List of characters in Mother 3

This is a list of characters in Mother 3.

Playable characters[]

Permanent[]

Lucas[]

Lucas (リュカ Ryuka) is the main protagonist and a timid young boy who eventually learns PSI powers. Lucas is the son of Flint and Hinawa, and the younger twin brother of Claus. He lives in Tazmily Village with his family and dog Boney. His life deteriorates after the Pigmask Army's actions leave Hinawa to die, Claus to vanish and Flint to abandon Lucas altogether. Following the three-year timeskip, Lucas takes it upon himself to stop the Pigmasks at all costs. He unlocks his PSI powers from Ionia, one of the seven Magypsies. Because Lucas knows PK Love, he is able to pull the seven needles and wake the Dark Dragon which is sleeping under the Nowhere Islands.

Lucas is known to be around the age of 11 or 12 at the end of the game. He has blonde hair, black eyes, a yellow t-shirt with crimson stripes, blue shorts, white socks, and orange sneakers that resemble Converse tennis shoes. He was going to take Ness' place in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but because of the original cancellation of Mother 3, Ness returned for Melee.

Lucas was later made a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He fights with a branch, similar to Ness's bat, as well as his incredible PSI abilities (the same as Ness's with a few differences), and uses Duster's Rope Snake for grabs and throws. His final smash is PK Starstorm, the same as Ness's Final Smash, which is a punishing storm of comets that rain down vertically on the screen. He is voiced by Lani Minella in both English and Japanese versions.

Duster[]

Duster (ダスター Dasutā) is Wess's son and an apprentice thief, skilled at climbing mountainsides and walls using thief's tools known as the "Wall Staples" – giant staples that he carries with him everywhere. The Wall Staples may also be used in battle to temporarily immobilize an opponent. He is first introduced in Chapter 1, and becomes the main protagonist in Chapter 2. He joins Lucas at the end of Chapter 4, Duster gets separated from the group at the end of Chapter 5, but then returns in Chapter 7.

When Duster walks, he appears to limp on one leg. Wess alludes to an incident in his past in which he blames himself for paralyzing Duster's left leg. It is kept regardless of what he is wearing (such as when he is in the guise of a Pigmask). However, he has no difficulty running and moving on staircases, so his leg might not be completely immobile.

Kumatora[]

Kumatora (クマトラ) is the tomboyish princess of Osohe Castle. She is saved by Duster and Wess in Osohe Castle, and joins them in their search for the Hummingbird Egg (an artifact that plays an important role in a later chapter). She joins Lucas during Chapter 4 and remains with him until the end of the game.

She possesses PSI as a result of being raised by a Magypsy. Her hair is also the same reddish color as theirs. what happened to her real parents isn't revealed until Chapter 8.

Boney[]

Boney (ボニー　Bonii) is the family dog initially owned by Flint. He originally helps Flint in Chapter 1, but when Lucas grows up he joins the party as a permanent member. Boney can only equip hats and collars and cannot use PSI attacks. Towards the end of the game the player can find Boney's only weapon, the "Canine Weapon." Gameplay wise, Boney usually attacks first.

Temporary[]

Claus[]

Claus (クラウス Kurausu) is Lucas' older twin, and the son of Flint and Hinawa. Claus is energetic and far more courageous than Lucas, and occasionally plays pranks on his fellow villagers. He makes his first appearance in the Prologue. He is the character with the shortest playabilty span, lasting one mere battle. He disappears after Chapter 1 and his location isn't known until near the end of the game. "Claus" is an anagram of "Lucas".

Flint[]

Flint (フリント Furinto) is the main protagonist of Chapter 1. He lives in Tazmily Village with his dog, Boney, his two sons, Lucas and Claus, and his wife, Hinawa. He is revered as a hero by his fellow villagers, but is somewhat reckless and impulsive. The death of Hinawa and disappearance of Claus have a negative impact on Flint, and he spends three years mourning his late wife at her grave and searching for Claus in the mountains, abandoning Lucas in the process. In Chapter 8, Flint aids Lucas when he confronts the Masked Man, who Flint has deduced as Claus. After Claus commits suicide out of guilt for his wrongdoings, Flint encourages Lucas to forgive his twin brother and pull the final needle.

Flint makes appearances in later chapters, but is only playable in the first. Hackers who have observed the game's code have found that Flint could equip some of Lucas' better weapons in the game. The strongest he can equip is the Mystical Scepter. This may hint that Flint was once intended to be with the gang in the later chapters. This is supported further by Flint appearing in a cutscene from Chapter 5 in the preview of the scrapped EarthBound 64. After Chapter 4, Flint isn't seen for a long time in the game until Chapter 8. As quoted by Nippolyte, he was most likely during Chapters 4-7 continuing his search for Claus in Mt. Oriander.

Salsa[]

Salsa (サルサ Sarusa) is a monkey who is looking for his girlfriend. He is captured and forced to work under Fassad, who frequently punishes Salsa by shocking him with a remote-controlled shock collar. He is freed from Fassad by Kumatora and Wess. Afterwards he begins searching for his girlfriend again, who is being held at the Chimera Laboratory. He resembles the Bubble Monkey from EarthBound.

Tazmily Village Residents[]

Hinawa[]

Hinawa (ヒナワ) is Flint's wife, and the mother of Lucas and Claus. Mother 3 begins with Hinawa, Lucas and Claus visiting her father, Alec, in his house in the mountains north of Tazmily Village. She meets an unfortunate end during Chapter 1, but still plays an important role in the story, as she helps Lucas and his friends in spirit.

Wess[]

Wess (ウェス　Wesu) is Duster's father, who joins Duster in Chapter 2. After Duster steals the wrong artifact from Osohe Castle, Wess goes along to make sure they get the right one. He can throw electric bombs that hit all enemies, but sometimes he'll do nothing. He is playable again to help Salsa in Chapter 3.

Hackers who observed the game's code found that Wess could gain levels at one point in development. Players can alter his level in the Debug Room.

Thomas[]

Thomas

Thomas (トマス　Tomasu) is Tazmily's resident fireman and the owner of the store, Thomas' Bazaar. He joins Flint in Chapter 1. He does basic attacks in battle. He leaves the party after finding Lighter on the ground when Sunshine Forest is on fire. In Chapter 4, Thomas works part-time at the Factory and visits Club Titiboo often. In Chapter 8, he moves to New Pork City with his family, and spends most of his time playing video games in the city's arcade.

Bud and Lou[]

Bud and Lou are two comedians who live in Tazmily Village. They are a Mutt and Jeff-esque pair; Bud is a short man with a pink and white hat, and Lou is a tall man with a bald spot and beady eyes. They work for Lighter until Chapter 4, when they take jobs at the Clayman Factory. In Chapter 8, they have moved to New Pork City, which they slightly regret.

Their names are taken from the famous comedy duo, Bud Abbot and Lou Costello.

Bronson[]

Bronson is the village blacksmith. He is an important character during Chapter 1, he is one of Flint's largest sources of help and often gives him encouragement and moral advice. He also looks out for other Tazmily residents. He is the one who alerts Flint of Hinawa's death. He also was the person who spoke to Flint when he woke up in the jail during Hinawa's funeral, implying he may be the jailer. In Chapter 8, he arrives in New Pork City, where he is one of the Tazmily residents who helps Lucas and company confront Porky.

Jackie is the manager of the Yado Inn in Tazmily Village. He sports short purple hair, and works with Betsy and Tessie. He is rather cowardly and hesitates to lend aid in certain situations. He is somewhat unfriendly, refusing to let Lucas and company stay at the hotel following the three-year timeskip. Towards the end of Chapter 7, Jackie moves to New Pork City, and in Chapter 8, he is in the process of negotiating a business deal with a Mole Cricket.

Betsy[]

Betsy is a plump woman and Jackie's wife and co-owner of the Yado Inn.

Butch

Butch is a fat male who is the brother of Biff and the son of Matt and Jill. He is often seen raising the livestock owned by the family. Early in the game, he made a deal to sell some of his pigs to Fassad, and in turn was paid 50000 DP. Fassad later stole back the money, causing Butch to panic and accuse Duster, as he had only told Duster about his reward and mentioned the fact that Duster was a practicing thief. This created a window of opportunity for Fassad to introduce himself and his Happy Boxes. Butch resembles Pokey in both weight and the overalls he wears.

