'''''Mother 3''''' (Japanese: | '''''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 initially conceived for release on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], ''Mother 3'' was the subject of multiple delays and several consoles.

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]]''.

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]].

Unlike the two games before it, having a set of four playable characters and rarely deviating from it, Mother 3's playable cast changes often before settling on a team of four in [[Chapter 7]]. | Unlike the two games before it, having a set of four playable characters and rarely deviating from it, Mother 3's playable cast changes often before settling on a team of four in [[Chapter 7]]. | ||
