How old is Lucas in Mother 3?

I don't know where I read it, but I read somewhere that Lucas is 12. Since then I have the notion that Lucas is younger than Ness, who is 13

“Does this look like a 16 year old?” I don’t know, I still wear clothes that look exactly like that at 25

“What do you think?” You think I care?!?!

[Microwavethemicrovae]

I think he's 10 pre timeskip and 13 post timeskip

[smashers]

I think at the very least he’s around 12-13ish, the bigger question is Kumatora’s age because she’s presumably younger than Duster and still and still an adult according to her plush description.

i always pictured pre time skip Lucas and Clause to be wearing long sleeves, and post wearing short sleeves. might just be beacuse they're smaller sprites but i like that better tbh.

“Does this look like a 16 year old.” Virtually every Earthbound protag looked like they were 9 so…

[TheGalWithAPlan]

I always thought Lucas looks a just a tad older than Ness, so 13 or just older 12 makes sense.

[The_Gabe]

I like to think he’s 14 because Ninten is 12, Ness is 13 so it would be neat if Lucas was 14 then (each protagonist is always one year older than the previous one).
Or he could be 13, if you take Ninten and Ness’ Japanese ages (11 and 12 respectively).
But either way, he should realistically range from 12-15 in my opinion.

The PK Starstorm trophies in brawl/ssb4 (forgot which) say that Ness and Lucas were taught the moves by Poo/Kumatora after the events of their games, which would make him post timeskip

[poppyfrancis]

I think that Lucas is absolutely a child, anywhere between 10-15 years old. I don't care that 14-15 are considered teenage because I wouldn't trust my own kids to not make the same mistakes I did as a kid at those ages either. Lucas is young, young enough that he's not recognizable as an adult. And 15 is about the age when people start to look like adults

[DripMasterHenry]

I always thought he was 10 pre time skip and 13 after because it just makes sense to me

[citroenboter]

I was always under the assumption he was about 7 or 8 before the time-skip, and around 11 after the time skip, based on his height, clothes and proportions.

[chroniclesofstuffplushplesh]

I think he is 12, it just makes sense.

[HazmattyGamingYT]

I think hes 13 post time skip, because by the time someone is 13 theyve entered their teens, a step up from childhood. This just makes sense to me because lucas grows so much throughout the game, especially post time skip, so 13 being the mark of maturing to a teenager in most cultures is in line with lucas maturing himself.

EDIT: right after I commented this I had another idea. 13 is also popularly considered as an 'unlucky number', and lucas isn't necessarily the luckiest person..

[miguelcrafter]

I think the exact same, he is 8-9 years old, but becomes 11-13 years old after the time skip

KumaLucas shippers bout to go to jail 😭🙏

I know it could be debatable, but I feel like the Smash model resembles the post timeskip more than pre. The pre timeskip makes him look very short, and he doesn't look that short in Smash. As for the age, I always felt that he was around the same age as Ness. 12 or 13 were my guesses.

[enrique]

He looks like Ness post timeskip, and Ness is 13 during the game and almost 14 at the end.

It is interesting to note that in his Fighter Spirit in Smash, the image they use for his original art is his pre-timeskip version. Obviously not confirmation, there are other Fighter Spirits that use slightly different versions of characters, but might give us a little insight

Or maybe they didn’t put much thought into what they chose given the gaff with Masked Man’s sprite at first lol
