Mother 3 is the long-awaited sequel to EarthBound and the third (and final) entry in Shigesato Itoi's Mother franchise. Like prior games, the game contains weird and quirky writing and gameplay which features deft employment of Mood Whiplash in its artistic story, and centers on a young boy with psychic powers and his friends — but in this game, the time and setting are vastly different, and the threat to humanity is much more earthly than it was long ago.The story follows Lucas, a young boy living in the rural Tazmily Village along the Nowhere Islands. His family- doting mother Hinawa, eager brother Claus, kind canine Boney and gruff but loving father Flint- separate for the weekend while Hinawa visits her father with the boys in tow. While they're out of town, a mysterious technologically advanced army of men in pig-like masks begins invading the islands and stirring up all sorts of trouble, in particular taking forest animals and twisting them into horrific chimeras of flesh and steel. When tragedy strikes, Lucas is forced to grow up fast to take on the pigmask army before it destroys the world he loves so dearly. While he receives aid from many allies (including party members Duster and Kumatora), it soon becomes clear that the scope of what's at stake is a lot larger than just the peace and quiet on the Nowhere Islands...Unlike its two predecessors, Mother 3 shifts focus several times between the main protagonist, his family, and the people (and sometimes animals!) who will become his allies — and true to its slogan, its story is regarded as the darkest (and most emotional) of the three games while retaining all of the silly charm which endeared its fans to begin with.Mother 3 is notable for its long development cycle (approximately the length of the already-long production of the previous title), having been planned almost immediately after Mother 2 was released. Details began to surface of Mother 3 as a Nintendo 64 title — as part of the now-failed Nintendo 64DD add-on — and was even given the tentative worldwide title EarthBound 64 before falling into vaporware territory (its earliest development predated Duke Nukem Forever's, which didn't surpass its time in Development Hell until 2007). It was officially cancelled in 2000, but eventually resurfaced in 2003 and was finally released for the Game Boy Advance in 2006 — apparently due to renewed interest while Mother 1+2 was being worked on. However, Nintendo has yet to release the game outside of Japan, despite vocal campaigns of support for an international release. Lucas eventually saw international recognition due to his inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.Nintendo would end up not releasing the game outside of Japan, as not only did EarthBound horrifically undersell in North America, but the GBA was also all but dead in North America and Europe by the time Mother 3 released; by 2006, they had effectively stopped releasing first-party games for the system in Western markets in favor of focusing on the Nintendo DS. In response, a project to create an English-language Fan Translation began, which took two years to complete. Releasing in 2008, the fan translation would later receive an update in 2014 that fixed up minor typos, grammatical errors, and bugs; it can be found here, though you'll need an official copy of the game to play it. As it stands, the translation is currently the only way to ever play the game in a language that is not Japanese. For ease of reference, this unofficial translation is the primary source for tropes.

Visible Silence: The Masked Man speaks in ellipses, except in two cases — at the sixth Needle, most likely giving commands to his army, as what he said wasn't even written onscreen, and during the final battle, after regaining his memory of being Claus, Lucas's brother, and then suffering mortal damage due to consciously reflecting a highly-powerful lightning bolt he fired off of Lucas's Franklin Badge, apologizing to his family before dying.

Dr. Andonuts then asks if it's wrong that he feels sympathy for him, and questions if maybe it's what he wanted after all. Then, after the Post-Final Boss...

Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag: Boney pretends to be a human boy in Chapter 4 in order to sneak past some guards. He does a good job at it, but since walking on two legs wears him out, he switches back before long. (This is almost certainly a reference to Mick and the Duncan Factory dog back in EarthBound Beginnings.)

Gaia's Lament
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_13a6b7ef
comment
Gaia's Lament: According to Leder, civilization collapsed and most of the world become uninhabitable. A group of people used a white ship to flee to the last part of the world that had not been corrupted, the Nowhere Islands, and debated what it was about the old world that made it unstable. After reaching an agreement, they brainwashed themselves to preserve nature and themselves, founding Tazmily Village and unknowingly starting over. When the Pigmasks took full charge, though, their efforts were ruined, and the islands were irresponsibly twisted into a mess of futuristic machinery and modern infrastructure. Either way, Lucas changes it in the ending when he pulls the last Needle... Maybe.

comment
When Hinawa dies, everybody reacts differently. Lucas, her younger son, can't do anything but cry his little heart out at her grave. Claus, her older son, foolishly tries to avenge her, fails, and goes missing. Flint, her husband... breaks, then spends the next three years shut off from everybody and everything other than searching for Claus. Alec, her elderly father, seems to be the least affected, though it's implied he's just putting up a face for the sake of coping.

 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_143e6c8d
comment
Heroic Mime: Played with even more than in EarthBound: the role of protagonist is shuffled around between characters before the Time Skip, and whoever holds it at the moment is silent, but these characters are perfectly talkative when someone else is in the lead. The exception is Salsa, who never talks at all. Granted, he's a monkey. Lucas hugely deconstructs this trope: it's strongly implied that the reason he doesn't talk much for the vast majority of the game is because of the horrific trauma from watching his mother be mauled to death in front of him. The most dialogue he ever gets is at the very end of the game, after the Dark Dragon is awakened and the Pigmasks are purged from the world; by this point, he's shown to have come to terms with his trauma, allowing him to speak out again. One scene, at the start of Duster's chapter, is a repeat of the same scene in Flint's chapter, except Flint talks at the end, symbolizing the role of Player Character moving to Duster, who doesn't talk for the rest of the chapter.

Darker and Edgier
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: Considerably so compared to the first two games. To name a few examples; you know how Ness from the previous game couldn't go far without having to call his mother for support, due to homesickness? Lucas can't, because his mother was violently killed in front of him when he was younger. And Ness having a young, sweet sister? Lucas's twin brother essentially commits child suicide at the end of the game. Hell, the game was originally going to be even DARKER than the final version. The Dummied Out "nightmare" backgrounds show that some of these elements were in the GBA game for a part of its development, too. It could even be argued that this is Nintendo's darkest game (not counting Eternal Darkness), period.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The process of learning new PSI abilities is deliberately evocative of menstruation; Lucas and Kumatora suddenly get a high fever, which temporarily disables the run feature, as the party can't move around too quickly without agitating them. After walking around enough, the fever dissipates and the PSI ability is learned. The metaphor is further heightened by the fact that Lucas doesn't learn PSI until after the Time Skip — puberty typically begins later for AMAB kids (though in real life, only AFAB people menstruate). One room in the Empire Porky Building dedicated to his 'biggest fans'. The only people in the room are a harem of scantily clad girls (plus a male-presenting Oxygen Machine, which kisses people to give them air), the furniture consists of recliners, and the music is slow and sultry.

You Can't Thwart Stage One: The Pigmask Army manages to claim three of the seven Needles — although on one of them, the party had firm grasp of the Idiot Ball. (Tanetane Island is one prime example.

Obnoxious Entitled Housewife: Elmore. She is one of the most unpleasant villagers of Tazmily, even before the Time Skip, and treats everyone with indiference because of her position as the mayor's wife. She even openly tells Lucas that she hates him, and wants her son to be a succesful person just so he will make her life easier.

Peninsula of Power Leveling
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_16972b3c
comment
Peninsula of Power Leveling: A late game example — near the end of the sewers under New Pork City, there is a room with a hot spring you can abuse for free unlimited healing. It's one door away from an area populated by enemies that give good EXP. Without free unlimited healing close at hand, they would be annoying to fight due to their tendency to inflict status effects, but since the hot spring means you don't have to be concerned either about that or about conserving PP, you can repeatedly one-shot them with PK Love Omega.

Storyboarding the Apocalypse: Done by the Magypsies when they reveal what'll happen if the Masked Man pulls the majority of the needles. Because he's an emotionless Chimera, and therefore has no personality or "heart"/"soul" to put into the Dark Dragon, the Dragon will then perceive that as him having no heart, and will cause the world to completely cease to exist.

I Miss Mom: Lucas shows many signs of this throughout the game, one of the the most notable moments being Chapter 6 when he tearfully chases his mother's ghost through a field of Sunflowers and jumps off a cliff trying to reach her. Claus definitely shows signs of this too, which is why he heads out in Chapter 1 to avenge her death at the hands of the Mecha-Drago. And if the final battle is anything to go by, even 3 years of being brain-washed as a killing machine didn't change this sentiment one bit.

Happy Rain: Played With in Chapter 1. The start of the rain coincides with Lighter reuniting with his son, which is a somber, but happy, moment. As Tessie points out, the rain is also a good thing because it will help put out the forest fire. However, several other things happen during the same rainstorm that are less than happy.

Magic Is Rare, Health Is Cheap: Magic Tarts and Puddings are rare as they ever were, but thankfully, this only really affects Lucas and Kumatora. Boney is an Item Caddy, and Duster (as well as Guest Star Party Members Flint and Salsa) can use skills infinitely with no restrictions. Early game, you can even get lots of HP restoring items for free, since the citizens of Tazmily don't know what money is yet.

 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Sparrows explain the gameplay mechanics in what they call "game speak," and early on in the game, a character addresses you directly, asking you to enter your name. There is also a character who is induced to be sick because you (the player) just won't let up on hitting A to advance the dialogue. And let's not forget that imagining "something called a B button" is how you learn to dash. The player gets directly asked their name, and then told to forget that they were ever asked. You're asked again in a later chapter, having the asker being very nervous about breaking the Fourth Wall, and telling Lucas to be careful or he might inconvenience the player.

Faceless Goons: The Pigmasks.

Also seen in Chapter 5, when some of the Pigmask NPCs wonder if they're doing the right thing when operating the Thunder Tower; and in Chapter 8, when a Pigmask in full uniform and face-concealing helmet, if spoken to, identifies himself as Isaac, having just recently joined the Pigmask Army.

