In addition, instead of the thumbnail, the rip features elaborate animated visuals. The visuals begin with EarthBound 64 screenshots of New Pork City being destroyed, which are pixelated to match the Game Boy Advance's graphical capabilities, before switching to an illustration of the Tower of the Gods from Final Fantasy VI redone with references to MOTHER 3 and Final Fantasy VI added throughout, with Lucas, Duster, Kumatora, and Boney from MOTHER 3 usually present on the right and depicted in the style of Final Fantasy VI party members.
At 3:52, 9:43, and 11:30, the MOTHER 3 party members disappear as the screen shakes and the camera moves higher up the Statue of the Gods, identical to how Kefka's battle progresses as the party defeats each tier of the Statue. The party members reappear when the next tier is reached, bobbing in place from the second tier onwards. Additionally, the camera slowly continues to ascend during tiers two and three.

Once the final movement begins at 11:30, instead of Kefka, Porky Minch from and MOTHER 3 descends, with his appearance and posture heavily modeled after Kefka's god form. His appearance also integrates the design of Porky's spider mech from EarthBound, as well as Giygas as he appears in EarthBound, making up Porky's lower half. To Porky's left and right respectively are the Masked Man/Claus from MOTHER 3 and Terra from Final Fantasy VI, who wears an outfit similar to the Masked Man's.
At 15:25, the screen darkens slightly and the following dialogue is displayed:
MADUIN: Terra, my precious daughter. 
You came from a love so strong that it brought two worlds together. 
That love is part of who you are, and it always will be. 
MADUIN: There are people in this world who still care about you. 
They need you, and you need them. 
Do you feel that warmth that’s been buried inside of you, my child? 
That feeling is love. 
Remember how much your mother and I loved you, and remember the people you love, too.

At 16:18, the screen fades to black before switching to artwork of Terra taking off her helmet next to Claus. It then fades to a different image of Terra carrying Claus, now stripped of his helmet, wings, energy sword, and arm cannon, away from Porky as he falls, followed by a fade to black with text reading:
