"Strange, Funny, Heartrending" Let's Play Mother 3

[CoffeeIncluded]

That's right, I'm doing a Let's Play of Mother 3.

Alrighty, exposition time!

For those of you who don't know, Mother 3 is an RPG, released for the GBA, and is the final installment in the Mother Trilogy. Only the middle installment, Earthbound, made it to the United States. For those of you who played the Smash Brothers series, you might know Ness and Lucas. Ness is the hero of Earthbound and Lucas is the hero of Mother 3. The games start out quirky and funny, and stay that way, but...Well, the final boss of Earthbound was an Eldritch Abomination and the dialogue for that scene was based off of a violent sex scene in a movie that the creator walked in on as a young child, and let's just leave it at that.

Mother 3 was never released outside Japan. However, these guys (http://mother3.fobby.net/) made an amazing fan translation. I'm talking professional quality here.

Also, I should mention that Mother 3 lives up to its tagline, "Strange, Funny, Heartrending." Boy howdy, does it live up to its tagline. I played this game knowing what was coming and I still broke down sobbing at least three times.

So, I'm doing a Lets Play of this fantastic, obscure and vastly underrated game. Please enjoy, and PLEASE no spoilers!

Also, Flint is Mother 3's answer to O-Chul.

So, let's enter this world!

I walked through to the interview room, pencil and paper in hand. Sitting before me in two chairs were an older man and a teenage boy. The older man wore a vest, and a fedora over dark orange hair. The younger boy had a striped shirt, blue jeans, and bright yellow messy hair that ended in a cowlick. The older man was named Flint and the boy was named Lucas. At their feet was a nondescript brown dog named Boney.

Thank you for this interview. The others should be here soon. I suppose we should start from the beginning?

"Yes. That would be for the best," I replied.

Well...I guess the first sign we got was at my grandpa Alec's house...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_20.png

I was sound asleep. My brother Claus woke me up.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_22.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_24.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_25.png

That did it. I hopped out of bed and went downstairs where my mom was eating breakfast.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_27.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_28.png

Oh yeah. I forgot. Didn't care. I wanted to go outside.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_29.png

In retrospect, that probably would have been the better option. In any case, I got dressed and went outside.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_31.png

Grandpa was outside.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_32.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_34.png

And the frogs. They've been showing up recently.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_36.png

But it's so early, Claus! It's barely even noon!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_37.png

Hey! I know how to dash! I've just got to...Uh...Uhm...

Aw, come on! I'm tired!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_38.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_39.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_40.png

Yeah, I still don't know what that was about.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_43.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_44.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_45.png

People say they're fierce, but they're really nice.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_46.png

What do you know. It worked!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_47.png

And then this guy showed up. I don't know why he wanted to fight us, but Claus and I teamed up. Meanie mole cricket.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_50.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_51.png

Thankfully he was only a cricket. I got a bruise when I tripped over a rock though.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_53.png

I feel bad for the cricket, though I later learned that he's alright.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_54.png

I love mom.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_57.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_58.png

I still don't know what he was talking about or who he was talking to.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_60.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_61.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_62.png

Yippee! Dad and Boney and all my friends!

Hinawa sent a message home ahead of her and the kids.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_63.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_64.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_65.png

And then I heard something odd and loud and tinny outside as a shadow appeared...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_66.png

[xp194]

Looks interesting, but the yellow text on the nearly white forum background is nigh on unreadable. May want to fix that.

[Anima]

Interesting LP choice, but you should really rethink your choice of colours. Yellow is nearly impossible to read.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Interesting LP choice, but you should really rethink your choice of colours. Yellow is nearly impossible to read.

Thanks. I fixed it. Since Lucas is the main character, his text will be in the regular black color. When the others are speaking, I'll put their text into colors.

Also, I put the update in spoilers.

Thanks for your support and criticism, guys. :smallsmile:

[Sneak]

Also, I'm pretty sure you mean "heartrending." :smallwink:

Still, this looks interesting.

[Inhuman Bot]

Also, I'm pretty sure you mean "heartrending." :smallwink:

Still, this looks interesting.


Considering it's quite possibly the best game ever, I would hope so. :smallsmile:

[factotum]

Thanks. I fixed it. Since Lucas is the main character, his text will be in the regular black color. When the others are speaking, I'll put their text into colors.


I noticed, though, that the narrator was having an interview with a man and a boy named Lucas...coincidence, or am I misunderstanding something?

[CoffeeIncluded]

I noticed, though, that the narrator was having an interview with a man and a boy named Lucas...coincidence, or am I misunderstanding something?

You're kinda misunderstanding. The Let's Play style is basically Lucas and the rest of the main characters telling their story to a journalist who wants to record what really happened. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

[Tengu_temp]

Mother 3 is one of the best RPGs ever. I'm looking forward to further updates.

[Raroy]

I honestly feel that this is a game that you should play yourself. Good luck, try not to ruin the game.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Thank you!

I honestly feel that this is a game that you should play yourself. Good luck, try not to ruin the game.

I already played this game twice. This is my third run-through.

[Raroy]

What I meant was that everyone should play it themselves.

[CoffeeIncluded]

What I meant was that everyone should play it themselves.

That may be, but not everyone will be able to. Plus a lot of the people looking at this have probably already played the game.

[Coidzor]

I need to start playing again. Got stuck on the Masked Man and was unable to grind enough in the area before him to beat him.

And strategery failed me. :smallfrown:

[Domochevsky]

That may be, but not everyone will be able to. Plus a lot of the people looking at this have probably already played the game.

Not me. So far i was only vaguely aware of the connection between Mother and Earthbound. (I also somehow have Persona in that mix as well... dunno if it's connected too.)

[The Dark Fiddler]

Oh, so that's what all that text says?

See, I just got the game when I was in Japan for nerd cred (=P) so yeah.

[Inhuman Bot]

That may be, but not everyone will be able to. Plus a lot of the people looking at this have probably already played the game.

If they're reading this, probably not. :P

A shame that I can't direct them with PM towards the process to playing this game if they didn't know how to go about it, as it wouldn't be completely legal.

WINK.

[Coidzor]

Not me. So far i was only vaguely aware of the connection between Mother and Earthbound. (I also somehow have Persona in that mix as well... dunno if it's connected too.)

No, Shin Megami Tensei is not connected at all.

[Suzuro]

Man, this was such an amazing game and I completely forgot about it until now.

...Maybe I should play through it again..


-Suzuro

[CoffeeIncluded]

If they're reading this, probably not. :P

A shame that I can't direct them with PM towards the process to playing this game if they didn't know how to go about it, as it wouldn't be completely legal.

Yeah. :smallfrown:


Oh, so that's what all that text says?

See, I just got the game when I was in Japan for nerd cred (=P) so yeah.

Oh, then you'll love this! :smallbiggrin:

Please leave constructive criticism and tell me when I'm being rude, guys.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Thanks for your support, guys. Here's the second part.
===
I knew the gist of what happened that night from the Itoi Report. Flint and Lucas didn't have to tell me.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_03.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_06-1.png

Explosions in the forest, setting fires everywhere.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_08-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_09-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_11.png

Set off by strange men in pig suits.

