  • What an incredibly bittersweet ending. You save the world by being the one to pull the needle instead of the brother whos soul was locked away, and you're rewarded with the world falling apart in an apocalypse of natural disasters and fire to be re-created.

  • *me playing mother 3* Man I can't wait for the ending, I sure hope Porkey dies!

    *me watching Mother 3 ending* Wait, whi isn't it..WTF...NOOOOOOOO

    *me after ending* ....wtf bro?

  • when i saw this i was like wait i thought i was ment to save the wrold this dosen't look like saving lol so i was like maybe theresa second ending where i don't pull the needle so i didn't pull it and it made me do it any way so i guess the idea is your destroying the old wrold so it could be reborn a new

  • This ending traumatized me for quite a few years... :(

  • @ThePuddingToter But it's actually a happy ending o_o if you see at the very end it says everyone survived, but the machines disappeared from the world (machines = Porky), why did you got traumatized? xD

  • Theres a true ending i believe But idk what ya have to do...

  • @Zackinblack19 You move around. Using the control pad.

  • @Zackinblack19 This is the only ending, bro...

  • 2:45 I heard the Duster theme...

  • Ehh... Why does everyone say Lucas kills Claus? I suppose he does indirectly, but Claus really kills himself.

    Their mother tells Claus to come to her, so he shoots the lightning attack at Lucas, knowing it would bounce back and hit him (as he had already shot Lucas before, at the start of their battle). Lucas just happened to have the Franklin badge, so it reflected back at Claus, killing him.

    Meh, maybe I'm missing something. Love this game (/series).

  • And he killed his own brother for that...

  • @Lamineko ...To save the world from all darkness.

    At the end it says everyone survived, but all the machines disappeared... ... ...I think he had a good reason to kill Claus.

  • @Melkac

    Meh

  • @Lamineko ...Nice answer

  • WHY THIS HAPPND?!

  • @MrRage71 The dragon got rid of all evil in the world (Porky's machines), everyone survived :P except the...deads of course.

  • E-N-D

  • @JuacogbXD123 Shut up you idiot -_-

  • @JuacogbXD123 No it won't. thats is some made story. -_-

  • @dittogoop Sorry, many people made so many jokes about 2012 so i started believing it and tried to be funny.

  • @dittogoop I was only trying to be funny.

  • this is without a doubt the most twisted and disturbing story ive ever heard of.

  • What happened to the Pigmasks in the plane? I need that closure!

  • And so, the boy who had been searching for the Truth of his broken shattered Past finally grasps his light. With his dying breath, he entrusts everything, his life, his hope, with the boy who had been reaching for the Ideal of the hopeful Future. The Dark Dragon is awakening, purging the world with Fire and Lightning. In the end, the world plunges into an apocalyptic reset ~ "thank you," whispers the boy.

  • We have begun third impact.

  • Take a melody....

    Simple as can be.....

    Give it some words and....

    Sweet harmony....

    raise your voices....

    All day long now, love grow strong now....

    Sing a melody of....

    Love.....oh love.

  • for no reason at all I always feel like muting the sound during the "Awakening of the Dragon" and playing the Oath to Order (from Majora's Mask) in my media player.

  • When Shigesato Itoi was asked about possibilities of making Mother 4 he said "no", and that mother 3 was hard enough for him to develop. The same goes for Mother 2 being in production for about 5 years. But all the games received critical acclaim, so I wonder why is it so difficult for them to get a big funding budget and enough man power to create a full fledged sequel on a real (not handled) console?

  • Most beautiful apocalypse ever :'(

  • Lucas's life should be in that emergen-c orange juice commercial

    Lucas: So what's going to happen to me today?

    Hinawa: Well, some fat kid is going to turn a drago into a machine and it will kill me...

    Claus: I'm going to get killed as well, but reanimated by porky as a mindless robot, then i'll kill myself...

    Flint: and im going to go missing for half of the game to find your brother, who's already dead, then brainwashed.

    Lucas: Hm, good thing i got my orange juice.

  • Everything must end at one point. It's better if it does when people's hearts become too greedy and corrupt...

  • It's called the horrible Giygas!

    Once upon a time, there was a horrible villain! He was so horrible that even PORKY died!

    The end!

  • i felt like i was going to cry...then porkys flying thingy got hit...and i cheered

  • You are STUPID. Walk SHIT. You must WALK in the END SCREEN SHIT. You STUPID. STUPID.