Crapsack World: New Pork City, and the Nowhere Islands after the time skip. Highways, concrete, steel, and technology have dominated the island, practically all of the local wildlife has been changed into robots or hideous chimeras, Tazmily has been abandoned after it was formed into a modern suburban-style town, and the familiar townsfolk of Tazmily have become distant from each other. Some are now jerks to Lucas and his party when they once were kind to them. In New Pork City, Porky rules with an iron fist. Lights, noise, junk food, media propaganda, and other artificial distractions are the way of life, and nature does not exist outside of a polluted trash dump.

It Sucks to Be the Chosen One
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_224f98fa
comment
It Sucks to Be the Chosen One: While Lucas isn't officially name-dropped as the Chosen One (though he is called this by Leder, in Chapter 8), the fact that he's one of only two people in the whole world who can use PK Love and pull the 7 Needles to awaken the dragon in a time where the world greatly would need its' power as prophesied hints at it. The Magypsies flat out point out this fact too. As such, Lucas definitely fits this trope, given all the traumatizing things that happen to him as he goes on his journey. The trope also applies to Claus as well, as he fulfills the same criteria as Lucas under "Chosen One" status, and because of this, he is robotized and brainwashed into becoming the Masked Man, where his ability to pull the needles and his Psychic Powers are exploited for Porky's personal gain.

Chekhov's Gun: As early as Chapter 2, when you play as Duster with Wess in your party, you can see a needle stuck in the ground sparkling across the balcony overlooking the courtyard outside. Wess will only give a brief mention of a legend and then quickly dismiss it because "he's not looking for that". That needle happens to be Aeolia's end of existence and one of the Seven Needles Lucas has to pull before the Masked Man does first, which could cause the entire world to cease to exist. Early into Chapter 7, Lucas gets the Courage Badge, which is then taken by a Mr. Saturn shortly afterwards. Near the end of the Chapter, you find out it's a Franklin Badge. Furthermore, and compared with previous games in the series, it cannot be equipped, and will only reflect Electric attacks directed at Lucas. Depending on how well you do against enemies with Electric attacks, you might not even remember you had this item in this inventory, but don't worry — it gets a critical role at the very end.

Bedsheet Ghost: The Stinky and Friendly Ghosts in Osohe Castle. Notably, the former had an appearance change from EarthBound — in that game, Stinky Ghosts were devilish-looking ghosts living in trash cans, while these are based on the Zombie Possessor.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Gear
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_23cb7c45
comment
So Long, and Thanks for All the Gear: Two characters can plague you with this: Flint is only playable during Chapter 1, and even if you give it to Duster before the chapter ends, he still doesn't keep any of the stuff Flint gives him regardless. Salsa will also take off with your crap forever after Chapter 3 and Chapter 7, so give all of his stuff to Kumatora or Lucas/Boney before he goes. In fact, when Salsa comes back in Chapter 7, he still has all the stuff he had during Chapter 3, which gives you a second chance to have Lucas or Boney take it.

Genre Deconstruction: It's Mother. It deconstructs the Japanese RPG genre; no surprise there. However, this game goes even further than its predecessors. Look no further than how the concept of currency is introduced for a singular example.

Arcadia: Tazmily Village during the first three Chapters, being a small, rural-looking town where things like electric appliances or even money are absent. After the Time Skip, it stops being the case. Turns out, the village's original situation was chosen on purpose by the inhabitants of the White Ship to not make the same mistakes that caused the destruction of the rest of the world.

Thriving Ghost Town: This game is the only one in the series that doesn't avert this trope. Only a certain amount of people were able to escape the dying world, and at the rate things were going, the people of Tazmily Village would probably die out in several centuries. Porky Minch defies this trope by filling Nowhere Islands with people from different times.

Mythology Gag
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Only applies in Japan, but Tessie and Jackie were named after certain characters in EarthBound who themselves had their names modifiednote They were originally Tassie and Boris. from Mother 2. "Alec" and "Isaac" were also exclusively from EarthBound, as alternate names for Ness and Jeff respectively. One of Negative Man's turn-wasting lines is to say "Life is but a moment, a meaningless grain of sand...", a paraphrased lyric from Flying Man, one of the songs from the MOTHER album. In addition, he will sometimes refer to himself as a worthless protoplasm. Back in EarthBound, due to limitations, map sprites would often not fit the enemies they belong to. It was especially noticeable in the final visit to Onett and the Cave of the Past, where every enemy would be shown as a weird floating cube (even the two Starman types, considering their weaker variations do have their own overworld sprites, and the Bionic Kraken and Squatter Demon, Palette Swaps of earlier bosses) until the battle starts. Once you reach the caverns under New Pork City, the unfitting sprite makes its grand return... except this time, the enemy behind it, the Minerali, actually is a weird floating cube.

Ash Face: When Flint saves Fuel from being trapped in a Burning House, the two are covered in soot, and if you go into a hot spring while like this, the only thing that'll be left covered in soot are their faces. Everyone you talk to will also immediately lampshade this. In Chapter 5, while in Thunder Tower, Lucas gets struck by lightning, but it doesn't cause any damage on him. He instead just looks burnt and learns PK Flash in the process.

One-Time Dungeon: Most dungeons and areas in the game can be revisited in at least one later chapter (although the enemy types and layout will change with the plot). The major exceptions are the Attic Dungeon in Chapter 4, which becomes inaccessible once the chapter ends with its completion, and the Thunder Tower, which is only accessible in Chapter 5 because the story at that point involves infiltrating and destroying it.

Easter Egg

Easter Egg: There's lot of 'em. If you talk to one of Butch's Pigs in Chapter 2, he'll say that he knows a Pig who has inside information on "Something-or-Other 3." When a Pigmask offers Lucas a gift saying it's "strictly" on a friend basis, if you talk to him again and pay close attention, you'll notice that Lucas actually says something and talks back to him, being the only time in the game (besides in the Debug Room) that you see Adolescent Lucas's talking sprite. Most people miss this because Lucas just repeats exactly what the Pigmask says to him, and assume it's another case of Welcometo Corneria. If you show the Friend's Yo-yo to the Masked Man in the middle of the first fight with him, the text will say "The Masked Man was happy for Lucas!"

Awesome, but Impractical: The New Years' Eve Bomb, it brings an enemy down to only 1 HP. The only downside is that every enemy you try to use this on that isn't the King Porky Statue will cause the item to be a Dud and fail. Because otherwise it'd be a Game-Breaker.

Sound Test
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_2c1ce1fc
comment
Sound Test: The game has one, called the Sound Player, available from the beginning, but the track names are hidden until you listen to them in the game proper. For some unexplained reason, there are a few songs not included in it, such as the Chiptune version of "No Eating Crackers in the Cinema" (commonly called "This Theater Stinks" by fans) and the song that plays in Sunshine Forest from Chapter 4 and beyond. (Called "Unsettling Preserve".)

Hidden Depths: Who knew Duster was so good on the bass? Kumatora, of all people, has a soft spot for the Magypsies, though we don't know why for a while. As it turns out, they were her adoptive parents. A screenshot◊ from the Mother3i CD's booklet shows young Kumatora playing the piano in Osohe Castle.

comment
Misplaced Retribution: The Jealous Bass at the attic of Club Titiboo is so jealous of the bass it was replaced with, that it decides to vent its frustrations on Lucas and Boney just because they happen to be there. Fassad blames Lucas and co. for his fall off Thunder Tower, even though it was caused by his own carelessness and habit of throwing banana peels once he is done eating them. For bonus points, his battle theme is called "Unfounded Revenge".

comment
Beef Gate: The Zombieshroom at the beginning of Tanetane Island isn't the usual "you'd better be leveled up" variety — after the previous cutscene, everyone in the part is at 1 HP, 0 PP, and lost all their items, so the unavoidable Zombieshroom fight ensures you heal up with those funky shrooms. Weirdly, once you do eat the shrooms, the battle becomes skippable. Don't visit the Sunshine Forest in Chapter 4 unless your first goal for the chapter is to lose to some Grated Yammonsters.

Apologetic Attacker
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_31cd5fe7
comment
Apologetic Attacker: One of Salsa's skills is to "apologize profusely" to the enemy. This is a nod to one of Porky's totally useless actions when he's your party member in EarthBound. Other enemies sometimes waste their turns apologizing, such as Pigmasks. Incidentally, this is one of the first huge instances of foreshadowing to the fact that Porky is the main villain, besides the whole "pig" motif.

Age-Appropriate Angst
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_31f0842c
comment
Age-Appropriate Angst: When Hinawa dies, everybody reacts differently. Lucas, her younger son, can't do anything but cry his little heart out at her grave. Claus, her older son, foolishly tries to avenge her, fails, and goes missing. Flint, her husband... breaks, then spends the next three years shut off from everybody and everything other than searching for Claus. Alec, her elderly father, seems to be the least affected, though it's implied he's just putting up a face for the sake of coping. Three years later, Lucas, having gotten stronger and more mature over the course of the adventure, has to fight a brainwashed Claus and ultimately have him die in his arms. He still feels grief, but it's not crippling enough to prevent him from finishing his quest to save the world.

 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_32e279c4
comment
Humans Are Flawed: However, the game does feature Hinawa and Lucas (who are both human), who are nowhere near the bastards Porky and Fassad (who is a Magypsy) are. Even in the case of Tazmily being influenced by the Pigmasks, it's arguable that it's just as much that several of them are ignorant from years of living in a controlled environment After the End as it is that they are inherently morally questionable by virtue of being human. Despite this lingering fact, there still seems to be a Rousseau Was Right theme in there, just like all of the Mother games.

Game-Breaking Bug

comment
How to trigger the event flags in Sunflower Fields, which can kind of ruin the impact the chapter for it has. If you just walk to the left, the event flag that triggers Boney won't trigger. You're suppose to zig-zag up and down as you walk instead of walking in a straight line. It's admittedly simple, but it can trip gamers up since it's something that one wouldn't think of, with most likely thinking a Game-Breaking Bug has happened or some form of Copy Protection is taking place.