But what I needed for this report was the in-depth, personal experience. I needed the heart, the perspective, what those mentioned in the Itoi Report did, and what they thought about while doing so.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_13-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/FlintSmiley.png: Lucas was...This part is about me, I'll go this time.

I was taking a nap after tending to the sheep all day. I must have slept longer than I thought, because when Thomas came pounding on the door, it was dark.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_14-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_16-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_17-1.png

I was stumbling out of bed, but that wasn't fast enough for Thomas. I understand.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_18-1.png

Well, if the sheep tried to break into his house on a regular basis, I'm sure he'd lock the door too. You do NOT want to wake up with a sheep staring you in the face, trust me.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_19-1.png

And then the doorknob fell off.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_21-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_22-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_23.png

"You're kidding...Right?"

Immediately my thoughts went to Hinawa, Lucas, and Claus. But they were probably safe, taking shelter in the mountains or the hot springs or something.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_24-1.png

"Here! Flint! I'll show you where it is!"

"I...Uh, I know where the Sunshine Forest is..."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_25-1.png

"I'll think of some things later."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_26.png

Lucas loved to play stickball. Me, when I played with the boys, I preferred a 2x4. But this would do. I hoped I wouldn't have to use it though.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_27-1.png

"I REALLY hope I don't have to, though."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_28-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_29-1.png

Thomas bugged me into getting a map. I'm with Lucas here. I still have no clue what that was about.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_30.png

That's Leder. Really tall, rings the town bell, doesn't speak. Not much else I can say about him.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_32-1.png

I wanted to head right into the forest and try to do...Something, but Jonel can be really pushy when he wants to be. Plus this seemed like a really appropriate time to pray, you know?

Odd, though. I really can't remember what happened there.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_33-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_34-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_36-1.png

Nah, that's just silly.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_37-1.png

"WHAT?!" Oh man, what was I doing praying at a time like this?!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_38-1.png

"What are you talking about? Your cookies are amazing."

Of course, he would only give me three, even though he had bags and bags of them stuffed under his shirt.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_40-1.png

"I know! Out of the way, everybody!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_41-1.png

It was worse than we could have ever imagined.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_42.png

And who were those guys?

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_43-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_44-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_45-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_46-1.png

Oh thank God Lighter wasn't too badly hurt. But what he said about the firestarting flies...No time to think about that though, Fuel was still in the shack!

I grabbed Lighter's 4x4 and hoisted it over my shoulder, but before I could take another step...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_49-1.png

I was able to defeat them, smash them into bits with the lumber, but I got pretty badly singed in the process. Who ever heard of fire-spewing flies? Is that even possible in nature?

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_50-1.png

As things went on, worried turned out to be the least thing to be.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_52-1.png

"FUEL!!! I'm coming to save you!"

I broke the door down, but got attacked by an odd flying mouse. I didn't know mice could fly. But no time to think about that; I had to rescue Fuel!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_53-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_54-1.png

Thankfully he wasn't badly hurt. But as soon as we got outside..."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_55.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_57-1.png

"I'm really sorry about your house...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_58-1.png

I gave him a huge hug. How could I not?

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_59.png

"So was I. What's going on here?"

As we made our way to the other side of the clearing, we saw Lighter. Fuel ran right over.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_62-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_63-1.png

It looked broken. He wouldn't be building houses for a while, that much was certain.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_64-1.png

"Really, guys...It's nothing."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_65-1.png

It would always end with us chasing each other around the yard with fenceposts and anything else heavy.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_66-1.png

Part of me wanted to make a comment. All of me knew that this wasn't the time.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_68.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_69-1.png

Of course, thanks to what Hinawa liked to call the "Theory of Narrative Causalty"...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_70.png

The rain fell hard and didn't look like it would let up for a while.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_71.png

We went back to the Yado Inn where Tessie patched us up.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_73.png

Oh crap, I forgot. They're probably taking shelter, and now that the fire's out.

I went outside to get a breath of fresh air when I saw Isaac.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_75.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_76.png

"...No. I haven't. Have you?"

Isaac fiddled at his had nervously. He seemed like he had something to tell me that I wouldn't want to hear.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_77.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_78.png

"Really? Where is she? And the kids?"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_79.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_80.png

I couldn't help but grin. The mental image of Hinawa, Lucas, and Claus riding through town on the back of a Drago was just too glorious.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_81.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_82.png

Well, that took care of the grin.

I stared at Isaac for a moment that seemed like forever, then somehow managed to mutter, "I...I have to go."

I ran back home as fast as I could.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_83.png

It was the letter from before.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_84.png

"No. Still no Hinawa, still no Lucas, still no Claus..."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_86.png

"Thank you, all of you. I'll be with you in a moment."

I sat at the table, trying to keep my breath even, my thoughts focused, and my dinner in my stomach.
===

So, uh... What do you guys think? This is the first LP I've ever done.

[The Dark Fiddler]

You're doing pretty good so far, Coffee, especially for a plot heavy game like this.

Thoughts:

Flint is Roland? :smalleek:

Leder, if you stand so you can't see his face, looks suspiciously like the Slender Man. Coincidence?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Leder, if you stand so you can't see his face, looks suspiciously like the Slender Man. Coincidence?

Thanks.

And yeah. I figured it was the only appropriate thing to do. I actually got Roland's permission to use his avatar. Thank you!

[sol-decentguy]

I remeber playing through this game when it first came out, and realizing that it was one of the few times I got choked up feeling for the main character an hour into gameplay. This is a game everyone should play.

[Coidzor]

Oh yeah, I was amazed at how much tension I could feel from this part of the game.

[Geno9999]

Whoa. I think I know what happens next and yet...

Great job with the LP so far.:smallsmile:

[Maximum Zersk]

Can I say "Hell yes"?

Hell yes!

Though I still have to finish it myself. I keep getting stuck at the Musical Instruments.

[Lycan 01]

Never played any of the Mother or Homeworld games, but I've heard good things about 'em. I know I'll never get to play them, so this is actually the only real way I'll be able to experience them. And so far, you're doing a good job. :smallbiggrin:

[Coidzor]

Lycan: Well, I don't think we could LP any of the Homeworld games on these boards due to them being... extremely political in nature and dripping with real world subtext. :smalleek:

Though I still have to finish it myself. I keep getting stuck at the Musical Instruments.

Wait, Club Titiboo? :smallconfused:

[Lycan 01]

Earthbound, I mean. Whatever this series is called. How did I come up with Homeworld? Only played HW2 once a couple of years ago at a LAN party. :smallconfused:

[CoffeeIncluded]

Alright, update time! Basically, practically every day this summer I'll upload either this LP or Murphy's Law.

Aaaaaand...Here we go. :smalleek:

IMPORTANT: ONCE YOU GET TO THE FLASHBACK SCENE, PLAY THIS!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idULzIIF950&feature=related) I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!

