A Critique of the MOTHER Switch Icons - Thane Gaming

Official MOTHER icons are here for Nintendo Switch Online, but how did Nitnendo do with their sprite selections? These are all the characters I would keep, and all of the icons I'd cut to make room for others.

Also surprised you didn't mention Dr Andonuts. That feels like a glaring omission to me. He's a pretty major character in both earthbound and mother 3

The ramblin mushrooms are insanely iconic, you canā€™t even think about cutting these guys

Mad car is my absolute favourite icon from the 3 collections, I'm so glad I got him, and while ironically I am the least interested in the Mother 3 icons, I still got them, it's my favourite of the 3 games I needed to do it after it was patched safe to obtain

Oh I dunno if I agree with cutting runaway dog. He feels pretty iconic to me. Especially being such an early encounter

Man Iā€™m sad I didnā€™t think about getting any of these icons before theyā€™d block the west from them

Iā€™m just glad I finally got a bat icon lol. Iā€™ve been looking for one for a while on NSO, so having one to represent my love for MOTHER is a nice bonus!

Great video. Here are my personal choices: Earthbound Beginnings is great. I liked your picks. My only suggestion is I think it'd be funny to give the crow its cigarette back, but I get that it's very unlikely. Replace Foppy with Tessie. I know Tessie's only in the game for a little, but I just have a soft spot for 'em. Also (slightly biased) but I would love it to be my profile picture. Might be a controversial choice, but I'd replace Ness on his bike with the Photographer. I just feel like Fuzzy Pickles is more iconic than the main character but on a bike. Replace Giygas with the Diamond Dog. I think it'll be a good choice to not spoil the ending of Earthbound, while also being of significance to the game. Also, I think the sprite just looks better and is better suited to be a profile picture than the never-ending spiral of hellish doom that is Giygas. Replace the Pigmask with the Absolutely Safe Capsule. Originally I was just gonna choose Mother 3 Porky, but I think it'd be funny to not show him himself but to just show the capsule instead, which makes sense considering his fate, similarly to how they did for the Mother 3 Smash Ultimate spirits. But those are just my thoughts. Thanks for reading this mess of text!

I'd swap out your Giyas for Heavilly Armed Pokey, and the icons for Lucas and Kumatora should instead use the post-timeskip sprites. And I'd probably use flying Whatchamacallit instead of Barrier Trio, but other than that,your list is perfect.

I'd personally replace Ness bike riding with his mom instead, just for variety and especially if we're talking prominence, she's way more so than the bike

I would change sanctuary dragon for LLoyd's Dad or giygas for putrid moldyman. We need more trash can representation

3:32 Yo, I never noticed it before, but they forgot to cut out part of the background from that sprite! Those green pixels are not meant to be there! šŸ˜‚

i have a particular soft spot for the annoying old party man/hotel manager from earthbound so i'd probably replace the octobot with them, though i'm a big fan of the choices for mother 2 you had chosen!

HEHEHE oml the ending screen broke me, take me to that insane alternate universe pleaseeee. No but really awesome video for real and great choices, I would've killed for a fobby, maybe even a worthless protoplasm??? And no masked man or giygas makes me so sadddd

My honest opinion is that it's quite hard to limit the characters and experiences of the mother series to just 60 icons. If I could, I would ADD more characters, not replace existing ones. But if I were to replace some of your picks, I would: ā€¢ replace the magicant dragon with an "unsuccessful teleport" icon since the confused face of the sprite is amusing to me. ā€¢ replace giygas in M2 with Diamond Dog, or King. ā€¢ replace the sideways biking Ness sprite with his diagonal biking one, since i think it looks cuter. ā€¢ replace Kraken with Ego Orb. Because Yes. ā€¢ replace Mecha Drago with a simple baby drago. ā€¢ I'm torn on the decision of including both a masked man and a pigmask, i would like both of them to stay but, personally, i would have replaced the rope snake with an arrow lizard. Maybe I'm biased, since the arrow lizard used to be the icon on all my social media, but it's just as tiny and cute and memorable, and it's a good introduction to the magipsies and a decent representation of them as a whole.

I'm upset that there's no backgrounds available for the game series with the best battle backgrounds.
