The Traveling Tourists - Topic for 6.05.02 - 6.12.02



When you first start the game in Onett, you'll run into the Tourists near the Tourist Entertainer's Shack. They claim they are too cheap to rent a hotel... but exactly how did they get in Onett in the first place? Where are they coming from? And finally, what sort of entertainment are they bringing to Onett?

This topic is now closed. Click here to view the current topic!




With EarthBound anything is possible


I believe that they arrived in Onett through a friendly flying camel. They are here to provide the entertainment of cheesy 1960's horror flicks, just to make a quick buck. That is why they are cool.

Hopeless Dreamers?


They're local guys who gave it all up to make it big. They can be found broke between gigs which usally take place in the Onett-Threed area. They're theater workers with a handwritten play and want to stay in the shack so their parents don't know how poor they are.

Dark Nintendo Wizards with Less Brain than Money


I think they must've spent their last dime flying from Summers to Onett. And as for entertainment? Well, they are probably insane, dark wizards that didn't get to fight Ness because it wouldn't fit the theme of the game. Or they're from Nintendo. Either way.

And the million dollars goes to:


If they're too cheap for a hotel, we can assume one of two things.

(a) They're really terrible musicians, which is why nobody wants to hear them. Ergo they have no money and can't get a room.
(b) They're secret agents. One of them gives you a Travel Charm, right? You later find a Travel Charm for sale... SIXTY DOLLARS. They could've sold their travel charm for $30, dug through trash for another $5, and one of them could rent a room and help the other sneak in through the window.

The second theory is obviously more plausible. These "entertainers" aren't even in the right city; the nearest theatre is in Twoson. And they disappear off the face of the planet as soon as you open the door (ie. you can walk in, turn around, walk out, and they're already gone.)

I think they're disguised policemen trying to get you busted for going up to Giant Step. Why else would the cop know to be waiting for you when you came back down?

Reincarnated Celebrities in Red Hats


Who are these guys? Any idiot with a degree in nuclear physics will tell you that these two fellows are the tv greats Ricky Ricardo and Jackie Gleason. Some of you may be thinking I'm crazy because both those men are "deceased." Well, if you look at the picture again, you'll notice they are wearing jaunty red hats! When was the last time you saw a dead guy in a red hat?

Hmmm???

How did they get in Onett? Who wouldn't want two swinging celebrities in their town? I certainly wouldn't pass that opportunity up! Just like I won't pass up the opportunity to travel into the 4th dimension with my magical avocado of joy and tinkling!

Wanted: Aspiring Monty Pynthon Stand-up Comedians


Simple. The traveling twin-doofuses (as I so do love to call them) come from Summers. Seeing as how everything is terribly over-priced there, they quickly went brankrupt. They came to Onett to make a better living in an economically-sound little city. They simply have a stand-up routine not unlike that of Monty Python in their original TV series.

I guess that would be that huh? *click* Ahh, that ought to keep those losers quiet for a bit... oh crud! This thing is still on! CRA--*click*

Can't Read, Clowns Will Eat You


I think that it all started before the sharks formed, and thrashed there shack. Those 2 entertainers, were probably clowns, for childrens birthday parties. They probably had a big business in Onett. They were probably making good money, then probably about a week before that meteorite crashed, Frank and the sharks thrashed the entertainers shack, were those entertainers lived.

Those entertainers then were really out of business, and they wanted to repair there shack but B.H. Pirkle locked it up ad has the key. After Ness unlocks it they thank you and probably leave to get a burger or something, then they come back when Ness is in Twoson and discover that one of there personal items is missing they then leave Onett, and search all accross the world and probably open up a business somewhere in Fourside, this is my theory, that they were clowns.

A Sad Story


Well, it's a long story. Right before the zombie infestation the Threed Circus was undergoing considerable economic stress. The Ringmaster decided that he should lay off some of the less-quality acts. So he saw to it that Romulus and Remus, the two strangely named clowns who wore red, were to be fired.

