:To be honest, I'm not buying it. Paper Mache simply does not look like that, and I am dubious about trusting a seemingly random Blogspot article about it. It also wouldn't line up with other Nintendo products at the time, such as the front cover of Nintendo Power with Mario, Pikmin 2's promotional material, or Super Mario Bros. 2 in general. Furthermore, during the Mother 1+2 event, there were multiple clay figures posted and those in attendance seemed to verify they were indeed clay. Unless a more concrete source emerges saying otherwise, I think keeping them as clay models is the most appropriate course of action. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] -  15:13, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

I found mention of the ''Mother'' 1 & 2 models both being papier-mâché on the website Mother Forever, which links to Kenisu's translation of the Encyclopedia Mother review I mentioned earlier. But when I copied the Japanese text from the Internet Archive and put it through Google Translate, It said it actually was "paper clay". When I researched that, it turned out it was actually a mix of toilet paper (not the kind with lotion, scent or color added), joint compound, PVA glue, 2 tablespoons mineral oil, and white flour. So either the Google translation was shoddy, or now I have a third option: maybe we should call it paper clay? (this would also explain why the models' surfaces are so smooth.)
