Line 124:
*** That's right, and your rival also has a mother. Wally also has both parents who love and support him, and an aunt, uncle and cousin who love and support him. Lucky guy.
* The obscure platformer ''Scaler'' has the main character, a human boy [[Animorphism|transformed into a lizard]], who has decided to go by Scaler. He lives with his mom; his dad, a scientist, disappeared in the backstory; it's implied that he was sucked into the "reptile world" that Scaler now finds himself in. Naturally, he finds his father. {{spoiler|It's Leon, his [[Older Sidekick]].}}
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]''. Ness's parents are alive and present throughout the adventure, apparently pleased that their son is engaging in a potentially lethal quest to save the world. However, his father is never seen for the entirety of the game, only talking to Ness through phone conversations to save the game.
** It's the same situation for Ninten in ''[[MOTHER 1|Earthbound Zero]]'' game. Although there was a (ultimately abandoned) [[Sequel Hook]] that seemed to imply his father would be more involved.
** ''[[Mother 3]]''. Don't get us started on ''Mother 3''. In the same night Lucas loses both his mother and his twin. He still has his father, but Flint's reserved, and everyday is out either at his wife's grave or still searching for his son.
