TAS Mother 3 GBA in 342:42 by Ross James Miller

[Flamsterette]

I just finished this on Hard Mode. Challenging at first.

[JVlunby]

What a horrifically long and pointless argument. One of you could have just stopped responding.

[gwicks]

Man, I always forget how sad this game is. It's just such an emotionally heavy game!

[sonicfan592]

man how many time did take you upload this?

[SuperDestructionbros]

40:18; wait...*farts* was that you? Just Kidding, it was me XD

[xionisoroku]

The Barrier Trio took way more than 4000HP of damage, what's going on??

[sprocket2005]

@xionisoroku the barrier trio could have 0 hp but won't be defeated until it performs star storm and one final pose.

[xionisoroku]

@sprocket2005 Heh, was wondering about that because you did about ~6,000 damage.

[kumatora0203]

2 hr 14 min in still going in 1 sitting

from lunch to dinner

[Flamsterette]

I just finished this... yeah, it took weeks to finish!

[jet874]

HOW DOES A FUCKING TANK SLIP ON A FUCKING BANANA PEEL!?!?!

[kumatora0203]

@jet874 XD

[sumaru101]

Fighting in the internet is like Terrorism, It doesnt stop

[4535ification]

it takes me weeks to beat this every time i play it........ u sir are amazing :D <3 haha mother 3 is my fav game <3

[SOFProductionsSOFP]

WTF 6 Hours!? Holy shit thats alot of gameplay..the game that plays must have ALOT of time to do this!

[sumaru101]

@SOFProductionsSOFP well if you DONT tas this game it takes weeks to finish o-o

[jet874]

@epickirby ..I'm on your side in this argument ..

[PieJee1]

the 3 people that did not like this TAS were Porky, Fassad and Claus

[OmGuBeR1337pwnz]

Dude the Mr. Passion fight was 100% luck, i mean really all of his attacks missed at 8 hp!

[xterminator069]

no offense, is this game made for little kids 5 and under?

[mistersonic93]

@xterminator069 No, I doubt a game that have someone dying would be for kids

[AgentMidnight]

@xterminator069 people die, theres swearing, lots of depressing shit. Maybe you should check it out yourself sometime

[xterminator069]

@AgentMidnight why is the end boss so childish? he isnt cool. the designer of the game should have himself checked out with a psychiatrist .

[epickirby]

@xterminator069

The end boss?

...Are you being serious?

The one where I dont' know..you fight your own brother and you can't even attack and at the end he suicides is childish?

[xterminator069]

@epickirby i mean that pig looking shit.

[epickirby]

@xterminator069

Most likely because Porky is technically hundreds/thousands of years old and he has the mind of a 10 year old boy.

With Spider Mechs.

That wants to take over the world.

I have no clue where you are getting childish from.

[xterminator069]

@epickirby a thousand year old tard with a mindset of a ten year old. if this is not ridiculous and childish, i dont know what is. why do people take in this crap without putting much thought into how implausible this is. just like those hardcore manga crowd. no thinking required, just what the author says.

[epickirby]

@xterminator069

I'm pretty sure the Mother series is supposed to be ridiculous.

Also not sure why video games suddenly have to be plausible.

..Not trying to come off as rude here.

Also I don't read Manga (Not that you said I did..just sayin)

[xterminator069]

@epickirby no offense, but don't you think games like these are destroying this generation of kids? making kids think isn't a better idea?

[epickirby]

@xterminator069 Kids won't even play this game with the whole "Only released in Japan" Thing unless these kids know all about emulators. And even if they did I don't see what is so wrong with kids playing video games. Not destroying anything.

[xterminator069]

@epickirby kids should learn to think, not getting brainwashed by stupid games.

[epickirby]

@xterminator069 Brainwashe-

My god.

How the hell do games BRAINWASH people?!

[xterminator069]

@epickirby "I'm pretty sure the Mother series is supposed to be ridiculous. Also not sure why video games suddenly have to be plausible." i quoted you on that. suspension of disbelief is a form of brainwash. why would you consciously shut down your brain just to get in tune with the logic of the story? if you can do it for this, you can do it for almost anything else. some kids believed they can fly and fall to death jumping off the roof is just another example of what can happen.

