Some MOTHER 3 Music Similarities

It’s absolutely freaky how similar those pieces of music are to each other!

Excelent Post! The Kid of the video is really like Porky xD
If I found more stuff like this I will report 🙂
But I doubt being able to do it, because you do an excellent job with this blog!!

I never realized the NKC music sounded similar to Beat It… Wow.

It’s missing Lord’s Passion music, made of:

– Bach’s Toccata & Fugue
– Handel’s Messiah
– Vivaldi’s Spring

I’ve posted this similarity on other topics that talked about this but to reiterate…

Mother 3’s “Forest Prayer Sanctuary”

The refrain of Michael Jackson’s “Lady in my Life”

(It first comes in first about 1 minute into the song)

WTF was that thing shown during the 2nd Mr. Saturn Theme!?! O_O

I’ve always liked how the MOTHER series’ music is literally a ton of references to real songs. The Audacious March one was amazing – who would think of that? I’m very musically-inclined, so I love stuff like this!

Yay!, Glad I bring that to your attention Tomato. Though you probably already found it out. =P

@Ice Sage, I belive that is blobby fish. I maybe wrong on the name, but its creepy

It’s a Blobfish

Natural Killer Cyborg also reminds me of Wily Stage 1 from Megaman 2.

That was great. I recognized the Gymnopedie the instant I heard it in the game–I learned that piece years ago for a piano recital. =)

Whoever is buying the mother 3 cartridge for 27+ dollars and keeps outbidding me, could you please let me have the cartridge? iv’e never ever played he game, I was introduced to the game when I found starmen.net and iv’e always wanted to play it but couldn’t because I don’t have a computer (typing from phone) Whoever you are could you either stop bidding or let me have the cartridge.

Please. I really want to play the game on gameboy advance, and I cant emulate it because I dont have a computer. I hope you understand. Thanks.

It seems weird to reference so many songs.. I guess that it fits with the wackiness of the Mother worlds though.

Wow! I didn’t know the His Highness Theme had a Godzilla reference in it

I really want to meet that Pokey kid.

Whoa, it’s kind of weird that Beat It sounds so similar. No Beatles???

I so wanna meet that porky dude.

The “Pokey kid” is from the cover of a Fatboy Slim album

This doesn’t have anything to do with Mother 3, but I always thought that the bus music from Earthbound sounded a lot like Pipeline.

Thanks, Pyroguy42 and Aisu! 🙂
What a fitting name. Ugh.

By the way, that Pigmask Piano Medley that the first video links to is awesome!

@Ice Sage: The ting they show when the Mr. Saturn music is playing is non-other than a Blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus)

Whoa! The Saturn Valley Theme is REALLY similar to the Mr. Saturn Theme!

Anyways, cool list, I liked the thing w/ King P.’s theme and the Godzilla theme, that’s cool.

So, which of the music is actually unique?
=\

I HAVE TO do a mash-up of Beat It and Natural Killer Cyborg some day!

I didn’t notice the similarity and I was blown away.

And all this time I thought Mother 3 didn’t have any music similarities.

Godzilla and 20th Century Fox were completely unexpected. HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO BLIND?! D;

I’ve always thought the Magypsy song was a jazzed-up version of Pachelbel’s Canon in D:

Gotta admit, never thought I’d see Godzilla in a list of similarities.

Gosh, that fish at the end looks more like belch than a satun!

OMG! PORKY’S SMOKING!!!! ALERT THE EARTHBOUND MEDIA!!!!!

I actually noticed how the N.K. Cyborg theme and Beat it sound alike when I was in the car one day.

Same here. it dawned on me after an extensively long king of pop itunes playlist marathon a few weeks ago.

I always thought that the beginning of N.K. Cyborg was similar to Iron man. :/

The mole battle music bares a striking resemblance to Zelda’s garden in Ocarina of Time

Saturn Theme Z always reminded me of a Bar Mitzvah or something

I never thought that N.K. Cyborg theme and Beat It sounded alike, though I can hear some kind of similarity. It reminds me more of Dr.Wily’s stage from Mega Man 2. The beginning also reminds me of Ironman.

micheal jackson

I can’t believe I never got the New Pork City sample!!

You also forgot Thomas’ Bazaar having a sample of Back in the U.S.S.R by the Beatles. Track number 50 btw!

Unfounded Revenge – 3rd mvmt of Shostakovich Symphony 6

Michael Jackson…and mother 3 o_0

Still, really awesome!

I may be too late, but It’s better late than never!

…Some people think the Mr. Batty theme was just having the dududus but It’s actually a smash up of the old batman theme and this one!

the one I’m shocked I didn’t notice was the Godzilla. I mean… I LOVE GODZILLA! (star flies across) the more you know!

Michael Jackson and SONIC 3 = Nice
Michael Jackson and MOTHER 3 = Amazing

I’m surprised that no one’s mentioned that the tunes of “Monkey’s Delivery Service” and “Mind of a Thief” sound very similar in tune to the verses of the song “One Hundred Years” by (I believe) Five for Fighting.

Did I say “Mind of a Thief?” That was a mistake. I meant to say “Gentle Rain” above.

Am I the only one who gets a Twin Peaks vibe from Cerulean Beach?

Kyle, no you’re not. It sounds really similar to some of the music they use in Twin Peaks. Maybe they were based on the same genre of music?

I know that the David Lynch movie, Blue Velvet and Mother 3 share the song Honkey Tonk by Bill Doggett. It’s the club Titiboo theme.

Tanetane Island is definitively something terrifying enough to be from a David Lynch movie. The whole theme of American life, and hidden darkness from Mother 2 seem pretty similar to eachother.

They have the same…rolling beat sound? I’m not a musical person I don’t know. Thanks for mentioning this.

Kinda late to the party, but 00:05 to 00:12 of Hey, Brother! Gimme an A! sound just like the first eight seconds or so of Don’t Take Me Alive by Steely Dan, which was made 30 years or so before.
