Dark Aspects of MOTHER is back, with an analysis of the even darker storylines planned for the unreleased EarthBound 64! From reports of missing sailors to kidnapped children, there were lots of mysterious plot points proposed by official promotional material that never made it into the MOTHER 3 we know today.

The darkest part is that it never saw the light

3:42 I sometimes think that M3 was designed to make people's stomachs turn in sorrow and disgust. Hinawa dying in the first chapter, Claus going missing (then you having to endure the relentless onslaught of Claus, brainwashed by the Pigmask Army), and having to just sit there as he chooses to "Game Over" himself right in front of you. Honestly, I do wonder what other messed up stuff Itoi had planned before it was scrapped.

What I love about Mother 3 is that the game's world is rich in detail. Every villager has a story and a personality and all of them change over time! However, I feel like there still room for improvement in a sequel.

This is a certified Mother is full of dark and mature themes and this is a natural progression of that moment.

the ironic thing about them saying they were afraid to make mother 4 because of mother 3's difficulties is that oddity, previously called mother 4, was in development hell for about 10 years before being cancelled

11:21 This might actually be a joke. It looks a bug landed on the camera lens just as the picture snapped. And "fluttering in people's faces" is exactly what bugs like to do.

Dang. If this game was actually released, it could have potentially rivaled Final Fantasy VII as one of the most impactful RPGs of all time! Wow! Can you imagine living in such a reality?

15:20 I heard a theory that it might be an early version of New Pork City. Porky may have originally built the city off of his memories, in which he used to live in Onett and became Monotoli's right-hand man in Fourside.

I can only imagine the messed up ideas Itoi had for the original game. Like what if the pig mask army kidnapped Boney and turned him into a chimera? The game would make you kill your robot dog before you get to your brother at the end as a foreshadowing. Just an idea I had.

Its so wild seeing the N64 version of things/themes/characters after playing Mother 3! Poor Itoi-Sama had this whole game in his head and was forced to keep it in there for quite a while longer

IDK. "That" just looks like a real-life grasshopper/insect that got really close to the camera. I think it would be very in-line with the Mother franchise, if "That" is setup to be a big monster, only to find out it was simply close to the camera lens. The cameraman also exaggerating it's size to 40cm would be in-line with this gag. Like a more complicated version of an innocent creature casting a big scary looking shadow.

The real dark aspect of Mother 64 is the development issues the game had.

Earthbound 64 is like the Holy Grail of cancelled video games. If it were to somehow, SOMEHOW get leaked, then all Hell and Heaven would break loose in my opinion.

I recalled a Mother/Earthbound youtuber theorizing about this "destroyed onett" screenshot (@15:20) possibly being a early version of New Pork City (along with being from Mother 3's ending and NOT the escape spaceships from Leder's speech.) I remember him explaining how there are small callbacks to Mother 2 in the final GBA version of New Porky City which shows Porky being obessed with his past, the N64 version originally had this idea being pushed more further with New Pork City being a recreation of the towns and cities from Eagleland. There is also other screenshots of the early N64 version of New Porky City which supports this theory. Also, even if this was supposed to be a "destroyed onett" then how in the heck would the Monotoli building be there---?

3:38 Well, now we know why this game wasn't released, because Quest 64 beat them to it, as it was an RPG that made people cry...albeit for a different reason

I've been obsessed with finding out more info about Earthbound 64, we just seem to be getting more and more info on how it could have been, with the leaks and such! So this video was absolutely intriguing, and entertaining! Thanks so much for all these quality videos you make, I always find out new things about my favorite games!

I always thought the zombie male in the graveyard looked more like Ness than Claus, though the zombie woman definitely looks like Hinawa.

If only Earthbound 64 released. It would've been a masterpiece, if not coming out in the west via the MegaPak used for Donkey Kong 64 and Zelda Majora’s Mask. Next up, Thane should handle the darker aspects of the Metroid series. From Super Metroid(the point where the franchise turned horror-esque and intense), to Metroid Dread.

Whenever this game is brought up it just unsettled me it is just simple graphics and the mysterious nature I can't explain it