  • @FreyTheRonin He can do whatever the hell he wants, now go and kill yourself you low IQ'd troll.

  • @FreyTheRonin Either you have Tourette's, or you're just stupid. I don't pity you either way.

  • Everyone dies. The end.

  • Why Ended Like This?

  • I watch this video and think....theres too much violence in our World! And the day comes when the Earth will be destroyed from the cause of Humans! Luca's Mother & Brother die, the world is corrupt, Lucas suffers from enough battling and search for the needles....and yet his World is destroyed! Unlike Mother 1 & 2, where no one died....Mother 3 is different and like what we may experience in our lives....pain, misery, death, violence and destructions T.T

  • just playthrough (not walkthrough) from mother1 to 3 by yourself, you'd be really into this story. I can tell the Mother series are the best.

  • wtf is so great about this game??? o.O why does every nostalgic retro gamer mentions this in the forums o>O, not to bash or anything, but ive seen better jrpgs

    recommend me great mind blowing jrpg's to play btw, i miss the genre of the 90's, rpgs where everywhere!

  • @Dragoon70dmg Unlike most RPG's this has a very complex storyline and it's very emotional. Even if there are better Rpg's, I still stick to this one ecause of the story.

  • @msh11201996 ive seen the walkthrough, theres nothing complex about it, maybe u could direct me parts where it gets "complex"? o_O

    i think Chrono Trigger has a more moving story

  • @Dragoon70dmg Just the fact that in the final battle, your mother starts speaking to you and the masked man who's your brother. Your brother hits himself (He knew about the franklin badge) with a massive bolt to save ou from him. Not to mention you learn that the world ended a long tim ago and that the nowhere islands was a place where people on the white ship came to forget about their past lives and they created fake stories to make themselves believe that they were on the islands forever.

  • @Dragoon70dmg It might not be complex for you, but it really touched me. Chrono Trigger is also pretty good, but in my opinion, I would stick to Mother3.

  • @msh11201996 And the ending is unlike anything i've seen.

  • I wonder how the Light Dragon would do this and where it is? I know there is one,referenced from the shrine in the church of Tazmilly.

  • I can't help but ask, Who the hell is Thsu, and why does he suck?

  • People were already too corrupted by porky and the dragon thought that the way to solve this was to start all over again.

  • Well, they could be in the afterlife... But that's just the mystery of the game.

  • Nobody dies! If you press a button after the "END?" screen, it tells you what happens.

  • EVERYONE DIED.

    The End.

  • @lilprogamer

    ...

    That didn't help at all...

  • Claus' death is sad an all, likewise the world seemingly being destroyed but for me the last few seconds of the credits are finally what did me in. Seriously am I the only one who found the end of the credits the most touching part?

  • wtf are people stupid. the world didnt get destroyed.

  • @ballin7077 wtf are you so stupid. u.u Mr. Itoi said it's up to the player to deside whether the world got destroyed or not. I personally think the worl was destroyed to get rid of all evil, then rebelt. That way it just it just proves what the game was trying to point out. Human's are not invincible. Were the ones who cause the earth's destruction every time. Just like how's it's happening to us right now on earth.

  • @ZeratheWolf it didnt get destroyed. period. everyone is alive and well and this video is deceiving because it doesnt show the ending. learn how to spell, though.

  • @ballin7077 Uuuuh... Did you even see what I wrote? :P Mr Itoi said himself, if you want to have the world destroyed, you can. Mother games are all about the fan's to make the decision's. Besides just because it show's all the character's talking, it never tells us where the are. They could just as easily be in the newly created world or even in the afterlife!

  • @ZeratheWolf thats fine. i was replying to the top rated comment that said the world ended only.

  • You guys do know that the game dosen't end like that?

    After the game is though this part, and The End shows up, you can walk around and the people will congradulate you (I know I misspelt that) and talk about how they all lived. If you really wanna see, look for the ROM and the English Patch for it.

  • I've choosed "No" and...

    LUCAS PULLED THE NEEDLE!!! (T-T)

  • Edit: Am I

  • I'm I the only one who watched this video who knows that there is a secret ending proving that there could be a mother 4?

  • Mother 3DS :D

  • 19 people failed to geet off the pork ship

  • This is the most emotional, yet horrid series of video games ever.  Theres just too much death and sadness.

  • @SammySega

    Because the game gets too depressing.

  • @ssw11

    Indeed that should have happened. It didn't.

