Crosswicking new trope.

Added DiffLines:

* TemporaryPartyMemberToVillain: Pokey joins the party as a rather ineffective team member during the opening act. He joins up with several villains over the game, culminating in participating in the final boss battle.

Per TRS.


* WidgetSeries: Man does this game hold this title. There is no other series quite like it.

None


* TestOfPain: In order to complete his Mu training, Poo undergoes a test where an illusionary being asks Poo to take portions of his body, starting with [[AnArmAndALeg his limbs]], to his ears, to [[EyeScream his eyes]], and finally his very mind. Each loss comes with a corresponding loss of HP, and for the loss of Poo's ears and eyes, [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration the battle music turns off and the battle screen is replaced by a blackness, respectively.]]

** It also turns out that the original Phase Distorter prototype wasn't exactly safe, either, as ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER 3}}'' shows that [[spoiler:Porky Minch]] was eventually given AgeWithoutYouth from abusing it.

* UndisclosedFunds: Played straight in ''MOTHER 2'', but not in ''[=EarthBound=]''. During localization, for some reason a couple of vague references meaning roughly "a bajillion dollars" were changed to real numbers (Ness's family's debt to the Minch family is "a hundred thousand dollars or more" and the Diamond "could pay off a million dollar debt easily").

* UpdatedRerelease: This game and [[VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings its predecessor]] have been compiled into a single cartridge and rereleased for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance under the title ''MOTHER 1+2'' ([[NoExportForYou only released in Japan, of course]]).

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Frank Fly is said to be about 20 years old in some of the literature based off the games. (Frank pegs himself as being younger than the legal drinking age if you talk to him during the endgame.) Another example of the ''MOTHER'' art style muddying the age detail.