Ed[]

Ed is a man who wears a black hat and suit. He is the son of Scamp, the husband of Nan, and the father of Alle. At the beginning of the game, he is partially blocking the entrance to the forest to prevent "rubberneckers" like Butch from causing trouble, mimicing an early scene from EarthBound.

Alle[]

Alle is the daughter of Ed and Nan. She has white hair and is younger than Lucas.

Scamp[]

Isaac[]

Isaac

Isaac is the town lumberjack. He plays a helpful role in the first chapter. Inside his house is a box of antidotes which are used to help Flint on his journey. In Chapter 4, he is shown working at the Clayman Factory, and later accepts an invitation to join the Pigmask Army. He is one of the first Tazmily Villagers to move to New Pork City.

Bateau[]

Bateau

Bateau is the town messenger. His house holds of a nest of messenger pigeons. After Tazmily Village modernizes, he stops using pigeons in favor of computers. He sports blonde hair similar to that of Picky Minch in EarthBound. His name is a French word meaning "boat".

Nana[]

Nana is a recluse who strongly resembles Paula Polestar and Ana. She is about the same age as Lucas. She isn't very popular to most of the villagers, because she never stops talking.

Pusher[]

Pusher

Pusher is the mayor of Tazmily Village. The husband of Elmore and father of Ollie, he lives with his family in a large house in the center of town. He has a tense relationship with Flint and Lucas and thinks they are bad for the town's image.

Elmore[]

Elmore is the purple-haired wife of Pusher. Like her husband, she appears to have a grudge against Lucas later in the game, demanding him to leave her family alone.

Ollie[]

Ollie

Ollie is a blonde-haired man with glasses and the adult son of Pusher and Elmore. In the beginning of the game, he spends time in his room writing.

Sebastian[]

Sebastian is the butler of Pusher and Elmore. He plays no major role in the story, which he even admits to himself.

Alec[]

Alec

Alec is Hinawa's father and Lucas and Claus' grandfather. He is a source of moral support for the party and often assists Wess in helping Lucas and company. Of the normal humans, he seems to possess the most knowledge of the Magypsies, as he is good friends with Ionia. He can get quite angry when upset, for example, he calls Lucas an idiot when he finds out Lucas didn't try to stop Claus.

He joins Flint in Chaper 1 to find Claus, and later on refuses to get rid of the drago that killed his daughter.

Mapson[]

Mapson

Mapson, like his name suggests, is a geographical master who knows most places on Nowhere Island and circles them on your map. He seems to live with the mayor, but the relation between him and the mayor's family, if any, is unclear.

Leder[]

Leder

Leder is the bell-ringer of Tazmily Village, recognized for his very tall height. He is a silent character, never sayng a word. He plays a more significant role in the story during Chapter 8, revealing the events prior to the game to Lucas and company, as well as the reason why he never speaks. His name comes from the word "Leader."

During the eighth chapter, he can be found imprisoned in a room where he speaks about the destruction of the world, how people escaped to the Nowhere Islands on a ship and had erased their memories; he was the one responsible with remembering this, and to protect this secret, he became a mute and rang the bell in Tazmily to keep everyone's memories from reverting. There is also a Stinkbug present in the room, of which he asks it to remember his words. The insect joins the party as a Key Item until the end of the game, recapping the history of the Nowhere Islands if you ask it to.

Nippolyte[]

Nippolyte

Nippolyte is the village gravekeeper. He dug the grave for Hinawa and puts up with zombies. He also secretly takes care of the garden in front of Osohe Castle. His shack is eventually destroyed by lightning from the Thunder Tower as punishment for Nippolyte not buying a Happy Box. In Chapter 7, he gives the Courage Badge which he got from Flint to Lucas.

Mike[]

Mike is an old man with brown hair and a colorful hat. He appears to be the grandfather of Nichol and Richie, likely through Thomas' side, as he somewhat resembles him. In the earlier chapters, he works in the bazaar and also makes nut cookies (which he describes as dirty and not very tasty). In later chapters, he lives in the retirement home, complaining that his grandchildren have not visited him. He claims to be happy as he has lots of "able-bodied" girls like Linda and Nan near him, causing Linda to walk in and explain that what he said was sexual harassment. Strangely enough, though Mike is a named character he does not appear in the cast credits at the end of the game.

