cockothenorthPREVIOUSLY ON MOTHER 3
Duster, how are you a thief?
Ohhhh noooo I lost the screenshots I lost the screenshots! I'll be a laughing stock among screencappers!
Unless...I fake them. Of course! Nobody will ever know!! I'm a genius!!!
I'd better strikethrough this. Nobody ever reads strikethrough'd stuff!
Hey everyone! Welcome to another Mother 3! The first four screenshots are in black and white for some reason. How strange!
Well, here we are in the SPOOOKY graveyard. Oh look, a UFO in the distance!
BUT SUDDENLY, OUT OF THE GROUND!!! ZOMBIES!!!! AND ONE OF THEM LOOKS LIKE IT'S CHARGING ITS LASER!!!!!
Zombie Man: ehhhh.....Duu---sstter. Ammm IIII allliiiiveee?
Zombie Lady: ooohhh.....dddiiidddnn'ttt IIII dddiiiiieee?
Zombie Man #2: ooooooohhhhhhhhh IIIIII'mmmmmmm bbbbaaaaaaaccckkk!!
Zombie Lady #2: AHhhhhh, iiiisss tthhaaatt yyyooouu, DDDuuussttteerr?
Yoouu've gottten sooo big. Itt miightt taake meee 3 ddays aannd nighhhts to eeat all of youuuu.
TAKE THAT, FOUL ZOMBIE FIENDS!
MEGA KICK!
Nipolite: Ah, you're Wes's son, something or other. You, whatever your name is, always did like walking around at night.
Ant: Anty-ant ant. (I hear a voice from somewhere. Don't you? Hey, buddy, look down. I'm down here. I'm an ant. Don't step on me.
Argh an ant I hate ants aaagh
I've been watching you fight this whole time...and it's killing me. Don't you know anything about the rhythm of battle? Dum-de-de-dum or bop- bitty-doo-wop.
Aaargh it's trying to lecture me on battle technique. Listen, buddy, I'm using a keyboard, the rythm system is insane hard with this thing.
In battle, the enemies' movements all have a particular rhythm. You can use that rhythm to your advantage. Do it right and you can get up to a 16 chain attack. I call this the.... Ta da! Sound Battle.) Anty-out!
HEY LOOK IT'S NIPOLITE
WHERE IS HE GOING?
HE'S DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY
(insert Zelda "you solved a puzzle" ditty here)
THOSE WIDE, UNBLINKING EYES.
THIS MONSTER IS CLEARLY ABOVE ANYTHING WE HAVE BATTLED SO FAR.
IT'S STARING AT ME
THAT WAS THE MOST TERRIFYING BATTLE IN MOTHER 3, FINALLY DONE
TRULY THE HEIGHT OF MY FIGHTING CAREER WAS DEFEATING THIS INCREDIBLY POWERFUL ENEMY
THIS ENEMY WILL BE EASY AFTER THAT INSANELY ARDUOUS BATTLE
SOMEBODY SET UP US THE BOMB
WHAT
WE ARE DOOOMED
Several weeks of epic battle later...
Oh wow I can't believe this guys. Nothing can stop Duster now! NOTHING!!
NO
NOOOO
Phew.
HOW MANY OF THESE THINGS ARE THERE. THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH. WHEN DID I SWITCH THIS GAME TO THE "RIDICULOUSLY HARD" DIFFICULTY LEVEL?
Sweet freedom!
HMMM this wall looks suspicious.
It looks like you can climb up here. Will you use the Wall Staples?
(YES/NO)
Of course it's a yes.
We've finally reached the top!
...so let's go straight back down again! :D
It's Nipolite!
Nipolite: Oh, it's Mr. Something-or-other. You managed to get through the passage without being done in by the monsters.
Eh? You want to go in the castle? Impossible.
The door is locked and won't budge an inch.
If you wanted in the castle, I guess you'd have to scale the wall, or something crazy like that.
Tutoriole: Tweet! (Let's me tell you some of the tricks of battle. How you come in contact with an enemy can have a big effect on the battle itself.
You don't always have to touch head-on. If you can manage to hit an enemy from behind, it'll be to your advantage.
At the start of the battle the enemy will be facing away. But, if you are hit from behind, you will start the battle with your back turned.
When things are going your way you will notice a green flash before your eyes.
A red flash is a symbol of disadvantage.
A blue flash means that everyone is all even-steven.
Just remember this: Face forward, young man. Go-go-go!
And now, in parting...) Tweet!
It really isn't budging! But who needs a door when you have...
...
...
...(Duster, stop admiring the view and get in there)...
..,ANOTHER DOOR! wait oh man no an ant
Ant: Anty-ant ant. (Hey, don't you ever look down? I'm right here.
It looks like you still haven't gotten the hang of the rhythm of battle.
Shut uuuuup
To figure out the rhythm you have to figure out the enemy's movements.
Didn't you know that you can put them to sleep and then listen to the beating of their hearts?
That's a strange image there. Duster putting an enemy to sleep and then going up and listening to its heart.
Hypothetical Duster, ear to a sleeping enemy: THIS WILL HELP ME GET THE HANG OF THE RYTHM OF THE BATTLE
I knew that.
And now you do, too.
Although, you still can fight without worrying about rhythm.) Anty-out!
What a nice portrait.
Why do I feel like I'm being watched?
