EarthBound, known in Japan as Mother 2, was released for the Super Nintendo in 1994 in Japan and 1995 in North America, with Ness as its young psychic hero. PSI Rockin is Ness's distinctive offensive psychic ability, learned as he grows stronger, and its B version represents a mid-level form of the attack. Long after the original release, the game's music and battle effects gained a second life through retro gaming videos, remixes and soundboards, where short recognisable clips like this one are reused to signal nostalgia, humour and sudden in-game power.