At this point a man in his thirties with brown hair, a lopsided grin, and a noticeable limp appeared. Lucas broke out into a grin.

"Duster! There you are!"

"Yep. Kumatora and Salsa are coming. So where were we?"

"...That night."

"...Oh."

Boney, our dog. Claus named him. His nose would be invaluable.

Please don't remind me.

"Thank you. Thank you so, so much."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_08-2.png

All of hoped so.

I went to Lighter and Fuel's house, or rather, what remained.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_20-2.png

"<Good luck, little buddy.>"

I went up a little further, between my house and Alec's...

There were claw marks and gouges in the cliffside everywhere. Boney seemed agitated. Lighter then offered to help move the tree, despite his injuries. Bless him.

"Uh...Toothache? Clawache? Splinter? Broken nail?"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_38-2.png

You and me both, pal.

At that point Boney started whining and howling and scratching at the cliff face.

Evidently, he had forgotten Rule One: Never Comment On Wess's Age. Wess would take the time to teach him Rule One later, though.

I went to check the cloth.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_85.png

Stay calm, Flint. Panic will only make things worse. It'll all be okay, she just snagged her dress and the Dragos rescued her and she's nearby and with the kids and it'll all be okay and shiny and happy again ahahaha...

"Hinawa?! Lucas? Claus?"

...But it wasn't.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_87-1.png

They were odd...Things in pig masks, with a machine that had a caribou with bits of metal sticking out of it on it.

It was a horrible nightmare, a perversion of nature. Even Duster went pale, and he doesn't exactly scare easily. Next thing we knew, Boney sank his teeth into whatever wasn't metal and we joined in his attack.

I put the notebook in my pocket with a feeling of horror and revulsion. Duster looked like he was going to be sick. We ran forward, hoping to catch them, but...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_109.png

I don't even know what that was. I went back down with Duster and Boney, when...

"...No thank you...I'll be fine."

Who did you think the person from the prologue was? :smalltongue:

Thank you! And trust me, the music gets better (And oftentimes more heart-wrenching) from here on out. Yes, I will post it for areas and major cutscenes and battles and the like.

Uhm, do you like how I portrayed Duster? I decided to make him a bit of a Cloudcuckoolander (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloudcuckooLander) (TvTropes alert!) What do you think of that idea?

I was tempted to do something like that, but I didn't want to interrupt the scene.

Did I mention that I love multi-quote? :smallbiggrin:

I dunno if I can do an update today. Earlier today I was trying to take the bus home from an intern ship, and to make a long story short, what was supposed to be a 15-minute commute turned into a 3-hour nightmare and I was forced to walk 2-3 miles home in 90-degree weather with a lot of humidity. So I'm going to try to do an update today, but no guarantees. Sorry. :smallfrown:

[CoffeeIncluded]

Okay guys, here's the update!

Boss Battle Music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRNdp6t4oeU)

It took a long time for Flint to find the strength to continue.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_01.png

When I woke up, I was in jail. Bronson was there.

"But why would I...Oh."

Bronson left. I was alone. I had to get out, to Hinawa's funeral. Hinawa...

Then Claus came in.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_14-2.png

"...I know."

He then pushed something through the cell bars.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_19-3.png

As he turned to leave, I saw a glint in his eyes that I had never seen before.

"Claus, wait!"

But he was gone. I took a look at the apple, took a bite, and spat it out in pain.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_23-1.png

And a couple of my teeth.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_24-3.png

I broke out of jail, and the jail broke my file. I went outside.

"...I'm sorry."

I had to apologize to Ollie and Abbot. And I wasn't ready yet.

The next thing I knew, I had pinned one of the magypsies to the wall and held the Drago fang at its throat while I screamed at it.

"Listen here, you androgynous sociopathic affront to my eyes! You tell me where my son is RIGHT NOW, or I'm going to figure out your gender by ripping your genitals out through your nose and force-feeding them to you!!! HAVE I MADE MYSELF CLEAR?!

Uh, guys? Please tell me what you think of this.

Well, that sums up my initial reaction to the Magypsies... haha

[CoffeeIncluded]

Which part? The OH GOD MY EYES part or the TELL ME NOW part?

I'm glad you're enjoying!

[Domochevsky]

"Where could the missing Claus be?"...? Didn't they find him in that alcove right there? He's even on-screen. :smallconfused:

(Also, the clowns... what the hell? This game is all over the place on the silly/serious scale.)

No, they never found the body. When the Mecha-Drago killed him, his body tumbled over the edge of the cliff and Flint and Alec never found him.

Not clowns, Magypsies. Even more disturbing.

And yes. That's the Mother series for you.

Huh. Kinda depressing. They didn't even send out a search party or ten?

They don't say.

[Lycan 01]

Wait, the little boy is dead, too? Awww... :smallfrown:

Why is this game so depressing?! :smalleek:



Good storytelling, Coffee. I like the way you portray the characters, and the little funny comments and stuff you add. I liked the bit with the file and teeth. XD

Poor kid, though. Never even found his body... :smallfrown:

[Coidzor]

Which part? The OH GOD MY EYES part or the TELL ME NOW part?

Both, haha. :smallamused:

[CoffeeIncluded]

Okay, my fan broke and I sent it in to the repair shop. I'm using my dad's computer right now. Here's how it stands:

IF I'M LUCKY: Something got stuck in the fan or a screw came loose or something, they'll be able to fix it easily, and I'll have my computer back by tomorrow or Monday.

IF I'M UNLUCKY: They have to order a new part and I won't get the computer fixed until Saturday evening. Next week.

IF MURPHY'S LAW APPLIES TO MY LIFE YET AGAIN: THAT won't work, I'll have to get a new computer, and I won't be able to update for about a week and a half or even 2 weeks.

[Domochevsky]

...all that because of a fan? You can change those yourself pretty easily. :smallconfused:

[factotum]

...all that because of a fan? You can change those yourself pretty easily. :smallconfused:

On a desktop machine maybe, but this is a laptop (if I remember the thread in Friendly Banter correctly).

[CoffeeIncluded]

So it turned out that the motherboard was damaged. I just got a new laptop and am typing on it as I speak. I'm getting the data from the old laptop transferred over tomorrow.

*snerk* That happened to me before as well. It sucked. <.>

Thank GOD I got all the data back. I know nobody cares about this LP, but I'm going to update for the few who do.

"Hey little monkey. Be nice to your owner, okay? Now get some sleep!"

Then I saw something even stranger.

"So? I'll just polevault over it! AAHHHH!!!"

*SPLASH*

...That didn't work.

Fortunately, there was a tunnel from Nippolyte's shack. I went through it. There were leeches and lobsters in there. I wanted to make them my friends, but the leeches bit me and the lobsters pinched me, so I hit them with my brace.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_22-4.png

Oh brilliant. I don't think I can polevault over that.

