Mother 3: Difference between revisions

Long ago there once existed another world. It's never specified what the world was, how it was like, or what it was called, but the world was immensivly larger than the Nowhere Islands. The world wound up destroyed in a cataclysm, it was never revealed what caused it, but it was the result of the people. A select few foresaw the destruction happening and built and climbed aboard the White Ship to escape the cataclysm, which the ship made its way to the Nowhere Islands where they were protected by and co existed with the [[Dark Dragon]]. The people eventually realized that they could not live together with the Dragon anymore, and so it was put to sleep under the Islands and sealed by the Seven Needles guarded by the Magypsys, and was not to be awakened until it's power was truly needed.

Leder also tells that once a kingdom existed on the Nowhere Islands long ago, the kingdom being Osohe. By the time the White Ship arrived on the Islands the kingdom ceased to exist. However the former kingdom was used as a vital part of Tazmily Village's "story": Kumatora was an orphaned infant when the Ship arrived on the Islands, and she was given to the Magypsys to raise. Her role in the story was to be the princess of Osohe Castle, with Wess and Duster being her retainers.

Porky then learned about the Needles and the Dark Dragon from a Magypsy who betrayed the others and joined Porky's side, the Magypsy being Locria. Porky sought to pull the Needles and use the Dragon's power for himself, however only those who have the power of PK Love can pull the Needles, which neither Porky or even the Magypsys are able to. The only ones who can pull the Needles are Lucas and the Masked Man, as such it is revealed Porky is using the Masked Man as his proxy to pull them and Lucas must stop them. Should Porky succeed there is a possibility that another cataclysm destroying the world could take place. With this knowledge Leder, honoring the meaning of his name as "leader", lives up to his name tasking Lucas to infiltrate the Empire Porky Building, where Porky resides, to put an end to his dastardly plan and pull the final Needle before the Masked Man does.

They now exit and find themselves back on New Pork City's streets where more and more people began to gather, indicating something big is about to occur. As the group climbs the Empire Porky Building, which is the tallest building in New Pork City, they meet the DCMC who is now about to hold their final concert. Duster temporily rejoins them for one last concert. However, the concert is cut short by z power outage committed by Porky himself. Porky, knowing the plans of Lucas and his friends, tells them to come up the 100th floor of the building.

On one level the party discover a [[Magypsy]] house. Upon entering, they find items which include a turban like Fassad's, a pair of trumpets like the ones Fassad has after being rebuilt, many crates filled with luxury bananas, which Fassad ate throughout the game, and banana peels lazily tossed on the floor like Fassad did. Outside nearby is a mouse who says it was cared for by Locria. It remarks that despite Locria being more unsettling than the other Magypsys, along with having a creepy "Nwehehehehe" laugh (like Fassad's), he was actually kind and a good friend of the mouse. The mouse continues to await the return of Locria. This all reveals that Fassad was actually the Magypsy traiter Locria.

Once beating it, they go into a long hallway, where the background music is a familiar ambiant theme: the title music of [[EarthBound Beginnings]], Mother Earth. In the next room, they find the [[Hall of Memories]], showcasing many items from ''EarthBound'', which include the [[Runaway Five]]'s tour bus, {{eb|Tessie}}, the helicopter that Porky flew away from the Monotoli building in, the submarine which [[Ness]] and co. used to enter Deep Darkness swamp, the black and white sesames from the [[Dusty Dunes Desert]] between [[Threed]] and [[Fourside]], and Porky's original spider-mech from the battle with [[Giygas]], before ending up in a long hallway leading to Porky.

Porky greets them and attempts to have a friendly negotiation with him, but reguardless of the answer he explodes. It is revealed that the Porky was actually one of many more complete Porky robots, which attack the group. During the fight, more mechanical Porkys appear back to back along with other enemies. Eventually, Duster's former bandages, the DCMC, rush into to the room and defeat the remaining Porky robots. After several of the townspeople of Tazmily Village enter the room with Dr. Andonuts and Flint, the real Porky descends from the vines on the roof where his outward appearence has aged drastically. After having a long speech, they are all alerted that the last Needle has been found and can be reached from a cave system deep below the city, Porky then challenges Lucas and friend to beat him to it via the express elevator. Lucas, Boney, Kumatora, Duster, and Flint rapidly descend the elevator shaft to a [[New Pork Caves|mine-like]] environment.

Continuing onwards, Porky soon confronts them in his spider-mech. Porky has another speech boasting how his servant the Masked Man will pull the final Needle. When Porky hears that the Masked Man is Claus, he doesn't care about what he has made Claus into. Finally he battles the team. During the fight Porks reveals more about himself, such as his constant back and forth time traveling caused his outward appearence to accelerate in aging to the point where he is dependant on his Spider Mech bed to move. He also reveals that he is immortal and no matter what happens, he will never die. He even knows that pulling the final Needle could possibly result in the destruction of everything except Porky (as he is immortal) and the Dark Dragon, despite this he admits he is will to see everyone who hates him be destroyed leaving him and the Dragon as the only beings in existance. When Porky seems to be defeated, he calls upon the [[Absolutely Safe Capsule]] and climbs inside. It seals Porky inside and being true to its name, it protects Porky from all harm. However, Porky finds that he cannot harm the heroes, either. When the battle ends, Dr. Andonuts reveals that he built the Absolutely Safe Capsule with the specifications that once someone is inside, the machine cannot be opened by anyone, including the person inside of it, he even warned Porky not to use it for this very reason. The capsule was built not to protect the one inside it from the world, rather to protect the world from what is inside of it. While Porky is indeed "absolutely safe", he is trapped in the machine forever, and as Porky's wish was to be isolated from anyone who dislikes him, Dr. Andonuts admits this may have granted exactly what Porky has asked for, and proceeds in a childish payback by rolling the capsule around.

A secret on the final screen of the game, in which the word "END?" appears, where moving the d-pad will actually reveal that everyone is alive and the world has been restored, they then 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]]. Lucas is the last one to say thanks and his the player farewell to the player as they leave.
