MOTHER 3’s Final Battle Can Be Ruined With a Yo-Yo - Thane Gaming

[@MishKoz]

I'd like to imagine that, underneath the pigmask programming and his metal exterior, Claus' childlike wonder still exists, and cannot resist being enamored by a cool yo-yo trick.

[@FloridusMan]

That's a pretty wholesome way to think about it :)

[@Marcossjblur]

Also with Porky apparently

[@PreviouslyEldritch]

Porky forgot to lobotomize him

[@kenhyoudou9251]

No matter how heartless you are, you must always clap when Lucas shows you his yo-yo.

I like to imagine that Masked Man claps as robotically and unenthusiastically as possible, as if he was programmed to clap at any cool yo-yo tricks that Porky would do no matter how lame they are. I also like to imagine that Porky only begrudgingly claps at your cool yo-yo tricks but he has a bitter grimace on his face because he wanted to do that and obviously because ya took his damn yo-yo dude.

It doesn't even have to be the Yoyo. The fact that Duster's tickle stick works on the Masked Man and lowers his defense implies that he is affected by it. I like to envision it.

[@ThaneGaming]

It's funny to imagine the Masked Man breaking character but also incredibly sad--especially with the Tickle Stick because it forces a laugh and has to show the kid inside of him for a split second

As a fan of both games, Undertale totally has more secrets. Factoring in the "multiple playthroughs" element and the "FUN values", alongside the dual-combat system of "fight or act", there's a lot in the Mother series, but Undertale & Deltarune're on another level.

I wonder why the person who discovered this didn't just sell the yo-yo when you get a better weapon for everyone AND waste their turn by selecting this weapon in battle

[@zeromarurb4791]

In my first playthrough i keep the yo-yo and had it in store just so i could present it to Porky in chapter 8. I though since it was a special item for him it could lead into a special interaction. So when i did it and he applaude i though he did it cause he was impressed that i bought it to him or something. I didnt know it was an interaction that happened with any enemy lol

It's useless trivia for an obscure cult classic game, yet it fascinates me nonetheless. I knew about using the DCMC boxers (or other merch) to mesmerize the pork trooper, but never thought to try using other equipment items to see if anything happened.

It really is the strangest thing for this to be the one item that has an effect on all enemies without exception. I love that it's a thing, but maybe it should've functioned like the Trivia Cards? Works on some human enemies, but not all

@@ThaneGaming Agreed. But this game is so impressive (especially for a GBA game) that I'm certainly willing to waive this as a slight developer oversight... Though I'll probably try it on my next playthrough like you

[@dansamolewicz3462]

Does this waste the enemy's turn? If so it'd be pretty broken to give Boney late game.

[@pfofe]

I created an explanation that tries to makes sense of it What if, Porky was so attached to Ness and the yo-yo, that the enemies he created (Masked Man included) are also admired by the yo-yo because it's important to Porky? Or Porky forced them to consider the yo-yo as a treasure, so they could praise him? These are my dumb theories about Lucas doing cool yo-yo tricks

[@MadotsukiGaming]

Yes

[@ThaneGaming]

You made me realize that since it's implied to be Ness' Yo-Yo, he could've just showed Giygas a few tricks back in EarthBound...maybe that's all he really needed. No praying necessary!

[@Skypatroller_BenCD]

I just re-watch that video after a while just for saying that the Yo-Yo easter egg will be a feature in my game cause one of the weapons is a Yo-Yo and ones you used it as a intem and not a battle cards you can do tricks (and the tricks are impute based so whatever your impute would be your Yo-Yo tricks are not going to be the same) and ones you have done some tricks the ennemies and bosses are going to applauds for you, but the thing is when they applauds you either receive a buff or they get a nerf (randomly). Also not sure if i may keep the for PvP
