Something I don't see very often in discussions of Mother 3 is that it's a phenomenally *paced* game, on top of everything else.
Earthbound is like, in the top fifth percentile of games but it suffers from an unforgivably lethargic pace that only loosens up two thirds of the way through.
Mother 3, on the other hand, hits the ground running with its first chapter and never loses steam. It's hard to top the energy of "Cowboy vs Robot Dinosaurs" and yet it DOES, over and over again, pumping the brakes to let the narrative build but never enough that it starts to feel bloated. What a fantastic game.
