'''Mother 3''' is a role | '''''Mother 3''''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|マザースリー|Mazā Suri}}''' ''ＭＯＴＨＥＲ３'') is a role playing video game developed by [[Brownie Brown]] and [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]] on April 20, 2006. It is the third and final video game in the [[Mother (series)|''Mother'' series]], and revolves around the fictional Nowhere Islands, their invasion by the Pigmask Army, and the attempts of young [[Lucas]] to depose them. | ||
Although initially conceived for release on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], ''Mother 3'' was the subject of multiple delays and several consoles. Initial efforts to develop an N64 sequel failed, and while the project was canceled for a short time, ''Mother 3'' was re-announced in 2003. Its subsequent release on the Game Boy Advance was met with commercial success and positive reception. | |||
Although the game has not been released outside of Japan due to its mature themes, ''Mother 3'' has enjoyed a cult following similar to that of its predecessor, ''[[EarthBound]]''. In October 2008, a fan translation of the game was released by Starmen.net, and ''Mother 3'' has been represented by Lucas in the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros. ''series]] since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. | |||

{{spoiler}} | {{spoiler}}Unlike the first two games, the focus is no longer on a group of children. Some chapters put completely different characters in the protagonist role. In one chapter the player controls a limping thief named Duster, in another chapter the main character is Salsa, a monkey who is constantly suffering abuse by a rich traveling merchant named Fassad. The only child character the player gets to control is Lucas, who is about nine to ten years old in the first three chapters and twelve to thirteen years for the remainder of the game. Further controllable characters include Kumatora, a tomboyish princess, Flint, a strange middle-aged cowboy and Lucas's father, and Lucas's dog, Boney.</span> | ||
''Mother 3'' is set in the [[Nowhere Islands]], some unknown amount of years after ''[[EarthBound]]''. Chaos ensues after an invasion by the [[Pigmask Army]], named after the uniforms, which resemble pigs, and its leader, [[Porky Minch]], the "Pig King". They slowly construct a police state, while experimenting on the land's flora and fauna, and introducing new technology and infrastructure to the islands. The various chapters record the life of a boy named [[Lucas]] and his family and friends, banding together to rid the Nowhere Islands of the Pigmask Army. | ''Mother 3'' is set in the [[Nowhere Islands]], some unknown amount of years after ''[[EarthBound]]''.

The game opens with [[Flint]], who, after a fire in the forest, finds out that his wife [[Hinawa]] and his sons Lucas and [[Claus]] haven't come back to the village yet.

He then sets out to look for them with the help of his dog, [[Boney]] and the town's residential thief, [[Duster]]. He soon finds out his wife has been killed by a [https://www.wikibound.info/wiki/Drago drago], leaving him to raise their sons. After Claus goes missing to kill the [[Drago]] that killed his mother, Flint, with the help of [[Alec]], Hinawa's father, goes looking for him. Claus ultimately lost the battle and, presumably, was killed. Flint could not find the body. | ||
From here, Duster is drafted to go to the haunted [[Osohe Castle]] by his father [[Wess]] to find the [[Egg of Light]]. Duster purchases the [[Rope Snake]] to help him cross gaps in the castle. Along the way, Duster and Wess meet [[Kumatora]]. After they stop several Pigmasks, the trio is flushed out of the castle and Duster loses his memory. He joins the musical group [[DCMC]] as their bassist. | From here, Duster is drafted to go to the haunted [[Osohe Castle]] by his father [[Wess]] to find the [[Egg of Light]].

Before reaching the final Needle, the Masked Man attacks again in a one-on-one battle with Lucas, who stays safe from his lightning attack thanks to the [[Franklin Badge]]. Hinawa pleads with Claus from beyond the grave, trying to get him to stop attacking Lucas, while Flint blocks the effects of the [[PK Love]] attack. Eventually, the Masked Man removes his helmet revealing himself as Claus, and regaining his own will, he sends a final bolt of lightning at Lucas so that it would reflect back at him and end the fight. After Claus collapses, he regains his sense of self and utters a few parting words. Lucas pulls the final needle, and the player is shown a grim outlook of what appears to be the end of the Nowhere Islands. A secret on the final screen of the game, in which the word 'End?' appears, will actually reveal that everybody survives the attack and thank the player for all their help. As the residents of the Nowhere Islands give their thanks, the player finds a [[Doorknob]], likely the doorknob that was pulled off Flint's door in [[Chapter 1]]. | Before reaching the final Needle, the Masked Man attacks again in a one-on-one battle with Lucas, who stays safe from his lightning attack thanks to the [[Franklin Badge]].
