'Mother 3' Sunflower Fields Scene

From the shortest chapter in the game (Chapter 6). This is one of the simplest yet most emotion-driven scenes in the whole game.

what makes this so sad is that he didn’t even hesitate when he made that jump. he wants his mother back that badly. lucas didn’t ask for anything else. by the end of the game it didn’t matter to him that we was the chosen one destined to pull the needles. he’s just a child.

What gets me the most is Boney running ahead after her too. He was clearly missing her a lot as well.

Just noticed that Hinawa is waving when Lucas jumps. Brb I'm crying

My mom passed away a year ago today. When my dad and I got the call from the hospital saying that she passed, this scene was the first thing to come to mind. I had played MOTHER 3 a few years prior and just wanted to go back to this scene after receiving the news. She had been fighting cancer for about 6 years and going on year 7 up until then.

It’s pretty hard on loosing someone close to you like your mother. But man, this scene is just something I’ll rewatch every time December 29th roles around.

even if portrayed by just mere pixels, the desperation and longing on Lucas' face as he leaps for his mother is so heartbreaking.

remember to appreciate your mother. happy mother's day.

Mother 3 is like the Pixar of video games: The graphics are colorful and full of life, there's a decent amount of humor to go around, you're going to leave with at least one favorite character that you can relate you are definitely going to be getting the feels on at least one point in the story.

This scene is so powerful. Lucas does not need a single word for us to feel sympathy for him.
The feeling of being lost in an empty landscape.
And when he saw his mother in the cliff, he was ready to die to be with her.
Remember he is only 13 years old at this point. So sad...

[DanielVarona]

The best chapter in the game. It says so much in such a short time.

[maxway]

No other game has emotionally impacted me as much as Mother 3 did. Thank you Nintendo for helping me thru some tough times in my life.

[lapisfengari]

This is one of the best chapters in the game for the story content alone. It shows a lot about Lucas's character without a single word being spoken, and that's absolutely beautiful.

[strawberrycat.]

I love how Lucas' hair and shirt matches the sunflowers. 🌻💛🌻💛🌻

[Holly_Hobbie]

I can't believe I overlooked this track on my first full playthrough. It's utterly beautiful. It sounds like the rest of MOTHER 3: that melancholy but wonderful dream that makes you cry in your sleep.

I lost my grandma at a young age...
She was like a mother to me... She died when i was 9. I still dream about being with her again to this day. I cry in my sleep sometimes when i have these dreams... I'm 14 now. I think of her when i see this.



My mom is alive, but lives 1000 miles away from here.

my heartstrings got pulled so hard when “mother?!” played. definitely one of my favorite songs from the mother franchise.

[its_pep]

Most heartbreaking part of the game, imo.

[Februarys]

Its the fact that Boney can see her too...

[psychopianist]

When Lucas jumped off that cliff, I think I felt my heart stop for a second or two. It was just painful to watch, somehow.

[pokemonchampionserena]

imagine if someone allergic to pollen ended up here. oh god.

7 years ago, I watched my mom nearly pass alway.

She has a rare mutation of CF, & she had been in the hospital for 11 months that year, & it was really hard for an 8 year old me. So she ended up getting a feeding tube installed into her stomach, & my Mimi was visiting San Diego. We spent all day at Belmont Park having fun, when she had a feeling that we had to go to the hospital. We drove there, & the surgery had ended, & all the surgeons assured me she was okay, but I didn’t feel right. I later learned that there was internal bleeding that the surgeons hadn’t noticed, & didn’t seem to care. My mom was barely conscious only grunting in pain, I remember being in tears thinking she was about to die, I kept asking her if she was okay, & if she knew my name. I thought I had lost my mom that day. I had said a prayer that she would wake up, & a miracle had happened. One surgeon knew she was going to die, & had did an emergency surgery on her to stop the bleeding. I had to leave to go home 3 hours away. I won’t say what happened in my mom’s perspective during her nearly dying for personal reasons, but what had happened was truly a gift from God himself. She’s alive & well right now, only occasionally going to the hospital, though my mom is going through a lot mentally, i cannot express how grateful I am to still be with her. I just know that she was meant to live for a little longer. & I believe that with me too, I’ve experienced a 3 year depression that lasted until few months ago & was seriously at a low, but I too had a near death experience. I know that both me & my mom, & everyone reading this comment are meant to be here, & that God put this world with all of us in mind, & he knew that it wouldn’t be complete without you & me. I played this game mostly spoiler free a few weeks ago & beat it, & well it is my favorite game of all time for so many reasons, this moment broke me. It made me think of that horrific day of seeing my mom dying, & the intense emotion in it. But I am so humbled by the lord for all of his great miracles that hes has for us, no matter the struggle. Thanks if anyone’s reading this, & I hope you have a wonderful life🙏🏻
