** The final boss battle of ''MOTHER3'' (and even the penultimate boss battle) do not definitively end with Lucas and the gang beating the opponent. When you fight [[spoiler: Porky (aka the same Pokey Minch that fled via time travel in EarthBound), he ends up locking himself in the Absolutely Safe Capsule]]. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin It lives up to its name]]. And the '''final''' boss battle against the Masked Man [[spoiler: (aka Claus)]], isn't quite a boss battle. The Masked Man fires an intense bolt of lightning at the gang, which knocks out everyone except for Lucas, only because of the recently polished Franklin Badge. Lucas can't will himself to attack at all [[spoiler: up until the point where the Masked Man fires PK Love at him... [[HeroicSacrifice and their father keeps BOTH shots from hitting Lucas.]]]] Meanwhile, you have [[spoiler: Hinawa's ghost]] trying to bring [[spoiler: Claus]] back to his senses, and she fails the first couple of times. Until she succeeds, the Masked Man is pretty much [[CurbStompBattle kicking your ass]], with the only thing you can find yourself able to do is block and heal yourself. [[spoiler: Claus comes to his senses, dealing lower and lower damage until it becomes pitiful single digit damage. [[HeroicSacrifice Finally, before he sinks back into his brainwashing, shoots at Lucas, knowing full well that his Franklin Badge is going to reflect it full force back at him.]]]] [[FakeUltimateHero Truly, the protagonists never actually defeat]] the FinalBoss-- they either [[spoiler: the FinalBoss either flees, gets killed from a CombinedEnergyAttack or ''kill themselves''.]]