Awful Truth: Leder's final role is to tell Lucas how his beloved home of Tazmily was always a fabrication; a fringe village on the edge of nothing, whose people had willingly brainwashed themselves to prevent another armageddon. This is why the villagers act so cruelly when Lucas mourns for any length of time; they have a very strong reaction to "bad" feelings. Look at how they first tell Flint the bad news. And look at how Flint completely breaks down afterward.

"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_3f92ad39

A very important one happens in the Final Battle. Lucas and Claus are fighting each other in a heartrending "I Know You're in There Somewhere Fight, and Hinawa's ghost pleads with them to remember their past and stop fighting. The two then have a flashback to when they were babies, when their parents hoped for the best for their futures and had faith that they'd grow up to be wonderful people. This is what finally gets Claus to return to his senses.

You're only option is to take the spittoon back to Wess and have Duster get chewed out and called a moron for not realizing this wasn't what he asked for, even if the player does.

Guest-Star Party Member: During the first three chapters, there are various "guest" party members that can (sometimes) help out in battle. Most of them aren't very useful, but Wess certainly fits this trope, and Fassad in Chapter 3 is far more powerful than the main character at that point (which isn't saying a lot, so he's essential to have in battle).

Non-Lethal K.O.: Unlike the first two Mother games, characters who get KO'd in combat don't become ghosts. Rather, they then essentially sleep walk while unconscious once you return to the overworld alongside the current conscious party members. They return to their normal state at 1 HP once a cutscene occurs, though. Like previous Mother games, enemy encounters don't "die" per se; for example, Pigmasks you take down instead surrender after defeat.

Brainwashed: Everyone in Tazmily Village (except for Leder and the kids) was willingly brainwashed to prevent another collapse of society. Not to also mention how Tazmily is brainwashed by the Pigmask Army and how the Pigmask Army was brainwashed as well. Claus is also brainwashed into becoming the Masked Man. There's also everyone who was subjected to the Nice Person Hot Springs, which supposedly turns people (and animals!) nice, when in reality they are brainwashed to adore Porky and agree with his decisions.

All of the Other Reindeer: Interestingly, at the beginning of the game, this trope literally doesn't exist In-Universe. Everybody in Tazmily is friends with everybody else, and differences are respected and even embraced. After the Time Skip, however, this trope is in full effect against anybody in Tazmily not in ownership of a Happy Box.

Thematic Sequel Logo Change
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_4efce9e6
comment
Thematic Sequel Logo Change: The logo is chaged into a combination of wood and metal, with the globe that makes the "O" of previous games being replaced by a metal sphere, to represent the Pigmasks' encroachment on nature and their Unwilling Roboticisation of its wildlife. This also factors into the plot, as after the game ends and the world is remade, the logo changes to be completely wooden, with the metal sphere having turned into a realistic picture of the Earth, as opposed to the stylized versions of previous games.

World Limited to the Plot: In EarthBound, you more or less travel all over the world to other continents and even uncharted parts of the world. But in this game, you only explore the Nowhere Islands. The reason for this is because everywhere else on Earth has been destroyed; People destroyed the world long before the events of the story took place, and the Islands are the only inhabitable place left on Earth.

Do Well, But Not Perfect: Porky will force you to play a series of competitive challenges against his pathetically inept Porky-bots during the ascent through the Empire Porky Building. The only way to progress is to give a 90-99% percent effort and lose by a hair or else he will get mad and accuse you of cheating (win a game) or losing on purpose without trying (lose a game by more than a hair).

But Thou Must!
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_504e271f
comment
But Thou Must!: It doesn't really matter what option you pick in any choice; all that'll happen is you'll get a slight change in the dialogue, and sometimes be forced to answer again. An interesting variation occurs at the end of Chapter 4. If, somehow, you lose to O.J. in Stone-Sheet-Clippers, a man will come in and tell you to keep the noise down. O.J. won't remember his (winning) result, and you get to try again. Special mention goes to the final choice of the game — choosing not to pull out the last needle results in Lucas doing it anyway, actively defying the player to do what he knows is right. There was even special Unused text that was supposed to show if you chose No, which was "No one can stop Lucas from pulling the needle. No one. A particularly cruel example occurs throughout the entirety of Salsa's first chapter. The player can refuse to do everything Fassad tells Salsa to do, but he'll just use his remote for the shock collar he has on Salsa to electrocute Salsa over and over and over again until you agree to do it.

Disproportionate Retribution: Anyone in Tazmily that doesn't get a Happy Box and refuses to embrace change is shamed by the rest of the townsfolk and has their house detroyed by lightning.

Book Ends: The last shot of the credits is Hinawa releasing a blue pigeon, but the end screen plays with this even more by echoing the title screen. The Game starts with Lucas's family all living happily together before they're torn apart by the Pigmask army, with Hinawa's death, Claus's disappearance, and Flint all but abandoning Lucas to search for Claus, leaving Lucas and Boney alone. During the Final Battle, the whole family is reunited at the Last Needle, even Hinawa through the means of appearing as a ghost to save Claus, only for them to be separated again for the final time, with Claus joining Hinawa in death. The First Battle of Mother 3 has Lucas and Claus fighting a Mole Cricket together. The Final Battle of the game also has them fighting, but this time it's against each other. One that's even more meta: One of the final areas of the Empire Porky Building has the music from the title screen of EarthBound Beginnings. And to top it all off: The ending credits music contains the Eight Melodies from EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound, as well as the Mother 3 Theme of Love.

Boom Town: New Pork City. The entire populace of Tazmily moves there by the end of the game. Not to mention most to all attractions in the city are named after their founder and leader. It basically exists to feed Porky's ego. Notably, it's not as big as it looks: there are only a small number of real buildings, but to make the city seem grander in scale, it is padded out with a lot of plywood cutouts of buildings, similar to what one might find on a film set. Speaking of their leader, he has his own statue to add on to the city. Watch out, though...

Flashback
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_53c9fc92

Flashback: This tends to happen to Lucas often throughout the game. Lucas first gets a couple at the start of Chapter 4, where he's reminded of the painful absence of his mother when he tries to leave the house before getting dressed and how she used to comb his hair while he's dressing himself alone. It happens again in Chapter 6, when he gets one right before he sees his Mother's ghost. A very important one happens in the Final Battle. Lucas and Claus are fighting each other in a heartrending "I Know You're in There Somewhere Fight, and Hinawa's ghost pleads with them to remember their past and stop fighting. The two then have a flashback to when they were babies, when their parents hoped for the best for their futures and had faith that they'd grow up to be wonderful people. This is what finally gets Claus to return to his senses.

Fantastic Rank System: The Pigmask Army has a small ranking system that you meet throughout the whole game: Aquatic Mook: The Navy SQUEAL's surround the underwater area of Cerulean Beach. Mooks: Regular ol' Pigmasks in pink uniforms. Elite Mooks: Both the Pigmask Captain and Pigmask Major can qualify as this. The Captain shines a blue uniform while the Major enrobes in a green uniform. Mook Lieutenant: The Pigmask Colonel who dons a cape in a white uniform. King Mook: The Pork Trooper, also called the "Scary Womanizing Pigmask", has his uniform that would be classified as a Heavily Armored Mook.

Immune to Mind Control: Despite most of Tazmily and the Nowhere Islands getting corrupted by the Pigmasks and Porky, there are a few characters who stay in their own mind and remain allies to the heroes right to the end, such as Leder, Dr. Andonuts, Lighter, Fuel, Alec, Wess, Bronson, and the boys from DCMC. All of them except for Leder (who is chained up) even stand with Lucas's party in confronting Porky when he reveals himself.

Nobody Poops: Like in EarthBound, averted, and how! Toilets (and people using them) are everywhere. There's even a dungeon made of them in the Empire Porky Building, and you can find many Pigmasks doing their "business" there. Beware the PK Starstorm-using Men's Room Signs, though! One small cutscene features Pigmasks having a conversation that revolves entirely around what to use the hooks in the bathroom for. Not only the Pigmasks use the bathrooms, but the Ultimate Chimera does too. All those Pigmasks it ate have to come out sometime. He doesn't take it kindly if you disturb him on loo. The worst part is that you need to piss him off if you want to get the treasure chest inside the Ultimate Chimera's bathroom stall.

I Am Not Left-Handed: Once Miracle Fassad is backed into a corner, he reveals he's a PSI user. If you weren't already suspecting it, this is also a hint toward his real identity as one of the Magypsies, who have already been established to be well versed in PSI.

Cute Critters Act Childlike: The Mr. Saturns. They're cute, innocent, playful, friendly, have a bizarre speaking syntax and their dialogue is even written in in a font resembling loopy, childish handwriting. Despite this, however, they are extremely intelligent and capable of building technology light years ahead of what humans can.

One of the mice in the castle lampshades their friendliness.

Animalistic Abomination: The Dark Dragon, a creature so incredibly immense that it's said the entirety of the Nowhere Islands rests on its back, is so powerful that it protected the islands from the rest of the world becoming uninhabitable, was so feared that he had to be put to rest with Seven Needles that are each guarded by Magypsies (ageless beings capable of using PSI that cannot die unless their Needle is pulled) but can only be pulled by people capable of PK Love, and, if woken up, will cause The End of the World as We Know It (although it can create a better world in return, depending on who pulls the Needles).

Disc-One Nuke: The Squawking Sticks outside the factory in Chapter 4 have a 5% chance of dropping a Good Stick. There'll be no better weapon available for Lucas for the next couple of chapters, so it may be worth your time to try and obtain it as soon as you can. At the beginning of Chapter 5, you can backtrack to Osohe Castle and defeat Lord Passion; for doing so, you'll get the Mystical Shoes, which will last Duster all the way through to Chapter 7, if not the rest of the game. Black Beanlings give way too much experience upon defeat. If you can kill just one in Chapter 4, you'll skyrocket by like 10 levels, and steamroll everything.

