Howdy, folks! Oops! Guess who disappeared again? But I was cooking something… I made a Discord server intended for Mother fans to share their fanworks in! Art, fics, fangames, all fair game! We intend for it to be a chill but relatively mature space, so if you like the sound of that, c’mon in!

While most characters in the Mother series do not celebrate a canon birth date, there is one that does! It's Ana Brewton, her birthday landing on December 23rd (the day before Christmas Eve) according to the Mother Encyclopedia! If you go off of the original year of Mother 1 having been 1988, (stated on a different page of the encyclopedia) and the fact that she’s 12 years old, she would have been born on exactly December 23, 1975 and be nearly 50 years old today (if she were real, that is!)

Well, howdy folks! Sorry for my disappearance into the ether! You could say they locked me in a capsule for a bit, not literally of course, but my schoolwork was kicking me repeatedly in the shins.
But it’s over now!
Expect to see more of me now that it’s over! Many apologies for the inactivity! It’s time to keep things rolling!

Did you know that in EarthBound’s Dusty Dunes Desert there is a random mole near the entrance that is nearly impossible to avoid? This mole is intended to be encountered on purpose to activate a flag that allows the sunstroke condition to start after you enter the area instead of on the road!
Here’s a cool video on the matter for all your mole needs.

Pictured below is an actual image Toby Fox made for starmen.net's 2007 Fun-Fest!
..I have no words.
Upon further inspection, going to the link found in the image leads to a now-deleted page.
However, through the power of the Wayback Machine, we're actually able to see what this page said all the way back in 2007!
"Everyone's named their favorite food "Poop" at least once. But do they understand the effect it has?
"Pokey, would you like some Poop? You don't like Poop? Well T-O-O B-A-D!"
What does this line mean?
Does it mean that Pokey is forced to eat the Poop? Is it that he has to watch his friend eat feces in front of him, while he watches in horror and embarassment that everyone seems to be enjoying themselves except him?
This is why he does all the terrible things he does. This is his motivation. Admist all the snake-slaying, dog-fighting heroes, if the good guys eat poop and laugh at you, wouldn't you turn to the evil side?
This is Pokey's true motivation.
"Poop."
This picture chronicles that fateful event.
ps - I have terrible organizational skills. This was also made entirely in MSPAINT. This entire picture is MUCH better viewed at 200%, unless you have really good eyesight. Trust me." - Toby Fox

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Okay not really but recently I found out about this one earthbound postcard? With a new year's theme and some exclusive sprites. Just look at those boars I love them.
So I tried to recreate a bunch of these. They aren't the best but for the most part they get the point across.
No I'm not making a winter tile set for onett. I don't have as much experience with that sort of thing.

Did you know that a few things sit outside of ordinary view in Smash’s Onett stage? I’ve gathered a few shots of this to show a few things out of frame! (Sorted by exactly where these are.) The layout of the town naturally has a different layout to how Onett actually is, but it’s kind of cool how most of the essentials are there.
To the left:
[Id: a screenshot of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Onett stage. The camera is rotated left to show a blue house, a yellow fire hydrant, and a tunnel.]
In the fourth wall:
[Id: two screenshots of the same subject, this time tilted back to show objects in the fourth wall. The first picture shows a small market with one stall and red and yellow tulips spread across two yellow checkered picnic blankets, and the corner of a baseball field. The second image shows two bikes across the road in front of the blue house on the stage. Hi Marth, what are you doing on the roof?]
Behind the stage:
[Id: two screenshots showing the area behind the stage. The first one shows the cliffs while the second does not, showing more of the paths and roads. There is a meteorite on the tallest cliff and three houses closer to the viewer on the cliff. The Onett hotel and hospital are in front of the cliffs followed by a grid of six houses. An excavator is between the two houses on the top-right corner.]
To the right:
[Id: two more screenshots, this time with the camera facing the right. A purple house with a billboard, the Onett arcade, and another tunnel can be seen. The billboard says “Onett Message Board. Caution: a black van driven by this guy has been spotted racing recklessly through town. Be careful!” There is a picture of a member of the Runaway Five beside the text.”

Happy Birthday Leder
In an issue of the MOTHER 3 Times, dated August 21, 1999, the villagers came to visit Leder at the Bell of Repose to celebrate his birthday. Happy birthday Leder!

Oh wow! I had no idea there was a Mother 2 novelization! Is that truly official? I’m fascinated by the different way it interpreted the story
It sure is! People have been on these novelizations’ tails for quite a bit until they finally got translated a while back!
Fun Fact: there are actually three (two for Mother 1, one for Mother 2) of these! There’s the two longer novelizations of Mother 1 and 2, and then the choose-your-own-adventure adaptation of Mother 1, which also falls under a similar category. If you want to read more about these, I’ve got this nice little article on them you can check out, and it will take you to the fan-translated versions of the texts themselves as well! I think it’s pretty cool they exist even with the liberties they take at times. What a shame a Mother 3 one never came to be…

How is Giygas character described in the mother 2 novel?
Hi anon! This is the best paragraph I could find, and here’s the book itself for good measure. Now, mind you, this adaptation changed Giygas to an Alien-esque parasite so it won’t quite match canon, but there it is. Frankly, I would have had way more of a field day describing him!
Image transcription under the Read More!
From inside of Pokey's mouth, which he was trying so desperately to keep closed, there came a thick leg. ...A very solid-looking leg, covered in hairs, like that of a spider. Then two, then three, then four...four legs in total, squirming and writhing! “What the...? What the heck is that thing?!”
“It's Giygas...that must be Giygas,” said the Ness R., sounding heartbroken. “Giygas took Pokey as his host, and little by little, he's been growing inside of him. And now...now he must be hatching...”
But what a foul creature this was! What an abomination!

The only known battle theme from the cancelled EarthBound 64. It appears to be an early version of Etude for Ghosts, a battle theme used for only two easily missable enemies in the final version of Mother 3.

Audio from the 60-second EarthBound 64 trailer (including sound effects), from when the game was planned for release in 2000.
For comparison, here’s Big Shot’s Theme from the final Mother 3, and the arrangement of Big Shot’s Theme used on the official Mother 3+ album.
