F***ing Kraken

Okay, so I’m playing Earthbound again, and first of all, the game still rocks. :cool:

Now onto the point: I can’t get the Gutsy bat, no matter how many of those Bionic Kraken I kill. I was lucky as hell, and got the sword for Poo without too much trouble, but damn, this is not an easy item to find.

Who out there has gotten the bat? How much does it really rock? And, is it worth all the trouble to get? Statistically, it looks absolutely gorgeous, but how much fun is it to actually apply the bat to Pokey’s face?

Anyone have any thoughts?

Note: This is not a help request, therefor I did not put it on the Gaming Help forum. If however I am mistaken and it belongs there, sorry.

I’ve never gotten it, but as far as I know it wasn’t Bionic Krakens that dropped it, it was the regular Krakens in Magicant. I could be wrong, though.
