Victory Theme

Exactly WHICH song in Mother 3 is this from? It's not the "title theme"...- Gargomon251 (talk) 21:03, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

To tell you the truth, the song isn't from Mother 3. It's in the first game, Mother. In Mother 3, they used the title song from Mother, which is called "Mother Earth". Mother Earth features a part of the unused lyrics in the first Eight Melodies. --Pokeflora (talk) 23:43, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

umm. . . .

there really is only one game in the series called earthbound its usually called the mother series not the earthbound series dudes

It's not called Earthbound in Japanese. Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back is the Japanese name.--MegaTron1XD 05:40, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

I agree that when we're referring to this universe that we should label it as the Mother universe rather than the EarthBound universe. In Japan, all three games have "Mother" as the title: Mother, Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back, and Mother 3. So this means that Mother is the real name of the games (this is more apparent when Shigesato Itoi, creator of the series, said that the inspiration for the name came from John Lennon's song "Mother").

No. It's called Earthbound here. Brawl refers to it as the Earthbound series. That would be like calling Bowser "Koopa" because that is his Japanese name. And you are incorrect that most of the games only have the title "Mother". The first game was intended to be called Earth Bound when it was released here, but unfortunately it got cancelled. The third game was going to be called "Earthbound 64" but that too got cancelled. So really, the series is called Earthbound. Mr. Anon (talk) 12:02, 31 October 2010 (EDT)
