Let's Play Mother 3
Chapter 3: The Suspicious Peddler
Part 1: Basically the Worst Person
Welcome to chapter 3! As you can see, the latest main character is Salsa, a monkey with problems.
It's good to know that even in the worst of circumstances, frogs are omnipresent, and on my side.
Salsa is much weaker than the characters I've been using up until now. His only saving grave is his Monkey Tricks.
Apologize and Make Laugh are both low-impact enemy-stopping techniques. Monkey Mimic counters an enemy with their own attack, and Dance has various random effects. None of it is great. Salsa is weak.
Ironically, our saving grace in battles is Fassad. He's many times stronger than Salsa, and supports with incredibly powerful attacks. Our captor is the only reason we can survive this area.
What is this.
What the hell is this.
This whole area is kind of intimidatingly large. I'm just following one wall and hoping for the best.
There we go! We found it!
This dog does not want to be friends!
Fassad
Listen, monkey! That's a Cactus Wolf, the meanest thing in the desert. But we can't get inside with him standing there.
Go beat him up. Lose, and I'll have an extra serving of punishment ready just for you!
Already we're up to our first boss battle.
There's no mistaking it, Cactus Wolf is stronger than Salsa. There's no way we'll win in a straight fight. Our attacks only do 1 damage, and his do upwards of 25. So, we're gonna be creative.
Frankly, I don't see why I should stick my neck out for that Fassad guy. Let's let him do the fighting.
With a bit of luck and perserverance, Fassad pulls through this battle by using Salsa as ahuman monkey shield.
We are awaited inside by some mysterious area at the bottom of an elevator.
A map!
Let's take a look!
As you can see, this area is ludicrously simple.
Fassad
We're going to take it to an unbelievably uncivilized village called Tazmily. It'd take an incredibly long time to get there on foot, but with this Pork Bean, we'll get there in the blink of a "Nwehe!"
...You get all that?
[Yes No]
Fassad
Use that ladder to get down there!
All right, let's use the Pork Bean--
Fassad
All right, listen up.
When you want to stop the Pork Beam while it's moving, press the B Button. While it's stopped, press the B Button again to get out.
...You get all that?
[Yes No]
Fassad
Then get in!
All things considered, the Pork Beam is pretty rad. It goes ridiculously fast, and blasts through enemies without engaging them in fights.
Having taken only one small detour to grab some presents, we reach our destination.
Look, sign, I'd love to listen to you, but there's some creepy blob things over there,
and they just really look like they could use a good Running Bomb to the face.
And here we are, in Tazmily! One of the gravestones is a secret passage, apparently!
To the Yado inn!
Fun fact: "Yado" is Japanese for "Inn."
There are zombies in the graveyard! We are not going to hang around to fight them.
On the way into town, we run into someone!
Hey! I remember this scene!
Poor, poor Salsa.
Butch
"Money!" There's "money" inside! Ever heard of money?!
What? You don't know what money is?! ...Actually, I'm not really all that sure, either. After all, we've never had it in Tazmily before. But apparently an "era of money" is about to start!
Huh? What's an "era of money"?
...Huh? Oh, a traveler gave it to me in exchange for some pigs! Yeah, he took a real liking to my pigs. And then he asked me in tears if I'd trade them for this. It did seem pretty strange to me at first, but I decided to trust the guy. He's definitely a friend worth having!
Yeah, okay, we've seen all this before.