They made people laugh for the wrong reasons-they were pathetic. One time they had thrown cream pies at each other and missed. One hit a scrawny kid in the face who was highly allegic to any dairy product, and the other hit a lion with a clown in between his jaws. This caused utter confusion and was the main reason why they were shafted.

So they got on the first bus over to Twoson, when Remus began looking for work. They were entertainers-bad ones at that-and Twoson had already booked a long contract with a blues group called the Runaway Five. They knew that Onett was a seaside town, so they might hitch a boat to somewhere else.

Unfortunately, Everdred cleverly pilfered Remus's wallet while trying to sell them some "Ghost Repellant" and they were with just enough money to get a boat ticket. To even worsen the situation, no boats left Onett for a week and the only place they could stay at was a shabby Touring Entertainer's Shack. Of course, BH Pirkle saw this as a potential hideout for the Sharks and locked it up.

Two days after their arrival, some kid with a baseball cap unlocked the door and Romulus gave him the last trinket they owned with any monetary value. When they finally left Onett five days later, the boat's hull hit a sharp rock notorious for damaging boats. The hull was cheap, reflecting the cost of the fares. The little boat sank, along with the ill-fated entertainers and the intrepid captain..

Silence is a Virtue


#1: they are from Onett, of course, as they said it was THEIR house.

#2: They bring the entertainment of SILENCE like that dude on the Captain Morgan commercial. (looks side to side, exits thru a side door, and hands a sack of money to a mysterious hooked hand protruding from a ruffled sleeve.)

Having Fun at Frank's Expense by Mad Doctor


Well,they got here bye...umm..Using their Travel Charm! Yeah! Thats why it's a TRAVEL charm! They brought the entertainment of:

1)Making people beat Frank and his demented robot, and then talking to the mayor to get a key,and
2)giving people their Travel Charms,useless information,and yummy piez!

Now if you'll excuse me, I must go do...things..yeah,things in my..lab..yes,lab...

Sign Me Up!


I think that the hobo guys got into Onett by having lots of money at first, then spending it all on this "Beautiful House". However, the guy that sold this house was the guy selling the $7500 house ( The one at Land's Peak in Onett or whatever you call it ). The guy ran away before they could do anything and were surprised at the piece of garbage they got. They had to stay there, because they lost all their money in the town and on the house.

They entertain people by dancing Disco, but nobody likes their Disco and Disco is dead so they can't get any money. Oh yeah, and they smell funny. And they also look freaky. And they look like hobos. And they are hobos. And they have to live on dead Rowdy Mice and Black Antoids.

Maker's of the Demon Child?


They are minors from the town of Onett who need a job, so they entertain. Their old house is the one for sale on the bay outside of Onett that you can buy. They sold it because the ocean totaled it in a recent storm.

There is a humorous magazine inside one of the desks (The one with the demon child) Maybe it was one of their latest compositions. They tell jokes for entertainment.

Better Pay for Giygas' Minions!


they're giygas's entertainers! They saw giygas teaching his minions how to teleport, so they teleported to onett. Then they hit there head on a tree while landing, and forgot how to teleport back. It's the only LOGICAL explanation!

Ness' Cousin




But Which One's Jill?


They are Jack and Jill (the ones that went up the hill) and they are a traveling circus

Fish Juggling? Someone's Got to Do It!


The entertainers at the shack in the beggining of the game are two brothers anmed Smitty and Horace from the resort town in Summers. This is their story...

After finding out that they could not perform their famous "Rare and Exotic Fish Juggling" act in the Stotic Club, the two brothers packed their things and with the last of their money (its expensive to live in Summers) on a boat to Fourside. The theater there did not want them, because Fourside is too highbrow to see quote "two guys and some goldfish prance around onstage". They then went to Threed and got stopped in the Dusty Dunes Desert to pick up a rare monkey finned fish from Talah Rama.

In Threed they found no audience, just brain feeding zombies. The people were too intrested in the zombies to pay attention to fish juggling. After running VERY fast through the tunnel the entertainers found the theater in Twoson already had an act. Smitty, the oldest brother vowed revenge on Lucky. They spent the last of their money on the hotel but could not get any sleep because some girl named Paula kept asking where Ness was.

