Line 2:
* Oh, a empty Mother 3 page... Well, something that bugs me in this game... Claus. Not Claus as in, "himself", but the ''OTHER'' [[Dummied Out|Claus(es).]] He just... bugs me. [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|...In my sleep, too!]] Will we ever find out what he was really supposed to do in the game?
** I'm assuming you're talking about the Claus backgrounds. A good theory out there is they're supposed to represent Claus' [and Lucas's] current mood in the fight. Check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbvvbgVC1U
*** Actually, Claus was supposed to become [[The Lancer]] of the [[Five -Man Band]]. The robot represents how Lucas thought Claus was just an robot, the angel represents how Lucas thought Claus was dead and this wasn't his brother, and Lucas and Claus together was Hinawa telling Lucas that Claus was just as he remembered him. The rest might continue that pattern or be Giygas.
* How do you pronounce Claus, anyway? Chuggaaconroy says it Cl-ow-s, but the handbook makes a pun - Claus for concern.
** You can pronounce it either the German way (Cl-ow-s) or the French way (Clow), whichever tickles your fancy. Both are canon. Same with Lucas' name, you can leave off the s if you want.
Line 9:
 
* Why did Locria (or Fassad) help the Pigmasks get the needles? He should have known he would have faded away if his needle was pulled like the other Magypsies. So did he have a death wish?
** "If I'm going to disappear, I'm [[Taking You Withwith Me|taking the world with me]]."
* If the Masked Man pulled more Needles than Lucas, NOTHING. WOULD HAVE. HAPPENED! When Ionia was explaining the story to Lucas, s/he said that legend told that if someone with a heart of evil pulled the needles, the heart would be passed on to the Dragon to satisfy wicked ambition. But, as Ionia pointed out in the very same scene, the one who pulled the Needle HAD NO HEART AT ALL.
** Pretty sure the implication was that if the Masked Man pulled more needles, his lack of soul would be reflected in the dragon, meaning that the dragon, and with it the world, would blip out of existence. A heart of good or evil could control the dragon and make it do their bidding, but no heart at all would create a destructive void that may very well take the universe with it. {{spoiler|Porky knew this, and that's why he set up the unique conditions of making the Masked Man in the first place}}
Line 29:
** Claus had taken his mask off? Or, you know, to remember something and to actually do it are quite different things.
 
* How is Dr. Andonuts still alive? I mean, does this mean that the events of Mother 3 really take place only a few years or so after [[EarthboundEarthBound]]? But Porky said he traveled through centuries to get to when Mother 3 takes place. I always assumed that Dr. Andonuts used a time machine because he's a scientist, but I can't ignore the possible [[Inferred Holocaust]] of everyone and everything we know and love from [[EarthboundEarthBound]].
** [[Kidnapped Scientist|Who said he time traveled voluntarily?]]
 
Line 36:
 
* This might be a touchy subject, but why didn't Lucas just use PK Healing after Claus/The Masked Man dies?
** If we don't go the [[Story and Gameplay Segregation]] route, it says that characters "got hurt and collapsed" if they lose all their HP in battle, so they're probably not dying, just falling unconscious or whatever. So PK Healing just returns them to consciousness, rather than outright bringing them back from the dead. Alternatively, Lucas knew that he couldn't truly resurrect his brother - he'd just be bringing back the Masked Man, who would continue killing them all and then pull the last needle. Alternatively alternatively, Lucas did plan on resurrecting his brother, but he pulled the needle first, and [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|well...]]