Brrr.
Is it just me or does something look different about that portrait?
You have the feeling that a woman is watching you from behind the painting.
How do you know what gender those eyes are, or do you just get that impression from the actual painting?
G-G-G-GHOSTS!
nooooo
2 HITS YEEEEAAAAH! I'M REALLY GETTING USED TO THE RYTHM OF THE BATTLE!
Duster are you alright there?
I believe this is the "Nausea" status effect. It means you can't eat food. D:
Hurray, a rotten eclair!
A suit of armor is on display.
The name of this piece is written on the plate...'It weighs heavy on me.'
I HAVE A GREAT IDEA!
LET'S CHARGE INTO THE STATUE!!
BUMP
Oops! :B
uh that was completely intentional. I did it to show you what happens when you run into the statue from the wrong side! Obviously!
Okay, for real this time!
POW
Do you want to jump down?
OF COURSE!!
There's a ghost in this present!
You feel sick to your stomach.
You ghosts make me sick! D:<
Let's wall staple!
DEEP BREATH
STAPLE!
yeah that didn't really do any good
Yaaay a cure for nausea!
Yaaay a-another one. :/
ahhhh random hotspring
No translation but it's just a door opening, nothing exciting.
We're outside again!
blah blah blah ghost fight blah
ARACHNIDS! Because calling them spiders JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH
Ooh the battle mem...ory book.
It doesn't just have info on them, my friend!
BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE
HERE, WE CAN BATTLE
For all eternity if we wanted to I don't think you can kill stuff here.
Ooh and there's that zombie from earlier! Doesn't it look EXACTLY LIKE ITS UNFAKED SCREENSHOT!?
WOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAH
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
DOUBLE NOOOOOOOOOO
Alright back to business
ZOMBIE GOASTS LEAVE THIS PLACE
Untranslated

Good Ghost: That's the super popular Snake Rope.
You can have that for 1 Rotten Eclair.
Will you trade? (YES/NO)
VERY YES
Thanks! This is an item that will be with you for the rest of your life so even if you think it's expensive you should buy it.
Thanks again. We both got something we wanted.
I got a snake rope, and you got...a rotten eclair. Everybody wins!
Take good care of your Snake Rope it'll be with you for the life of your body.
aaand we'll buy some other stuff while we're here
Random stats check!
In the mess of numbers it's hard to tell what combo I got. 49,214? Gosh.
aaaaand back to the usual 2 hit combos.
Mouse: In this castle the fireplaces are secret shortcuts.
But, don't tell the ghosts.
Painting'd!
Oh boy we're low on HP.
New equip item!
There is a hole in the fireplace. Will you go in?
Yes.
And we're back with the hot springs!
WOOOAAAAAAH
THE ARMOUR ATTACKS YOU BY THE WAY
RUN DUSTER RUUUUN
Good Ghost: Hey, listen up! Piano accompaniment, please.
He stains/he cries/hey, yeah, he just might sing you a hint!
Good Ghost: (singing a song) Even if I forget my moles/on my back and inner thighs/I'll never forget you.
Alone in my room/your wig/is wet with tears.
Please, oh please/don't nail anything into the wall/be they warts or wigs or wall staples/hey yeah woo-hoo
What a beautiful song. :')
Although those who have played Mother 3: Duster gets a wig later. Is the wig mentioned in this song connected?
Those who have not played Mother 3: The above probably sounds crazy. Please ignore.
I've got my eye on you, suspicious painting.
Good Ghost: You!
Are you a normal human? (YES/NO)
No, you're not. You are a thieving human.
Good Ghost: Wine...is the water of life.
I'm the connoisseur of the castle.
Good Ghost: We ghosts love the way food feels as it passes through our souls.
Good Ghost: Would you like to eat, too? (YES/NO)
(he gives you a Rotten Eclair)
A nice thought but...eew.
Good Ghost: Boxes with blue ribbons around them contain maps.
It'd be helpful to remember that.
Now we can navigate the castle with ease!
Note: I never used this map again.
Good Ghost: We ghosts have parties every day.
I can't get used to it.
Well a song told me not to nail anything into the wall, so...
LET'S DO IT!
*rebellious wall-stapling*
OOF don't do that, man.
Good Ghost: Hey, that's a Rotten Eclair, right? How about trading me for Jerky? (YES/NO) If you get any more Rotten Eclairs let me know, OK?
Rope Snake: All right...looks like it's my time to shine.
Throw me over that candlestick there.
Don't worry. I'll be fine.
WHOOP
WHEEE
I didn't capture much of this scene I admit.
Good Ghost: I know you're strong but the suit of armor in this room is gonna rock your world.
If you're ready to be rocked I'll step aside.
Don't forget to use your thief goods and other goods, too.
THAT SUIT OF ARMOUR IS READY TO DELIVER SOME RAAAAAWK.
But let's steal his shoes instead.
Yeeaaah I'm not gonna fight that armour.
This doesn't appear to be translated.
:/
Oh man I do not like these guys.
Even if they do beat each other up they beat me more.
nooooo
Actually these guys aren't so bad.
Here's the boss.
This part is looong and I'm going to be splitting it in two. See you on Mother 3 Part 9- part 2!
Duster, how are you a thief?
Ohhhh noooo I lost the screenshots I lost the screenshots! I'll be a laughing stock among screencappers!
