My study of Mother 2 is also continuing.

The part where Doctor Andonuts gives his son Jeff the Skyrunner to meet up with Ness and Paula is very interesting: https://youtu.be/Ginv_KO0wUk?list=PLC72AA488BAA34677

The Skyrunner is, flat out, a UFO. The type Giygas would use to invade Earth. More evidence that perhaps the reason Doctor Andonuts was seemingly more brilliant than Einstein or Heisenburg is because he was getting some otherworldly help.

And the Skyrunner is able to detect where Ness and Paula are being held by sensors. Presumably PSI sensors. And when it discovers where they are.. it crashes into the ground like a cruise missle, almost killing Jeff. And would certainly have killed Ness and Paula if it landed on top of them.

For someone with such otherworldly brilliance, Doctor Andonuts really isn't big on Safety.

There's another thing that made me do a Double Take: The conversation Doctor Andonuts has with Jess when he first arrives at the lab is almost identical to the one DA has with Varik when he shows up in the hack.

This is really weird.. because in Earthbound this conversation happens before Mr. Brick Road is transformed into Dungeon Man. Yet in the Hack DA opens with the Brick Road line.. yet I think lists Dungeon Man as one of his accomplishments later on.

A fractured memory? Is Varik somehow related to Jeff? Teeth In Head Kid does have Jeff's clothes but Varik's hair

Here are my notes on the Earthbound games so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a50WdENFWoVaViDYB52wvwCe3aIZu3GWL-Hsq4qB8m4/edit?usp=sharing
