready to learn the truth or else risk scaring them away. With his plan in place, he ushers the boys into their first battle, acting as the mentor that will guide them down the path to a brighter future. Fate, however, had a different plan. Future Porky dies at the hands of his mother (a metaphor for child abuse,) a tragedy only Future Porky could appreciate. Before he dies, he entrust Ness, who in his own timeline was his greatest friend and ally, with the Soundstone, knowing Ness will succeed where he failed. Future Porky never knew how much he had altered the course of history, however. Without Ness to be his friend, his past self became twisted and later sided with Giygas as a response to his abandonment. And, just like Future Porky, he too became a bug, though instead of a beetle he became a vile spider, who would later be doomed to live for an eternity inside a corpse shell. Future Porky lost everything that day and there's no one left to remember his valient sacrifice.

i think its Paula, because it has the same psychic abilities, same damage, there is no way it's impossible, and they have the same low amount of health.

6:04 that is why does the meteor contain zextonium or whatever it was called

That last theory is the one that makes the most sense to me. It wouldn't even require Buzz Buzz to be a bee for it to work. He's just a bug living with other bugs as the survivors of earth after Giygas had destroyed it.

I always thought it was a fly rather than a bee or another insect

Time travel really depends on if you're in a linear timeline or there are multiple timelines. In a linear one, any intentions you had going to the past cannot be done, only accidents can happen or unintentional outcomes. The reason why is because it's a paradox, you do X because Y happened, but once you remove Y, X can't happen because Y never happened. Now, you could inversely have a paradox allow that to happen. So for instance, you could tell your future self to use time travel and the reason you tell your future self to use time travel is because your future self already made time travel happen, which gave your past self a reason to tell your future self to use time travel. Effectively, you use time travel because you used time travel. Sounds silly, but that's the best way I can explain it. I have a lot more theories when it comes to time travel anyway.

There is one thing that wasn’t mentioned (great video, by the way!). In some point of mother 1, Ninten fights a star man junior in a building at a zoo by(or in?) his home town. There was also another time where he defeated presumably the same star man in a store (I don’t remember which store). This all explains why there was a star man junior approaching BuzzBuzz and why he claimed BuzzBuzz/Ninten foiled gigues plan as the star man was helping Gigue. Forgive me if I got anything wrong

I remember back in the day always theorizing that Buzz Buzz was in fact Ninten from the first game. Funny to see I wasn’t the only one. I still believe it till this day.

A few interesting ideas in here for sure. Let me poke some holes and throw out some thoughts. I don't think Podunk and Onett are in the same physical space. We know space travel is possible, and we know time travel is as well. They could be different planets or the same one in different timelines (like Chrono Cross). There are similar locations, but they're not the same locations. There was train travel all over the place in EB0 but there's none to be found in EB, for example. Of course that could also just be a gameplay decision since you get Teleport. As for The B Man... I've never felt like he had to be anyone really related to our characters. Buzz Buzz could just be a freedom fighter from the future when GIygas won and found a way to go back in time to try and stop it (think Terminator kinda?). Maybe in the future they discover the prophecy and decide to send back the one person able enough to get there and deliver the message and point Ness in the right direction. But I'd imagine being a little dude like Buzz Buzz, going through time and/or space and crash landing is gonna mess you up a little. Galuf in FFV just lost his memory and he kinda did the same thing. Or maybe it took so much of his power to make that trip that's why he's unable to use any offensive psi power and why Pokey's mom can one shot him. After the trip and running into the Starman Jr, my man was probably wiped out. All that said, I'd like to think it's supposed to remain ambiguous as to who this little dude is. If we really just sat down and looked at it all we could be getting to "Tony is really Buzz Buzz." theories because there are just so many characters and they all play such important parts. Heck he could even just be a physical manifestation of something/someone else. Ness gets all this energy from the planet though the Sanctuary locations... maybe the planet did it.

Okay video! Thanks for uploading!

I think the Ness theory makes the most sense. The asteroid having time traveling powers doesn’t really add up unless you figure that it’s actually the phase distorter. That means in Ness’ original adventure a meteor never came to tell him about how he is chosen. This means that Pokey never got abused badly that one night and learned about his own destiny. So with no Porky or Buzz Buzz in Ness’ adventure things changed a lot. Ness likely left Onett later on his own accord not even knowing he was part of the Chosen 4 except maybe from his own PSI. This is also why Buzz Buzz couldn’t tell Ness specifics such as where his friends were located. Buzz buzz could be Ninten or a Flying Man too, but I think that Ninten is better off being left out (Itoi said that Ness can be Ninten if you want, I personally like to think of Ninten and Anna being Ness’ parents) and the flying man thing can be a bit disproven as Magicant only exists in ones mind and it’s different for each person, Buzz Buzz grave being there was just because of how much an impact he left on Ness. Ness’ Demon/Nightmare is the Mani Mani statue as that’s ty e most physical representation of evil he had seen up that point. If Giygas could reach into Ness’ Magicant then he could just corrupt Ness from the inside out and make himself appear in Ness’ mind instead of being the mani mani statue

I like the Buzz Buzz is Ninten theory since some of the first non-useless PSI he learns in Mother 1 is... well the stat up and down moves but right AFTER that he learns the shield moves, which end up being... his 3rd most important PSI moves next to his LifeUp and, well, stat buff/debuff moves.

I definitely agree with the Ninten theory holding the most weight.

I think Buzz Buzz is Giygas’s “good side,” somewhat like Sailor Galaxia from Sailor Moon Stars is to Chibi Chibi (if anyone remembers that Anime series). After all, Giygas/Giegue was taken care of by Maria and was sung lullabies as a baby and still held onto some emotions for Maria, plus Giygas absorbed the many minds of other aliens.