Twin Telepathy: Clearly something is going on when Lucas and the Masked Man meet each other at each needle. The Flashing Colors and their elipses each time they see each other imply that on some level they know who they're looking at. The trope can also be taken literally in terms of wording, given the fact that both Lucas and Claus are Psychic and are the only ones in the world who can use PK Love.

Triumphant Reprise: The theme of the first chapter boss Mecha-Drago is an imposing, melancholy tune, symbolizing the duel between Flint and the monster that killed his wife. The theme returns at the end of chapter 3, with Kumatora and company cornered, suddenly Lucas shows up and so do a pair of normal Dragos in a triumphant return that signals a change in the story, and it's also at this point where Lucas takes over as the protagonist for the remainder of the game.

Audacious March and His Highness' Theme have a bit of similar notes to Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No.5. Leder's Gymnopedie is Erik Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1.

Attack Reflector: The Counter and PSI Counter moves exclusive to this game reflect half of Physical and PSI damage back at the attacker respectively. As you learn more and more PSI and get stronger, more of the Bosses, especially in late game, will usually have this on at the start of battle to prevent you from cheesing them out with a lot of damage at the start. The Franklin Badge, much like in Mother and EarthBound, allows Lucas to reflect all lightning-based attacks back to whoever used them. Claus uses it for tragic results.

Badass Normal: Duster's got no psychic powers to speak of, but he's got more than a few tricks up his sleeve. Same goes for Boney, he may not be Human but he's still the fastest in most battles and can still kick the butt of any Chimeras the party faces.

Evil Tower of Ominousness
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_65163c3a
comment
Evil Tower of Ominousness: Two, actually: Thunder Tower (A.K.A. The Tower of Love and Peace) and the Empire Porky Building. The Empire Porky Building has some interesting floors, and can be considered a Big Labyrinthine Building once you reach them: The Fan Room. There are no enemies here, unlike the other dungeon floors, but some of the dialogue from the NPC's here may make some players feel squeamish. The quirky, like this game isn't enough, "all-you-can-pee" dungeon floor. Potty Emergencies can happen here from your fellow NPC's, understandably enough that this game, even the series, lampshaded on. The construction zone floor. Why this floor is in the middle of all the other ones is beyond anyone's understanding. Oddly enough, you can sense that this floor has the same kind of symbolic meaning as the title, what with the concrete and lumber and all. The high-tech lab.

Inconsistent Spelling
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_66c725b6
comment
Inconsistent Spelling: Despite being a Japan-only game, there are multiple English names used in the fandom for the same things due to a combination of the 1997-1999 EarthBound 64 coverage, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Clyde Mandelin's translation and attempts by other fans. For example, the Mandelin translation follows the lead of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and uses the proper translation of Porky's name, instead of using the erroneous "Pokey" spelling used in EarthBound's official translation. Also, the debacle about the number of possible translations of Tazmily Village's name, including Tazumili and Tatsumairi. Tazumili was used in the NTSC version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Tatsumairi was the most common interpretation before then. The fan translation went with Tazmily, which comes from both the PAL version of Brawl and a few English sources such as the N64 MOTHER 3 website and Nintendo 64 magazines◊. Some of the names of the characters and places, such as Lucas, Claus, Salsa, Wess, Isaac, and Club Titiboo, were known as Ryuka/Ryukka, Kraus/Klaus, Sarusa, Wes, Yosaku, and the Chichiboo (respectively) in EarthBound 64 materials.

Interface Screw: If you win/leave a battle with one or more party member affected by Feeling Strange, your walking controls will be reversed for a short time. Most battle themes have a "Hard" version that plays later in the game and is very similar to the one you are used to combo with... except for certain sections that accelerate, slowdown or outright stop to ruin your rhythm in the middle of a combo.

Improbable Weapon User: Yo-yos, lumber, banana peels — Duster uses giant staples, a loud insect, a feather, and other "thief tools" to supplement kicking with a crippled leg. Since Boney only gets one relatively weak weapon at the very end of the game, one could argue that his collars are his weapons, since some of them increase offense. Duster's weapons are shoes and he attacks by kicking. His disability is a club foot, yet he is not hindered by his crippled leg because that is how god-tier badass he is.

The Power of Love: PK Love, for starters. The Final Battle definitely counts.

Welcome to Corneria: This being a Mother game, thoroughly averted. One memorable subversion is when you meet a Pigmask that gives Lucas a gift in Chapter 5, saying it's strictly on a "friend basis." If you talk to him again, the same text will show and it'll seem like this is a case of this... But if you pay close attention, it turns out that Lucas, the main character who's been silent for most of the game, is actually the one speaking here, but he says exactly what the Pigmask said back to him.

 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: Done to great effect with the Magypsy mementos. The game gives no indication that they will automatically revive you if you die, and realizing it by yourself can be a Tear Jerker and/or a Heartwarming Moment. There's also no indication anywhere in the game that revisiting Osohe Castle in Chapter 5, to fight an Optional Boss, will yield any kind of reward. Completing the Battle Memory involves fighting the Zombieshroom before eating the mushrooms, even though you'll be guaranteed a Game Over. Fighting him after eating the mushrooms doesn't count. Interestingly, the Zombieshroom becomes skippable after eating the mushrooms...but if you want the Eerie Smile entry, only one particular enemy will give you it. Of course, it's the Zombieshroom. And then the Zombieshroom disappears after you're cured from the mushrooms, so you can't skip it and come back when you actually stand a chance and aren't on a massive drug trip. How to trigger the event flags in Sunflower Fields, which can kind of ruin the impact the chapter for it has. If you just walk to the left, the event flag that triggers Boney won't trigger. You're suppose to zig-zag up and down as you walk instead of walking in a straight line. It's admittedly simple, but it can trip gamers up since it's something that one wouldn't think of, with most likely thinking a Game-Breaking Bug has happened or some form of Copy Protection is taking place. The game is significantly harder if you don't develop a firm grasp of the Sound Battle combo system. And there are 56 battle songs in the game that you need to memorize in order to do so. This can unfortunately come off as impossible for players who have a poor sense of rhythm or tone.

 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_6f619fab
comment
Let's Split Up, Gang!: Not done intentionally, but forces conspire to separate Lucas and Boney from Duster and Kumatora in Chapter 7. They find Kumatora safe with a Magypsy, and Duster ends up with the Mr. Saturns. Which would be fine and dandy if they weren't being attacked by the Pigmasks. This also happens on a small scale when the group need to search for a jar of pickles. They go their separate ways in the immediate area, rather than sticking to the usual All in a Row setup.

Anti Poop-Socking: Mostly done as reminder to save your game. If you play continuously without saving, Leder's bell will be heard and tell you to save and take a break. It takes quite a while to trigger however, and if you save often it is most likely you wouldn't ever get this message.

Trauma Conga Line
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_71e8a5c5
comment
Trauma Conga Line: If you listed all the traumatic things that happen over the course of Lucas's life, you would more or less have a summary of the game's plot. To those who are curious, select the following note and grab a few tissues. note First, his mother gets violently killed right in front of his eyes. As a result, his father almost goes mad from the resulting grief, attacking people from the village and getting chucked into prison before he can even attend her funeral. Shortly afterwards, his older brother, Claus. goes out to try and avenge his mother's death, and goes missing in the process. All in the span of two days. Please note that this is the first time anybody in the society he lives in has experienced grief, so nobody knows how to console or comfort him. Not done yet, though. That very same day, a suspicious guy comes into Tazmily Village, telling everybody a load of waffle about "happiness" and starts peddling objects called "Happy Boxes" to everyone. These boxes essentially hypnotize the entire village, except for Lucas, who refuses to buy one, and as a result, everybody in this previously close-knit and loving community slowly begin turning into selfish, hedonistic jerks. Years later, Lucas is now considered an outcast, even a disgrace, to the village. His father, still grieving over his wife, barely talks with him anymore and spends nearly all of his time searching for Claus, who is still missing. Around this time, his adventure starts. And while he does finally make two very good friends as a result, his situation hardly improves. On top of having to constantly battle against horrifying, bloodthirsty creatures known as Chimeras, he now has an entire army set against him, the same army who was indirectly responsible for his mother's death in the first place. After disabling the army's thunder tower, he finds himself in a field of sunflowers where, out of nowhere, he sees his mother's ghost. He can't touch or communicate her, and ends up chasing her off a cliff in desperation. It's not very clear if this is a dream or actually happening. But wait, there's more. Around this time, he and his friends find out about these weird objects known as the seven needles, which will restore the entire world either full of evil or full of good depending on who pulls them. The journey to getting the seven needles leads him through countless traumatic situations, from being nearly eaten alive by a horrifying monster called the Ultimate Chimera, to accidentally sending himself on a very, very bad hallucinogenic drug trip, but he ultimately only manages to pull half of them. The other half are getting pulled by the commander of the army, known as the Masked Man. Once he and the Masked Man have both pulled three, Tazmily is now completely abandoned, so he has no choice but to finally go to the hub of all the corruption in his world, New Pork City. Once there, he has to live with the long-hidden truth about Tazmily: It was all a lie. The game actually takes place After the End, and Tazmily was set up so the last few dozen people left on Earth could live in ignorance to the world's destruction. After this, the final needle is located, and he and his friends go to pull it, as it is now the world's only hope for redemption. After defeating the Big Bad, he and the Masked Man meet in front of the final needle, ready to battle for it. As it turns out, the Masked Man is actually Claus, brainwashed and with no memory of being Lucas's brother. What follows is an absolutely heartbreaking "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight, during which Claus easily has the upper hand, and with Claus still showing no sign of remembering, his mother's ghost shows up for a second time. With her help, Claus very slowly realizes who he is and takes his mask off. He then kills himself, allowing Lucas to take the needle, and dies in Lucas's arms. Keep in mind that all of this is happening to a likable, mild-mannered boy who hasn't even hit puberty yet.

