* [[Anvilicious]]/SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: ''Mother 3'' is many things, but one thing it is ''not'' is subtle. A lot of its fans will assert that the messages aren't bad or that the game would lose a lot of its charm without the overt morals, however.
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: [[Earthbound
* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|Porky's actions in the previous game made him a real [[Jerkass]], but here... What he does to Lucas' family (and what he plans to do to the world, ''just for kicks'') is pure [[Player Punch]].}}
** {{spoiler|Porky has no sympathetic qualities beyond acting like a twisted child, which he gleefully abuses. Somehow people insist he's a woobie anyway, right on this page. Maybe in the beginning, before all this, he was [[The Woobie]], but definitely not anymore.}}
Line 43:
** From the early days of the translation progress: The Flint equipped the Nut Bread!
** Wess's door-opening dance, to the point where Starmen.net had a competition for it!
** The Ultimate Chimera itself is considered one. Heck, it even has it's own [[

* [[Mis Blamed]]: Nintendo often gets railed at by fans for not releasing this game in America and the rest of the world. [[No Except Yes|Except]] the game is a landmine of licensing issues, from the direct AC-DC parody to riffs from popular shows. Additionally, it was released near the end of the Advance's lifespan, and sales in Japan were somewhat lacklustre.<ref> This game was released in 200''6''. The Nintendo DS was released in 2004, and by 2006 had already established itself on the international markets, with stores beginning to phase out [[Game Boy Advance]] titles as early as late 200''5''.</ref> Not to mention the fact that [[Earthbound
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Unused battle backgrounds found within the game's data revealed something.. well.. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubVnmeTRqhg stuff like this.] The [[Epileptic Trees]] went ''flying'' after this was uncovered. No matter what it is, though, it's disturbing as hell.

Line 63:
* [[Player Punch]]: If you thought {{spoiler|Porky was bad before}}...
* [[Sacred Cow]]
* [[Surprise Difficulty]]: ''[[Earthbound]]'', for the most part, was ''[[
** Though the two most difficult bosses in the game become trivial once you reach 45 and 50 respectively.
* [[That One Attack]] : Some of the battle songs are a pain in the ass to combo.
Line 77:
** The Natural Killer Cyborg, who is ''huge'' and extremely tough.
** {{spoiler|Porky}}, who hits hard (surprised?) and has [[That One Attack|an attack]] that hits your entire party for massive attack and defense debuffs.
* [[Tier
** Boney and Duster are virtually superfluous and most players will end up using them simply for bashing the enemy. Duster's status moves are useful on occasion but not overly so.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: And HOW. The subtitle is "Strange, Funny, and Heartrending" for a reason.
** Whether this should be considered a Tear Jerker or some kind of Nightmare Fuel is up for debate, but consider the following: Remember Negative Man? That random encounter who just sat there and let you beat on him, just crying and doing nothing while you mercilessly ended his life? Now compare that to the final boss...
** The entire last hour of the game. Everything about it will pretty much leave you in tears up to and including the final shot.
* [[The Woobie]]: Lucas. At the start of the game, he's pretty shy and quiet, already making him a bit of a woobie. But then, {{spoiler|his mother is killed by a half-mechanical Drago that was ''acting against its own will'', and then his brother Claus goes missing trying to avenge her. His father goes nearly insane with grief, trying to find Claus every single day for ''three years''. [[It Got Worse|But that's not it]]. After three years, the hometown he loved has now been developed into a modern city, and eventually is completely abandoned. Then, after learning that everything he knew about his beloved hometown is a lie, he learns that the mysterious Pigmask commander is Claus, who is now a [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] cyborg. Cue an [[Tear Jerker|incredibly tragic]] [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]], which ends with Claus [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|dying in Lucas' arms]], [[Dying
** Poor little Salsa. First, his girlfriend gets kidnapped by the Pigmasks, and they threaten to kill her if he doesn't go along with their plan. Then, he gets stuck with Fassad, an unrepentant [[Jerkass]] who insults, starves, and [[Electric Torture|shocks]] him at every opportunity, ''even when Salsa does what Fassad told him to'', all throughout Chapter 3. {{spoiler|Thankfully, Salsa eventually [[Took a Level In Badass|takes a level in badass]], while nearly all of Fassad's future appearances end with him getting maimed}}.
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: This is considered the closest video games came to literature. Some people found [[Unfortunate Implications]] because it is also sad.
* [[Woolseyism]]: In the [[Fan Translation]], Yokuba's name was changed to Fassad, possibly in reference to the ''facade'' he puts up around the public. [[Punny Name|Get it]]? It also happens to be [[Bilingual Bonus|Arabic for "corruption"]]. Also, Kumatora's waitress alter-ego gets named Violet and Duster's name when he's with the DCMC [[Shout
** Averted in the case of Hinawa's name. Tomato almost gave her the name "Amber," which would have fit very well considering she's married to Flint (in Japanese, their names reference "Hinawa-juu" and "Furinto-juu," meaning matchlock and flint guns) but decided to leave that one alone.
*** Similarly, other names like Kumatora are kept, avoiding this trope as well.