  • @RpgKrazy32

    The real ending doesn't even provide us reassurance that the people are alive. No, for all we know, they could be in the afterworld, although in Heaven.

  • This isn't the actual ending. If you wait for a little while at that last screen it will show the real one.

  • Isn't there an alternate ending or something were the people thank you, saying that they were still alive n' stuff?

  • Freeza: wahaha take that u stupid monkey now you only got 5 minites before the earth blows up!!!

  • What happens if u don't pull that "needle" thing out? o.o

  • @MinnaSensei Lucas still pulls it anyway

  • @BowserDragon1 A drago killed Hinawa(His mom)

  • Holy crap flint was bald!

  • flint looks like a real face when he doesnt have his hat on

  • claus gave his final breath...

    flint- lucas...thank you, claus was just hasty thats all. you'll forgive your hasty brother, wont you? Alright...this it. the time has come for you to pull the dragon's last needle. r u ready?

    both hinawa and claus have entrusted faith 2 you. belive in ur self and pull that needle nothing needs to be sealed anymore. lets make that dragon our new friend. pass ur heart to the dragon! pray 2 it from the bottom of ur heart. ask it 2 protect all life in this world

  • @emmeg516

    continued-

    me and everyone else.. we all belive in you. so now you have to belive in yourself. now go, the dragon is waiting to wake up

    your live, and the lives of all who belive in you... will you put it all on the line... and pull the final needle?

    yes

  • Comment removed

  • what happend to porky he was in an absouloutly safe capsule...so technicaly he won right?

  • @JOREX11 To an extent, he got exactly what he wanted. He won in his own twisted way, as he could never escape the capsule for all eternity, and be floating in space even after the world ended with no way to die...

    But that's what he wanted.

  • @Hocotatium111 but think of how pissed hes gonna be when he finds out theres a new world

  • I actually think it would have been a more emotional and better ending if the world was destroyed. That was the answer to everybodies problems anyways...the Island was so screwed up because of people, and if it was just totally destroyed and nobody lived, it would make more sense, and (even though I want more of it) people might be okay with that ending the Mother series because there's just nothing left. No life. No giygas or Pokey, no nothing.

  • @DarkRedShyGuy The end of claus, and the sacrifices made would lose emotional impact if everyone just died. and it wouldn't make sense either.

  • oh and yoshi's voice is at 2:01 to 2:2

  • i think it shows lucas' skeleton at 1:09

  • No crying until the end...

  • at 3:29 i was like, HELL YEAH! KISS MY @** PIGMASKS!!

  • You know, I wonder if this is where Blizz got the idea for Cataclysm. An ancient dragon rising up from underground and reshaping the world with volcanoes and earthquakes? Sounds familiar.

  • But they don't die they talk at the end after this part

  • @Armidillodude Sadly,no they don't... not in my copy.

  • how many of you have actually played the game? no everyone didnt die the person who made this video didnt show the full ending. Theres a reason he didnt reach the credits. Everybody lives in the end and the world is as perfect as ever. Try moving around at the End? screen.

  • 3:30

    serves ya right pigmasks!

  • this game is so great

  • Geez. The Dark Dragon should lose weight. (I hope it wont kill me)

  • ...so....everyone died?

  • yup

  • Just finished the game. Pretty good. Not as good as Mother 2/Earthbound but it had timed hits and the story was much more emotional. It was a little easy and short. Was there any need for money? And half of the PSI never really got used. Learned PK Ground towards the end and it was useless. Once I learned PK Thunder and Starstorm, there was no need for Ice anymore. Not to mention PK Fire. Can't remember last time i used that. There are other flaws but overall, it was damn good for a VBA game.

  • @snizshizzle The money WAS needed for a good reason, Ice was still useful after thunder and starstorm, and PK fire was useful too!

    PK Ground is an overpowered move when used on bosses, so they give you it later. Mother 3 is as long as, if not longer than Earthbound.

  • As much as I love the mother series, the absolutely retarded nature of most of its fanbase is what ticks me off.

  • @LordBababa1 those are called mother wores, much of them rely on theories made by other fans and they are pretty annoying

  • FYI, they released a English patch. And if you don't feel any emotion during this, YOU HAVE NO SOUL.

  • @Brettsbutter

    you suck my dear.

  • @Brettsbutter Your grammer sucks. If you hate this game then don't watch dumbass.

  • @Brettsbutter and youre a tard that dont know what jogability and soundtrack and dont even know how to write corectly! the type of people like you can never understand the true basics of a game, the graphics is only one of then!