Hello!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_24-5.png

When I went inside, there were a lot of ghosts that attacked me. They burped awful smells on me. I felt nauseous. I vomited on them. They ran away and dropped rotten eclairs. I tried one. It was rotten. If I keep eating those then I'll end up a ghost too. Some of the ghosts were nice though.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_25-5.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_26-4.png

After I beat up the ghost inside the armor, I got a great idea...

...But the armor was too big. It kept falling off of me. I was sad.

It took me three hours to figure that one out. I feel stupid now.

Da-da-da-daaa, da-da-daaaaa!

And then in the next room...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_31-3.png

Hot chick! No, wait, she doesn't look older than fifteen, and I'm twenty! Bad Duster, you know the "Half-plus-seven" Rule!

...Gonna be a hot chick!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_32-4.png

"Hey! You dropped this!"

...And she's gone.

Is that hair real, a wig, or did an albino octopus die on your head?


...I shouldn't have said that, should I."

He then proceeded to chuck everything but the kitchen sink at me. No, wait, he really did throw the kitchen sink at me. Look, you can see the scar.

Now I know why I didn't know that was MaryHINAWA! I was thinking of Kumatora!

Still, good update, and glad to see your computer's fine!

Do you like how I characterized Duster?

This has to be the first RPG I've ever seen where you play a different character at each point. Do all these guys ever come back together again, or are they entirely forgotten once their chapter of the story ends?

Flint and Claus don't appear as a PC again, even though they were originally supposed to. :smallfrown:

The others do appear as PCs again though.

[CoffeeIncluded]

For those who care, I'm going to try to update later today.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Even if only 2 people are reading this, I'll still update for those two people.

There's also a video link later in the LP, in the actual content itself. It's hilarious.

At this point a young woman with bright pink hair and a light blue dress walked in. She was holding a monkey.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/ExampleSmiley.png Sorry about that. I had to wake up Salsa carefully. Is it my turn yet?

"Almost, Kumatora. I just got to the part about the spittoon."

Kumatora smirked and then abruptly sat on the couch, motioning for Duster to continue.

We went into the next room as I was wondering what kind of princess would live in an abandoned place like this, when...

She had a knife in her hand and was grimacing in pain. One of her legs was caught in a trap.

"By escort, do you mean--"

"ESCORT!"

"To the Dust Bunny Obliterator! Away!"

Kumatora was amazing in combat. She couldn't really take a hit, but she had this "PK" ability, I guess it's like psychic powers? Anyways, she could freeze stuff and set stuff on fire and she said that she could do even cooler stuff when she got stronger. And when she couldn't use the PK, she punched stuff in the face.

"OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP!!!"

"Gotta get the egg gotta hold onto the egg gotta make dad love me..."

"DUSTER!!!"

All I could think about as the water tossed me about was to hold onto the egg for dear life.

"No, 'cause you call your son a moron."

"We are NOT a couple! If we're a couple, then you're just lugging around that 2x4 instead of using to compensate, so think before you open your yap!"

"Well, then let's go look for him. And if I were you, I'd get an apology in order."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_161-2.png

Easy, Kuma. Deep breaths...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_162-2.png

Ah, yes. There we go.

It was a very good thing that I calmed myself down before I went to the town square, considering the commotion.

I just rolled up my sleeves and grinned at Butch letting him get freaked out for a bit, where Flint and his dog showed up.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_177.png

He was crying earlier. Not anymore, but his eyes were red and his cheeks were still tear-stained. His clothes were torn and bloody.

I just came back from the Drago Plateau. I didn't have time to wash up.

Oh no, I hope Duster's okay. :smallfrown:

Oh no, I hope Duster's okay. :smallfrown:

How far in the game have you gotten?

[Inhuman Bot]

Oh no, I hope Duster's okay. :smallfrown:

Don't get your hopes up. :smallfrown:

[The Dark Fiddler]

How far in the game have you gotten?

Well... I got to the point where Flint was freaking out and I couldn't understand why (cause, you know, Japanese). Been too busy to play more since.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Don't get your hopes up. :smallfrown:

Have you played before?

Well... I got to the point where Flint was freaking out and I couldn't understand why (cause, you know, Japanese). Been too busy to play more since.

Ah, I'm glad that the LP is helping you. It gets sadder from here on out.

[Domochevsky]

What the hell is wrong with that old guy...

"Oh hey, moron! Go out and get me... uh, something out of this dangerous place! No, i won't tell you what it is. Now go!"

Parental abuse much? :smallconfused:

Pretty much. And I heard somewhere that Duster has a crippled leg because of a training accident. :smallfrown:

I'm not 100% sure whether or not this is canon though. Sorry.

[Cute_Riolu]

Hey, now, at least four people read this. :P

[Smiling Knight]

Actually, more like five.

[Cute_Riolu]

See? You've got more than double your first estimate of readers. I say this means you should update 2.5 times as much. :smallbiggrin:

[CoffeeIncluded]

See? You've got more than double your first estimate of readers. I say this means you should update 2.5 times as much. :smallbiggrin:

Maybe. :smalltongue: I'll try to update on Thursday. Do you guys like it? I mean, what do you like about it, if I may ask?

[Cute_Riolu]

Maybe. :smalltongue: I'll try to update on Thursday. Do you guys like it? I mean, what do you like about it, if I may ask?

For one, I like the journalist thing, though it may not be appropriate to interject at all into some more dramatic segments. Also, I like Wess. Because yes. Hey, that rhymed!

[CoffeeIncluded]

Okay, update time!

At this point a small monkey walked hesitantly in. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the skin underneath his fur was criss-crossed with scars from electrical burns. This was obviously Salsa.

You think this game lives up to the tagline, "Strange, Funny, Heartrending," now?

It. Gets. WORSE.

[Domochevsky]

Well, it has yet to live up to the "funny" part, at least. :smallcool:

Did you see the "Wess dancing" clip in Update 6? (I added an index of links in the first post.)

[Domochevsky]

Uh... ok, i admit, that is funny. But Wess himself is a douche. I think that evens out in the overall scheme. >_>

Apparently there was a beta of Kumatora doing the osohe dance, but it got cut out. The sprites are still there though, and by hacking you can get to it. Like so. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KPXtOc06fA&feature=related)

Also, the scene with Kumatora's introduction (And the stupid-ass trap) is funny.

So is the breaking the fourth wall (Try to imagine something called a B Button!). And the sparrows in the game knowingly talk in, "Game lingo".

It's all quirky humor. And yeah, Wess is a big-time jerk. But he does care about Duster in his own way.

Basically the game lives up to the tagline big-time.

<"Yeah, got any more, you big bullies?!">

"Princess! Don't you realize this isn't the time?!"

"We're gonna die either way; I'm not going down without a fight!"

<And that was it. We were doomed, simple as that.

Or not so simple.>

"Morons like him never get sick or hurt" ...unless you specifically arange for it, hm, Wess? :smallannoyed:

He gets points for getting Salsa away from the douche though. (secondary points, that is. The primary points go to Kumatora.)

Did the t-rex outright kill Fassad or just trap him in the tank?

Ah, sorry I didn't catch that.

Mama Drago bullrushed Fassad, knocking him clear out of the screen.

