MOTHER 3 (マザースリー, Mazā Surī) is a role-playing game for the Game Boy Advance, developed by HAL Laboratory and Brownie Brown, published by Nintendo. It is the third, and supposedly final, game in the EarthBound/MOTHER series, succeeceding MOTHER 2 (or Earthbound).
It was announced in June 2003 during a MOTHER 1 + 2 television commercial, though details of its development were kept secret. Up until its release, the game remained near the top of Famitsu's most wanted games list. Immediately before its release, MOTHER 3 was the most wanted game in Japan according to Weekly Famitsu.
Super Smash Bros. series
Characters
Originally, Lucas, the main character of MOTHER 3, was supposed to replace Ness in Super Smash Bros. Melee. However, since the Nintendo 64 version of the game was canceled, Ness remained. However, Lucas is in the next SSB game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Porky Minch's design from this game is also used as a boss in The Subspace Emissary, although he doesn't look as frail as he does in Mother 3. Also, in The Subspace Emissary (and to a lesser extent New Pork City), the Porky Statue makes an appearance.

Levels
New Pork City from Chapter 8 appears as a level in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. It is a large sprawling stage (similar to in the actual game) that is actually just outside an accurate replica of New Pork city from Mother 3. The Ultimate Chimera and flying Limousine occasionally turn up at some points during brawls.
