MOTHER 3

MOTHER 3 is the third and final entry in the MOTHER trilogy of games, developed by HAL Laboratory, Inc., Nintendo, and Brownie Brown. It was released for Gameboy Advance in Japan on April 20th, 2006, and is currently only officially available in Japan. However, a fan translation into English exists in lieu of an official localization.

Original Premise
The game follows the family of Lucas, Claus, Flint, Hinawa, and their dog Boney, who live in a small rural village called Tazmily Village on the Nowhere Islands. In the beginning of the game, Tazmily Village is shown to be a Utopian community wherein people cooperate and exchange goods and services only out of the goodness of their hearts rather than for money (which is not even a concept in the beginning of the game). However, one tragic night, on a walk home from their grandfather Alec's house, there is an explosion in the forest they must pass through. The explosion starts a forest fire, and Lucas, Claus, and Hinawa have a run-in with a Drago that has been turned into a mechanical chimera. The twin boys reach safety and the fire is eventually put out by rain, but Hinawa is killed by the Mecha Drago.

Hinawa's death sends shock waves through Tazmily Village that change their way of living forever. Claus swears revenge against the Dragos, and leaves home to fight the Mecha Drago, never to return again. Flint becomes fixated on his missing family members, leaving Lucas largely alone as a man named Fassad introduces money to Tazmily and an organization called the Pigmask Army, headed by King P, instills its regime and takes over control of the Nowhere Islands. After three years under the Pigmasks' control, Tazmily becomes far more industrialized and capitalistic, and the introduction of technology such as the Happy Boxes (TVs) changes the way the villagers interact.

Following the three-year timeskip, the player plays as Lucas and is eventually tasked with pulling the seven Needles that seal an entity called the Dark Dragon underneath the islands before the commander of the Pigmask Army can. The game follows an RPG style and uses a combination of rhythm-based hit combos and psychokinetic (PSI) attacks in its battle system.
