Giygas is the final boss of EarthBound, released for the Super Nintendo in 1994 in Japan as Mother 2 and in 1995 in North America. Designed as an abstract, incomprehensible evil, the character became one of gaming's most discussed villains. The intro audio matches that concept, using distortion instead of a clear melody. As EarthBound grew into a cult classic online, clips of the Giygas encounter spread through forums, videos and horror discussions, and the intro became shorthand for cosmic dread in meme editing.