Not in Front of the Kid: After Flint finds out that Hinawa is dead, he has a Freak Out and starts lashing out at the other villagers around him by assaulting them. Bronson reminds Flint that his sons are watching, but Flint doesn't care. Another villager is kind enough to shield their eyes, and this also spares them the pain of watching Flint get knocked out.

Point of No Return: Getting rid of the vines blocking the sixth needle will prevent you from ever going back to the rest of the game, forcing you to move on with the plot and enter New Pork City, which is separate from the rest of the game. Once you reach the basement of the Empire Porky Building, there's no turning back.

Later-Installment Weirdness: The game is this to the Mother series. Not only do you start off on a rural town on a group of Islands that aren't remotely like a Modern Era continent that resembles America, and the fact that there isn't even a concept of Money in your hometown, the villains aren't aliens from outer space, they're humans who've been corrupted by their own greed and selfishness that are working for the Big Bad in order to industrialize the Islands.. This is the only game in the series in which the Starman enemy and all of its variants don't make an appearance. You don't play as the true main character until Chapter 4, and even then the main party doesn't consist of four kids anymore, but of a Kid, his Dog, and a Thief and Princess who are way older than him (the former an adult and the latter a teenager). Each character who dons the role of the main character for each part of the game are Silent Protagonists, but the game fully acknowledges and shows you that when they're not in that role, they all speak normally like any other NPC and have their own personalities, including main protagonist Lucas. That being said, even while in this role, all of the characters still react to the situations around them and don't just act like a blank slate, such as when Flint lashes out at the villagers after he finds out his wife is dead or when Salsa starts crying because of the abuse Fassad puts him through. This is most notable with Lucas in particular, as his sensitive personality bleeds through his silent exterior during particular (especially emotional) moments of the game despite him being this, completely changing the formula that Ninten and Ness set before him. And lastly, the game deconstructs the Artifact Title that Mother 2 brought to the series, by having Lucas's own Mother be a focal part of the story through her death, and how that event sets the tone of the story and influences the actions of the characters from then on, as well as her role in the Finale. Overall, the world and setting are much more medieval and fantasy inspired than before, deconstructing the series to the point of bringing it back to more traditional Eastern RPG roots like Final Fantasy. Which is to be expected, when you end up deconstructing a game series that is known for deconstructing the RPG Genre to begin with.

And Now for Someone Completely Different
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_7bf14666
comment
And Now for Someone Completely Different: This trope is in effect with the game in general, as it is extremely different from its two predecessors both in its tone and methods of storytelling. You play through the prologue as young Lucas, then the next three chapters are played by four completely different characters (Flint, Duster, Salsa, and Kumatora) before going through the rest of the game as Lucas again. Fortunately, Duster and Kumatora rejoin Lucas permanently later (and Salsa temporarily does the same briefly), so the time spent as them isn't wasted, as they return with the skills and levels they had prior.

Villain World: Porky pretty much achieved this by the timeskip, especially when you get to Chapter 8 and see how wrapped up everyone is with this new world in New Pork City. Despite the efforts of the good hearted people of Tazmily like Lucas and Wess, the world still was industrialized and corrupted for the most part.

Ambiguous Time Period: Takes place on the Nowhere Islands, completely isolated from the broader world. Suggested by Leder's story to be After the End very late in the game, although Porky never actually states the era in relation to the previous game — it could just as easily be Before the Beginning, taking place before recorded history in the MOTHER world.

Vague Age: Lucas is about 12 after the Time Skip, assuming he's around the same age as the other Mother protagonists; Duster is at least in his twenties, but could be much older, and Kumatora is around the middle, possibly around 13 pre-time skip, 16 post. Nobody knows exactly how old Porky is, not even himself. What it is safe to say is that he is Really 700 Years Old

However, Wess never told Duster anything about what he was supposed to steal other than the fact that it was shiny. Wess also failed to tell Duster that said item was magical and was being guarded behind a doorway that can only be opened by performing a specific special dance.

Detachable Doorknob: When the Pigmask Army sets the Sunshine Forest on fire in Chapter 1, Thomas, Tazmily Village's fireman, runs over to Flint's house for help. Since it's the middle of the night, Flint isn't awake, resulting in a desperate Thomas pounding at his front door and tugging at the doorknob, prying it off in the process. This sets up a Running Gag throughout the game where the broken-off doorknob ends up traveling all over the Nowhere Islands through various mishaps.

Seemingly Hopeless Boss Fight: The Final Battle. The fight starts off with your entire party except Lucas being wiped out and you're unable to revive them, and Lucas is unable to attack the Masked Man at all because he can't bring himself to hurt his brother. The Masked Man keeps wailing on Lucas and easily reduces him to Mortal Damage within only a few turns, it's all you can do to Guard against his attacks and try to keep Lucas alive. It isn't until Hinawa's Spirit appears to plead with Claus to remember himself and Flint taking two PK Love Omegas for Lucas that you can finally attack, but the Goal of the fight isn't to fight the Masked Man until he's defeated, you just have to wait until Hinawa's efforts finally break through to Claus and get him to remember who he is, ending the fight.

Superboss: The King Statue can be interacted with in New Pork City to begin an optional fight with it. The statue's stats are so high (its HP alone is 99,999,999) that it'll make quick order of the party regardless of their level, with PSI Flash being the only move that'll kill it without any extra assistance (and even then, it's a gamble). The player is intended to use the New Year's Eve Bomb to reduce its HP to one before taking it out with the next attack. Defeating the boss allows the player to obtain Trivia Card 4 by speaking with the man next to the statue's pedestal.

Reality Is Unrealistic: At one point, you find a frog in a desert, which seems kind of odd. A nearby sign invokes this trope though, by telling the player that there are frogs that do live in the desert. Later, there is a similar situation with an underground dungeon built by moles (actually mole crickets, but the trope still applies).

What Happened to the Mouse?: The Egg of Light, which you spend several chapters chasing and is set up as an incredibly powerful artifact that could stop the Pigmasks. You get it back...and it's never mentioned again. The only time it's mentioned is when Leder explains what it is, but even then you never end up doing anything with it.

Psychic Powers
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_874176be
comment
Psychic Powers: Being a staple of the Mother games, this is a given with the Protagonists. This time around the Psychics are Lucas and Kumatora. The Magypsies and the Masked Man/Claus also apply. Interestingly enough, the latter implies that perhaps PSI may be genetic, given his connection to Lucas. The connection between Ninten being Psychic and his grandfather stealing the secrets of PSI from aliens from the first game could also hint at this, depending on where in the timeline you believe Mother 3 takes place in. The menu for PSI also includes: Telepathy: Kumatora seems to be adept at doing it to communicate with Animals, and Lucas usually does the same to talk to his dog Boney and the other animals he meets. Telekinesis: Several subtypes show up in combat, including pyrokinesis (PSI Fire), cryokinesis (PSI Freeze), fulgurkinesis (PSI Thunder), and psychic healing, as well as less easily defined attacks such as Lucas's signature move or PK Starstorm. Psychic Barriers: Can be used to deflect or even reflect both physical and psychic attacks.

Joke Item: Lucas and Kumatora both can get the Fake Bat and Fake Frying Pan respectively, as nods to them being the successors of Ninten and Ana and Ness and Paula, due their roles as The Hero and The Smurfette who are the Combat Medic and Black Mage respectively. They even change their instrument sounds when they attack in battle, Lucas's becomes a Wooden Block, and Kumatoras' a Jaw Harp. However, these weapons are weak compared to what you should be equipped and are so expensive that it's not worth wasting your DP and inventory over. The doorknob.

Skippable Boss: After the Time Skip, Mr. Passion, the first boss of Chapter 2, returns as the considerably stronger Lord Passion, in the same spot as before. On the other hand, Osohe Castle is completely optional to explore aside for a small section in Chapter 7, with everything seemingly looking the same way it did by the end of Chapter 3, and there are no hints that Lord Passion even exists. Defeating him will allow Duster to get one of his strongest weapons, but he can only be fought in Chapter 5 as Duster loses access to the Rope Snake afterwards.

Debug Room: Only accessible with Codes, the Debug Room has many NPC's (even NPC's of formerly playable characters) that you can talk to to mess around with all the stuff in the game. You can manipulate your party to be whatever of the 7 playable characters you want, along with Guest Star Party Members, have up to 5 people in your party (though, if all 5 of those people are Playable characters, only the first 4 will show up in battle), start any chapter of the game and start at any point of each Chapter, manipulate your levels, and look through all outro and intro effects, even ones that are unused in the final game.

However, the first game and the second are also a Two-Part Trilogy, in terms of the setting and being an Affectionate Parody of Dragon Quest. Plus, some enemies from EarthBound Beginnings make an appearance in Mother 3 after not appearing in EarthBound

Laser-Guided Karma: Fassad treats Salsa the monkey like a personal slave, constantly insults him, and abuses him with an electric shock collar at every given opportunity no matter how well he carries out Fassad's orders and also threatens to have his girlfriend Samba killed if he refuses to obey him. Fassad gets what he deserves by falling 10,000 feet from slipping on a banana peel, being revived as a human/machine hybrid, and being killed off for good in the sewers of New Pork City. Exploring the Empire Porky Building shows evidence that that Fassad was Locria, the otherwise unseen seventh Magypsy and keeper of the final needle, essentially marking them as a traitor.

Apocalypse How
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_91e894b4
comment
Apocalypse How: A conversation with Leder near the end of the game reveals that, the entire time, Mother 3 was set in a post-apocalyptic world. Leder only gives subtle hints as to the nature of it, but from what can be gathered, much of the world was rendered uninhabitable by use of weapons of mass destruction. The survivors of this crisis fled overseas in a "white ship" and settled in the Nowhere Islands, which alone were the only landmasses to survive this apocalyptic event. The crisis was so unbelievably horrific that the villagers willingly had their own memories erased of life before the islands so that such an event could never be repeated.

