At this point in Mother 3's story, you might start feeling like the game really has it all. You might even start worrying about whether or not the game can maintain this level of quality. We've had a couple emotional character deaths, a robotic dinosaur, a hip tea party, and even a cute little monkey. … Continue reading Frog #19: Stomp the Graveyard
Duster is in for a long night, but today is going to be another short adventure on Frog by Frog. Walking from Lucas's house, the next nearest frog hangs out at town square. Just as we once made this trek from Frog #1 to Frog #2, we are now walking from Frog #17 to Frog … Continue reading Frog #18: Show Me the Monkey
What do thieves think about? Stealing, you might say, thieves think about stealing, and what they are going to steal, and how they are going to steal it. Or maybe you'd say, Sneaking. Every thief you know is a good sneak, so they must be thinking about where they are going to sneak, and how … Continue reading Frog #16: The Mind of a Thief
The tagline for the original Mother is "No Crying Until the End," but I already feel like crying. Frog #15 is the final frog of Chapter 1, and even though I'm excited to finally begin playing and writing about a new chapter, I'm not ready to let this one go. I don't want to say … Continue reading Frog #15: Somewhere, Someday
You know, I've wondered when a frog like this might come along. So far on the blog, we've had long frogs, short frogs, and somewhere-in-the-middle frogs. We have even had blue frogs, green frogs, right frogs, and wrong frogs. Typically, I try to write as much as I can about a frog. Even more typically, … Continue reading Frog #14: Cautiously…
For most people, 13 is an unlucky number, but not for me. Or at least not for this blog. Today's frog contains probably my favorite gameplay session so far. It wasn't the most exciting, nor the most impactful for the plot, but it had a little bit of everything. For Frog #13, I met an … Continue reading Frog #13: The Vine Intervention

Bronson, the village blacksmith, has informed Flint that his wife, Hinawa, is dead. Upon hearing the news, Flint lost control, attacking two villagers and attempting to … Continue reading Frog #11: Night of the Funeral (Part 2)
Today on Frog by Frog, I discuss one of the most iconic moments of Mother 3. I wouldn't say this moment is one of the best parts of the game, necessarily--we haven't even scratched the surface of what Mother 3 has to offer. But I would say that, for better or for worse, part of … Continue reading Frog #11: Night of the Funeral (Part 1)
Well, I've finally made it. After playing Mother 3 frog by frog for about two months, I have made it to the game's tenth save frog. I'll be honest--I'm feeling pretty good. It has been a real skip and a hop to get here, and I know I still have a long way to go, … Continue reading Frog #10: Tragic Reconstruction
We must have balance in all things. For every action, a reaction. For yin, yang. In nature, we see decline grow to renewal, and renewal recede to decline, becoming and unbecoming in cycles. Of course, nowhere can this be observed better than in my Frog by Frog play-through of Mother 3. Last week, my post … Continue reading Frog #9: Fetch the Thief!
