Tails230 . Have you Earthbound Players ever heard of that, if you looked at Giygas, you can see the outline of a baby's head, and the static at the end was Giygas yelling "GET ME OUT OF HERE"?
Well, at least part of that is true...somewhat. If you look at the dark shape, you can see the outline of a baby's head. Where? Well, the best place to look is in the centre, slightly to the left. Where Giygas's normal "Face" appears is where the brain would be in the baby, and you can see a nose if you follow the outline.
Giygas and Earthbound/Mother are copywright Itoi, Nintendo, and HAL studios.
So, let's say Giygas is a fetus, and the fight is a representation of an abortion. So, you are sent to destroy something that, when it is born, will mean the end for your civilization. You come from a future that isn't looking too good for you so you can destroy the thing before it's born so it can't ruin your chances of being the dominant species. Not to mention, when you reach the past, you're all in the bodies of robots. You know what this means?
NESS AND HIS FRIENDS ARE THE TERMINATOR!
Ness is told by Buzz Buzz that Giygas is a horrible overlord in the future, and because Ness has the power to stop him he is starting to corrupt and defile the present (Ness's time) to stop Ness.
After getting all the musical Macguffins, Apple Kid and Prof. Andonuts build you a time machine. It's not to go to the far future to fight Giygas; he'd be way too powerful.
He puts you in robot bodies and sends you back to the far PAST. You go into Giygas's ship, and travel up a corridor that looks suspiciously biological. It's the (rough) shape of a uterine canal; you go back, as robots, to fight Giygas in the womb and abort him before he was born. That's why you "cannot comprehend the nature of Giygas's attack"; he's a powerfully psychic fetus trying to fight off robot abortion.