Arc Number: The number 7. There are technically 7 characters that the player can control in battle in the game.note Lucas, Flint, Claus, Boney, Salsa, Duster and Kumatora. There are Duster's Almost 7 Thief Tools, the 7 Magypsies, 7 full-length Chapters, and the 7 Needles keeping the Dragon underneath the islands asleep.

Mook Chivalry: Near the end, you fight ten Mecha-Porkies, but only three of them are onscreen at any one time, in part due to the game engine's limitations. This is also done a couple other times, such as the fight against the four zombies. If you get enough enemies in the same spot, you'll only fight three at a time as well (this is easiest in the room in Thunder Tower with the five or six Whatevers).

Prolonged Prologue
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_967fb42a
comment
Prolonged Prologue: While everyone considers this to be a great game throughout, about the only thing people will admit this game has a major flaw is the prologue is a bit long. From a story perspective, it's needed to setup for the plot. However, this causes the gameplay to suffer a bit, as you end up getting bounced between three different characters with different fighting styles and reset back to level one each time, while the enemies continue to get harder regardless. Even those that think this is the peak of the Mother series will admit that they had trouble making it past the first three chapters because of how annoying it gets. Naturally though, it gets way better once you get past them.

Never My Fault: Wess calls Duster a moron and belittles him for bringing Osohe's Noble Spitoon instead of what he was supposed to steal. However, Wess never told Duster anything about what he was supposed to steal other than the fact that it was shiny. Wess also failed to tell Duster that said item was magical and was being guarded behind a doorway that can only be opened by performing a specific special dance. Fassad says that Lucas and co. pushed him off the top of Thunder Tower despite the fact that the fall was caused by his own careless habit of eating Luxury Bananas and then tossing away the peel without bothering to see where it has fallen.

Dead Character Walking: Literally, since the characters walk one after another, they are still able to walk around, but their sprite looks excessively tired. Also, you're prevented from running so long as any of your party members are downed, which, naturally, can be problematic if you're caught in the middle of a dungeon, surrounded by enemies and without a way of reviving them.

Fortunately, there's a conveniently placed statue holding a large iron ball. Dash into it, and it'll drop the ball, which crashes through the floor. Dash into it from the right, and it'll drop the ball, which crashes through you.

Interface Spoiler: Of a sort. When an enemy tries to steal something, but fails, the message is "In the confusion, [enemy] tried to steal an item, [beat] but failed!" Obviously, the beat is there to add a bit of suspense. One problem: when an enemy successfully steals an item, the message is different: "In the confusion, [enemy] stole [a/an/some] [item]!" which makes the "suspenseful" beat pointless since you already know it didn't succeed.

Having thus dishonored its ancestors, it changes its name to Snake Rope and mopes.

Same goes for Flint and Hinawa.

Continuity Nod: Both of the previous games in the series are repeatedly referenced, most notably on the boat ride in New Pork City. Also, of course, the fact that the theater in New Pork City plays a film consisting of the important moments from EarthBound. There are also three residents of Tazmily who look like Jeff, Paula, and Picky. In the Chimera Laboratory, you can find the book "Overcoming Shyness" and, of course, the hilarious magazine excerpt from the $7,500 hovel in Onett. Dr. Andonuts is first found in the Chimera Laboratory hiding in a trashcan, much like how Lloyd was first met on the rooftop of Twinkle Elementary. One of the Saturns in Saturn Valley sells Strawberry Tofu (which was previously localized as Trout Yogurt). Porky's room in Thunder Tower has a few too. The Teddy Bears that were NPC party members in EarthBound ("You almost feel like it could take your place for you"), and a jukebox that plays the shop and hotel themes from EarthBound. And, on a sadder note:

Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: One odd example when Claus visits his father, Flint, in prison. After eavesdropping on Fassad and seeing him take Butch's money from the well, try leaving the area or heading towards him instead of heading back to the inn. Que angry shouting punctuated with Electric Torture.

Infinity +1 Sword: The Mystical Stick for Lucas, Mystical Gloves for Kumatora, and Mystical Shoes for Duster, all granting bonuses to HP, PP, IQ and Speed along with Offense. With the exception to the Mystical Shoes, which are obtained from beating Lord Passion, they have a low drop rate from enemies in chapter 7. The Awesome Equipment, meant for Lucas. The Cloak (lowers fire and ice damage) is a rare drop from the Pigmask Colonels, the Crown (halves the chance of Forgetful status) is guarded by an optional boss and the Ring (increases PP by 30) has to be stolen by luring the Ultimate Chimera away.

Fight Woosh: Like EarthBound before it, it comes in three colors depending on how you start the battle. The blue woosh means that the battle will go on as normal. Sneak up behind an enemy to get a green woosh and surprise attack. Red wooshes are when the enemy sneaks up behind you and gets a surprise attack on you! The blue woosh is also used for Boss Battles, but with a different, more dramatic tune.

In Their Own Image: If the Big Bad had his way, the world would be recreated as a world of nothing, essentially. This is due to Claus, remade into a chimera and Porky's puppet as the Masked Man, being so brainwashed that when the Magypsies try to determine what kind of heart he has they simply see nothing there. The Big Bad is aware of this fact, and welcomes it.

Near-Villain Victory: Chapter 8 is basically a race against time between Lucas and Porky for who can find and pull the last Needle that'll determine if the world is destroyed or reborn. The Masked Man reaches the Final Needle first, and Lucas nearly dies against the Masked Man because he can't bring himself to attack his brother. Thankfully, Hinawa gets Claus to remember who he is, leaving Lucas to pull the last needle.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: King P invites and takes you to New Pork City, the location of the final needle. A bit later, he drops you down to the underground area containing it. Had he not done either of those things, he would probably have had the final needle all to himself. It's almost as if he wanted to lose. For some strange reason, instead of pulling the Last Needle when he gets there before your party, the Masked Man just kneels there until you show up.

Face–Heel Turn
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_af3ea0e3
comment
Face–Heel Turn: Though the actual turn isn't seen in-game, it is suddenly made clear that Fassad may have once been Locria, one of the seven Magypsies, and secretly allied himself with the Pigmask Army. Later, it's revealed that Claus has one of these, although this was against his will. And then there's Dr. Andonuts from the previous game, though that was also against his will and he gets his revenge in the end. Isaac becomes a Pigmask in Chapter 8. Although he doesn't do anything evil, he says he'd have to be your enemy if you did anything to oppose Porky.

Abusive Parents: Old Man Wess constantly berates Duster, calls him "moron" more often than his real name, and it's strongly implied he's the reason Duster walks with a limp. When the party is hallucinating on Tanetane Island, Lucas gets a vision of his father threatening to beat him. It's fairly unlikely that this has actually happened to him in real life, but it's apparently something he's deeply afraid of.

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: Master Eddy, and the Almost-Mecha Lion. Defeating the latter is extremely difficult, considering you've (most likely) only got two party members. If you do, all that happens is it gets back up in the cutscene afterwards. You do get a nice pile of experience, though, so it's not totally pointless to try to win.

"End of the World" Special: The entire journey of Mother 3, or late into the game in Chapter 7, is to see who will pull the majority of the 7 Needles sealing the Dark Dragon, allowing that person's heart to influence how the world will be recreated. In the end, the Needles are all pulled and the world is destroyed, but since Lucas pulls the majority of the Needles, the ending implies that the world is recreated in such a fashion that everyone is still happy and it was for the better.

Amplified Animal Aptitude: Boney is extremely competent in battle, spends a good portion of Chapter 4 walking on two legs to fool guards into thinking he's a person (though it does wear him out some), and it's implied that he can understand human speech. Good dog! Although, in Chapters 5 and 7, he doesn't bother donning an entire Pigmask outfit — yet somehow wearing just a mask manages to fool the real Pigmasks.

Money Spider: Enemies don't specifically drop money, but money gets deposited into your bank that you can extract through Save Frogs from Chapter 4 on. But this is purely aesthetic, money does get deposited into your account because you defeat the enemies.

Boss Bonanza
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_bc0f0e23
comment
Boss Bonanza: Chapter 8 only featured one small dungeon, the New Pork City Sewers, the Empire Porky Building and its basement, and bosses sprinkled throughout. First off is Miracle Fassad in the sewers. After him, there's a superboss, the King Statue, that can be fought in New Pork City itself. After completing the games to see if Lucas is worthy enough to meet Porky, the Natural Killer Cyborg is fought. After a Call-Back to the previous two games, the Mecha-Porky bots are fought. Porky then reveals himself and sends Lucas, his party, and Flint to the basement, where there's a short stretch of enemies leading up to the Final Boss: Porky Minch himself. After beating him, the Post-Final Boss, the rematch with the Masked Man, is available.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Possibly. In the ending, through the Dark Dragon the impossible happens, and everyone is all together. Good, evil and neutral. Everyone is together, and happy. Glowing with a mystical purple aura of the dragon in a strange dark void. Even Lucas and Claus are reunited at least for the role-call. Beyond this, though, absolutely nothing is shown of wherever the cast of characters may have ended up.

Outside-the-Box Tactic: See Sheathe Your Sword below. Lucas will not strike down the Masked Man after he learns that it is his own brother, Claus, turned into a chimera and enslaved to Porky's will. There are only two ways to defeat the King Statue: PK Flash (chance of instant death) or the New Year's Eve bomb, which reduces an enemy's health to one and doesn't work on any other boss. The Barrier Trio's secret weakness. Using Defense Down or the Tickle Stick on them will cause them to repeatedly use Defense Up Omega, only stopping to perform Barrier Poses.

Musical Spoiler: Amongst the many, many things foreshadowing that the Masked Man is Claus, one of them is that his attacks in Chapter 7 use the same "attack riff" as Claus's attacks from the prologue. When Fassad returns with his new "horns", they're squeaking out the sax part of the Magypsy theme. Similarly, if there's any doubt that Lucky, DCMC's bassist is actually Duster, you may recall that his attack riff is a bassline.