Magypsies[]

The Magypsies are the oldest residents of the Nowhere Islands, able to live for several hundreds of years and possess PSI powers. They dress in feminine clothing, appear to have facial hair and masculine figures, refer to themselves as women, but are considered to be genderless. Their homes are pink shells which resemble the houses of Magicant in EarthBound Beginnings. Their names are based on the modes of the diatonic scale.

Aeolia[]

Aeolia

Aeolia is the lead Magypsy, who lives on the outskirts of Tazmily Village. Not much is said about Aeolia, although the character seems to possess more knowledge of Osohe Castle than the other Magypsy, and has a Needle found in the back courtyard of Osohe Castle.

Doria[]

Doria is the most empathetic Magypsy, being the only one in the group to sympathize with Alec in his search for Claus in Chapter 1. Doria's Needle is at the bottom of a pond in the Violet Forest.

Lydia[]

Lydia is a very sympathetic Magypsy, who looks after several rabbits at home in the snowy mountain. After the pulling of his needle and his eventual disappearance, a pigmask can be found in his shell caring for his rabbits as repayment for saving his life. Lydia's Needle is at the summit of the snowy mountain.

Phrygia[]

Phrygia is a Magypsy, self-proclaimed to be much more serious than the others, who resides near the volcano and sleeps most of the time. Phrygia's Needle is inside the volcano.

Mixolydia[]

Mixolydia lives on Tanetane Island with an assistant, Ocho (Hachi in the official Japanese version), who is an octopus (his name in Japanese means "eight," and to an extent, in English as well, referring to his tentacles). While Lucas and friends are hallucinating on mushrooms in Chapter 7, Mixolydia appears as a young blonde and Ocho her handsome assistant. Mixolydia's needle is on a mountaintop on Tanetane Island.

Ionia[]

Ionia

Ionia is the most recurring Magypsy, who teaches PSI to Lucas and briefly joins the party towards the beginning of Chapter 7. She watched over Kumatora as she grew up after the death of both of her parents. Ionia's Needle is in the Chupichupyoi Temple.

Locria[]

Locria is the seventh Magypsy who, after betraying the Magypsies, begins working for The Pig King, and adopts the identity of Fassad. Never seen as a Magypsy during the game's events, the implications are later found near the end of the game when Lucas discovers a coif, a pair of horns, and banana peels in an unoccupied Magypsy home in New Pork City's Empire Porky Building. Locria's needle is under New Pork City, and is said to be directly embedded in the Dark Dragon's head.

Pig King Empire[]

King P a.k.a. Porky Minch[]

The Pig King, referred to more generally as "King P," is the leader of the Pigmask Army and the one responsible behind the strange Ultimate Chimera appearing on the Nowhere Islands. He is the main antagonist of the game. He is never seen in public, leaving his identity as a mystery. He is revealed to be Pokey Minch, who after escaping in EarthBound, has aged an unknown number of years due to a side effect of time travel, which he has abused to a great extent, and has become trapped in this current time period and dimension. Through some side effect of his heavy abuse of time travel, Pokey effectively became immortal (albeit bedridden, left in a static near-death state) – Porky himself comments that he could be a thousand or even ten thousand years old by the time Lucas meets him, but he doesn't even know anymore. His hair and skin are discolored (to shades of white and gray, respectively,) in a way reminiscent of his appearance in the first stage of EarthBound final boss battle against Giygas. Although he has aged many years, his mind apparently never aged with him, as he still retains the immaturity and cowardice that he displayed throughout his childhood.

During the last chapter, Porky constructs a highly advanced city, claiming himself to be the ruler of the world, and relocates the people of the Nowhere Islands to the city. This city, New Pork City, resembles a giant amusement park and is filled with images of young Pokey, most notable of them all being a giant stone statue topped with a crown. New Pork City holds many references to his past life in EarthBound. The room leading to his throne room contains a boat ride through a museum of sorts containing various objects from the previous game, including the Phase Distorter and Pokey's original spider mech.

