''Mother 3'' is set in the [[Nowhere Islands]] in an unknown time period. 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]] in an unknown time period.

When Wess and Alec bring Lucas and Boney home, they explain that they had a dream where Hinawa told them to put a haystack right where they landed. Alec asks about Sister's whereabouts and suggests for Lucas to visit the Magypsys. As Lucas and Boney are leaving, they find the [[Magypsy]] [[Ionia]] tied up on the bridge. They rescue Ionia and then it takes the duo upriver to Aeolia's house. Suddenly, a loud tremor is heard outside and the sky begins to flash different colors for a short time, then Aeolia begins to disappear. It explains that its needle has been pulled and is now time for it to disappear from existance. As Aeolia disappears it gives Lucas a [[memento|razor and lipstick]], and uses the last of its power to open a secret passageway to the location of its needle in Osohe Castle. | |||
Lucas and Boney reach the former location of Aeolia's needle and see that it was pulled out. Ionia appears to teach Lucas about the [[Seven Needles]]. Pulling the Seven Needles will release a seal on the [[Dark Dragon]], a being that rests below the islands, which inherently possesses massive power. In the wrong hands it could destroy the islands, while it could heal the world in good hands. Ionia tasks Lucas to pull the other needles before whoever pulled Aeolia's does. He finds a transceiver phone like Fassad's nearby, and answering the call find the location of the next needle being near [[Chimera Laboratory]]. The party races against the Pigmask Army to activate the needles. | |||
Upon returning to the surface, Boney drags Lucas to Hinawa's grave where the gravekeeper Nippolyte gives Lucas the [[Courage Badge]], a present from Flint. The duo then head to the Chimera Laboratory in the [[Murasaki Forest]]. Lucas and Boney soon find themselves in the genetic-engineering laboratory where [[Dr. Andonuts]] and other scientists work. To infiltrate the lab, the two disguise themselves with Pigmask helmets and are tasked to find Salsa and his girlfriend [[Samba]], who were intended to be used for an experiment but escaped. They find the two monkeys, but then they run off due to mistaking Lucas for a Pigmask. However, the most dangerous of their creations, the [[Ultimate Chimera]], has been set loose. After fleeing from the beast, they discover Salsa and [[Samba]] trying to escape the lab. Salsa, remembering how Lucas helped save him from Fassad, deactivates the Ultimate Chimera, and helps him escape. The party heads to the home of one of the Magypsy and encounters Kumatora, who rejoins the party. With the help of Dr. Andonuts, Lucas drains the lake and pulls the needle. | |||
Upon leaving the area, Lucas and co. encounter [[Mole Cricket|Okera]], the mole cricket from the prologue of the game. He challenges Lucas to another match, and leads the party down into the lair where the mole crickets live. After an easy battle, the party is allowed to travel through the maze-like caves that lead up into a [[Snowcap Mountain|tall mountain]]. After traveling up the mountain, the group meets the next Magypsy, who has allowed a captured Pork Colonel-turned-good to rest in the house. Before Lucas gets a chance to pull the needle behind the Magypsy's house, the Masked Man arrives and pulls the needle. After a battle with the Mecha-Gorilla, the party ramps off the mountains in a refrigerator and crashes in Tazmily Village's cemetery. | Upon leaving the area, Lucas and co. encounter [[Mole Cricket|Okera]], the mole cricket from the prologue of the game.