Shout-Out
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The Unwelcome Gust enemy is clearly based off the Cyclown enemy from Dragon Quest, which the first two games are an Affectionate Parody of. Mr. Batty's Theme. Wanted! My Generation! It's a poster for a concert. Someone put this up. But.......who? The Magypsies' theme songs sound very similar to Graduation (Friends Forever) by Vitamin C. In Chapter 2, if you talk to one of the Pigs, he'll say "Oink-Oink-Oink-Oink-Oink-Oink-Oinka-Oink! (My Rendition of a Battle Fanfare.)" Sounds similar to a certain famous victory fanfare, wouldn't you say? The Carpet Monster (or at least what we can see of it) looks like a certain "One who hides under your stairs." Bud and Lou, who are always practicing their comedy routines. As in EarthBound, there are various musical references: for example, two enemies are named Rock Lobster (after a song by The B-52s) and Gently Weeping Guitar. Lucas and Claus are named for the twins (Lucas and Claus) in [[The Book of Lies. The Masked Man is dressed up like a rebel pilot with a bomber jacket. He's even got a lightsaber. Mato has recently confirmed that the name Slitherhen for the early chapter 4 chimera is actually influenced by a certain Hogwarts house. Itoi has confirmed that the prevalence of chimeras in the game was inspired by Sid from Toy Story, where a child with a twisted mind reassembles toys into grotesque shapes. The DCMC take their name from a combination of Australian Hard Rock group AC/DC and American Rap Rock group Run–D.M.C.. The elusive Soot Dumplings are almost straight out of My Neighbor Totoro (whose Japanese voice cast included Itoi as the father). Sand Lizards evoke the second-to-last bit of Rhapsody In Blue when they inflict a SMAAASH! hit. The Chimera Lab segment is based on the Distant Future chapter of Live A Live, with the Ultimate Chimera taking the role of the Behemoth while Lucas and Salsa share the role of Cube. Doubles as a Production Throwback; Nobuyuki Inoue, the director of Mother 3, was also the lead battle and scenario director of Live a Live.

Elemental Tiers
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_c88c3c0f
comment
Elemental Tiers: Elemental attacks have different areas of effect. Freeze is a single-target, Fire hits every enemy but does less damage, and Thunder targets a random enemy, but bypasses PSI Counters and PSI Shields unlike the other PSI attacks. So if you're fighting multiple enemies that are weak to Fire or Ice but have Shields, you'll want to use Thunder if you don't have the Shield Snatcher, and if you have enemies without Shields, Fire is your better option for clearing out enemies quicker.

Deus Exit Machina: In Chapter 4, when Violet (Kumatora) makes Lucas and Boney go through the attic, one of the most difficult areas in the game, by themselves to avoid conflict with the guards. The worst part? A few sniffs from Boney will reveal that nearly everything in there, including the Jealous Bass, is weak to Kumatora's PK Fire.

Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Deftly subverted. Throughout the entire game, we have no indication as to what the Big Bad looks like, other than the fact that he's Porky from the previous game. Come the final chapter, and we're taken to New Pork City, and his face is absolutely everywhere. He still looks exactly the same as he always did, like a less-than-intelligent but still normal pre-teen kid. Then, you confront him, and this is actually the case; he hasn't changed a bit since the final battle with Ness. Psych! Actually a Doombot! Turns out, Porky has changed appearance since his blond bowlcutted days. Oh boy, has he changed...

Take Your Time: When you hit Chapter 7, even after you find out that you're in a race against time against the Pigmask Army to pull the Needles before they do to save the world, and you know that they've already pulled 1 and need only 3 more to win, you can still take your time and go to each spot at your own pace. Nothing really starts until you get there, nor does the order of which needle you go after first really matter. It'll still take the Pigmasks all the time it takes for you to beat the Boss of the area before they arrive there and swipe the Needle from right under your feet, or vice versa with the party.

comment
Developer's Foresight: This game is full of it if you know where to look. During the forest fire, after you save Fuel from the burning house, both of you will be covered in soot. If you choose to take a dip in the hot springs, you'll be cleaned off from the neck down once you get out. After Hinawa's funeral, but before Flint sets out to rescue Claus, if you go down past Scamp's house to where the Pigs are, you'll find Fassad who's about to go and start talking to the Village about the concept of money. Makes sense continuity wise, granted that he arrives in the village and introduces money the very same day. After going through the dark cave in Chapter 1 with Alec (shortly before you fight the Drago that killed Hinawa), you can climb up a ladder and startle two Pigmasks, who scramble down the cliff and retreat into their saucer... or you can avoid them entirely. If you do, a cutscene will play as you leave the area, showing the saucer taking off normally, unaware of your characters. The flowers at Hinawa's grave change with every chapter. When you start Chapter 2, chests that were already opened remain open and empty. As you make your way to the graveyard in Chapter 2, you meet a certain guy in a turban with a monkey. After the encounter, if you visit the Yado Inn, the second room in the hallway (the one with the frog), cannot to be entered. In Chapter 2, if you talk to Pusher on you way back to the castle with Wess, he mentions plans on building an old folks home. The first time you meet Kumatora, she attacks you with PK Freeze. After she joins your party, the exact amount of PP used from the attack has been deducted (which can also be explained by the pendant she dropped also adding on the same amount of PP). An amnesic Duster is dubbed Lucky at a point in the game. If you named him Lucky, the nickname will be changed to Gorgeous. Likewise, Kumatora goes undercover and briefly takes up the name Violet. If you named her Violet, the name will be changed to Kumatora. Early in Chapter 2, Wess tells you to check behind the house to find a Thunder Bomb. If you check behind the house in later chapters, even after the timeskip and Wess's house was torn down and a senior citizen's home was built where his house stood, you can still find Thunder Bombs. They re-appear every time you go to the crossroads and back. There's a newspaper in a nursing home that the player will likely never check more than once, but its contents change with each new chapter, sometimes more often. Prior to Chapter 4, one of the gravestones in the cemetery says it's reserved. If you check it again after the three-year skip, you'll find that Scamp is buried there. Checking the scenery in his house will refer to Scamp in the past tense. When fighting New Fassad, if you were to attempt using Kumatora's PSI Magnet she can steal PP from him, despite him not using any PSI for the entire battle. This is because he actually is a PSI user, the traitorous Magypsy Locria. If you need to heal by hot spring in Tanetane Island while in Mushroom Samba mode, Boney will opt out of it. When you meet the Magypsy of the island, Mixolydia, after healing there, she will comment on how you stink. Rely only on Lifeup, Items, and the shrooms at the entrance to heal yourself without the hot spring, and she won't say this. Pass by that area outside the influence of the shrooms and you'll see why... that's a sludge pool, not a hot spring! Remember the locked rooms in the Toilet Dungeon? Remember the one with water leaking outside? If you use a walk through wall code when you're in a room next to it, you can enter and see the flooded room, entirely programmed! When Lucas and his friends travel to Thunder Tower by commandeering the Pigmasks' "Pork Bean" hovercraft, the Pork Bean will crash at a predetermined point, leaving the player without a method of quickly traveling back to that area once they return to Tazmily. However: if you return to the hangar under the cemetery after the group travels to Saturn Valley, you'll find that the Mr. Saturns have left a new Pork Bean for the group as a gift—built to look like a Mr. Saturn instead of a Pigmask.

Dreadful Musician: When you come across Mr. Passion in Chapter 2 while storming Osohe Castle, the first thing you hear is a strange static noise that sounds nothing like music and the whole room and items in it shaking violently. He says that he is playing a Beethoveen piece, but his attempt sounds nothing like anything of the sort of piece he's trying to construct.

The End of the World as We Know It

comment
Again with Nana later on in chapter 2. If you talk to her after getting Wess to accompany Duster, she'll comment that she finds it strange that none of the people in Tazmily Village take after their relatives in terms of appearance which hints at the fact that the few people who arrived at the Nowhere Islands after having survived the end of the world built Tazmily Village and erased all their memories of the previous world, essentially taking up new identities with made up pasts and believing that they hald always lived in peace and harmony with each other, in hopes of preventing themselves from destroying what little was left from the world.

Nature vs. Technology
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_e174e266
comment
Nature vs. Technology: A major theme of the game involves the conflict between the more nature-leaning heroes who come from Tazmily Village, a town that initially lived in harmony alongside nature without much development, and the more technology-leaning villains, the Pigmasks who modify nature to not only create modern technology but also change the animals of the land into chimeras fit to their views. Narratively, the game starts out very nature-settled especially in Chapter 1 where technology is only somewhat influential but starting in Chapter 4, it moves away into technological landscapes transitioning with an in-between state, finalizing with Chapter 8 taking place entirely in the technologically advanced New Pork City. The logo itself reflects this dichotomy as it is made out of wood, but is shown covered in metal reflecting the transition of the game, at the end of the game after Lucas pulls the last needle the logo is shown covered entirely in wood, implying that nature won in the end thanks to Luca's wish.

Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Rope Snake invokes this on himself after failing to hold onto the Masked Man's helicopter twice. He rechristens himself "Snake Rope", implying he's more of a snake than he is a rope, and spends the rest of the game moping. Otherwise, it's entirely averted — the dragos are some of first creatures you see, and they are entirely friendly, save one-man influenced exception.

Creepy Gas-Station Attendant: In the middle of the desert, in a parking lot next to the road, there is a clearly extremely dilapidated and run-down building with cracked windows and worn-out paint. Inside, it is quite possibly the nastiest, filthiest restaurant of all time. The floors are extremely covered with dirt and mold, there's somehow still a ceiling fan, the walls are heavily cracked, all of the chairs (along with the pool table) are busted. Even the jukebox has rotten anchovies inside it. There is one woman still "working" at this horrifically decaying "restaurant" (at least, standing behind the counter). There is also a built-in bathroom. "Don't run inside. You'll kick up the mold spores."