In Onett they found a free house for traveling entertainers but one day, while trying to get a job in the Hint Man's house, the Sharks destroyed their place and the Mayor closed it down. With no money after Ness opened the shack, The two returned to Twoson to stay with Horace's friend Mr.T. SO in conclusion please suport your local Fish Juggler's Union.

Simplest Explanation is Usually Right


Well I say they are hobo psychics that spied on ness while he was learning his PSI and now that they know how, they're doing it for money

Seth




Are We Overanalyzing This?


Simple, the tourist are intertainers who came from Fourside to intertain. Their acts left them, along with their money! So, they just mingle around the tourist shack!

Nathan




Runaway Five Rejects


Oh, these guys? They're just leftovers from the Runaway 5 auditions. Instead, they started their own band of other form of entertainment, but it didn't take of so now they're stranded in Onett, broke, homeless...

Krispymann25




Let's Play Pretend


They're obviously mountain-climbers who came from North of Onett. Entertainment they bring is this: The fact that their are no mountains in the main city of Onett.

Orb Fighter




Now Why Didn't Ness Think of That?


They are mimes! They got into onett by hiding in an invisible box, and then taking an invisible rope and tying it to a tree to get past the road block.

NessJeff




I'd Hate to See the Socks


Well that's very simple.... giant feet and meteors!!! You talk to me about some big foot prints and rocks and BAM, I'm there. It's only logic. They probably come from somewhere where feet are small and rocks are lacking... yep. DOING!

Ragnarok




Bribes and Simple Minded Mayors


They got to Onett by flying0, the came from somewhere else, and they are here to entertain the Mayor because he is bored b/c he's too lazy to do anything. Gee I'm smart, here, if you post this i'll give you this pie :D

STAREYe




My Sediments Precisely


It's obvious, isn't it? I mean, any moron knows that. It, um, they are, uh, well... It's plain how they got there, so I'm not even going to answer it. They also are obviously entertainers, so that's why they are there: to entertain. What? No, shut up, I'm still on the air. What do you mean I'm not on the air? Same difference! What kind of entertainment? Who cares?? That's not the point! Wait! Why are you going to the electrical outlet? No, please don't pull that out. That turn off the powe...

Herculepoirot116




Probing Large-Eyed Wanderers


They got to Onett by spaceship. I mean, come on, they can't be from Earth with eyes that big. They didn't rent a hotel because they didn't have any "icky disgusting contaminated Human Money" with them since they just arrived. They came from the solar system that orbits the star Antares. What kind of entertainment are they bringing? They are bringing dancing, singing, and probing.

Red, Red... No I'm Not New at This


Hmm, yes, very good question...and with that comes a detailed answer! Bwhaha. Well, you see, these people used to live happily in Peaceful Rest Valley, that is, until the Happy Happyists came to town. These brothers were exiled because of their attire, which was not blue, but red. The brothers, after selling their house to a midget with a hue nose and a bow in his hair, set off to find another home. Twoson already had entertainers, The Runway Five, and Threed was haunted. Everywhere else was too far away, except for Onett. Now how do they entertain? Simple: by looking at you. Check out those messed up faces!

Lost Starman




Mmmm, Apples of Amusement


These two "tourists" as we call them are not "tourists" at all. They are designers from Summers, and are going to find a new location for a NEW Amusment park, one that is even better then the theme park in Summers! (hehe got idea from AoE if you didn't catch it ;)

EvilSoulx




Giygas' Spies


Those entertainers aren't entertainers at all - they are advance scouts from Giygas. They knew that the first sanctuary location was just beyond the shack they were "living" in, and they needed to know when and how (or if) the sanctuary was reached, and by whom. They knew that the person able to capture the sanctuary melodies would be the one who would have the power to defeat their master. They also awaited Giygas' attack on Onett.

James Furgeson




Hehe It Was Worth a Try


Hmmm.... "Entertainers" who have a shack that says don't enter... they are really cheap.. aw heck, I'm probably the only one who reads subtext.
