== The identity of the Dragon ==
Once the dragon is awakened, you get the chance to talk to the characters as yourself, the player. Conclusion: ''[[Tomato in Thethe Mirror|You are the dragon]]'', $troper.
* Why does this webpage know my name?
** All the more proof that you're the Dragon. We all know who you are.
Line 93:
Seriously.
* He -is- a time traveler, though.
** Didn't stop [[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Lavos.]]
*** Didn't help him, you mean.
 
Line 99:
When the rest of the world ended, the island remained. It is destroyed when the sleeping dragon is awakened. This follows the pattern of Maria's and Ness's Magicants vanishing after they discovered the secrets of their minds and were awakened. Notice that the Magypsies' houses are identical to the seashell houses in Mother 1 - not to mention the Magypsies themselves, who would fit in perfectly.
* Problem is, the island doesn't as much 'vanish' as 'explode in a fiery inferno of horrible doom', which I don't recall happening to Magicant in Earthbound. Maybe in the Japanese version.
** That's because there was a overlapping reality to revert to in the first two games. By giving their wills up to the universe, they'll be reborn; whether via [[Reincarnation]] or simply incarnation; who knows? Very Shinto/Buddhist. See: ''[[Star Ocean 3]]''. ...or ''[[The Neverending Story (Literaturenovel)|The Neverending Story]]''....or ''[[Super Mario Brothers|Mario Galaxy]]'' ....hmm...I smell a trope
** Could be explained that before we didn't remain in Magicant as it fell apart. We fanish/leave as there is a white light or such, and assumed it just ended there. In reality, there was still a nightmarish end of the world for the citizens to go through.
* So, wait, you're saying that the Dragon is [[The Legend of Zelda|the Wind Fish?]]
Line 122:
* I always imagined Fassad was afraid of death and Pokey promised his needle would not be pulled if he aided him in his schemes, while, of course, still intending to pull his needle anyway. His life ended up not being consequential to Pokey's plans, though. Fassad was also sort of a jerkass himself, so that could also be his reasons for joining up. He sort of filled the role Pokey filled in Earthbound as "annoying recurring antagonist". Had he not died himself, I could easily see him filling the role as the main villain of a Mother 4 or something, much like Pokey's transition from lackey to head honcho.
** Two possibilities [[Mc Jeff|I]] thought of...
*** 1) Fassad was something like the comic book [[Whatever Happened to Thethe Man of Tomorrow?]]. The other Magypsies took up primping and cross-dressing just so they'd have something to do. Fassad may have simply gotten tired of it and decided to do something else.
*** 2) It's also possible that he was a [[Token Evil Teammate]] all along. (Music Jargon warning) Did you know that the Locrian mode is the only mode that has a tritone rather than a perfect fifth as the mid-interval? And that the tritone was historically associated with evil, and called the Devil's Chord?

== The Dark Dragon was in all three games, {{spoiler|as a deity/god for Giygas' people}} ==
We all know his appearance and purpose in Mother 3. But what about the first two? In [[EarthMOTHER Bound Zero1]], the dragon you fight is either a weaker form of the Dark Dragon or a dream version of him. {{spoiler|If it was a dream version, than it's possible Giygas told Maria about the Dark Dragon, a legendary god for his people.}} In [[Earthbound]], The Bags Of Dragonite are bags of ground up rocks powered by the Dark Dragon's energy for thousands of years, kind of like the way sedimentary and ingeous rocks slowly become metamorphic rocks in [[Real Life]], hence their rarity, {{spoiler|or because they were all harvested under orders of Giygas}}. It's also entirely possible that {{spoiler|Giygas got his power through feeding off the Dragon, or the Dragonite.}}
 
== Mother 3 is actually meant as a giant metaphor for mortality in John Donne's sense of the word ==
It's really not as absurd as it seems. There are two extremely obvious references to [[John Donne (Creator)|John Donne]]'s Meditation 10. The first one is Leder, who rings the bell to remind the villagers about what happened to the previous world. There is also the island, which could be a direct reference to the part where Donne says "no man is an island". Note that Itoi normally never puts in a reference that is accidental and there are several plot points that are comparable to ones in the same meditation.
 
== Flint was originally supposed to accompany you up the Empire Porky Building, instead of Duster. ==
Line 377:
It's the only explanation for everybody talking casually to Lucas {{spoiler|in the dark}}, and the final picture in the credits showing {{spoiler|[[Book Ends|Hinawa releasing the carrier pigeon like in the beginning of the game]].}}
 
== [[Pokémon|Isshu]] is the world of [[Mother 3 (Video Game)|Mother 3]] reborn. ==
{{quote| (from a legend in B/W) "Reshiram and Zekrom were originally one Pokemon. Twin heroes formed a new country together with the dragon where humans and Pokemon could live together. But one day the brothers began to fight over the direction that the country should move in. The dragon began to fight along with them, and its body split in two, Reshiram siding with the older brother and Zekrom with the younger. The two dragons would battle each other until Isshu was destroyed, so they were put to sleep." }}
* That first dragon was the dark dragon after reforming the world and resseructing all those who had died in vain. Claus, wanted the country to be more military oriented, and Lucas want the country to stay peaceful, the Chimeras and animals were changed into the pokemon we know today by the Dark dragon.
** If you look closely in the area of the Forest Shrine in [[Mother 3 (Video Game)|Mother 3]] where someone asks for your name, you'll notice a black dragon and a white dragon pictured on the wall, circling each other. Hmmm...
* Looks like the Dark Dragon did one heck of a lazy job rebuilding, there's still chimeras roaming loose in Isshu...
