Mother 3, By request Options

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Welcome to the world of
(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated.png)

The concept was brought up, and I decided I could do it easily enough since I got the guide. I'm still playing RFF and Klonoa's coming out soon, but again, the guide. Hopefully it won't be too tough to stick to. Also, the reason this isn't in the other "Let's all play Mother" topic is because I'm still in the middle of the first game on there. Anyway... let's meet the family.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/mother_03.jpg)

Hinawa

The gentle and protective mother who's currently tending to the twins while Flint takes care of the livestock back home.

Flint
Father and loving husband, Flint is quiet and reliable.

Lucas

A bit of a weakling to be sure, but a kind and gentle boy.

Claus

Unlike Lucas, Claus is energetic and out going, though he's still a good kid.

Boney

Though far from a vicious protector, Boney is still a dedicated and lovable family pet.

Now that that's out of the way, welcome to the Nowhere Islands, Tazmily Village, beyond the Sunshine Forest to the home of Alec. Hinawa's father.

*knock knock*

*knock knock*

Claus
"Lucas!! How long are you gonna sleep?! Get up so we can play! Get up already! The Dragos brought their babies over! They're really cute!! Hurry up!"

Blrrg. I'm up, I'm up...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated2.png)

Anyway, downstairs...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated3.png)

Hinawa
Good morning, Mr. Sleepyhead Lucas. Claus has been up for a while, playing with the Dragos.

He's always doin' stuff in'he? Anyway, on the way out the door...

Hinawa
Are you planning to play in your pajamas? Scoot upstairs and change your clothes.

Yes, Mom...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated4.png)

Now it's time to plaaay! *barrels down the stairs*

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated5.png)

Oops. Sorry. (Got some Nut Bread!)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated6.png)

Introducing Alec, Hinawa's father!

Alec
Oh, you're up, sleepyhead. Well, today's the day you head back home. I'm gonna miss you guys.

Now to randomly talk to some animals.

Cow
Moo. (All cows, no matter what they're thinking, go, "Moo." It'd be handy to remember that.)

Pig
Oink oink. (What the pig next to me says worries me...)

Pig
Don't worry about it.

Chicken
Cluck cluck? (You're awake, cluck?)

Chicken
Cluck! (You late riser!)

Frog
A story is a series of memories. Memories are remembered with other memories, and in turn become memories themselves. If you don't take care to preserve your memories, you'll forget them. So, please tell us frogs your memories of everything so far... That is what people refer to as "saving". Now then... *hop* Save your game?

Why yes!

Frog
Please be careful out there. Give my regards to the next frog you meet.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated7.png)

Anyway, moving on... Claus is taking on dinosaurs like it's child's play. Of course, it is...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated8.png)

Claus
*huff* *gasp* Whew, I'm beat. I've been play-fighting with the Dragos all morning. You should play too, Lucas.

'kay!

Claus
Here, try ramming into a Drago.

Alec
[gameplay mechanics are talked about here] You'll never succeed with that sullen look on your face. That holds true for anything. Just relax!

Okay... here we go!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated9.png)

Yeah! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)

Claus
The harder you hit them, the more the Dragos like it.

Mole Cricket
Move it! Outta the way! Make way for the great Mole Cricket!

Mole Cricket
I can't just sit idly by when I hear someone's play-fighting! I'm gonna wipe the floor with all of you! Get in my way and you're in for a world of pain!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated10.png)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated11.png)

After a bit of clowning around...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated12.png)

We won!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated13.png)

Mole Cricket
I see you have more of a spine than I thought. If you'd like, I could train you personally sometime. Next time we meet it'll be at the big Mole Cricket Hole Stadium! I look forward to seein' you there! ... Bro.

He scurries off... *squish*

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated14.png)

Hinawa
I stepped on a mole cricket. I hope it's all right... Lunch is ready, everyone. I made you your favorite, boys. Omelets!

Claus
Ooh! Lunch, lunch! Omelets!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif) *Lucas and Claus run off*

Hinawa
You too, Dad.

*Hinawa follows the boys*

Alec
[Alec explains how to save, in case we missed the frog earlier] Now then, It's time for me to return to the story. Hey! Wait for me! You saved me some Omelets too, I hope?!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated15.png)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated16.png)

Claus
What's your favorite food, Mom? Oh? Omelets? Then your favorite is the same as ours? We make a good match!

Hinawa
After we're done eating, we need to get ready to go home. We have to go through the forest to get back, so we'll need to leave early.

Alec
Don't be silly. I bet the kids could make it there on their own, it's that safe. I bet even you could handle it, Lucas! Hahahaha!

*Hinawa steps out*

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated17.png)

Dear Flint,

Just like you said they would, the children have been running around the mountains and fields tirelessly since the moment we arrived.

Claus is as daring and full of energy as ever, while Lucas is still a bit coddled. But neither one seems tired of playing at all.

My father seems sad to say goodbye to his grandchildren after seeing them for the first time in so long, but we should be home by this evening.

I had forgotten how nice and refreshing the mountain air is. You're always covered in smell of sheep back in Tazmily village, so I really wish you could be here to take in this air.

The next time we visit, let's ask one of the neighbors to tend to the sheep so we can all come up here as a family.

Claus, Lucas, and I were always thinking about you. When we get home this evening, I'll start cooking some of your favorite Omelets right away.

With love, your dearest Hinawa.

Something hovers overhead...

If for some reason you hate to read, don't worry. I just figured since all I was doing for the first post was the prologue, I might as well do it in full. However, if you prefer it this way, I can just keep on like that. At least sorta. Whatever.

