Come one, and come all, for a quiz about the site's favorite game: Earthbound! Each week, starting next week, I will be posting 5 questions about Earthbound. You will PM me your answers, copying the questions into your PM as well. I will post the questions around the same time, on the same day. You have 1 week to PM me your answers. Obviously, you cannot discuss the questions with other members. If you need to have a question clarified, PM me your question. When I post new questions up, I will post the correct answers from the previous week. Some of these questions will be easy, and some will be incredibly hard. You can play Earthbound to look anything up. At the end of the quiz, the person with the most correct questions will win a badge and an undisclosed amount of cash.

I'm guessing this will be similar to the trivia on Starmen.net? I'm definitely no Earthbound trivia whiz (it's been at least 3 or 4 years since I last played it), but I'm excited to give it a shot

Ok, just to clarify, no discussing questions with other members or in this thread. You cannot use any source other than Earthbound. PM any and all questions to me. You will have until this time next friday to submit your answers. YOU MAY ONLY SUBMIT ANSWERS ONCE. If you realize you forgot a part of your answer after you submit it, too bad. When I ask "How many ____ are there?" listing out all of the ___ is not required, but it will help you out. I will ask questions in sets of 5. Without further ado, here we go:
1) In the Chaos Theatre, what is the maximum amount of people in the audience when the Runaway 5 performs?
2) Where can you physically hear a sentence in the game?
3) Which "your sanctuaries" are underground?
4) How many enemies that you fight are canine?
5) How many different bats are there in the game?

I forgot to mention, spelling does not have to be exact. After you PM your answers, I will send you a PM shortly stating how many points you earned, but the correct answers still don't go up till next week.

Sorry about the wait!
1) In the Chaos Theatre, what is the maximum amount of people in the audience when the Runaway 5 performs?
3. The first time they perform, everyone disappears except for Ness and Paula, but if you leave and re-enter the theatre, you can talk to the runaway 5. They offer another show for you to watch. If you go back out to watch the show, the only people in the audience are Ness, Paula, and the girl who posed as Ness' sister to get past security.
2) Where can you physically hear a sentence in the game?
The name selection, AND at the end of the credits.
3) Which "your sanctuaries" are underground?
Lumine Hall and Fire Spring
4) How many enemies that you fight are canine?
5: Runaway dog, zombie dog, Desert Wolf, Carbon Dog, Diamond Dog
5) How many different bats are there in the game?
13 total. 11 baseball bats, and 2 enemy bats. I did not specify how many total in the game, so if you put down 2, meaning equipable bats and enemy bats, I'll give that to you as well.
Week 2 questions:
1) What are 9 enemies found inside of Dungeon man?
2) What is the ZRC?
3) What is the first enemy that can diamondize you by biting you hard?
4) What is the very first boss you fight that has a shield?
5) After you defeat Master Belch, how many zombies are in Threed?
You have until next friday at 10 PM PST to PM me your answers. You may openly discuss week 1 questions in the thread.

It's a site-wide game

Agreeing with Meow on the whole, it doesn't need to be.

It is not a site-wide game. It belongs in this section and nowhere else.
Would you have made this into an announcement if someone else had made the thread and not you? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have.