Turns Red: Inverted with the Pork Tank. Once its health gets low, it breaks down, disabling its hard-hitting attacks and forcing the Pigmask piloting the tank to throw cannonballs at you. It'll still occasionally try to shoot its cannon at you... and have it jam every time. If you take out the Jealous Bass' cronies before defeating it, it will get angry and increase his attack power. Li'l Miss Marshmallow goes into "Ultra Ticked-Off Mode" halfway through the fight with her. She is suddenly armed with a large drill. Near the end of the second fight with Fassad, his extra musical horns are destroyed, which angers him and causes him to start throwing out Omega-level PSI attacks

At the start of Chapter 7, if you talk to the people in Tazmily, you'll find they're all talking about "New Pork" and "the Big City", and all of them are heavily considering leaving Tazmily to move there. When you hit Chapter 8 you'll find out that they were talking about New Pork City, the Ultimate Hub of corruption on the Nowhere Islands created by Porky, and the location of the Final Needle.

Fake Difficulty: Mildly. For almost every random battle music (and even some boss battle music) with regular beats (for the purpose of combos), there's a remix where the beginning sounds the same, but partway through the music there is sped up/slowed down/skipped in almost random places just to trip you up.

Damage Over Time
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_e50fa775
comment
Damage Over Time: Whenever a character receives damage or healing, their Life Meter rolls down or up to the new value over time (rather than instantly), and the rolling can be slowed down by Guarding in order to give your party more time to heal the wounded member. Side effects like Critical Existence Failure do not trigger based on the raw damage a character has received, but the value that's currently shown on their meter instead. When a fight ends, the rolling stops, regardless of what value it was progressing toward. There's more traditional examples that exist as well, with status ailments like poison, which simply deal steady HP damage each turn (or while walking around the overworld).

Suspiciously Specific Denial: Uttered by Lucas after Hinawa's funeral. The narration at the end of Chapter 1 questions the whereabouts of Claus... when he's actually lying face down on the ground, having fallen from the Plateau after trying to engage the Drago. From the looks of it, he could either be unconscious but badly injured, or he could be flat out dead. Considering how he's only 9 years old, it's most likely that he's dead. Except for the fact that he was turned into Porky's slave before he died. Right, and Wess' door opening dance in Osohe Castle didn't involve him sticking his butt out or anything.

Press X to Not Die: In Chapter 4 when going through the Railway, if Lucas proceeds to run straight along on the train tracks, a train will come rushing by on the tracks, and you're given the choice to dodge the train in any direction on the D-pad. Failing to move out of the way in time won't result in a game over however, but rather sends you flying across the screen and ends up with you landing back in Tazmily Village where you started, with a Mr. T lookalike mentioning how he had warned you to watch out for trains before and even calling you "Squashed Flat Man." In Chapter 3, there is also some quick-time event sequences where Salsa must follow the correct instructions. Missing them won't result in your character dying, but rather getting shocked until you get them right.

Useless Item: The New Years' Eve Rocket. Sure, it works on the Porky Statue, but it only works on that one enemy, if you try to use it on other enemies/bosses it always turns out to be a dud. Granted, if you could use it on other bosses, you could seriously derail the difficulty and emotional impact of the following fights (or potentially break the game in one case), such as the Final Boss Porky and Post-Final Boss Masked Man/Claus.

comment
The Empire Porky Building has some interesting floors, and can be considered a Big Labyrinthine Building once you reach them: The Fan Room. There are no enemies here, unlike the other dungeon floors, but some of the dialogue from the NPC's here may make some players feel squeamish. The quirky, like this game isn't enough, "all-you-can-pee" dungeon floor. Potty Emergencies can happen here from your fellow NPC's, understandably enough that this game, even the series, lampshaded on. The construction zone floor. Why this floor is in the middle of all the other ones is beyond anyone's understanding. Oddly enough, you can sense that this floor has the same kind of symbolic meaning as the title, what with the concrete and lumber and all. The high-tech lab.

Decomposite Character: Both of the last two bosses take different elements from Giygas, both in terms of story and gameplay. Porky Minch inherits his status as the Big Bad and as an alien (albeit one through time rather than space) along with his inability to be conventionally defeated and incomprehensible attacks. The Masked Man gets his personal connection to the protagonist, a buried longing for maternal love, and a more defensive battle that requires using said maternal love to end the fight.

Creepy Child: The Masked Man is about twelve. Played with in the case of Porky: He's physically thousands of years old, but still has the mental age of a bratty child.

Dark Reprise: The best songs from the first two games, and light reprises later. A minor-key version of the new party member theme plays when Fassad joins Salsa. A slower descending variation of the key item theme plays when the party finds an item they had hoped not to find — most prevalent with the Happy Boxes in Chapter 3.

Stone Wall: Deconstructed with the "Absolutely Safe Capsule"; nothing can hurt the person inside, yet the one inside can't hurt anything outside. Porky encasing himself in it results in the battle ending prematurely, as he's unable to hold back the heroes any longer while trapped in the Capsule.

Multi-Gendered Outfit: The six Magypsies are genderless snail people, resembling affectionate stereotypes of Camp Gay bearded drag queens. Most of their clothing leans heavily femme, but Doria dresses like a lavender leatherman with suspenders and heels, while Lydia looks more Shakespearean with a ruff or boa. They all guard the Seven Needles with their lives, and each one passes on a Tragic Keepsake to Lucas's party in the form of a razor paired with a tube of lipstick.

Mushroom Samba
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_f7d4f121
comment
Mushroom Samba: Mixed in with some horror. After washing ashore on an island, your starving party is forced to eat some mushrooms. This results in a very bad trip. On the way to sobriety, you can look inside some mailboxes, which are not really there, and find things like "expanding darkness", "an image of yourself, crying", a rotten plate of your most cherished meal made by your mother, and you see images of your friends and family who insult and threaten you. Designer and Mother series mastermind Shigesato Itoi described this as his worst fear, and had to tone down the original script for this area because he was scared to read it.

The Zombieshroom at the beginning of Tanetane Island isn't the usual "you'd better be leveled up" variety — after the previous cutscene, everyone in the part is at 1 HP, 0 PP, and lost all their items, so the unavoidable Zombieshroom fight ensures you heal up with those funky shrooms. Weirdly, once you do eat the shrooms, the battle becomes skippable.

Barrier Change Boss: As the name may suggest, the Barrier Trio, upon striking their Barrier Pose, turns invulnerable to all forms of PSI, barring one element. Aside from which member of the trio calls the pose, there's no indication what they're vulnerable to until you have Boney sniff it out. They're still vulnerable to physical attacks, though this is mitigated by their defense stat.

Sequence Breaking
 Mother 3 (Video Game) / int_fb111d49
comment
Sequence Breaking: After Aeolia's Needle is pulled, you can go after the rest of the Needles in any order you wish to, except for Ionia's which is saved for last (though the game does recommend pulling them in the following order: Doria, Lydia, Phrygia and Mixolydia's), which may make things a hell of a lot easier since you will have a full party by the time you get the needles other than the Chimera Lab, as you need to clear that to get Kumatora back on your team. Only real problem is trekking back to Saturn Valley because the Coffee Table that you use to ride will be gone when you go there the first time if you plan on getting Duster right after Aeolia's needle. Beware that trying to go through the Mole Cricket's tunnels before pulling Doria's Needle will render you unable to complete the Battle Memory, as The Squeekz will not spawn, and, thus, you won't get to fight him.

Hopeless Boss Fight: The Zombieshroom, if you try to fight it without eating the funky shrooms on Tanetane Island (although, this is necessary to do to complete the Battle Memory). The entire party will have 1 HP and 0 PP each with no other way to restore themselves, guaranteeing they will be KO'd on its first turn. If you cheat to beat it without the funky shrooms, after the fight you'll just be standing in front of it again.

One-Winged Angel: Despite the fact that enemies and bosses can have two different sprites, there are only two actual examples: Li'l Miss Marshmallow and Miracle Fassad. The former simply activates an alternate form at half health which includes pincers and drills. The latter is a little more complicated. After dealing with what seems to be a powered up version of New Fassad, halfway through the fight, he reverts to New Fassad. Backed into a corner, he suddenly stops with physical attacks and reveals that he can also use PSI, at which point he spams it, save for the occasional Luxury Banana.

comment
But Not Too Challenging: At one point in The Empire Porky Building, the player has to play three games against Master Mini-Porky, a robotic copy of Porky. In order to progress the player has to lose, but just barely. The reason being is that while Porky is too much of a Sore Loser to accept being beaten, he's also too proud to accept an easy win, meaning that you have to lose by such a small margin that it makes Porky's victory seem more impressive.

Literal Genie: The Absolutely Safe Capsule is a particularly horrifying example. True, it will protect whoever is inside it from absolutely anything, but it will also protect everything else from them. As a result, when Porky crawls into it when he believes his luck is running out, neither he nor the good guys can do any harm to each other. That's not the worst part, though. The worst part is that its safety cannot be compromised. Once it's been sealed shut it will never open again, and since it cannot be destroyed by anything in the universe, whoever is inside it will never get out.

Evil-Detecting Dog: There is a segment in the game where Lucas, Kumatora, and Duster eat some unusual mushrooms while desperate for food. The mushrooms cause them to hallucinate that the monsters in the area are characters from their pasts and are tormenting them with their fears. The party dog, Boney, is the only one not fooled, and whines and barks when hallucinations begin to talk to the characters, attempting to warn the rest of the party as to their true nature. He also refuses to get into a beautiful sauna the party can rest in — if you visit it again after the effects of the mushrooms have worn off, you'll find the humans were deliriously bathing in toxic sludge.

Death Seeker: Implied with Lucas, twice. First time is a little-known dialogue chain from Mr. T" if you try to go down the train tunnel without first talking to Old Man Wess. It's very funny. The second is during Chapter 6, when he sees his mother's ghost walking through a sunflower field. While he tearfully chases after her, in an act of desperation, he ends up pitching himself off a cliff trying to reach her. It's not funny at all.
