Summary
Giygas (or Giegue in Mother 1's localization) is the main antagonist of Mother (localized as EarthBound Beginnings) and its sequel mother 2 (localized as EarthBound). He grew up alongside a couple of humans kidnapped from earth, George and Maria, and grew fond of a particular lullaby sung by her. Due to George learning the powers of his race and escaping, he had to invade earth in order to prevent that the PSI powers would spread on earth, but was defeated by Ninten and his friends through the same melody that Maria's sung to him during his childhood. This would later cause Giygas to breakdown into a state of madness, to such an extent that it was beginning to destroy his physical body, eventually turning him into the monster we know in Mother 2; becoming evil itself that not even he would be able to control. As result, he had to resort to sealing himself within the Devil's Machine to contain the evil abstract form and keep his mind intact. Years after his defeat, being informed that he would be defeated by a kid named Ness, he tried to defy his fate by corrupting Ness's neighbor Porky Minch and many others to end his journey.

Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Genius Intelligence, Non-Physical Interaction (Upscaling from the likes of Early Game Ness), Passive Mind Manipulation, Corruption (Type 2) and Empathic Manipulation (His presence alone caused beings who are mostly evil, or also amoral ones like inanimated objects, for example lamps, dolls or cars, to act under his control and become violent across all the Earth. Corrupted Porky Minch, making him his servant), Madness Manipulation (Type 2), Sound Manipulation and Weather Manipulation (Implied to have created clouds over the mountains which make people go crazy. Should be superior to the technology of the Starmen, which with a "strange sound" can drive animals berserk), Precognition and Space-Time Travel (With the Apple of Enlightenment, Giygas could know about his defeat against the Mother 2 cast, and is heavily implied to be able to travel across time, due to being able to send Starman Junior and others across time and having his technology being superior to Dr. Andonuts and Porky Minch's Phase Distorter, which can move across the various eras and timelines), Summoning (As the Starman Deluxe can call other Starmen to help him, Giygas should be able to do so as well as the Starmen are under his control, and should also be able to call beings controlled from him for support), Energy Manipulation (Attacks with inexplicable energy), Possibly Necromancy and Power Bestowal (Possibly implied to have brought to life zombies. As these zombies can use PSI attacks and Giygas' race has invented PSI, Giygas has probably also gave to them said powers, and this should also extend to the other enemies shown across both Mother 1 and 2)
As Giygas has possibly given to the various enemies across Mother 1 and 2 their PSI abilities and his race is what has created PSI, he potentially has the ability to use also the following powers: Elemental Manipulation (Ice, Electricity and Fire attacks), Telepathy (Via Telepathy), Intangibility (Can use the 4-D Slip to make his body escape in the 4th dimension to easily avoid to fight), Light Manipulation, Status Effect Inducement and Durability Negation (Via PK Beam, which can knock out any kind of enemy regardless of their strenght, or PK Flash, which can instantly knock out opponents as well and also inflict the following: Strageness, Paralysis and Blindness. Upscales from Trillionage Sprout who can inflict diamondization. Can also put to sleep with Hypnosis), Power Nullification (Can block enemies from using PSI with PSI Block and eliminate their forcefields with Shield-Off.

Same as before on a immensely higher extent, including Time Manipulation (Can attack accross time. His influence has shown to spread across time), Immortality (Type 1), Self-Sustenance (All Types), Passive Attack Reflection and Forcefield (Can refect attacks to one of his opponents from doing nothing with his forcefield, which is impossible to remove from the playable cast), Statistics Reduction and Air Manipulation (Can emit a gas which lowers the opponents' statistics), Illusion Creation with the Mani Mani Statue (Created an illusory realm called Moonside), Transformation (Tranforms in the Unsealed form if the Devil's Machine gets turned off), Forcefield Negation, Electricity Manipulation, Durability Negation, Light Manipulation and Status Effect Inducement (Should be able to use both PK Flash and PK Thunder even in this form as he showcased to use it mindessly in his Unsealed state. PK Flash is able to inflict Strageness, Paralysis, Blindness and Instant Defeat, while PK Thunder can attack with lightning which breaks through power shields), Energy Projection (Can use Ness' PK Rocking)
All previous abilities (except Genius Intelligence) to a far higher extent, including also Greater Energy Manipulation (His attacks cannot be comprehended even from Ness despite he has gained the Ultimate Intelligence), Acausality (Type 1. Would have destroyed the entire universe from the past, thousand of years before he was born, and would have still lived, changed the past by deploying his army and twisting space around, but his present form did not suffer any change), Abstract Existence (Type 1. As before he was spreading evil in the minds, in this state Giygas became directly said evil), Higher-Dimensional Existence (Transformed into an Abstract mass of energy that can affect time in its entirety), Reality Warping, Passive Void Manipulation (Is capable of absorbing and erasing Paula's call for help, would have fully erased the kids if not stopped while not being aware of doing so), Unholy Manipulation (Exists as evil energy itself), Multilocation and Darkness Manipulation (Became an entire dimension made of darkness), Immunity to Mind Manipulation (Lacks a mind as it was destroyed from the immense power Giygas has in this state, making him mindless and unaware of what he's doing and what is happening around him)
