Mother 3 is the third game in Shigesato Itoi's critically acclaimed Mother series. In the game, Lucas and various other protagonists fight to defeat a large army known as the Pig Army who are ruining their otherwise peaceful lives.
Mother 3 is a Game Boy Advance Role-playing game only released in Japan.  It was released on April 20, 2006 and is the third game in the Mother game series.  It was developed by HAL Laboratory and Brownie Brown and it was published by Nintendo.  In this sequel unlike the previous two before it you play as Lucas the main protagonist and also other members of his family.  As the game and chapters progress you switch perspective playing as different characters and viewing different parts of the story unfold.  There are a total of eight different chapters with the first three lacking the main character Lucas and played with Flint (Lucas' father), Duster and Salsa.  Mother 3 takes place in Nowhere Island.  This island transforms dramatically throughout the game from a rural society to a modern 21st century structure.  This plot coincides with the plots of the first two games and holds the same message of nature against technology.  The battle system in Mother 3 is similar to the Dragon Quest battle system, this is the same system the first two games held too as well but this time around things are a lot quicker.  There are a few things that make Mother 3's battle system unique such as a music combo system in which you hit the A button in sequence to the enemies theme and the ability to stun weaker enemies by running into them with the newly added ability to run.

Mother 3 was originally set to be a Nintendo 64DD release (dubbed Earthbound 64) but due to the failure of the 64DD add-on the game was canceled on August 21, 2000 and development was halted.  In 2003 the game was set to release on the Game Boy Advance ditching the 3D 64DD art for a more traditional 2D Super Nintendo style.  Though Mother 3 and the Mother series has a fan base outside of Japan there has yet to be confirmation of a United States and European release.  Though in 2006 a source reported the possibility of a Nintendo DS release of all three games in a single cartridge.

There is currently a fan-translation in progress by some of the users of Starmen.net. It is estimated to be released during September of this year.
