Eight Melodies

Two different sets of the Eight Melodies appeared in the Mother series. The first in the original Mother, the second in EarthBound. They both play a large role in their respective games' stories.

In Mother

The Eight Melodies of Mother was the song that Maria sung to Giegue as a lullaby during the time she was with him.

Throughout the game, Ninten will have to Check or use Telepathy on certain objects or characters to learn each of the Eight Melodies. After getting the Ocarina, you can listen to any known melodies anywhere. You can learn them (spare the last) in any order, but this is the most common, and simplest order following the story, along with their lyrics.

• Doll - Take a melody
• Canary - Simple as can be
• Singing monkey - Give it some words and
• Piano - Sweet harmony
• Smiling cactus - Raise your voices
• Dragon - All day long now love grows strong now
• EVE - Sing a melody of
• George's tombstone - Love, oh love.

After you learn the Eight Melodies, you will be warped from George's tombstone to Magicant where you must sing it to Queen Mary. She will remember the song, and Queen Mary will finally rest in peace, destroying Magicant.

Singing the Eight Melodies are the only way of defeating Giegue in the final battle.

In EarthBound

In EarthBound, the Eight Melodies are learned from each of the Your Sanctuaries. After learning all eight, Ness' mind will be one with Earth, and create his Magicant, where he will defeat the evil of his mind.

At the beginning of the game, Buzz Buzz will give Ness the Sound Stone to record the melodies at each Your Sanctuary location. The melodies are recorded in this order:

• Giant Step
• Lilliput Steps
• Milky Well
• Rainy Circle
• Magnet Hill
• Pink Cloud
• Lumine Hall
• Lava Spring