I think we can see here that Wess actually does sorta care for Duster, deep down.

Fun Fact: Fassad's Japanese name is Yokuba. Fassad is an excellent translation, as it A) Fits the "Arabic sheik" look, B) Sounds like Facade, and C) Fassad is Arabic for "Corruption".

Question: at the end of that chapter it said your play time was 7:44. Is that 7 minutes and 44 seconds? Because it doesn't seem very long if that's the case!

Yep. Those guys did a FANTASTIC job.

7 hours, 44 minutes. I took my time playing this.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Hey guys, I have a new update here.


The interview room went quiet for a moment.

"We couldn't do anything. Kuma and Salsa were gone, Wess was an old man, Dad was looking for Claus every day, and I was only ten. Fassad was strong and there were more Pigmasks every day. We couldn't do anything."

The streets were paved.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_18-8.png

Fassad was a beloved member of the community.

Everything was changed. People were more distant. Nearly everyone had a Happy Box now, and other Happy Stuff too. Only my dad and I, and a couple others, didn't.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_24-9.png

Lightning rained down on our house almost every day. I almost got killed a few times.

"I actually went after Fassad with a 4-by-4 that time. Broke the bastard's wrist and a few ribs, but I wound up in jail for the rest of the month. Still worth it."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_41-10.png

It was with a mocking tone now. They all thought my dad was nuts. Even I was starting to think it...

So much for "New and Shiny". It was awful. It made me sick. The Pigmasks shoved off the older people there at first, but then the families started putting their grandparents there too...

I was one of the only people who visited on a regular basis. At least they still liked me.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_56-5.png

Wess wasn't really the same since Duster vanished. He seemed smaller. Kinda like dad.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_58-6.png

"...I don't know what's going on anymore."

I walked through town with Boney, enduring the jeers and sneers from everyone, as they taunted me, asking where Dad was, why I wasn't in the factory, why I didn't have a Happy Box...

I was going too see Mom when one of the trains pulled in.

"...In a way, it's a good thing you're not here to see this.

...I love you, Mom."

I went off to the forest. I needed to think.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_83-6.png

Oh, right. The Pigmasks did that. They took animals and cut them up and put them back together. Snakes with chicken heads, mice with propellers, moles with eyes torn out and replaced and they hands cut off and replaced with drills and set loose...

It was disgusting. It made me sick. The animals went insane. They would blindly attack anyone in their path. I wanted to put them out of their misery. I wanted to make the Pigmasks pay. I wanted to dash their heads in with a rock.

I trudged back to town. That didn't help at all.

I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. I wanted, most of all, to fly at Fassad in a blind rage and beat him until he stopped moving, to tear down the new construction brick by brick. I had to fight down the bubbling rage.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_106-4.png

But it was getting harder every day.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_108-5.png

But I had to show her, at least.

I went to see how Wess was doing.

Looks like I had no choice but to walk along the tracks.

Funny. Just a few hours ago I wouldn't have really minded if a train hit me. But now I cared. I guess it was because I had a mission now?

"What did it feel like?"

"Hm...It felt like I was pressing something in my mind that was part of my mind but not part of my mind at the same time. Sorry, I can't really explain better."

"Hm. Same for me too."

Y'know, i'm getting the impression that the makers of the game are trying to tell us something with these "Happy Boxes"... a message, you might say. :smallcool:

(So that guy spends most of his time searching for the body of the boy... and in all these years he hasn't managed to scour the mountains? Does he have no plan? No system? And what about his other son? Neglecting him maybe a bit much? >_>)

Oh yeah, big time.

Flint has scoured the mountains up and down. He still hasn't found Claus's body, so he's holding on to hope that Claus is alive and lost in the mountains.

And yes, this whole time he has been neglecting Lucas in his grief.

[factotum]

Yes, I kind of got the "turn the TV off and go and do something outside instead" vibe too. Bit of biting the hand that feeds you for a video game company, really! :smallsmile:

[Domochevsky]

Ah, now i remember where i have seen Mother 3 stuff before... it was (http://hiimdaisy.livejournal.com/23959.html#cutid1) here (http://hiimdaisy.livejournal.com/24229.html#cutid1). :smallbiggrin:

[CoffeeIncluded]

Hey guys, I'm back. Gonna try to update tomorrow or Monday.

[Inhuman Bot]

We're nearing my favorite part of the game. :o

[CoffeeIncluded]

We're nearing my favorite part of the game. :o

What, the band? I enjoyed that part too. I loved all of it.

It's not hypocritical though, because Mother 3 was originally for the Game Boy Advance, and you can play with that outside. It's those darn Earthbound yuppies who are ruining the world with their happy boxes.[/sarcasm]

Seriously though, if you get the chance to play this game, by the time you've beaten it, you sort of see why they're hesitant to release this game to we capitalist pigs in America (even if their reasoning is unfounded).

Actually, it was supposed to be for the Nintendo 64. :smalltongue:

It actually wasn't that bad down there. It was cool and slightly damp; a welcome reprieve from the summer heat. Just push the claymen upstairs.

"Say it again, and I punch you."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_62-6.png

And then I got the PK Fever again.

He then bent down and whispered to me.

The DCMC was actually nice.

There were cheers and tears all around. Then it was down to business. Kuma took the lead.

[Domochevsky]

...he was wearing a wig? >_>

[factotum]

I was a bit more concerned about the malevolent musical instruments. Not to mention, where did Lucas get a second ticket for Boney after all the effort to get just one of the things? Would have made that previous section a whole lot easier if we'd known he could create tickets out of thin air! :smallwink:

I left the egg near a dormant clayman. That's all I could remember.

"Duster, sometimes I wonder if that's what your mind is like...Oogh."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_19-12.png

I really need to carry some aspirin with me.

It took a while, but we eventually made it out.

Duster had a very...Engaging conversation with the moles.

Hey! I just asked how they never needed a map and it sorta snowballed from there...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_24-10.png

Ugh...Isn't the sky clear?

Yeah...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_33-11.png

Then we heard a creaking sound. Well, not quite creaking, that implies stairs, it was more of a--

Duster!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_34-13.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_42-9.png

Kuma, Duster, look!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_43-10.png

When we finally reached the clayman factory, we noticed a few pigmasks arguing.

Okay, let's knock them out while they're--

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_54-9.png

Oops.

Nice going!

And then they jumped back and started acting really weird.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_55-9.png

Your worst nightmare?

...

Come on, I always wanted to say that!

So you put stuff other than umbrellas on there too! I put my wig there!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_57-10.png

And then he too did a double-take and saluted me for some reason.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_60-9.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_61-7.png

Uh...Thanks.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_64-9.png

Hmmm...A bit tight around the shoulders, but not bad.

<I can't see!>

Ugh, this thing stinks. When was this thing last washed, half past never?

My feet hurt...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_66-9.png

We walked through the place. I couldn't help but grin a bit as all the pigmasks jumped to their feet and saluted at me.

"So mister Pigmasks, how do the claymen work?"

