*Some fans have noted that Giygas's sprite in EarthBound Beginnings strongly resembles {{bp|Mewtwo}} from the {{bp|Pokémon}} series, and how both are beings with powerful psychic abilities. | |||
*Giygas is one of the only 3 characters in the ''Mother'' series that can use [[PSI Rockin]], the others being Ness and Ness's Nightmare. | *Giygas is one of the only 3 characters in the ''Mother'' series that can use [[PSI Rockin]], the others being Ness and Ness's Nightmare. | ||
*In ''EarthBound'', if one turns an image of Giygas upside-down when his "face" is visible, his face will resemble his appearance in EarthBound Beginnings. | *In ''EarthBound'', if one turns an image of Giygas upside-down when his "face" is visible, his face will resemble his appearance in EarthBound Beginnings. | ||
*During the last phase of Giygas in ''EarthBound'', if one traces the outline of Giygas, the background appears to resemble a human fetus. This started a popular fan theory that the chosen four are traveling to the past to fight Giygas as a fetus, and are stopping the Devil's Machine from "giving birth" to him. This theory was conformed false by [[Shigesato Itoi]], however. | *During the last phase of Giygas in ''EarthBound'', if one traces the outline of Giygas, the background appears to resemble a human fetus.

As a result, if the player is at a high enough level to let the battle against Giygas last for 255 turns, the battle will immediately end and the ending will proceed as normal. | ||
**A similar glitch is possible in the Japan only port ''[[Mother 1+2]]'', which lets Giygas be defeated without using [[Pray]]. In the first phase against Giygas (not to be confused with the phase against Heavily Armed Porky and the Devil's Machine) if the player uses the Viper to poison Giygas and lets his HP drop to 0 through poison damage, the battle ends as if it were a normal battle while receiving 0 exp points, and aside from minor graphical glitches the ending plays as normal. | **A similar glitch is possible in the Japan only port ''[[Mother 1+2]]'', which lets Giygas be defeated without using [[Pray]].
