Read more about Lucas at: Wikipedia Official Site: Nintendo This is a list of characters that appeared in Mother 3. These characters were created by Shigesato Itoi, creator of the EarthBound series, who acted as the game's scenario writer. He first created the characters in EarthBound 64, the cancelled Nintendo 64 version of Mother 3. The main protagonists include Lucas, Flint, Kumatora, Duster, Boney, and Salsa, who have to battle the antagonists called the Pigmask Army, led by Yokuba, King Porky, and the Masked Man. Mother 3 features few returning characters from EarthBound, including the above-mentioned King Porky, small strange creatures called Mr. Saturn, and the father of Jeff, a main protagonist of EarthBound, called Doctor Andonuts. The characters' designs of Mother 3 were created by Hiroshi Sato, Shinobu Nagata, and Kuninori Ueno. Most characters featured are exclusive to it, appearing in no other games in the series. Several characters were taken from EarthBound, including Porky Minch, Dr. Andonuts, and Mr. Saturn. Most of the characters that were featured in the Game Boy Advance version were originally created for the cancelled Nintendo 64 version. Unlike the previous two titles in the series which featured most of the playable characters as children, Mother 3 only stars one playable child, while the other characters are either adults or animals. Lucas and his twin brother are based on twin characters from the Agota Kristof novel The Notebook, who have similar names to the twins from Mother 3. There were originally going to be approximately ten main characters across the game's plot, with Lucas being referred to by Itoi as the main character of them all. It was believed that he was the main character of the canceled Nintendo 64 version, due to his prominence in promotional media. Rumors began to circulate early on that Flint was an adult version of Ness from EarthBound. Itoi anticipated that people would spread rumors like this, and he decided to neither squash nor confirm the rumors, but allow the player to use their imagination. In a preview of EarthBound 64, IGN described him as "Clint Eastwood-like". |