After he is defeated in combat, Porky encapsulates himself and his mecha bed in the "Absolutely Safe Capsule," a completely indestructible device invented by Dr. Andonuts, which Porky intended to use as a safe haven during an emergency. However, Dr. Andonuts cleverly designed it so that nothing could ever enter or exit the machine upon activation, thus dooming Pokey to spend eternity in isolation.

New Pork City also appears as a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In addition to a viking ship ride which can be used as a platform, the stage presents most of the city's layout in the background, including Porky's statue. The Ultimate Chimera occasionally spawns in the area and wanders around. Anyone who touches the Chimera is bitten and sent flying at an incredible speed. The attack is survivable, but only under the rarest circumstances in an area where the player has many platforms to collide with and dampen his momentum.

In addition, Porky appears in The Subspace Emissary as a high ranked member of the Subspace Army. His role was controlling a giant King P. Statue that chases Lucas, and he himself is later fought as a boss in his spider mech, apparently somehow freed from the "Absolutely Safe Capsule."

Fassad[]

Fassad (Yokuba) has a high position in the Pigmask Army. He has a love for bananas and frequently laughs in a "Nwehehehehe" style. He forcefully joins Salsa in Chapter 3 and frequently abuses him with an electric collar. In battle, he can deal attacks which are considerably stronger than Salsa's, but at other times he simply uses Salsa's shock collar, dealing light damage. He dresses in an Arabian style and has a pet mouse in which he cares for. He usually drops banana peels whenever finishing a banana. He becomes a cyborg later on in the game after falling off Thunder Tower, which resulted losing his voice and his mouth is replaced by two horns, which his personal robot translator can translate from. After his second battle with Lucas and the gang in the New Pork City sewers, he says to the party that he is tired of fighting and refuse to fight anymore, his cybernetic implants exploded and fell in the sewer water.

In Chapter 8, it is revealed that Fassad is the seventh and final Magypsy, Locria.

Pork Trooper[]

The Pork Trooper is a muscular Pigmask who is usually seen flirting with women or bossing his subordinates around. He is a die-hard fan of DCMC, appearing at every concert and having lots of merchandise in his base. Like all Pigmasks, using DCMC goods on him during battle will distract him.

Masked Man[]

The Masked Man is a mysterious masked man who appears during the final scene of fifth chapter of Mother 3. He is the only other person besides Lucas capable of removing the Seven Needles. He attacks with a lightning sword, a beam gun and some PSI powers; he also has the ability to destroy PSI Shields and use mechanical wings to fly away. He works under Pokey and never says a word in the story.

Mr. Brown[]

Mr. Brown is a Pigmask Captain who manages the Clayman Factory. He gives Lucas a part-time job in the factory, in order for Lucas to receive tickets for Club Titiboo. He is one of the only Pigmask-affiliated characters who shows a friendly attitude towards Lucas and company.

He can be revisited throughout the game until the eventual shutdown of the factory, where he leaves a letter with a song written by him on it for the factory.

His final appearance is in Chapter 8, where he appears in the elevator room in the first floor of Empire Porky Building where he reveals to have stumbled across the Doorknob, claiming to have thrown it as hard as he could out of frustration.

DCMC[]

The DCMC is a popular music band in Mother 3. Their catchphrases are "Tondagossa," a greeting, and "Nantekodda," a farewell. The name is a play with the Australian band AC/DC and American hip hop trio Run-DMC. DCMC stands for Desperado Crash Mambo Combo.

OJ[]

The band's frontman, OJ plays the saxophone.

Magic[]

Magic

He plays the electric guitar.

Baccio[]

He plays the drums.

Shimmy Zmizz[]

He plays the electric piano. His name is a play on musician Jimmy Smith. He also appears to be an insensitive Stevie Wonder imitation.

Other characters[]

Osohe Ghosts[]

Osohe Ghost

Osohe Ghosts are generic ghosts which reside on Osohe Castle, who appear as both friends and enemies. All they do in the afterlife is have parties (which one of the ghosts appears to detest), and as a result they are in a perpetual state of intoxication. They can be seen feasting and playing music in Osohe Castle's banquet hall. Towards the end of Mother 3, the ghosts are found to have been cramped by Pigmasks into one of the restrooms at the Empire Porky Building in New Pork City.

