Cast roll

Cast Roll is in all three Mother games. The cast roll shows the overworld sprites for almost all the characters found in the Mother game it is in. The protagonist and the party members are mostly seen near the end, and major characters are seen beforehand.

In
No names are given to any of the characters, but some, such as Ninten's family, should be recognizable. Ninten, Ana, Lloyd, and Teddy are shown at the same time, and stay on screen longer than all the others. This games cast roll is viewable only in the Earth Bound prototype and Mother 1+2. This not being in the original game, along with the cutscene before hand, confused most people at the time, because Teddy was gravely injured in the end, so after Giegue is defeated, his fate was not known.

In Earthbound
It mentions the names of all the characters. In the end, the photograph guy will 'take a picture' of the player. The credits that follow, which consist of all the pictures taken over the journey, won't show this picture, since the game, nor any TV it is played on, could actually accomplish this.

In Mother 3