  • Does anybody know the name for the song that starts at 1:44? I need to know!! It gives me goose-bumps.

  • @BringinTheCody I'm with u that ending wax shit!

  • @Brettsbutter dude go fuck yourself noob

    comparing mother 3 to that pokemon shit.....

    DO U HAVE A FUCKIN PROBLEM?

  • @darkhedgehog45678 Mother 3 looks good. But don't compare to Pokemon, man!

  • @SuperMario4599 WTF?? Pokemon can kiss this game's beautiful ASS! The plot,music,gameplay,everything is superior,and yet Nintendo won't release this masterpiece in US....Instead they give us tons of boring pokemon...

    Go play it and see for yourself!!!

  • @darkhedgehog45678 Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you? I didn't insult your family or anything XD

  • @Brettsbutter Mother 3 is 20 times better than pokemon and Mother 2/Earthbound was 20 times better than Mother 3, if that explains anything to you.

  • My theory: I think everyone on the Nowhere Islands survived because of the Egg of Light that Duster was carrying with him during the whole game.The item description said:''Its power could destroy or create an entire world.''So probably the Egg of Light was ''activated'' when the Dark Dragon woke up,thus saving everyone.Including you.

  • I just beat the game myself.. and i had to make sure i was seeing the right ending. I just played like 24 hours of game time to see myself blow up the world, what i was trying to save. WORST ENDING EVAH

  • It doesn't need to make sense It's Mother 3! If they miraculously survived that calamity, take their word for it. "Thanks Lucas now I can sleep peacefully since the world is sav- FUUUUU-" (falls into a fault while wandering in darkness)

  • I didn't like the ending for this game. I didn't feel like there was any closure what so ever.

  • Lol pigmasks at 3:16. You cannot grasp the true form of 2012

  • There will be no Mother 4, Shigesato Itoi said so. Get your facts right.

  • @MrSaturn33 no he said there arent any plans for mother 4 and said he doesnt want to just drop the idea for it so maybe theres hope for mother 4

  • also a fan made game is plan to be made

  • He destroyed the world along with all evil, but the induviduals with love and kindness were saved and brought out into the the beautiful new world.

  • all people die?

  • @NindofreakOriginal No, a new world is created after Earth blew up!

  • My theory: The Dark Dragon was supposed to save the island. But the Dragon realized that the only way to save the island and the people was to destroy it because it was so screwed up. Then, he created a new island.

  • @Waluiginumberone I think it was more along the lines of:

    Lucas got to have his wish granted by the Dragon, and he wished that all the greed and corruption in the world was gone. The only way to do that was to destroy everything and start anew.

  • @Waluiginumberone

    Somewhere in the game magypsy said that "Dragon can reborn the life"

    I forgot..haven't played Mother 3 for a month or two

  • @Waluiginumberone

    what, like noah's ark shit?

  • @qiman2 Um...no...

  • @Waluiginumberone then evryone who died like his brother and his mother and evryone else gained a body again and lived hapily on the new island :)

  • @Waluiginumberone Or maybe when Lucas saw Claus dying, his heart turned evil from sorrow and the dragon sided with him to destroy the island?

  • @SMW8765 Well, why would everybody be OK at the end? They didn't just all die.

  • @Waluiginumberone Well maybe they were dead. But in like heaven or something. But maybe your right.

  • @Waluiginumberone

    I'm thinking Porky will find a way to get out of there. Somehow trick the Dragon into believing he is good. Porky will live on.

    Then again, wouldn't mind a whole new antagonist for the 4th.

  • @KomicTurtle Actually...why do you suppose they put him in the safe pod thingy....they HAVE to make a mother 4!

  • @Waluiginumberone

    Yes, the island was practically screwed, so he remade the island

    That is both cool and sad :C

  • For those of you saying the ending sucks, this isnt the full ending. When it says "End?", you are able to walk around and...well, I will not spoil it but play it and you'll see ^^

  • 16 people doesn't have hearts!

  • @ShadowBlissey FINALLY someone gets it

  • 1:26

    Lucas: ok then, that settles it!

    OMGWTF MY FACE!!! MY FACE!!!!

  • this isn't possible!

    This can't be the real ending!

  • The Game was epic, but the ending....when the island sinks.....was totally bullshit!

    we pull out the needle to save the island!

    but no....no matter who pull the last needle, the island sinks....the ending makes me sick....honestly....

