Unlike the first two games, the focus is no longer on a group of children. Lucas is the only child protagonist in the game, although Kumatora appears to be a teenager. Some chapters put completely different characters in the protagonist role. In one chapter the player controls Flint, a strange middle-aged cowboy and Lucas's father, another has a limping thief named Duster, and in another chapter the main character is Salsa, a monkey who is constantly suffering abuse by a rich traveling merchant named Fassad. Halfway through the game is when the finalized team is used: Lucas is the leader, followed by the tomboyish Kumatora, Duster, and finally Lucas's dog Boney.


''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.

Line 141: Line 140:
Porky greets them and attempts to have a friendly negotiation with him, but regardless 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 appearance 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.

Flint goes ahead through the cavern first while Lucas and his friends follow behind. Eventually they exit the cave into an ominous [[The Final Needle|mountainous area]], where Flint's hat can be seen blowing away in the wind. When the party reach him, Flint tells Lucas that the Masked Man is actually his brother Claus, who has been changed by the Pigmask Army. They have been using him because he is the only other one besides Lucas who is capable of pulling the Needles and awakening the dragon.

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 Porky reveals more about himself, such as his constant back and forth time traveling caused his outward appearance to accelerate in aging to the point where he is dependent 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 existence. 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.