Man this chapter sucks. Helps to gather more hate for the bad men though if they needed it. Read on for animal cruelty.

Out is kicked a monkey, our hero, and another monkey is witheld.

Fassad
If you don't do your job... then this girlie monkey is as good as dead. Do what you're supposed to, and you'll get to have a nice, happy reunion later. Understand?! Both you and this girlie monkey could wind up dead, if you're not careful!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/You__ll_dance_stupid_monkey_by_Evan.jpg)

Fassad
Well? How do you like it? That lovely thing around your neck is no ordinary collar. It's so advanced, that even if you ran to the ends of the desert, punishing you would be a snap. Come to think of it, Monkey, you don't have a name, do you? You're going to need one from here on out. I hope you can come up with something cute. Nwehehehehe!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_12.png)

Fassad
Alright, stupid monkey! Salsa! I'll only say this once, so listen close! If you wanna enjoy your little journey with me, just remember these two things. You and I are buddies... Don't you dare try to run away from me. Always behave, and act nice and friendly. Got that? Good boy. The second thing to remember: Never disobey my commands. If I say dance, you dance! If I say laugh, you laugh! It's that simple. Got it?! Do what I say and we'll both get through this without any hard feelings. Nwehehehehe. Oh...? What's that defiant look in your eyes? Dance!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_13.png)

Fassad
Nwahahahahahaha. That's such a silly monkey dance that watching it is embarrassing! Try a different dance.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_14.png)

Fassad
Good boy. Laugh!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_15.png)

Fassad
Backflip!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_16.png)

Fassad
Good boy. Good job. No doubt everyone'll believe we're a performance duo now.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_25.png)

Fassad
...... Hey, you stupid monkey! You only get to cry when I tell you to! No crying on your own! It's punishment time!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_26.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_27.png)

Fassad
Hey, you! Quit sleeping on the job! Alright, listen! There's a white, round building west of here. We're going there!

[You wound up being taken with Fassad!]

Save Frog
Heya. I saw everything. Be strong. Endure it. I'm sure things will start to go your way someday. Please be careful out there. Give my regards to the next frog you meet.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/lookbusmoney.png)

Wee, we get to wander the desert now. After beating some of the local dung beetles and lizards and such, a silly a silly sidequest to lighten the mood.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_28.png)

Wan Sum Dung
I don't have any dung to roll, so I'm not a true dung beetle. I'm so sad. If you ever happen to come across some dung, please bring it to me. I'll always be here, so please bring me some. I want to roll dung!! I don't even care what kind it is!! ... *sigh* Now I'm all upset and confused! Wait, you brought me some dung?! And you're giving it to me? For free? Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! Yeaaaaaah! Let's roll! Let's roll to the ends of the desert! Yeah! (Salsa gained 5 Experience points)

Back to desert wandering. Hey, a present box!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_29.png)

Fassad
Hey, you! Stupid monkey! If you think you've earned that Luxury Banana you've got another thing coming! Gimme that!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_30.png)

I hate this guy. Also, the desert is weird.

Frog
So dizzyyyy! Help me, ribbiiit!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_34.png)

Frog
All that spinning and dizziness actually started to feel kind of nice after a while... Thanks for saving me when I needed help. Anyways, while we're at it, *hop* save your game?

The sign says:

Frogs in a desert? It's actually not as crazy as you might think. Some species of frogs, such as "Sand Frogs", do exist in arid desert regions like Africa. During seasons with little to no precipitation, these frogs burrow into the ground to protect themselves from the harsh, dry climate.

Games are so educational.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_35.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_36.png)

Fassad
Listen, monkey! That's a cactus wolf, the meanest thing in the desert. But we can't get inside with him standing there. Go beat him up. Lose, and I'll have an extra serving of punishment ready just for you!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_37.png)

So I defeat him by chipping away at him while making him laugh and dance and unable to attack.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_39.png)

and down an elevator we go...

Fassad
We're going to take it to an unbelievably uncivilized village called Tazmily. It'd take an incredibly long time to get there on foot, but with this Pork Bean we'll get there in the blink of a "Nwehe!" ... You get all that?

[I walk down to it]

Fassad
Hey! Don't get in yet! You stupid monkey! Alright, listen up, [gameplay information.]

Fassad
There's a place there called the Yado Inn, where we can stay the night. That's where we're headed now.

and off we go.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_50.png)

Fassad
What do you think of the wonderful bag I gave you? Is it to your liking?

Butch
Oh, it's you, Mr. Fassad. Don't scare me like that... Actually, I was just counting to see how much is in here.

Fassad
Nwahahahaha. Just please be extra careful that it doesn't get swiped by any thieves.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_51.png)

Fassad
... Oh, pardon me. I wasn't paying attention. I'm sorry, but we're in a terrible hurry. If you'll excuse us. Come now, monkey. We should be off.

(They walk on, Salsa lingers for a while)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/Salsa%20Quest/M3Translated_52.png)

Butch
What do you think's inside?! "Money"! There's "money" inside! Ever heard of money?! What? You don't know what money is?! ... Actually, I'm not all that sure, either. After all, we've never had it in Tazmily before. But apparently an "era of money" is about to start! Huh? What's an "era of money"? ... Huh? Oh, a traveler gave it to me in exchange for some pigs! Yeah, he took a real liking to my pigs. And then he asked me in tears if I'd trade them for this. It did seem pretty strange to me at first, but I decided to trust the guy. He's definitely a friend worth having!
