| {{nihongo|'''Lucas'''|リュカ|Ryuka}} is a character in the [[EarthBound (universe)|''EarthBound''/''Mother'' universe]], debuting in the Japan-only ''[[Mother 3]]'' for Game Boy Advance.

| ==Character description==
| |
| Lucas is the main protagonist of ''Mother 3''. He is a timid young boy that is 9-10 years old at the beginning of the game and 12-13 at by the end. Lucas is [[Claus]]' younger twin. After the intro when he grows up, he is drafted by Wess to find Duster and Kumatora. He learns PSI (PK in Brawl and in Japan) and begins to battle against the Pig Mask Army to be able to pull 4 of the 7 sacred needles to awaken the dragon living under the [[Nowhere Island]]s.

| |
| For some time, a rumor stated that in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Lucas was meant to replace [[Ness]] as a playable character, but Ness was included due to time constraints. The rumor was confirmed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] himself on July 17th, 2001 when he updated the original [[Smabura-Ken]] with Ness's profile. Quote Sakurai-san:
| |
| | |
| {{cquote|Actually, at first, I planned to change him [Ness] into the protagonist of Mother 3 [Lucas], but for various reasons during the delay, I settled back on the original idea. ({{ja|実は当初、MOTHER3の主人公に変更する予定でしたが、いろいろあって遠回りしながら、元のさやに収まりました。}})|quotecite=Masahiro Sakurai|quotesource=[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0717/ Smabura-Ken Ness page (Japanese)]}}

| | |
| Both Ness and Lucas would ultimately appear as playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

| |
| | |
| [[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]] is a playable newcomer to the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] in ''Brawl'', becoming the becoming the first non-''Fire Emblem'' character in the series to have had his original game released only in Japan. His [[special move]]s, originally revealed on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] website, differ only slightly from Ness'. For example, Lucas' PK Thunder goes through opponents, while Ness' PK Thunder does not, indicating him as a [[Clone|semi-clone]], though his other attacks are mostly unique.

| '''Lucas'''
| |
| :''The younger of twin brothers living in Tazmily Village in the Nowhere Islands. He's a kind boy who can communicate with animals, but he's shy and never really got over the tragedy that struck his mother. He fights a warped dictatorship, hunts the Seven Needles, and crosses swords with his missing brother, Claus. In the end, the young boy with psychic PSI powers grows up.''

| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Lucas' PSI shapes are polygon based, compared to Ness' circle based PSI effects. This may just be a way to tell the attacks apart, and is most clearly seen in the dash attacks.
| |
| *Lucas' home village is given as Tazumili in the [[NTSC]] ''Brawl'', but in ''Mother 3'' the village is actually named Tazmily. This was corrected in the [[PAL]] release of ''Brawl''.
| |
| *Lucas is among only three characters (with the [[Ice Climbers]] and [[Sheik]]) to have appeared in only one game outside of their ''Smash'' appearances. Lucas, however, differs slightly from the others, as he was meant to be a playable character in the ill-fated [[Nintendo 64]] version of Mother 3, AKA ''EarthBound 64''. <!--Roy appears in Fire Emblem: Rekka No Ken (Fire Emblem in USA and PAL) as a young child in the game's ending. Ness makes an appearance in the Theatre in New Pork City-->.
| |
| *Strangely, although Lucas has only appeared in a Japan only game in the Earthbound (Mother) series, he speaks English in all versions of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' except the Japanese and South Korean versions.