Item Guy[]

The Item Guy is a traveler who pulls a wagon behind him, he acts as an item storage and will store the party's unwanted items. He appears frequently during the game, being in almost every location the party visits.

Dr. Andonuts[]

Dr. Andonuts appears in the Chimera Laboratory hiding in a trash can as the Ultimate Chimera ravages the building. After the Chimera is deactivated, Andonuts helps the party drain a lake to reach one of the Seven Needles. It is revealed that Pokey Minch kidnapped Dr. Andonuts and forced him to do experiments on the animals and plants of the Nowhere Islands and create various machines and things (such as the Ultimate Chimera) for the Pig Army's use.

Dr. Andonuts was also a key character in EarthBound and the father of one of the chosen four, Jeff Andonuts.

Okera[]

Okera is a mole cricket who claims to be a strong fighter, serving as the battle tutorial for Lucas in the game's Prologue. He is beaten quite easily and promises to meet Lucas again in the Mole Cricket Arena. Lucas actually arrives there during Chapter 7, where he quickly defeats Okera again. After this, Okera accepts he is not a fighter and becomes a salesman instead, appearing in various places throughout the game to sell equipment and items.

Clayman[]

Claymen are the main workforce in the Pig King Empire. They are given jobs of manual labor such as digging, lifting and sometimes fighting. They are mass-produced from clay and powered by electricity, and need to be recharged every so often. An inactive clay guy can be quickly revived through any strong jolt of electricity.

Ultimate Chimera[]

The Ultimate Chimera is a creature created in the Chimera Laboratory during Chapter 7. Like its name implies, it is indestructible and can defeat the player instantly by merely being touched. Instead, it needs to be avoided and ran from. It has a button on its back which switches it off, but the bird on its head could simply press the button again to revive it. It appears again in the toilets during Chapter 8, still undefeatable.

The Ultimate Chimera appears on the New Pork City stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and true to the series, almost any character who gets touched will instantly be knocked out. Chances of surviving this are practically unlikely, but are possible. Though the button is visible on its back, it serves no purpose unlike in Mother 3. However, the Ultimate Chimera can be defeated in Brawl by destroying the bridge while the Ultimate Chimera is on it, causing it to fall through and off the stage.

Mr. Saturn[]

The Mr. Saturn from EarthBound return in Mother 3, in another Saturn Valley on the Nowhere Islands. They do not appear to be as inventive as the populous of EarthBound, but give the player the choice of riding on a transport vehicle they made, Mr. Saturn's Tea Table, and in a redesigned Pork Bean.

The table also makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Lucas enters using this item, quickly dismounts, and starts the fight. (info needed) and company cross pits by allowing him to grasp candlesticks on the wall. Rope Snake also is used later to grab the getaway ship atop Lightning Tower, but cannot support the weight of four people, must let go, and is captured along with Duster in Saturn Valley (hung on a clothes line). After the party flies back to Tazmily Vill

Drago[]

Drago

Drago is a dinosaur creature which is friends with the residents of Tazmily Village. There are several Dragos but the main one is seen with his wife and son, named Drago Jr. He appears in the prologue to show players how to dash and takes on a more important story role during Chapter 1, when he is turned into a chimera by the Pigmasks.

Save Frogs[]

Save Frogs

Save Frogs appear in various places, and will save the player's progress or hold Dragon Power (the game's currency) for them. They replace the telephones and ATMs from Mother and EarthBound.

Dark Dragon[]

The Dark Dragon is a creature which resides underneath the Nowhere Islands. For an unexplained reason, humans and the Dark Dragon became unable to coexist and the Magypsies sealed him into the Earth with the Seven Needles. Apparently, it will obey specific individuals who have the power to lift the Needles and have the Dark Dragon reflected in their hearts.

At the game's climax, the Dark Dragon is summoned by Lucas, who requests it to protect all living things. Although it is never shown, the Dark Dragon submits to Lucas' request and begins to turn things back the way they were before Porky Minch and the Pigmask Army altered everything, and everyone apparently lives the rest of their lives in peace.
