Nostalgia-ness.

TT^TT

Damnit Itoi! You made me cry again. :'D

[RSXemperor85]

Who thinks there should be a Pixar made Mother movie?

[ecylisis]

You can call me Pollyanna

Say I'm crazy as a loon

I believe in silver linings

And that's why I believe in you

[Aunpaidintern]

This music always made me happy. It continues to this very day. It sucks that this game never came stateside. But on to my tour!

*ahem* If you look to your left you can see the Runaway Five's bus.

Tourist: Why isn't there anything on that podium?

There is. It's the black and white sesame seed. You just have to look closely.

[MrFluffyVG]

where did you get this wallpaper?

[krenedel]

i have this song on my iphone AND 3DS. Problem?

[FlukerFiction091]

@krenedel Nope, i'ts a great song.

[BongaFish]

Pollyanna, the book, is very touching. It's about a little girl brought up by loving parents who treats strangers as friends, friends as family, and meets all circumstances with unmatched optimism through a thinking technique she learned from her father called "the glad game."

It's awesome to me that Mother references the story so prominently.

[Scarredgraymouse]

when does this play in game btw? I forgot -.-

[onlycollect]

@Scarredgraymouse in the hall of memories (after the natural killer cyborg) u know the place where u ride the boat with ness's house and see lots of earthbound stuff

[nikopunksuperlink]

@onlycollect its looks likes ness house but its kind house and boat like in 1680's or something

[onlycollect]

@nikopunksuperlink umm mother 3 (in game) was after earthbound and that means that its after the year 199X

[nikopunksuperlink]

@onlycollect porky was 13 in earthbound but in mother 3 he is 1000 to 10.000 years old

[G0ATFAC3]

Before I played Mother 3, I was sifting through these videros looking at all of the wonderful music. Then I came across this.

I made a promise that day, a promise that I would not spoil this song for myself, not until I'd gotten to hear it in game.

Low and behold, seven months later, I finally got to hear it.

I am SO glad I waited!

[PaladinPenguin21]

They shall play this at my funeral

[zacdeo]

@ChromaAurora ahh I see your point but the Fire Emblem isn't crucial or in every Fire Emblem game

[Strapsman]

@zacdeo It's crucial to the plot in just about all of them that i've played.

[ChromaAurora]

This song has got to be a hallmark of the series, along with 8 Melodies. (Yes, Mother 3 doesn't revolve around the melodies, but it plays the song as part of 16 Melodies)

To me, this is like what the Master Sword is to Zelda or the Fire Emblem is to Fire Emblem.

[TorchicBlaziken313]

I used to wonder how Porky could have "remembered" a song that didn't even play in EarthBound. But now I think he could be simply remixing the song he heard in Ness's house once.

Looking past the extreme joy of this scene, it's really creepy how even the living characters are an unmoving part of Porky's exhibit, such as Tessie, Dungeon Man, and the Sesame Seeds. Did Porky take them from back in time and kill them? He must have gotten a really neat taxidermy job on Tessie...

[Ubersentry]

Of course, there is no Pollyanna in G Major. Pollyanna IS in G Major.

[HydroMonsoon]

@Ubersentry How can a song that's SO HAPPY AND CHEERFUL already be in G Major?

...you can't explain that.

[Ubersentry]

@HydroMonsoon I've tried playing it by ear on the piano, it was clearly a G Major, having only an F#. And G Minor sounds scarier, oh I've tried.

[louman7777777]

Manly tears were shed.

[chuggaavsme]

this song is called "this is sure someones memories" in mother 3

me: no, this is patrick

[BDPPWNAGE44]

Kind of reminds of Chuggaa singing mothers 8 melodies worse than *cough* rebecca black

[bwburke94]

@BDPPWNAGE44 Don't bash Chuggaa. EVER.

[Pyro25100]

@BDPPWNAGE44 dude, chugga's singing is amazing, idk what you're talking about.

[lwin300]

@BDPPWNAGE44 lmao chuggaaconroy fanboys are molesting you for a joke. On another note I honestly felt a chill go down my spine when I heard him sing. And not the good kind *shivers*

[pinoyzrule]

onwards to mother 4 everyone! To Mother 4!!!

mother4.andonuts.net

Give them your support! Itoi already did!

[Pyro25100]

@pinoyzrule itoi gave the fangame support? This shit must be legit :o

[bronzepenguincp]

I believe in morning sun. Always gonna shine my way and I believe in pot of gold. Waits at every rainbow's end, ah. I believe in roses kissed with dew! Why shouldn't I believe the same in you? You may say i'm a fool, feeling this way about you. You can call me Pollyanna say i'm crazy as a loon. I believe in silver linings and that's why I believe in you!

