=== This game has examples of: ===
* [[The All
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Not much about the character personalities are stated in-game, but in the Mother Encyclopedia it says many interesting things about Ninten, Ana, Loid and Teddy that you could never find out just by playing the game. It is in Japanese, but was [[Fan Translation|translated into English by a fan.]]
* [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"]]: If you're not Japanese and have heard of this game, you probably know that {{spoiler|Giygas is the main villain. It actually isn't revealed ''at all'' until you get the final [[MacGuffin]] at the end of the [[Disc One Final Dungeon]], and most of the plot is just you going around the world to learn a song for an ailing queen who you met after a bunch of weird stuff started happening in your hometown. Even the game guides have no information on Giygas, and he has no official art.}}
Line 53:
* [[Dungeon Town]]: Spookane/Halloween, unlike other towns where enemy encounters stop upon entering they can still happen even after entering the town limits.
* [[Eagle Land]]: Although explicitly taking place in America, (which Itoi later denied in an interview concerning the sequel's use of this trope) it clearly follows the trope, and is the predecessor to the [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Early
* {{spoiler|[[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas|Even Bad Aliens Love Their Mamas]]: It's Giygas's memories of his adoptive human mother, Maria, that end up defeating him.}}
* [[Everything's Better With Monkeys]]: A singing monkey gives you a part of the [[McGuffin]]. Later you get to go in a cave full of monkeys. A majority of them lie to you.
Line 77:
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Similar to the sequel, almost nobody uses a real weapon. Teddy, who can use a knife, a sword, and eventually a [[Katanas Are Just Better|katana]], is the exception.
* [[Inn Security]]: In Spookane/Halloween.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Mecha]]: EVE
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: One of the monkeys in the Monkey Cave flirts with Ana.
* [[It's All Upstairs From Here]]: The final battle is at the peak of Mt. Itoi.
Line 137:
* [[Thriving Ghost Town]]: Averted. This game's towns are the biggest in the whole series, and seem to extend past the cluster of houses into the vast rural areas. Most of the houses' doors are locked, however, preventing the [[Kleptomaniac Hero]] (or a thief) from getting in.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: You first find Lloyd in a trash can hiding from bullies. Later, he shows up in a tank to destroy a giant robot that your party could not hope to defeat otherwise.
* [[Two
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The English version, and consequently ''[[Compilation Rerelease|MOTHER 1+2]]''. Only the latter was actually released.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Dear god, the Flying Men. Seeing the cemetery next to their former home is just heartbreaking when you realize that if you hadn't come along they would still be alive.
Line 144:
* [[Weapons Grade Vocabulary]]: Enemies can "attack" with Threatening Words and Swear Words, both of which decrease someone's Fight stat. Your party can get some words of their own to "attack" with, but they do nothing.
* {{spoiler|[[We Can Rule Together]]: Giegue gives Ninten alone a chance to board his mothership.}}
* [[We Named the Monkey "Jack"]]: [[Mrs. Robinson|Mrs. Rosemary]] renames her son [[Zelda II the Adventure of Link|Buggerror]] after Ninten. Evidently she likes his namesake better than her own son.
* [[Westminster Chimes]]: The basis for the background music of Twinkle Elementary.
* [[White Magician Girl]]: Ana, the only completely straight example in the series (Paula has a similar personality but absolutely no healing powers, and Kumatora is a straight-up [[Black Magician Girl]]).