[epickirby]

@xterminator069

yeah...because every time you use your imagination you are brainwashed. Kids jumping off roofs..yeah because that's all video game faults. What about books? Hmm not all of those are plausible. Does that mean by your logic we are being brainwashed by books as well?

[xterminator069]

@epickirby exactly, if people start using their brains, games like this will no longer sell.

[epickirby]

@xterminator069

Ok so your logic says that ANYTHING involving imagination is the worst thing in the world.

Yeah...

[xterminator069]

@epickirby no thinking is required for any kind of imagination.

[epickirby]

@xterminator069 And your point is...?

Kids can use imagination all they want and still be a smart person who knows stuff. and just to prove myself... “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”- Albert Einstein

[xterminator069]

@epickirby true.but serial killers are also very creative.

[epickirby]

@xterminator069

Oh Yes. It's all because IMAGINATION that serial killers kill people! NO

IT'S NOT ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE! Yep all because they use Imagination.

and because last time I said a sarcastic remark you disregarded it this is sarcasm.

[xterminator069]

@epickirby no wonder this country is falling behind. j

[epickirby]

@xterminator069

Let me try to get this straight. The kids in schools and all that jazz are falling behind...because of Imagination. Something that everyone in the world has had for the history of forever?

I think you need to clear some things up. Because you are very mis guided.

[xterminator069]

@epickirby just look at our education. we are like 60th in the world. this shit doesnt work, our kids aint competitive enough because of our shitty culture including shitty games like this

[epickirby]

@xterminator069 14th in the world. And Video Games have NOTHING to do with the education. This whole education thing is somewhat recent (Last 10 ish years) But video games have been around since the late 1970s if I remember correctly. And as I said before no kid is going to play this game. They need to first know it exists, be interested, find the ROM, find the translation patch, then play it.

[xterminator069]

@epickirby why not? video games and movies are more influential than school teachers.

[epickirby]

@xterminator069 Let me quote myself "And Video Games have NOTHING to do with the education. This whole education thing is somewhat recent (Last 10 ish years) But video games have been around since the late 1970s if I remember correctly." and if you're bringing movies into this they have been around even longer.

[xterminator069]

@epickirby your argument is totally irrelevant to the topic. yes both video games and movies influence people. bad game = bad influence. time after time again i have seen proof. why? people are generally dumb. they are sheeple not people.

[epickirby]

@xterminator069 You were saying before that Video games ruined education but the education was only the last 5-10 years while movies/video games were around longer.

And I'm curious. Name one way how video games like this one influenced kids. And don't give me that "Shoot out at schools" crap, Video Games had nothing to do with it.

[xterminator069]

@epickirby it has. never were there school shooting before video games existed.

[epickirby]

@xterminator069

1. So it obviously means that video games caused it. Oh wait. it doesn't.

2. You sir are a big hypocrite with your name referencing the movie "Terminator" But wait! I thought movies and games were EVIL! Also your page has two terminators fucking. That's just not right good sir.

[xterminator069]

@epickirby i know it's evil so i can play on it. you don't, if you play on it, you get burned.

[epickirby]

@xterminator069 I hate to break it to you buddy but that's not how it works. Just because you know it's "evil" doesn't make it fine for you to do. That's like taking a murderer who knows what he is doing is wrong. So that makes it ok if he murders people!

No it doesn't.

And I have no clue what you mean by you get burned.

[noobyvids3]

@xterminator069 best be trolling nigger.

[xterminator069]

@noobyvids3 i am not black asshole.

[noobyvids3]

@xterminator069 still, best be trolling

[rokemon101]

@xterminator069 I don't think Nintendo make many ''bad games''

[toontown2001]

@xterminator069 You do realize that this game has Religious, Sexual content, Drugs, Violence, and Death right?

This game is for at least 14-year-olds plus this game can get intense sometimes and this isn't even the creepiest version!