"Duster! No fraternizing with the enemy!"

I don't know if that was a curse or a residual memory...

We ran into the tunnel and nearly got run over.

...If only I knew what I would discover once I went up there.

[factotum]

The guy who came up with the creatures in this game didn't also do the 1st edition D&D monster manual, did he? There's a definite theme of combining two unlikely things into one monster in both... :smallwink:

[Domochevsky]

Tower of Love ...sure, why not. After all, you're blowing things up with PK Love, too. :smallwink:


Overall Mother 3 seems to be a lot more ...heavyhanded in its messages than Earthbound, from what i've seen so far. Environmental/Oldschool messages all over the place.
Dunno if that's just an impression.

[Drago]

Considering it's quite possibly the best game ever, I would hope so. :smallsmile:

Hey now, that takes some real GUTS!:smalltongue: to say. It is most certainly one of the best games ever but it's neck in neck with Earthbound and Final Fantasy III (err... that would VI now wouldn't it) it's possible to make arguments for all three but definitive claims are another matter.

Plus we all know D&D is the greatest game ever, without it now of the above would have ever existed! :smallcool:

Tower of Love ...sure, why not. After all, you're blowing things up with PK Love, too. :smallwink:

I was thinking of covering this point in detail but that would mean I need to spoil a few things. So instead I'll just say wait for the end of the game to make your call on what the messages are. Though there is no way around it the themes are much more in you face in Mother 3 than Earthbound.


Wonderful LP btw CoffeeIncluded; you have done a great job of covering the game, and giving a little more life to the characters. You have motivated me to go back and finially finish the game (curse you life making me put this one down for to long then giving other games to play through). I must say though, TFMY has corrupted me, when ever I read character dialog I hear the characters voices from that radio play echoing in my head.

Heh, thanks. :smallredface: I'm going to try to update tomorrow morning.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Sorry for the delay, guys!


Of course, what occurred at Thunder Tower has been well-documented. Indeed, Lucas and his friends would have been able to guess with only a few more clues. But they were young, they lacked all the pieces, and they had too much else to worry about. The Pigmask's plan to corrupt and distract Tazmily was going perfectly...

So this is Thunder Tower...

<It even smells electric.>

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_02-13.png

Uh...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_03-10.png

Keep up the good work! Loser.

"Ugh...Lucas, did you see any aspirin on the Pork Bean?"

"No, sorry."

"Dammit."

"Okay, that's good."

"What are these things?!"

"They're cuddling up next to us."

"Aww! They're adorable! Who's a cute little thingy? Who's adorable! You are! You are! Can I keep him, Kuma?"

"No."

"Awwww...."

...

...

Yoink!

...And then we found the truth behind Thunder Tower.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_08-10.png

...Lightning damage?

"..."

"...Lucas..."


"...All this time..."

<"...Lucas...">

"All this time...They've been striking my house with lightning, my friends' houses with lightning..."

"Uh...Lucas, I know you're upset, and we're furious too, but, uh..."

"...They killed my mom, killed my brother, ruined the town, broke my dad, wrecked my life, wrecked everything I love, and now they're zapping people that don't obey them...And now they burned down my house, Fuel's house, Grandpa's house..."

He stared at the ground for a very long time. His body trembled, and his small hands balled into fists. When he finally looked up, there was a glint in his eyes that I never saw in him before...Flint. He looked like you did when you heard about Hinawa, Flint. He didn't speak above a whisper, but...

"...They're gonna burn for what they did."

"Lucas? Uh, now might be a good time to take a deep breath and--"

"THEY WILL BURN FOR WHAT THEY DID!!!"

Without another word, he ran past us deeper into Thunder Tower. It took all our energy to catch up.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_27-13.png

Lucas didn't listen. He just pushed right past the pigmask, as if it weren't worth his trouble.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_29-12.png

"Shut up and fight, you monster."

"Please. You think I'm the head honcho around here? Not even close!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_31-11.png

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_32-12.png

With a howl of rage Lucas charged the Pork Trooper. I don't even think he was aware of what he was doing at the time. A small boy facing off a huge pork trooper several times his size...It took all our strength to keep him alive. Lucas wasn't even aware of the bruises and cuts inflicted on him. He didn't even notice when the pork trooper smashed his nose in, or twisted his arm at an angle where it wasn't supposed to be. He just kept screaming and attacking the pork trooper, bashing him in the head long after he cracked his skull.

And just like that, he collapsed. Whatever was powering his rage left as quickly as it arrived.

Oh, and then Fassad arrived.

"What IS this place?!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_57-11.png

"So this is King P's playplace...It looks like a little kid's room. Or, well, a dream room."

"...Claus and I...Our dream playplace was never like this...

...He's dead, isn't he. The pork trooper."

"..."

We sat in the hot tub for a while. I dressed and healed his wounds while he cried. He cried for a very long time.

"...Thanks guys...I...I think I'm okay now."

"Really?"

"...No. But faking it will keep me going for a while...Just. Please don't let that happen to me again."

"What DID happen?"

"I have no idea. I heard what they did and everything went red."

"..."

"...I'm a monster, aren't I."

"...But..."

"I don't know who killed the pork trooper, but whoever it was, it wasn't you!!"

"But it looked like--"

"NOT THE TIME!!!"

<"I love you, Lucas. You're a good boy.">

"...Thanks...Oh. The yo-yo. I could use that as a weapon, right? But I can't really kill anyone with it..."

[factotum]

Wonder if "Whatever" is a direct translation of the Japanese name or just getting the idea across? And Fassad really is a total muppet, slipping on his own banana skin--I have a suspicion he isn't the Big Bad behind all this and that someone else is pulling the strings...

[Domochevsky]

What im more curious about is why the team just stood there and let him talk instead of kicking him off the dome or somesuch. He can't be all that tough. :smallconfused:

[CoffeeIncluded]

What im more curious about is why the team just stood there and let him talk instead of kicking him off the dome or somesuch. He can't be all that tough. :smallconfused:

Actually, he is that tough. I had a really hard time beating him, at least.

[AgentPaper]

Okay, so I've decided to play through this game. I've also decided to hold out on reading this LP (or anything in this thread) until I've done so. However, my fear of spoilers is making it hard to figure out exactly what games to play and in what order I should play them in. Also, if anyone has any tips on how to get the games, if you could send me a PM with links/instructions/etc. that would be awesome.

[Maximum Zersk]

Well, I'm trying to finish this game meself, so I won't look past the Jealous Bass.

Dear god, I'm stuck there. How'd you finish it, Coffee?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Well, I'm trying to finish this game meself, so I won't look past the Jealous Bass.

Dear god, I'm stuck there. How'd you finish it, Coffee?

PK Love+PK Healing+Good healing items+Pencil Rocket.

[Maximum Zersk]

Hm, okay.

What level were you? I have a feeling that I'm not a high enough level and that's why I keep losing there.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Eh, I can't quite remember. Around level 20?

