''Touhou Mother'' is a fan-made crossover game of ''[[
Made in RPG Maker 2000, the game begins when a Meteor crashes into Gensokyo. After Reimu and Marisa fight of the mysterious alien that arrived with it, they find an unconscious boy nearby, who reveals that he has no memories. Soon after, things go to hell in Gensokyo. Not that that stops the lightheartedness and endless references to other works.
The translated game can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20130313070713/http://vgboy.dabomstew.com/other/touhoumother.htm here], while a playthrough can be found [http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=86A894F907AA6782 here]. A sequel to the game, ''Return of Touhou Mother'', is currently being uploaded as a series of videos by vgperson [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCD0138885284D835 here.]
{{tropelist}}
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]: When he first arrives, {{spoiler|Porky}} has no memory of his past. {{spoiler|Later, he pretends to to be this to mask the fact that he remembers everything.}}
* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]]: After {{spoiler|Reimu, Marisa and Yuka are sent to Old Gensokyo}}, Sanae stars in her own chapter. {{spoiler|She returns after Reimu collects the seventh melody.}}
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* [[Break the Haughty]]: After the party defeats {{spoiler|[[Future Badass]] Cirno}}, she's reduced to [[The Woobie|staring at the wall and muttering about how useless she thinks she is]].
* [[The Cavalry Arrives Late]]: Played with horribly near the climax, when {{spoiler|everyone else shows up and mistakes the roboticised Reimu, Marisa and Tenshi for mere [[Mooks]]}}.
* [[Changed My Mind, Kid]]: This is how {{spoiler|Mima joins the party}}.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|The Eight Melodies}}.
* [[Clipped
* [[Cold
* [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|Tenshi}} works against the heroes more than almost anyone else, {{spoiler|effortlessly beats down Remilia and ''Yukari''}}, and unlike the other Touhou characters is never persuaded to switch sides {{spoiler|until the very end of the game, after Porky [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|turns her into a robot]] to cover his escape.}}
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Especially on the take of the relationship between humans and youkai in Gensokyo.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: While the gameplay leans decidedly towards the ''MOTHER'' side of things, the characters from said series are for the most part pushed to the wayside.
** Not so on the sequel though.
* {{spoiler|[[Future Badass]]:}} A few characters become this after the party {{spoiler|returns from Old Gensokyo.}}
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: {{spoiler|Several, always filling a 'fifth' slot. These include Nitori, Sanae and Tenshi.}}
* [[Gods Need Prayer Badly]]: Source of a [[Tear Jerker|fairly big]] [[Mood Whiplash]] in the sequel. En route to your next destination you happen upon {{spoiler|Sanae and a very transparent Kanako. They explain that the incidents in the previous game caused a great many humans to no longer believe in or care about gods, so Kanako's physical being is vanishing from the world. And then when you return to that area later, neither Kanako nor Sanae are present.}}
* [[Grey and Gray Morality]]: {{spoiler|Are the humans justified in liberating themselves from the youkai they had feared for so long by merging Gensokyo with the Outside World? Or is it the youkai who are justified in keeping the humans under their thumb if it means preserving Gensokyo?}}
* [[Fake
* {{spoiler|[[Fantastic Racism]]: One of the conflicts for the sequel, found near the end of Chapter 1. Porky was just the nudge needed for the humans and youkai to realize just how much they disliked each other.}}
* [[Friendship Moment]]: Several between Marisa and {{spoiler|Porky}}, until {{spoiler|his [[Face Heel Turn]]}}.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: Several, but the worst comes right at the end, against {{spoiler|all of Gensokyo}}.
* [[Homage]]: Sanae's side of the story is a loving tribute to ''[[Metroid]]'' and ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Unfortunately, {{spoiler|''[[Touhou Mother]]'' is set ''before'' ''[[
** In [[Naka Teleeli]]'s Let's Play, however...
{{quote|
* [[Les Yay]]: Frequently teased.
* [[Let's Play]]: [[Naka Teleeli]] has a blind run beginning [http://www.youtube.com/user/NakaTeleeli#p/c/7A5FA573D8EB138B/1/Rh9IQf17heU here], where he points out many of the [[Shout
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: {{spoiler|Mima}} hits almost as hard as Yuka, is faster than Marisa and has some of the most powerful offensive and healing spells right from the beginning.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Marisa likes to make references to game mechanics, particularly the four-person party aspect.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Yuka fills this role.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: In the vein of the ''Mother'' series.
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: Mimicking [[Mother 3
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong|My Human Village Right Or Wrong]]: Poor Keine...
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Because of Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Yuka's speed never naturally increases.
* [[The Obi
* [[One
* [[Recurring Traveler]]: [[Creator Cameo|S]], appearing as a white [[Kirby]], more or less.
* [[Recurring Boss]]: "a", a slime who multiplies his stats by some number each time you fight him. Also {{spoiler|[[The Dragon|Tenshi]] and Reisen, as [[Unwilling Roboticisation|New Reisen and Miracle Reisen]].}}
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
** "There are ants at your feet. [[Lampshade Hanging|...What, here? Get back to the forest!]]"
** "[[Totally Radical|Dude? That's rad.]]"
* [[Shipper
* [[Shout
* [[Silent Protagonist]]: Reimu has no written lines; Marisa and her other companions do most of the talking.
** {{spoiler|Until the [[The Stinger]] at least.}}
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized]]: {{spoiler|The humans who want to rebel against the youkai's rule aren't portrayed in a positive light. After all, they are led by Porky and if they get what they want, Gensokyo will vanish as the consequence.}}
* [[Time Skip]]: The sequel is set six months after the end of ''Touhou Mother''. {{spoiler|[[It Got Worse]] since then.}}
* [[Took a Level
* [[The Unfought]]: {{spoiler|Porky, Eirin.}}
* [[Unwilling Roboticisation]]: Happens to {{spoiler|Sanae and poor Reisen}}, with the latter sticking better than the former.
** Near the climax, {{spoiler|Reimu, Marisa and Tenshi are put into robotic bodies}}.
** {{spoiler|In the sequel [[Well
* [[Technology Is Evil]]: One of the major conflicts is the forced modernization of Gensokyo.
* [[The Quisling]]: When stuff starts going to hell in Gensokyo, {{spoiler|Kanako, Tenshi, Eirin and Kaguya}} align themselves with {{spoiler|Porky and the Pigmasks}}.
* [[Well
** {{spoiler|The sequel has Yukari bring some of the most powerful youkai in Gensokyo together and forcefully takeing over, under the impression that should humans get any sort of power they will always abuse it.}}
*** {{spoiler|Yukari is willing to do just about anything to protect Gensokyo. [[Face Heel Turn|Even if it means becoming just like Porky.]]}}
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: "a" considers you this by the end, healing you to full before the fight and giving you a strong weapon upon defeat.
* [[What Happened to
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Marisa does most of the calling-out.
* [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]]: Unreasonable Guy... did something!
