Mother
Mother is a very popular Nintendo role-playing video game, but two of the three games can only be pirated or bought in Japan, making it hard for its American/European fanbase to play. Of the three games, Mother 2, known as Earthbound outside of Japan, was the only one to reach America. The first game in the series, Mother (which was also originally going to be titled "Earthbound" in America) was fully translated by Nintendo, but never met a release date. Mother 3 was the only true Japan only title, but a great majority of the fans claim it to be the best game in the series. One thing that made the Mother series very different than other RPGs is the use of modern themes, all of the games have 20th-21st century based worlds. Another unique thing only featured in Mother 2 and Mother 3 is the scrolling health bars. Unlike other RPGs, you can still control while your health is being drained, even if you're meant to die from the attack, you will not die until the hit points reach zero, which later on in the games, it could take almost a minute for the character to die. Mother 2 and 3 also featured overworld sprites for all of the enemies, making it impossible for your party to run into random battles.
Mother
Mother was obviously the first in the series. Western fans of the series sometimes refer to it as "Earthbound Zero". This is often credited as the first modern RPG, and it inspired Pokemon in more ways than one. The main characters of Mother are Ninten, Ana, Lloyd, and Teddy. Thew story begins by telling about Giegue's adoptive parents, Maria and George, who were coincidentally Ninten's grandparents. One day, Ninten's house is attacked by shit. His dad calls to tell him about George's study on PSI, and the world crisis. Ninten departs from his house due to his unique ability of PSI, and so he can defeat the mind controlling aliens. After getting out of his home town, he finds a portal, leading to his grandmother's Magicant, where Mary requests that Ninten would help retrieve her eight melodies. After Ninten makes it out of Magicant, he goes to Merrysville, the next city, where he meets his new friend, Lloyd.
Lloyd was always picked on at school for being incredibly smart and nerdy, and not being as tough as everyone else. He decides to help Ninten find the melodies, so they both venture out of Merrysville. Their next destination is a town called Snowman, where the two meet Ana, the female protagonist of Mother. Like Ninten, she can also use PSI, however, she can use only offensive PSI, where Ninten's PSI can only increase/decrease strength and defense.
After a while, they finally meet up with Teddy, a gang leader whose parents were brutally murdered. When he challenges Ninten to a fight, he finds that Ninten is much more powerful than he could imagine, so he decides to help Ninten find the melodies. After defeating various minions of Giegue, they arrive at a cottage in Mount Itoi, where Ana admits to Ninten that she loves him. However, the love overed quickly because Teddy was attacked by a robot! "Look out bro!" shouted Ninten. NO! Yelled Teddy! And Lloyd saved them all with a tank. But Teddy was injured so he had to stay in bed :(.
Later on, Ninten, Lloyd and Paula Ana decide to collect the melodies so they meet up with Mary and then they battle Giegue. They have a fucking awesome battle but Giegue attacks Ninten and his friends, so they sing the eight melodies, his old lullaby to calm him. He tells Ninten he'll be back in the next generation, bigger, faster, and stronger, too, and he disappears.
Characters in Mother
- Ninten- The leading character whom you start out as. He has the closest thing to a relationship with Giegue than any of the other playable characters. He is a silent protagonist. He closely resembles Ness from Mother 2 in looks and almost every other way. Unlike Ness, though, his PSI does no harm.
- Lloyd- He is a super genius and considered a nerd by his peers. He is greatly into science, so he uses all sorts of guns and bottle rockets to take down his enemies, but this is mainly due to how weak he is compared to everyone else. He closely resembles Jeff from Mother 2, however, unlike Jeff, Lloyd has grey hair and wears a red shirt.
- Ana- The female protagonist. She has a crush on Ninten, making the only true romantic relationship between two of the main characters in the series. Like Kumatora and Paula, she mainly uses offensive PSI, so even with weak physical attacks, she is able to sometimes inflict more damage than any other character due to how powerful her PSI is. She closely resembles Paula from Mother 2, in appearance, personality and PSI, however, she wears a hat, and has a different hairstyle. Their names appear to be references to the word, Pollyanna, which is probably a reference to one of the main songs in the entire series, Pollyanna.
- Teddy- A thuggish gang leader. His parents were killed early in his life, so he is forced to live his life by his own barely educated rules. He is the odd character of the group, and doesn't resemble any other character. Despite this, he does share in common with Lucas dead family members.
- Giegue- Later known as Giygas. He was raised by Ninten's grandmother, Mary, however, he abducted her and George for his own reasons. While he has hatred towards most humans, he loves Mary like a mother. When he returns in Mother 2/Earthbound, he is mentioned on multiple occasions, however, due to Pokey Minch messing with the devil machine, he mutated into pure evil, completely destroying his mind. In Mother, he closely resembles Mewtwo from Pokemon, and is what Mewtwo is based off of.