It certainly seems to add up when you consider the manner in which giegue mocks ninten over his psi powers in mother 1, where he says that ninten's abilities are "worthy of a lowly insect."

For the Buzz Buzz being Nintin theory you could argue that between the time of the first game and the part of the second game's 10 years in the future on this supposedly 1st timeline Nintin and Ness met during that time and learned about his destiny.

Oh my gosh thank you! I downloaded these awhile ago and forgot where I got them from. I will update the description. You did a great job on them :)

earthbound is my favorite snes RPG game, and the first game I beat twice and now i'm starting to play chrono trigger, live a live, earthbound halloween hack and earthbound beginnings

Never thought I'd see a video on Buzz Buzz

i honestly adore harmony's rendition of buzz buzz as some inventor guy who made robot bugs heehee

You mean Photoman? BuzzBuz? Or maybe the girl next to the library?

“Pesky bee!” -duck

how dare these "theorists" try to make my boy buzz buzz as secretly being a villain. disgusting

Obviously future Ness wanted to ease past Ness into everything, having forgotten all about his imminent demise and thus planned to bring it up in the morning. Or he didn’t know where everyone was prior to when he met them and knew he flat out couldn’t give specifics without figuring out the exact date first.

i love ur MOTHER videos man!!!! keep up the great work

Awesome video! Do you have a link to the rainbow squiggles in the background?

Check the description :)

I'd like to believe that Buzz Buzz came from an alternate timeline or a parallel world when Giygas won or is in a verge of winning against everyone.

If Ninten really is Buzz Buzz, then that would mean he has a cameo in every game! It's pretty inconsequential in MOTHER 3, but one of the Lardna robots directly quotes her line before he's smacked in EarthBound...

...is your secret identity Bob Odenkirk? My head Canon is now Saul Goodman is a gamer

Okay but Ninten comes before Ness so how would he travel into the past to get to Ness

welcome!

I cant be the only one who thought that was tankman in the blurred thumbnail

This is an interesting set of theories, but he'll always be Zarbol to me.

All those theories are good. But I do like the Ninten one the best.

I look at Buzz Buzz as the spirit of other players who have finished the game warning you

I clicked on this video and was jumpscared by my own art of sans dressed as ness

I always thought Buzz Buzz was more so some alien bug, who had maybe been turned (meaning its another alien specie not a alien bug) or that its form is that of a stag beetle with psychokinesis. It also could have been a human who also happens to have PK and in the future was morphed into a Stag beetle.

I think we are missing one thing. Buzz Buzz knows Shield Sigma. I'm the entirety of the series only one other person knows how to use the max powers of the shield skill. Someone that knew Ness was the chosen hero and had innate PSI. It's Paula. Anyone who figures that out knows I meant Paula. Before I get the whole doesn't she use PK Fire thing, well if she used that in battle wouldn't it damage her as either a beetle or robot of tiny stature? The only spells she could use if that is the case are defensive. We also know that Starmen Jr are strong against elemental PSI and not affected by status affects except Hypnosis which Paula does not know. She also knew to reach out to Ness when she was locked away by Everdred and Carpainter in Twoson. What if in her time, Ness never got that message this prompting her to go back as Buzz Buzz by finding Dr Andonuts. Also isn't it unusual that she was the one to be locked away because of her gift? In any case, that's the closest we can get

honestly, buzz buzz is one of my favorite characters and I have no clue why, I just wish he would come back

Medic_Floppa is correct, a scrapped prototype Buzzbound only has 1 recorded playthrough, unto which the Apple of Enlightenment IS the meteor that Buzzbuzz was in after it got almost destroyed by ______. It's a great insight as to who Buzzbuzz is.

One of my favorite pieces of evidence for Ninten being Buzz Buzz is this line from Giegue: "Foolish one, you cannot do a thing with your meager powers... Powers worthy of a lowly insect." It mirrors the Starman Jr.’s dialogue in Earthbound perfectly, and it makes me think that Giegue was the one who turned Ninten into an insect.

The AVGN Buzz Buzz theory is pretty good

Ah yes

so i actually really like the ninten is buzz buzz theory and i wanted to point out a few things. first -- endgame ninten has a shield that prevents damage outright. granted, it also reflects damage, but there wasn't a 'just nullifies damage' shield in mother 1. and i think if it reflected fire betas it would probably end the fight against starman jr. too quickly. they probably wanted you to go oh my god! what a beast! at buzz buzz for at least a few rounds. the second thing is that buzz buzz goes first constantly and gets smashes really often when he attacks, and that's just like ninten. ninten was the fastest character in the game. the last thing i want to point out is about starman jr: he's actually the first boss of mother 1, and that's why he recognizes buzz buzz.

Great points!

i think buzz buzz is buzz buzz... i end my case

I honestly think Buzz Buzz isn't anything more than what he appears to be: He's just a beetle that fought against Gygas. I think someone, like Andonuts or Apple Kid or possibly just some scientist (or maybe a group of them) tried to find someone with really strong psychic power somewhere throughout time, located Ness, and sent Buzz Buzz to train him to fight Gygas.

What if buzz buzz is poo, but he has shapeshifted into an insect and travels back in time to inform ness of the future

I think maybe giygas gave great strength to pokeys mom and since she was so strong if she just swatted him normally it would be a fatal blow.

#2 A bee, he is not. Despite this weirdly said phrase, I'd always believed he was a bee. I didn't even know stag beetles could fly!

1. Future Ness is a beetle to AVOID time problems. 2. Future Ness going into depth would VASTLY effect the future in unknown ways to even to travelers of time.

Personally I like Mother: Cognitive Dissonance's take on Buzz Buzz the most, though I can't say the specifics because it'd be a spoiler to anyone who hasn't played it.