[toontown2001]

@xterminator069 Also I forgot to add that this game has suicide, Have you ever even played ANY of the mother series its a good series, but im not trying to change your opinion saying video games ruin a childs mind is like saying adults without drugs.

[DiosGX]

@xterminator069 You are the dumbest person.

[xterminator069]

@DiosGX that's a very smart comment, not.

[GamePlayer684]

@xterminator069 if it's made fo 5 years and under , kids with 5 years and under are smarter than you

[Flamsterette]

This thing freezes at 2:20:28

[sprocket2005]

@Flamsterette it didn't freeze for me.

[Flamsterette]

@sprocket2005 Guess I'll have to cue it up and see...

Hmm. Didn't freeze that time. COOL!

[Flamsterette]

Man, this is crazy!

[LightRiolu]

1:55:16 it sounds like boney screamed: WHAT?!

[LightRiolu]

*insert off-topic comment here*

[sprocket2005]

there has been a lengthy debate for months over the translation patch. I made a second TAS of the unpatched (J) version more optimized. either way Mother 3 rules.

[TriggerheartExcelica]

I didn't think they would make an exception for the translation patch.

[NathanWubs]

@TriggerheartExcelica Well it is more the norm that nintendo makes exceptions for patches then anything else. A lot of older games especially on the snes got translated and nintendo did no thing about it.

[TriggerheartExcelica]

@NathanWubs I meant that TASVideos usually prohibits speedruns on patched ROMs without a really good reason. Readability isn't one of them.

[NathanWubs]

@TriggerheartExcelica Well one of the main reason that they do this is because the Original version of the game has more glitches and bugs to exploit. But you are right.

[dogwar13]

I am in Chapter 7, The Seven Needles. I am currently in the lab searching for the second needle. However, I think some kind of glitch happened, because the monkeys disappeared after the scene when they're heading right on F1. I commited suicide, reset the game, and wandered around for hours! Does anybody know what is going on?

Do I have to get a new ROM and redo the game?

[ElevenTSevenable]

@dogwar13 Yeah, the monkeys can get pretty hard to find. Try googling a walkthrough for that part. I had a hard time finding them too. Is this your first time?

Watch this video closely and see if you can follow it.

[dogwar13]

@ElevenTSevenable Already did. You see, after the scene where they run right, you're supposed to head right into the room at the end of the hallway. Normally, a cutscene would occur showing you cornering the monkeys and then being cornered by the big red thing. But that cutscene doesn't activate when I enter the room. The other weird thing is that the big red thing doesn't switch floors! I held fast-forward for five minutes and the big red thing stayed on floor 2.I'm afraid to restart the game!

[dogwar13]

@ElevenTSevenable Actually, never mind. My save file just got corrupted anyways.

[RafaelQueroEntrar]

poor monkey

[toonlink49]

What's the song that plays at 4:07:30?

[wilysmachine]

@toonlink49 Cumbersome Guys

[thomas1999]

The flying mouse attacks at 13:37

[NintendoSegaSonyGuy]

When selecting moves to do in combat, why does the player keep selecting and unselecting stuff? Doesn't that cost time?

[sprocket2005]

@NintendoSegaSonyGuy it manipulates miss/smash/status hits.

[JLW2490]

3 people cannot grasp six hours, five minute, and 16 seconds.

[DriveInTake]

Mother 3 is one of those games that's not too easy to break.

[sagacious03]

2nd longest TAS I know of, & 2nd longest Youtube video I know of. Nonetheless, awesome TAS. & yes I watched all of this in 1 setting(Excluding a few bathroom breaks.). The music for this series is great.

Finally, to the TAS-er, if they're reading, 1 question: What was your favorite part of your terrific TAS of this great game?

[mother3tas]

@sagacious03 ultimate toilet dungeon in both tas'es in 342 and 308

[sprocket2005]

Obsoleted Sept. 19th, 2010

[NekuNeko]

fuck, 6 hours?

[DOGIE3000]

U got 6 fuckin hours on a u tube vid?!!! kool

[Marcotto]

how did u manage to put 6 hours of video?

[sprocket2005]

@Marcotto patience, a non breakable internet connection and limitless time directors account.

