This . To Bret it ' s as if a single person made the decision . And he had to keep repeating his point . <| sep |> Oh yeah . Mother 3 wins this one . Your characters crash land on a level called Tanetane Island . It ' s peaceful and tropical , but your characters only have 1 HP left because they ' re starving and near death . Except there ' s a pile of mushrooms right over there . Your dog growls like something ' s wrong , but your guys are gonna die . You don ' t have a choice . WHOAAAA . The whole level ' s a really bad trip . The forest goes all secondary color palette , the music is terrifyingly distortedVBokockreP 0 , and everything is one little introspective after another that shows what is going on in these wellrounded characters ' psyches . You don ' t know what the hell you ' re really fighting because all of the enemies are portrayed as Eerie Smiles . The forest is chockfull of mailboxes for no reason but to serve as a vehicle for . At the end , when you make it to the hotspring the game ' s equivalent of an inn to rest at , you know something ' s up , so on a return visit you can discover you really bathed in a sewer outlet and the real hotspring is on the other side . Game ' s good . Earthbound had a similar moment with the notKKK guys ' tents and the MC Escher zone , but I ' d say this one was better and much more up front about it . Those mailboxes are just too good .