Resistance to Mind Manipulation, Ice, Fire, Light, Shield Negation, Electricity Manipulation, Status Effect Inducement (Sleep, Paralysis, Confusion, Blindness, and Uncontrollable crying), Statistics Reduction, Power Nullification, and Power Absorption (Unaffected by everything that is thrown at him by both the main cast from both Mother 1 and 2)
Attack Potency: At least Small City level (Casually generated clouds over the mountains, which would require this much energy. Is so strong compared to Ninten and his friends that he considers them mere insect compared to his power, and didn't go full power against them due of him attempting to make Ninten join his side) | Universe level+ (Immensely stronger than before. Even before using the Devil's Machine as an attempt to oppose Ness' newfound power after absorbing Magicant, he's stated to be able to destroy the universe and can attack across time) | At least Universe level+, possibly Low Multiverse level to Multiverse level (Immensely superior to Ness after getting the Devil's Machine turned off to the point that the latter can't even comprehend his power, with Giygas being unable to be defeated from the Mother 2 cast and was going to mindlessly destroy the universe if it wasn't for the Player's prayers destroying him)
Speed: At least Relativistic+, likely far higher (Vastly superior to Ninten and his friends), Massively FTL+ travel speed with his spaceship (Could travel to the end of the universe in a timeframe of 2 years) | Unknown (Is sealed within the Devil's Machine) | Nigh-Omnipresent (Became evil itself, existing as his own dimension, as shown from him becoming the background)
Lifting Strength: At least Class M (Much stronger than the EarthBound Beginnings cast) | Unknown | Unknown
Striking Strength: At least Small City level | Unknown (Doesn't physically attack) | Universe level+, possibly Low Multiverse level to Multiverse level
Durability: At least Small City level (Was invulnerable to attacks from Ninten and his allies and could only be defeated by singing Maria's Lullaby. Maria claimed that no weapon would be capable of defeating Giygas) | Universe level+ | At least Universe level+, possibly Low Multiverse level to Multiverse level (Even after getting his defenses weakened, Ness couldn't still deal any significant damage to him)
Stamina: Superhuman | Infinite | Infinite
Range: At least Hundreds of Meters via PSI, likely Higher (Possesses PSI much more advanced than that of any human). Planetary via his influence (Was able to cause global chaos and corrupt the minds of living beings across the planet) | Universal+ via PSI (Possesses comparable PSI to Ness. His evil able to spread its influence from both the past and the future) | Universal+ (Became evil itself and exists as an entire dimension, being able to spread his influence across time)
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Is the leader of a highly advanced alien race that are vastly more intelligent than humans, including the likes of Porky Minch, Jeff Andonuts or Dr. Andonuts, with the latter being able to create reality bending technology such as the Phase Distorter and the Absolutely Safe Capsule. Constructed a Mothership that can cross the universe in a short time-frame and made entire armies of robots that are able to master advanced PSI techniques. Has access to advanced machinery and technologies that far outclasses anything the human race has demonstrated, such as The Apple of Enlightenment. After his defeat in EarthBound Beginnings, it's implied Giygas created The Devil's Machine that can specifically seal off higher dimensional beings and stabilize his mind, which allowed him to go about his plans in the future. Has masterful control over PSI to the point where lesser beings can't comprehend his attacks. Somehow learned how to slip out of 3-D axis so that he can't be interacted with) | Extraordinary Genius (Stabilized by the Devil's Machine. Is capable of operating and commanding armies for his alien invasion. Maintains all of the previous intellect and knowledge he had prior to transforming. Was able to know every step of Ness's journey even from across time. Able to use PK Rockin, a PSI technique that only Ness knows how to use. Was capable of controlling Porky Minch into devising a decently elaborate plan in the present time and presumably assisted him in creating the Spider Mech, which not only allows Porky to fight against the Chosen Four but also has advanced time traveling capabilities that are superior to what Dr. Andonuts has access to) | Mindless (His own mind was completely destroyed due of it not being strong enough to control his own powers, and because of this, Giygas is unable to process any action or thought from his own and to be aware of what's happening around him)
Weaknesses: If Maria's Lullaby is played, he'll go in an emotional braekdown and won't be able to fight properly. He cannot mind control beings who are mostly good at heart, as showcased from the amount of NPCs being unaffected from his influence | Same as before, except his weakness to the lullaby, as he seems to have got past that | Same as before. Prayers can greatly damage him and reduce his defense, and can potentially kill him if they are strong enough (such as when Paula reached out to The Player)
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- PSI Rockin: A powerful psychokinetic wave that damages all enemies. It is not resisted by any enemies but is the only offensive PSI that can be avoided.
- PSI Flash: A glorious flash of light that has various effects. At the Omega level, it has a 37.5% chance to cause enemies to cry uncontrollably, a 12.5% chance to paralyze, a 12.5% chance to make enemies feel strange, and a 37.5% chance to cause instant defeat.
- PSI Thunder: Giygas attacks with two bolts of thunder that strike random targets. Instantly destroys the target's psychic shield.