[Aang3lz]

This song is awesome, but in which place is played i cant remember

[NoAvailablePicture]

@Aang3lz It is when you are at porky's tower. I think in the last floor when you take a boat and the music plays on the road.

[Aang3lz]

@NoAvailablePicture Oh thanks i totally forgot

[linkpwnsevery1]

@Aang3lz almost at the end before you reach porky , u take a small boat and see mother 2 stuff on the way.

[Aang3lz]

@linkpwnsevery1 Now i remember, that litte ride was awesome, thanks

[linkpwnsevery1]

@Aang3lz np :D

[vera881]

First I played EarthBound, then Mother and finally Mother 3. I had massive deja-vus when I got to this part.

[TakesMeAnHour]

I'm finishing the mother games BACKWARDS :D.

[Rellik165]

A certain someone's memories...

So this is what it really is.

[IcyFlameFilms]

7 People have no heart...

[Vintage997]

Mother 3 is one of the best games I have ever played. Great music and great story.

[benp827]

No, here's the true story: 7 people work for Nintendo of America.

[WildcatWiiman]

those 7 people can pull out their teeth, bury their face in my crotch and SUCK ME A RAPTURE!!

[QuoteSan]

1 min and 57 seconds on pure EPIC MUSIC

[bronzepenguincp]

7 people got mad because their speakers blew up from turning it up too high.

[TheTNWWrestling]

Sadly for us no Mother games can come to America, because they all reference copyrighted, and America has sue happy lawers, and since emulators are illegal, I can't play a Mother game. Curse you copyright!!

[Hocotatium111]

@TheTNWWrestling Emulators aren't illegal, but ROMs are. You can play the English version of Mother 1, because it never got an official release, so it's not piracy to download it. And you technically can play Earthbound legally as well, but a copy could run you $100+.

[guysafari]

@Hocotatium111 Isn't it also legal to have ROMS if you have a legit copy of the game?

[Hocotatium111]

@guysafari Unless you extracted it from the game yourself, I don't think it's legal. But I would definitely say that it is justified, because owning a second copy is still as if you bought only one to the developer, and most people wouldn't buy a second anyway.

[guysafari]

Sad. I wish I knew how to do that. I think it was legal for the Sega Dreamcast. If you had the game, you could back it up on a blank CD-R

[HydroMonsoon]

@Hocotatium111 Also, I don't think Nintendo would go through the trouble to sue everyone who downloads a ROM, especially if it's an old game that they don't profit from anymore (which is the main reason I only download games that aren't on the Virtual Console, e.g. Earthbound.)

[hundredhead]

@TheTNWWrestling are you that scared to use an emulator?

[M0nkify1]

NINTENDO Y U NO MAKE MOTHER 4?

[ToonLinkMaster3000]

@M0nkify1 the creator of the mother games said he saw no more future for the mother games after mother 3 so he never made a 4th never will

[M0nkify1]

@ToonLinkMaster3000 I know and i realise this. Its still sad

[ToonLinkMaster3000]

@M0nkify1 i know D':

[M0nkify1]

@ToonLinkMaster3000 Hence my comment :P

[toontown2001]

I am actually glad earthbound is underrated because if it was popular there would be more games which would make the series more stale, only great games come like this in a lifetime, although a little popularity wouldnt hurt, one of friends said about lucas was "Is that a blond jimmy neutron"?

[MrMinemonBound]

I discovered MOTHER when hearing people say about the love theme on Ns farewell. I found Starmen.net, then Earthbound Central, Wikibound, Earthbound Wiki. Then I got Earthbound for my emulator. I am trying to play through Earthbound Zero, Earthbound, and Mother 3.

[IcyFlameFilms]

7 People do not have a heart... their souls are twisted to the power healing.

[legionbeast]

OMG... I nearly freaking CRIED when I got to this part in MOTHER 3.

[7777villain]

@legionbeast it wasn't THAT sad

-sniffle-

[Georgesbyt]

@legionbeast I did cry.

[jamrew]

@legionbeast I DID WHEN A LETS PLAYER DID (CUGGAHACONRY) i think thats how u spell it

[TheNessEB]

@legionbeast No crying 'till the end! :*)

[0822kitten]

The little Bubbly-hollowness of the intro is eerily beautiful~

And of course we all love the cheery song itself! :D

[askmiller]

how does this game has such happy and sad music T-T

[Pyro25100]

Memory lane right here :P

[WrathOfBlade]

I hate the GBA instruments, but I love how well this arrangement fits with how it's used in Mother 3. The spooky apprehension of New Pork City gives way to a final celebration of the long, long journey all the characters, players, developers, and Itoi himself have taken over the course of all 3 Mother games.

[DynamiteDominique]

its a good song. I personally prefer the one in Mother/Earthbound Zero. I dont know why but that little 8 bit melody puts me in a good mood.

Thank you Mother/ Earthbound series!!!

[TheAzulGiratina]

It Sounds Wonderful...

[mariosonicfan2010]

*insert number of dislikers here* clicked on the like button!

[pikachuluver44]

(cont.)

I believe that MOTHER can come here!

So tell me why Reggie must be a big guy *****!?

You may say I'm greedy, but look at all you other series!

There is Wario and Mario and the endless Pokemon,

You even brought Star Fox back for the 3DS SOBRINGMOTHER!!!

*continues to sing one of my versions until Reggie gets the hint and hopes it'll at least happen*

[epicreshiramgirl]

@pikachuluver44 ur a pikachu lover arent you so you should love pokemon but i agree *takes a deep breath* REGGIE GET YOUR FAT ASS OF THE COUCH AND FUCKING MAKE DS VERSION OF MOTHER 3 OTHERWISE ILL GO TO YOUR HOUSE AND USE PK GETMOTHERONDSTHEFUCK OMGEGA!

[pikachuluver44]

@epicreshiramgirl XD I made this username awhile ago but I still am a pikachu luvah! I just had to use pokemon as an example. FUN FACT: I like Mario and Pokemon, I'm actually growing into Mario somewhat, I like WarioWare but I haven't played Star Fox yet. ANOTHER RANDOM FUN FACT: Unlike most people I discovered this series through a pokemon forums; weird huh?

[epicreshiramgirl]

@pikachuluver44 i discovered this series when everyone was talking about how how n's farewell sounds like love theme from mother 3. after watching the battle between lucas and claus, i was desperate to find out everything i could about this series. i am currently playing mother 3 on emulator :D. i love pokemon equal to mother now.

[pikachuluver44]

@epicreshiramgirl 8DDD *high fives* IT IS NOT ODD! Well I found out when people were talking about Giygas, saying how he was creepy and what not. I got interested and wanted to see what was so creepy, so I watched the final battle and the credits, I established the music was awesome and that I just had to get more info on it. Thus, I like Mother and Pokemon! And thanks to my mom, Mario. Oh and thank my Dad for Zelda. XD

[epicreshiramgirl]

@pikachuluver44 i wasnt rlly interested in mother even after i heard the love theme then ppl were like giygas looks like mewtwo so i went to c the battle and then i realised ness and lucas and super smash bros were from this series so i found out all i could abt it :D

[pikachuluver44]

I believe in Mother 3, it will someday get released here!

I believe the guy Reggie, is a total ***** to us oh.

Wait isn't that person a guy instead?

Could've sworn he had more hair on his head.

You may say I'm a fool, but Reggie is a ***** and it's true!

You can ask a hardcore gamer and I'll tell you what they'll say, 'yeah I really want that series but it won't come out anyway!'

I believe there'll come a day, maybe it will be tomorrow,

when we finally get our way, we'll celebrating with pigs!

[ccproductions50]

EARTHBOUND FLASHBACK!!

[TheNinteno]

i didnt play the game. however i know this song from ssbb and melee.im not gonna play the game i think.

[MrWaka3]

@TheNinteno That's a disgrace. The MOTHER series is one of the best RPGs I've ever played, with some of the best music I've heard. Give the games a chance, you won't be disappointed.

[EarthboundSilver]

@TheNinteno MrWaka3 is telling the truth, kupo. The game is the embodiment of awesomeness. Believe the morning sun is always gonna shine again, believe this game waits at every rainbows end. You can call me Pollyanna, say I'm crazy as a loon, I believe in silver linings, which is why I believe in you!

[TheNinteno]

love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperSayinBoots]

Apparently, 7 people have a stupid opinion about this awesome sauce song. Why want they just like ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER!!!

[saturnfan18]

love this song just wish nintendo would release earthbound in the uk

[Bawhoppen]

7 People Have Wrong Opinions!

[kndoperative206]

7 people are haters on mother

[sporecreatorperson]

7 People somehow dislike this song. Opinions are opinions, no matter how

STUPID

they are...

[AC1DRE1GN64]

7 people cried before the end...

[ProtonetMan]

@AFuriousHedgehog You are half right. Kumatora is in her Adolescent years, as is Lucas. You'd know this if you'd pay attention, Kumatora is actually just tall for her age. Why don't you try going to the Debug Room, it's a wonderful thing. ^^

[NessMencesal]

@ProtonetMan I thought that Kumatora was about 16 and Lucas is about 13, could be wrong

[guysafari]

@NessMencesal Kuma's 17, Lucas is 12.

[ProtonetMan]

@guysafari Math rules the Earth ^^ read my other coment, how would Kumatora be 17 if she was still a child in chapter 1-3? Tell me that. If she was a child she'd be 6-11, and seeing how tall she was I'd guess she was 11, in chapter 4, 3 years had passed and that'd make Kuma 14. In chapter 1-3 Lucas was 9, so in chapters 4-8 it'd make him 12, so that'd make Kumatora 14, and Lucas twelve.

[guysafari]

@ProtonetMan Earthbound Wiki said Kuma was 14 in chapter 1-3 and it said Lucas was 9 in chapters 1-3..

[NessMencesal]

@guysafari it's a wiki, anyone can edit it

[WaffleTheQueenz]

@ProtonetMan Dude, she's nearly as tall as Flint in chapters 1-3. And he wears a hat. She can't be 11.

[ProtonetMan]

@NessMencesal Yes, though you guys should see the debug room, it basicly tells you everything you need to know, in chapters 1-3 Kuma is a kid, and so is Lucas. Meaning she is around 11 in chapter 1-3 and Lucas was 9, making Kuma 14 and Lucas 12. Cause in chapter 4-8 it was 3 years past chapter 3, so there ya go. Kuma is 14, and Lucas is 12.

[BluesifulWave]

A nice and memorable song from the MOTHER series, since it has been in every game in the series.

[30IsMyLuckyNumber]

LUV IT thanks for the song im new to youtube but not earthbound

[AveryGamerDude]

[millieman76]

I can't remember, But can someone tell me when this song plays in Mother 3? I forgot, its been years since I played this game

[64supermarioreturns]

@millieman76 I think it's when they're on that little boat thing going through the museum, I don't know it's been awhile since I've played too :P

Well KrzyKanghastan, I disagree. I like this song, but I'll dislike it to spite you. And everyone who thinks they're clever with the "hurr hurr so and so disliked so and so, so they're hurr hurr".

@ThievingImp You.. you hipster! D:

@ThievingImp So your going to dislike it over the fact he made a joke?

Moron.

@ThievingImp How does that even make you A mother fan? -.-

@ZeratheWolf I never said I wasn't a Mother fan, but those types of comments really. Really. Really. Annoy me.

[enclosedinstructions]

God damn.

I finally got around to playing Mother 3 years after Earthbound and Mother, so although I knew this tune I wasn't sure it was appearing in the game. The music is so different, after all.  And then, when I got on this boat near the end of the game, I hear that high whistle start up that theme... And I see all those classic moments of Earthbound.

Seriously, this game is too good at this...

[mattias1234]

[thomtropez]

listen to "Love And Mercy" by Brian Wilson if you want to hear what most of the music in Earthbound is based on

[GigaCaptainOlimar]

@thomtropez I'm well familiarized with damn near every song in the series, and I there's nearly no similarities between that piece and Mother music.

[thomtropez]

@GigaCaptainOlimar make sure you're listening to the right version, youtube is filled with "alternate" ones. the entire Brian Wilson album is confirmed to be a major influence on Earthbound's music, along with Plastic Ono Band by John Lennon and Loveless by My Bloody Valentine.

[GigaCaptainOlimar]

@thomtropez As far as I've seen (read-several years' experience and a Google search just before posting my previous comment), there's never been any mention of a Brian Wilson influence in the soundtracks.

[thomtropez]

@GigaCaptainOlimar 1101(.)com/MOTHER_music/index.­html

[GigaCaptainOlimar]

@thomtropez That link only leads to an error.

[thomtropez]

@GigaCaptainOlimar try taking off "index.html"

[GigaCaptainOlimar]

@thomtropez All that page specifies is that Itoi frequently listened to the album during the creation of Mother. There's nothing (in the article or the in-game music itself) to suggest that the game's music is based on it.

[thomtropez]

Some selections: "It overbearingly put various pieces together into this product. A mostly drum-free and mysterious album. The use of percussion had a big influence on the game." "It had a sound like from within a fog, sound that was important when making the music for Mother." "Tanaka, personally, thinks of Mother when he hears this." "It's the unstable and noisy guitar mixed with noise, and pounding rhythm. The vibration in the music of Earthbound was largely influenced by this band."

[GigaCaptainOlimar]

@thomtropez "Influenced by" is not the same thing as "Based on". Not to mention that your original comment implied that most of the Mother soundtrack was based on this album.

[thomtropez]

@GigaCaptainOlimar I'm 100% certain that there is at least one song in the Mother series that's a clear stab at Love and Mercy, and my first thought sprang Pollyanna. If you have a better comparison as an Earthbound connoisseur, feel free to tell me. Not sarcastic either, I honestly would. I think the music in Earthbound just sounds so quintessential Brian Wilson. Hell, the "Home Sweet Home" Earthbound version of Pollyanna parallels the alternate, slower version of L&M that's on YouTube.

[GigaCaptainOlimar]

@thomtropez Well, at this point, it boils down to your opinion. If you think you hear a similarity in the songs, I can't argue against it.

[thomtropez]

@GigaCaptainOlimar take it easy! who's arguing? ^_^
