Eh, I had no problem blowing through Mother with the easy patch and frameskip.  It's a rough little game but I still think it's worth going through if just so you can slap it in people's faces when they decry Earthbound as being nothing but a Dragon Quest rip off.

The main issue is that Mother's story contributions to Earthbound can be summarized in about two brief sentences.

Well, the same can be said about Mother 3, but that's more of a problem that Mother 3 is a terrible sequel than that Earthbound isn't fantastic.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

I'd say it's more that Earthbound and Mother 3 are worth playing compared to Mother, but thankfully Mother doesn't really have much to offer beyond those two plot-important sentences!

Well yeah, compared to Mother, just about anything is worth playing.

I liked Mother.

Didn't play the whole thing though.

I haven't played through MOTHER even though I'm a few dollars short of being a card-carrying http://starmen.net member.

I'll bite, why is it a terrible sequel?

If you feel like nicking the Mother 1 and 2 GBA patch that version of Mother is a little more robust (you can't, say, permanently miss out on plot-crucial key items by accident) and the Easy mode is already there. That said, you can still skip it entirely.

I'm just going to go ahead and leave this Earthbound music homage here.
