As many of you know, one of the most mysterious and enigmatic characters that
you first meet when you start a game of Earthbound is Buzz Buzz. Yup, you know
who I'm talking about, but have you ever wondered about who this stranger from
the future really is? Looks can be deceiving...and I'm not just talking about his
suave dung beetle-like appearance either. Let's take a look at the evidence.
First and foremost, Buzz Buzz is not human. He's a talking bug...supposedly. How
many talking bugs do you know personally? I can't think of any myself. There WAS
the time when I ate a piece of Magic Cake...but I won't go into that. I saw alot of
talking things that night. Um....anyways, like I was saying earlier...Buzz Buzz is
not human. So, it's pretty safe to assume that he is alien in origin.
Second, Buzz Buzz time travels. From what I recall...time travel hasn't exactly
been perfected yet. Buzz Buzz is 10 years from the future of whatever the date is
in Earthbound. Taking a look at Earthbound's surroundings...it's pretty safe to
guess that it's pretty close to our date. So, assuming that's true...I seriously doubt
time travel would be possible anytime soon. So, how does Buzz Buzz know how to
time travel? How did he get the information and knowledge? All the other time
travelers in the game have been allied with Giygas.
Third, he knows alot about Giygas. He knows exactly when Giygas invaded and
what his plans are. I read in a previous article that someone was wondering about
just how Giygas and Starman Jr. knew where in time Buzz Buzz was to track him
down. Kinda makes you wonder. How would Buzz Buzz know so much info about
Giygas? Well, I've come to a conclusion....
Buzz Buzz might originally have been on Giygas's side. It explains how he knows
how to time travel...how he knows Giygas's plans and invasion date...and why he
looks like a bug. Somehow or another, Buzz Buzz decided he was on the wrong
side probably and that is how he ended up as the hero we know today. I mean, how
else could a little bug be such a formidable foe to Giygas? It all makes sense to
me...but then again, he might just be a very accomplished little bug. This is
Earthbound, after all. I mean, who thought a little boy and his friends could save
the world? Anything is possible.
