Earthbound Scene 4: Police Brutality

Earthbound Scene 4: Police Brutality

ITS BACK FINALLY
When you finally step out of the cave and back into Onett, you're going to be greeted by an unhappy police officer who'll demand that you go to the Onett police station later. As you'll soon find out, you don't really have a choice if you want to continue your adventure.

If you tried to visit southern Onett earlier, you ran into some roadblocks and police officers blocking the path to Twoson. You need to go there, however, to continue your adventure. It'd be a good idea to go to the police station and try to convince them to remove the roadblocks.

Before you go to the police station, it's a good idea to go home and rest. If you don't have four or five hamburgers in reserve, go to the burger shop and replenish your supply. Then go to the police station and talk to Captain Strong. He'll tell you to follow him if you want to go to Twoson.

Surprise! The Onett cops are out to teach you a lesson in the most brutal fashion. Turn the tables on them! Use PSI Rockin on the cops if you need to. Be sure to keep your HP up over 35 - their crushing chop attacks can do that much damage. Use a Hamburger or Lifeup to recover HP. If you're lucky, a cop or two might leave a burger after you beat them. You'll have to fight four cops before fighting Captain Strong, so be ready!

After the fifth cop runs away, Captain Strong himself will challenge you. His submission hold can deal up to 50 HP of damage, so make sure you keep your HP as high as you can. Feel free to unleash PSI Rockin on him. Two shots should do him in. If you don't have the PP, bashing should be fine. After you beat Strong, he'll order his cops to let you past the roadblocks. Now you can head south to Twoson.

On the way to Twoson, you'll find a small house in which live the "Exit Mice". It's a good idea to pick one up and take it with you. If you're desperate in a cave or maze later, you can use it to get out fast. Drop a food item if you need to make space.

Beware of the Ramblin' Evil Mushrooms that'll attack you along the way - if they "mushroomize" you, you'll soon be unable to walk quite right. The control buttons will change, i.e., when you hit Up, you will walk left instead, etc. Rotate the controller right each time the controls change to better move around. What's worse, though, is that you may become confused and attack yourself in battle if you're mushroomized!

If you do become mushroomized, don't fret! Turn around and head back to Onett. Go to the hospital and talk to the blue-haired healer there. Not only will he relieve you of the mushroom, but he'll pay YOU $50 for it! It's not a bad way to make money. You can also do this at all other hospitals in the game.