[Inhuman Bot]

Tower of Love ...sure, why not. After all, you're blowing things up with PK Love, too. :smallwink:


Overall Mother 3 seems to be a lot more ...heavyhanded in its messages than Earthbound, from what i've seen so far. Environmental/Oldschool messages all over the place.
Dunno if that's just an impression.

It is, I'd have to agree.

[Garland]

Well, it is pretty anvilicious, but it's such a great game, it's one of those where you can see the love put in it by the developers.

I might just play it again.

(also, did you just miss Lord passion, or can you still fight him?)

[Cute_Riolu]

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's more propaganda by the piggies and Fassad. You know, so that everyone doesn't get curious and dead?

[Maximum Zersk]

Eh, I can't quite remember. Around level 20?

Ah, okay. that'd explain it.

Actually, I remember Itoi (That's his name, right?) saying that the Happy Boxes don't represent anything, so that message is out.

[Domochevsky]

That's what he says, but somehow i'm having trouble believing it. :smallcool:

[Domochevsky]

That's... ok? Not sure what to make of this scene. :smallconfused:

[factotum]

They devoted an entire chapter to a cutscene dream sequence? Odd indeed.

[Drago]

Ah, okay. that'd explain it.

Actually, I remember Itoi (That's his name, right?) saying that the Happy Boxes don't represent anything, so that message is out.

That's what he says, but somehow i'm having trouble believing it. :smallcool:

It's far more about what the Pig Masks used the happy boxes to do than what the happy boxes are. The corruption of something pure and good namely.

They devoted an entire chapter to a cutscene dream sequence? Odd indeed.

Well you actually play through it at no time does the game drop into a scripted computer controlled scene. Play it was a bit of a head trip to say the least.


Good update CoffeeIncluded, I was wondering how you would handle this scene and the dialog worked wonderfully. Keep up the good work.


Edit: Also here is something for anyone playing through Mother 3 Right now; the fine people over at Starmen.net (http://starmen.net/) are running a play through of it right now where each day sets a point of the game to play to and they are have community members play it on UStream so anyone having difficulty can see how it's done. Here is the link (http://fangamer.com/fanfest/m3/2010/4) to the play throughs page. Also I'm sure with a little work you can find your way to the walkthrough they made for anyone that gets stuck/has the japanesse version.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Thanks, Drago. Here's the newest update!

It was time for the end of the Pigmasks' plans...

Mom...

So...if I fell, and landed there, then where were Kuma and Duster?

Kuma knew here PK abilities better, maybe she could have made a shield or something, but Duster...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_11-12.png

"Uh...Uhm..."

And then Grandpa changed the subject again.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_13-13.png

Unfortunately.

"ONE OF THEM TRIED TO DROWN ME!"

I ran outside, hoping to dunk my head in the river or something to shock the memories out of my head.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_15-12.png

"Boney? What is it?"

<"Not sure! It smells really familiar though.">

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_17-11.png

Oh GOD no.

And, of course, it was the same one as before. Ionia?

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_20-12.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_21-12.png

Thank you very much for the nightmare fuel.

*Sigh* Fine.

"Oh, thank you! <3"

"And you're the nut who tried to drown me."

"Nonsense! I was merely awakening your power!"

"You pushed my head underwater. I breathed in hot spring water. I passed out. Boney was about to perform CPR."

And I can't scrub my brain without a heavy-duty brush.

"Wait, I didn't even--!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_38-15.png

"Of course! Thank you so much! <3"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_39-12.png

I couldn't believe Ionia was that strong.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_40-14.png

OH GOD YOU LIVE HERE?!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_41-13.png

It's all so...Pink.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_43-12.png

Well at least you don't make my brain want to vomit in my skull.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_44-12.png

"Are you okay, Aeolia?"

"I'm as fine as ever. <3"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_46-12.png

"..."

<...>

...*Snicker*

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_49-11.png

"Aah! Yes, Ionia!"

I untied Ionia's rope and then...He put on...His makeup. I looked the other way, at my hands for good measure.

I really needed to clean under my fingernails.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_52-13.png

I should have plugged my ears too.

"So you're the Lucas I've been hearing about?"

"Yeah..."

"By chance, do you know the young boy three years ago? Orange hair?"

"...Claus..."

Ionia was pacing back and forth nervously.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_53-10.png

Before any of us could respond, the earth started to rumble and the sky went dark.

When the light faded, there was a faint smell of smoke in the air.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_58-7.png

And then Aeolia's body started to flicker and fade.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_60-11.png

"Aah! What's going on?!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_62-9.png

"The needle!"

"The what?"

"Aeolia..."

<"Boney!">

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_75-6.png

And then he vanished.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_76-7.png

Hm? What's this?

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_77-6.png

"Uh..."

"Aeolia meant it as a gift for you."

"...Okay."

"Quick! To the courtyard! <3"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_78-8.png

Why did Ionia have to run like that?

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_79-10.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_80-9.png

The place where the needle was...Was now a crater. Purple smoke curled out of it. For some reason, I felt...Energized. Ionia inspected the crater for some time.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_81-9.png

"Ionia. Before you say anything else, CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS FOR ME?!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_90-8.png

"THANK YOU!!!"

King P?

Then I heard a dropped cellphone ringing.

The monkey?

...SALSA!

"...I'll be there soon."

I hung up. Ionia looked at me with concern.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_111-8.png

"I'll see you again."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_112-9.png

Gee, thanks.

"Hey, wait!"

"What is it?"

"What did you mean by, 'It'll come when called.'? It's not the PK powers, that's for sure!"

"How did you break your nose, Lucas?"

I felt the lump on my nose. Kumatora had been able to heal it, but she didn't know how to set it properly...

"...I don't know."

"You got angry, didn't you. Something went snap. And then when you woke up..."

"...My nose was broken. My arm was twisted. My shirt and face were spattered with blood."

"I remember your father. He nearly snapped too. Held me up to the wall and was about to strangle me. Has your dad gone out of his skull before when he's really angry or upset?"

"..."

"The PK abilities make it stronger. If you want good to triumph, you have to learn to control it. Bye now! <3"

"Thanks."

I turned it over in my hands. It was dirty, rusted and dented. There was some lettering underneath, but it was illegible. I pinned it on my shirt anyway.

Love you, Mom."

As I was about to go on the train, the phone rang again.

"Dakota?"

Thankfully we managed to catch the train in time.

I was strong enough to face the cattlesnakes now.

Yes.

I went into the factory for some reason.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_143-4.png

I got a knot in my stomach. Did this have something to do with the needles?

"Huh? Oh! Right!"

"Okay then."

...

"Screw that!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_161-7.png

Whatever was in there, my goal was clear.

I've got something good for the next update.

[factotum]

Pale blue text on the spoiler light grey background is quite hard to read...

Interesting update, though! Seems like it's heading for the climax...

Sorry. You won't get pale blue text again.

There are 8 chapters in Mother 3.

[Domochevsky]

So the Dark Dragon's heart will become as light or dark as the one who pulled the needle, hm? Gee, i wonder. :smallamused:

(8 chapters total? Huh, fairly short.)