  • @RandyTheZeldaFan Have you played the game? That's not the real ending. Something else happens. Not going to spoil it. Send me a PM if you want to know.

  • "He was just hasty...

    You'll forgive your hasty brother..

    won't you?"

    That line, and watching everything you knew crumble into oblivion as the island slowly sinks into the sea make me cry.

    This game is stunning.

  • @noeyedeer2jk89sx one of the best games and rpg games ever am i right? this was the only game i remember either crying or wanted to cry from honestly best nintendo franchise and RPG by them not like pokemon

  • @noeyedeer2jk89sx what are you talking about. the dragon didnt destroy anything after lucas pulled the final needle.

  • @ballin7077

    They might be talking about the first incident with the dragon. The one that the tall guy talked about.

  • @QuesoGr7 he wasn't. read it. i was replying to the top rated comment and he has the ending confused. didnt move his control pad when the end screen came.

  • why did it end like that? wow

  • @nowitski2 OH MY GOD. I think you're the troll. Does anyone realize i was joking about that comment?? I'm not THAT supid. If their destiny was really to end the world, then the good forces had to do it (Lucas in this case). It's like God and Noah. The world was ended by good forces (God) to help it start again (Noah) as a pure world. OMG. I was trying to be funny. And if you thought it WASN'T funny, then why don't you accept it was stupid and move on instead of making an uproar about it?

  • @supornerdy BTW...Sarcasm is something you CANT do on the internet.

  • @nowitski2 BTW...If you post a joke to the internet you cant insert sarcasm, yet we laugh at the joke anyway. Do you really need sarcasm to MAKE something funny? If you couldn't tell it was a joke, then obviously you wouldnt laugh at it, and think it was a serious comment. Hence your/my TROLLING.

  • wow. so we were the evil side. once we pulled all of the things the world got destroyed...So Claus was good? HOLY CRAP HEADACHE!!!

  • I didn't like the ending. Even with the whole walking around in the darkness, I wasn't satisfied. You can't just show the player 4 minutes of exploding and sad music, only to have someone say "Oh hi, your ___player name___? Yea were all alive =D" NO! That didn't cut it for me! They should've at least showed lucas and his close friend with the dragon or something to SHOW that they were alive! Hell I didn't even know who I was talking to in the dark--ugh >=[

  • @SwordXSlayer The point is the dragon used the power of lucas' good heart to rid their world of evil. They were meant to be unharmed.

  • so basically, you have to go through that whole quest, destroy all those monsters, just to see the world destroyed.

    woooww, really grateful, huh?

  • @NibblesAndCasino How many fucking more time do i have to explain... the dragon destroys all the evil and leaves the people of tazmily to live the lives they deserve. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS AFTER "THE END"

  • These people are oblivious.. If you beat the game yourself, you would know that everyone was okay in the end. The nowhere islands where destroyed, probably to destroy all evil, which was Lucas' wish..

  • Actually, The FAN MADE Mother 4 is currently in development. Visit h1tp://mother4.dcmsoftware.n3t­/ for more information.

  • I think it's an interesting ending, not everything has to end happily!

  • In the description it said it was the beginning of mother 4. I don't remember a mother 4 planned to be made! So is mother 4 already out or is planned?

  • who's thsu?

  • It doesn't end at "End?". Once you reach that point, you have to walk to the right [In the dark] until you hit dialogue. Then you keep walking around and talking to random people in the dark until they show you the real credits.

  • You know... this is the only time that the end of the world was reassuring.

    Only in context of the final battle, of course

  • The Apocalypse

  • THis is the most saddest videogame ending ever...

  • dang all that just to wake up a dragon

  • @megaawsomeaustin Either that or all that happens because you didn't.

  • i just think this game has a horible ending. this game is rated E (i think) and the world ends?!

  • @ThisIsIran Make sure you play up until the actual end if you haven't already...that wasn't the true ending.

  • You have to press buttons after the game's credits to see the real ending...

    First, it will say "End?", press buttons to reveal what happens afterwards & the screen will simply display "End"...

  • uh happy ending or is it this? "once upon a time random things happened then the world blew up the end"?

    

  • That was a horrible ending, Hinawa is dead, there's no backtracking for things like the Battle Memory, Claus is dead, Tazmily is FIN, and Nowhere Island is kaput. And where's this dragon. The overall mood of the plot and the conclusion is both sad and disappointing..........

  • what the hell is that mother 3 i never play this game can someone help me? XD