[toonlink49]

The song at 8:08 is awesome. They should have put it in brawl.

[sprocket2005]

@toonlink49 there's a song from New Pork City called "Refreshing Toilets" they should've put in Brawl. It's at 4:59:05 I believe.

[iWhiteBot]

I just decided that I HAVE to play this game all over again at december.

I just fell in love with this game the first time I played. :)

[Peachtotheinfinity]

@iWhiteBot Mother 3 is like a beautiful lady only anybody can have her :)

[DriveInTake]

I wonder how many people actually watched all of it without stopping.

[DXfilmzzz]

how long did this take to upload webnations???

[SourApplez1211]

Why is it 6 hours long.

[sprocket2005]

@SourApplez1211 because this game is as glitch proof as they get.

[ssbbguy]

HELL YES

[gamernicholas]

took me like a week to watch, so worth it

[ilostatsolitare]

Interesting to note that the first big spoiler is at exactly 30:00

[MrFool59]

It's even longer than the breath of fire 2 tas

[redflare]

would it be legal to start the game with a New Game+ ??

[Peachtotheinfinity]

@redflare Yes, it would be. There are othere TASes where people did that, like Chronno Trigger for example.

[sprocket2005]

This Winter I'm going to try to shave 40-50 minutes off.

[candybutt56]

@sprocket2005 you rule, man. If you manage to shave that off, try submitting it to TASvideos. You are awesome.

[sprocket2005]

@candybutt56 it's gonna be tricky because this isn't half assed optimized.

[candybutt56]

@sprocket2005 meh, thats the impression i got. i bet you're good enough, tho.

[supaflystrikes]

I'm sorry, but I seriously doubt anyone will watch the whole thing straight through.... Unless they have literally nothing else to do for the next six hours.

[candybutt56]

@supaflystrikes i would...

[ChikikyoKONAMI]

I watched the whole thing.

Best TAS!!

[sprocket2005]

correction it took 2 months to tas and encode and probably 16-18 hours for nations to upload.

[Peachtotheinfinity]

@sprocket2005 you finished that fast!

[Peachtotheinfinity]

@sprocket2005 how many rerecords did it take?

[sprocket2005]

@Peachtotheinfinity 97,347

[GhostSonic]

I always doubted that the save file was right when It said that I had spent over 24 hours playing Mother 3.

Needless to say I don't anymore. Awesome TAS, this must've taken lots of patience. I hope he submits it to tasvideos.

[NitroGenesisTAS]

How big was the file?

[sprocket2005]

@NitroGenesisTAS normal quality like 2g but with this slighty lower quality 1.16g.

[superkeenenbell]

/watch?v=p7PqUdTOqSM

this is the longest video

its 13 fucking hours!!!!

[Ozo194]

awesome?



[dejexa13]

all I ask is why just why is this a speedrun who in the world would sit here playing for 6 hours and why would you want to finish watching it?

[GhostSonic]

@dejexa13 It's a TAS, he didn't play 6 hours straight.

[TrumpetMaster8190]

@GhostSonic

Yeah, overall it probably took like 12 hours to get this 6 hour movie lol

[TrumpetMaster8190]

@sprocket2005

Wow. But hey, the outcome was worth it, right? lol

[candybutt56]

@TrumpetMaster8190 2 months according to him actually

[TrumpetMaster8190]

@candybutt56

I know, he said that earlier in response to my comment. I don't need a reminder.

[sprocket2005]

yeah this is def the longest video on youtube. well tool assisted that is.

[Melatelo300]

6 HOURS! HOLY SHiT! This is the longest damn video i have ever seen on youtube

[leonken1]

[bomber4]

[GarlyleWilds]

I suppose I'll be that sucker who watches this all.

Eventually.

It'll be one of those "Watch a chunk, bookmark, and return" things.

Although I sure didn't expect to see a TAS of this.

[djmix895]

[TAUN170]

@djmix895 Then why would you watch it?

[brawlboy311]

[Ozo194]

@brawlboy311 In 2006-07 you was able to be youtube director and they had unlimited time but the video was able to be 100mb big