(8 chapters total? Huh, fairly short.)

I don't think that is going to be the case, since the rest of Chapter 7 will be devoted to finding and pulling out the other Needles.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Chapter 7 is the longest in the game.

Update later today. Sorry about the delay.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Crap. I'm running out of bandwith on my photobucket account. This has to be a short update. Sorry.

"Okay. Thank you."

When we walked inside, I couldn't help but shiver. Despite attempts to make it seem more open, the lab still had a sterile feel to it.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_165-6.png

I preferred the commander suit I got before. That actually fit really well on me. This mask kept wobbling around.

<Exactly!>

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_166-5.png

Oh, the monkeys?

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_167-7.png

"Boney, we've got to find them before they do!"

When we went to the next room...For some reason there was an old guy in a trash can.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_168-7.png

"Aah!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_169-5.png

A scalpel, a drill, a bonesaw, several clamps, stitches, and all other kinds of surgical tools...

And a note on a chalkboard.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_170-6.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_171-6.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_172-5.png

Why does that feel ominous?

...And then we found the not-a-secret secret of the Chimera Lab.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_173-5.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_176-5.png

And...They strap down the animals and they...AUGH!

"Mom...Claus..."

I couldn't help it. I knelt on one of the operating tables and wept.

<"Lucas, we've got to find the monkeys. Come on, Lucas!">

"...You're right."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_177-4.png

"Yes!"

<"No! The pigmasks found us! Run away!">

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_178-5.png

"Dammit!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_179-4.png

"I think I'm gonna be sick..."

When we came back outside, one of the chimeras was waiting for us.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_180-4.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_181-5.png

"Crap. CRAP!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_182-5.png

That thing was tough. Really tough. And of course the pigmasks didn't help at all.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_183-5.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_184-5.png

*Pant* *Pant*

<"You sure you cured all the poison?">

And then it pounced again.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_185-5.png

COME ON, HELP ME OUT!

Then the claymen subdued it.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_186-4.png

"Yeah, no thanks to you. Did that one escape?"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_187-4.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_189-4.png

You couldn't see their faces, but I knew they went pale.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_190-3.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_191-2.png

I think one of them actually wet himself.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_194-1.png

Never saw a pigmask move that fast.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_195-1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_196-1.png

"How bad is it?"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_197-1.png

"Of course. Haven't you kinda noticed that cutting up animals and putting them back together with bits of other animals and mechanical parts kinda, oh I don't know, drives them insane?!"

"...Boney, this is going to be a long and terrifying day, won't it."

[The Dark Fiddler]

"Cute part-timer"? One of the Pigmasks has a crush on Lucas. :smalltongue:

Running out of bandwidth? I see three options:

1) Don't update again until the month is over and the bandwidth resets. Since that's still two weeks, that might not be a good choice.

2) Buy premium. Costs money, so probably not a good option either.

3) Make a new photobucket account (or account on a different image hosting site). Make a new email to register if you need to. This is probably the easiest and best.

Oh, forgot it depends on your sign up date, not the start of the month. Not too long of a wait then.

[Inhuman Bot]

This is a short update, but...


http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_161-6.png

I didn't know where Duster and Kumatora and Boney were. But I knew where I was...

Sunflowers.

Sunflowers as far as the eye can see.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_168-6.png

Am I dead?

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_170-5.png

...Then where's mom? Sunflowers were always her favorite.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_172-4.png

A voice, a vision of a small room, from nowhere.

Mom? Is that you?

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_173-4.png

Boney! I didn't want you to be dead too! Daddy needs you! I deserved it, you didn't!"

A gust of air, out of nowhere.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_175-3.png

Mom?!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_176-4.png

Mom! Mommy! Wait for me!

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_177-3.png

Please...Don't go.

Then where's Claus?

Just saw this. No offence, but I think just posting the screens would have worked better. :smalltongue:

As for the latest update, I vote you charge headlong, bravely battleing any terrible beasts you encounter.

[Garland]

I'm always shocked by that... thing above the Chimera Lab entrance.

Ah, the whole chimera lab was one of the funnest parts in the game for me.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Is anybody reading this?


The Ultimate Chimera...There was nothing else like it in the world.

When we left the lab, we heard roars, squeals...And screams.

Somehow I didn't think that would help.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_04-10.png

"Hey, I saw you before. Who are you?"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_06-13.png

"Well, technically it's Jeffrey Andonuts, but...I guess that man died years ago."

"Hm?"

"I..."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_07-14.png

"YOU started the Chimera Project?!"

The old man winced.

"Yes, but...I never wanted to.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_09-16.png

The roar of the Ultimate Chimera punctuated his statement.

"Don't think this isn't over."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_11-13.png

He was lying in a pool of his own blood...

We fled to the basement.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_25-15.png

"Get out of my way!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_26-14.png

"Gotta find Salsa...Gotta find Salsa..."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_27-15.png

I knew I was on the right trail.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_28-14.png

And then the alarms began to sound.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_29-14.png

"Salsa! It's me, Lucas!"

<"Pigmask! Run!">

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_34-16.png

He lept...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_43-13.png

...And missed.

"I..."

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_56-9.png

<"WHAT?!">

"SCREW OFF!"

I pulled the yo-yo out of my pocket. At least I wasn't going to go down without a fight. Behind me, I heard Dr. Andonuts gasp.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_60-12.png

The chimera pounced. I braced myself...

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_61-10.png

I opened one eye.

"Salsa! Thank you!"

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac294/caffeineincluded/Other/2377-Mother3JWRG_63-11.png

"Can...Can I see your yo-yo?"

"Uh...Okay?"

He grabbed it out of my hands and stared at it with a...Hungry look. No, a longing look. I saw him rub his thumb over and over again over the faded, barely-legible writing that was crudely engraved into one side. I noticed it too, but didn't think anything of it.

I mean, Ess's Yo-Yo? What could that possibly mean?

Dr. Andonuts handed it back to me with a distant look in his eyes.

"I should have known. They've probably been dead and gone for years. Ha...What a coward I am."

Yes, we're reading it...there wasn't anything to read for a while, though. We could keep posting "Are we there yet?" every couple of days if you like, though! :smallwink:

I certainly still am reading it! We're getting right up to the part where my game crapped out on me. :P

A... battery operated chimera? What? oO

(Also, Ness' yoyo? Didn't he have a bat?)

Not only is it battery-operated, part of it is a little canary that can turn it back on in case of emergency!

Clearly andonuts thought about everything.

It's the little touches that make battery-operated chimeras just that more special.

Yes, Ness had a bat, but he could also use a yo-yo.

Yep. Did you catch that part?

Thanks for reading, guys.

Well, I've played Mother 3 a couple of times (I love all things earthbound). I don't know if the screenshot sequence is clear enough for someone who hasn't played that part though.

I await the next installment eagerly!

I'm really sorry, but I need to put this on hiatus for now. School's starting and I'm applying for colleges this year, including Early Decision for Cornell, and I can't afford to risk messing that up. :smalleek:
