 I have never been a fan of JRPG's. Well besides Pok?mon, the turned base gameplay always bored me, but then I played this game. Mother 3 has an amazing depth in gameplay, sound, and even story. Itoi-- the creator of this game has really out done himself with it. As this story is one of the most emotional, gripping, and heartfelt stories I have ever experienced. You start off naming yourself and your family-- I'll stop right here and say this, if you name the family after your real family it can make this game ten times the more depressing. You name the things you like, favorite food, and even your dog.

Difficulty: 8/10
 Unlike the games predecessor you have more variety in your attacks. In EarthBound/Mother 2 you mainly used items or pressed A to bash the enemy, but, in this game it isn't the case. Now each character has their own set of moves. While some may keep the enemy from attacking for a few turns, some may boost your stats for the battle, or even just attack the enemy. And just like the last game you still have your PSI, which is essentially magic in this game. Now all of these changes make the game easier than in Earthbound or Mother 1; but that doe not mean this game is easy. This game does have sudden difficulty spikes that makes you want to firmly embed your keyboard/controller into the screen. Overall difficulty in the game is pretty high, but just seems a bit unfair.

Story: 10/10
 As I said earlier, this is one the most gripping stories I have came across in games, movies, and even books. And I'm a bit afraid to talk about it in the fear I may ruin it for those reading this review, so I'll try my best to keep it as spoiler free.?
 The story takes place in what seems to be the old western days. One day a fleet of aliens invade their peaceful town, changing most of the animals into chimeras, animals mixed with other animals or even electronics. The Pig Army (the alien group) in the game takes over their town and modernizes it, adding cars, and anything we would see nowadays.
 You play as Claus a young boy who lost his mother and brother due to the Pig Army invasion, you play as him as he desperately tries to pull the seven needles in the earth that keep the dragon that their world stands upon from destroying everything in its wake.It's a race against time as a mysterious man whom is simply referred to as "The Masked Man" compete to pull all the needles, if the masked man succeeds you and everything you know shall be destroyed.

Sound: 8/10
 When it comes to this game music is really a hit or miss. While there are some songs that really stick out some of the enemy themes are quite forgettable. But when a song is good in this game, they're absolutely amazing, To this day whenever I'm bored I still find myself humming to the Pig Mask Army theme. Or humming Alec's log cabin on long car trips. Even if the songs aren't quite memorable-- I can say this; they are some of the most original and fitting songs for this game. Each enemy has it's own theme, that really fits it. Especially the Bat which play the 1920 Adam West BatMan theme song.?
? Not only are most songs really grand but the sound even plays a big part in the gameplay. Whenever you put an enemy to sleep you can hear its heartbeat, press the attack button to the rhythm correctly and you can get up to fourteen times damage!

Graphics: 10/10
 This will be short and sweet. The art style is nice and colorful. it suits the game very well. At times the overworld sprites are nicely animated. And when it comes to the battles, well the sprites are clear and well designed. The backgrounds look like you just raided all of the Smurf's mushroom supplies as they are very psychedelic. Over all the graphics in this game are crisp, clean. All you could want from a GBA game.

Addictiveness:
 Simply put. Very. You will find it hard to put this game down because you will just be so invested in the colorful cast of characters, gripping story and the amazing gameplay that I have stated before. There's a reason this game has a cult following ya'know.

Depth: 10/10
 This is quite a lengthy game for sure. Even though the game is quite linear there is a lot of things to do. The story in ?this game is extremely long. It took me a good 25-30 hours to beat it. Coming from a simple GBA game that is quite a lot. With all of the training for your four party members and yourself you'll find yourself spending hours on end in this game. And I'm not going to lie, you'll probably inflate your playtime by conversing with all the colorful and witty NPC's this game has to offer. Again, overall this game is lengthy and well worth your time. Now. Stop reading and play this magnificent game! Go on! Garn wiv' yer!
