The first release of MOTHER 3 after its many revisions from its life on the Nintendo 64. It was infamously never localized or officially sold outside of Japan, but some incredible fans made a translation that sparked a flame in so many others, and it eventually sparked the creation of this website! Once you have a copy of its ROM, visit our Mother International tool to translate the game into your preferred language.

The first official rerelease of MOTHER 3 with a few changes made to lighting effects from the original release. It is unavailable as of March 27, 2023.

The Wii U version of MOTHER 3 was rereleased on Game Boy Advance Online, which is a part of the Expansion Pack for Nintendo Switch Online! It can be accessed by regions other than Japan by changing an account’s region that owns Nintendo Switch Online to Japan, downloading the GBA Online app from the eShop, then changing the region back. This marks the first time the game can be officially played outside of Japan since this app is not region locked.
