Mother 3 Animated Bosses Concept

- Boss battle sprites from #Mother3 that are now animated! Finally played this wonderful game this year, and I love it! From its fun sense of humour, incredibly emotional story and its visually appealing style!
- Hry
part of me almost wishes masked man was left unanimated, wouldve made him feel much more robotic and creepy and wouldve gave him a really off-putting feeling even if you didnt concsiously notice it
True. Or just animate the sword with flashing
I would say just animate him ever so lightly breathing
Make it extremely rare the animation so you second guess whether he actually is human or not
the only thing animated would be the sword sparks
I would've animated him breathing. No bounce, just slow, calm, careful breathing.
A much more subtle animation than a full-on bounce.
The subtle switch to “Guard” instead of “Bash” for the final Masked Man part brings me to tears
Spoilers dude i was actually looking forward to that
@@powerONdelta sorry man you watched a video showcasing all the bosses there’s bound to be spoilers in the comments (plus the game is over a decade old) /nm
@@yammea5665 I've played through pretty much the whole game at this point. I meant the switch from bash to guard
@@powerONdelta I am genuinely confused what? I just talked about the options switching it’s not spoilers 😰
@@yammea5665 it's spoilers when you haven't seen that part of the video lmao
The Natural Killer Cyborg always scared me, and this didn't help. The fact that it covered the entire screen terrified me.
Yeah i can understand what that feels like
honestly it made me a little disgusted, I don't know, seeing those crab legs and that skin tone disgusted me 🤮
@@leopro96ytgameplaysytutori76 this, the skin always made me think they covered a robot in a pig’s skin and that just.. ee

I love how the Mecha Drago has the missing fang, because of the whole Hinawa thing.
I love how you made the statue walk just like how it does in smash
well i mean you cant really give it another animation
the statue looks kinda cute tbh
@@ARCHIVED9610 until you remember it has about 9 billion health, max attack and defense
@@ARCHIVED9610 well, you can get crushed by it's feet, and really fast turn into a pancake and die.
HUH???? Just realized i never fought this boss during my playthrough (just finished the game today)
It looks like the technique they applied on gen 5 pokemon. It's really good!
actually it doesn't. like, at all. these have every frame sprited individually, gen 5 pokemon have chunks of the sprite moved around and rotated.
@@TsukiStuffs They're just comparing this to something they like to show their appreciation, why you gotta do em like that
@@Nenny3531 we do a little informing
gen 5 uses skeletal deformation, a pretty good use for a ds game and to not waste a lot of time
Yeh it's looks cool
I love Porky's sprite in this. His mouth movements almost look like he's laughing at the player.
i mean he is wheezing
hi piss soda
God ... some chimeras are so effed up.
Some of these animations really highlight how dangerous these things are. I never really thought of that lion-esque one's mane as being a ROTATING circular saw. Can you imagine being some kid with your dog fighting a flaming circular saw chimera!?
Well, you still can use PSI
With a poison tipped tail
The most effed up chimera is Claus
I mean yeah but you also happen to be able to blast enemies with cool psychic powers so I'd say it's a fair match
Oh yeah. It's still a game so just as your amazing powers won't kill it for like multiple turns, you can be burnt or sliced by it and still be relatively fine to fight it.
3:27 that transition was epik!
The pork tank be jammin’ tho
It Do Be Like That Sometimes
it be smokin too
4:55 I swear I can see the saw spinning in both directions and vibrating back and forth all at the same time
Same
FUCK THATS SO WEIRD
AAAAAAAAAA
My brain am displeased.
I don't even know in which direction is it supposed to be spinning!
@@Kyumifun yes
This is super cool. It would've been even cooler if the animations were synced with the music but I understand that would probably be difficult.
Yeah I was thinking the same exact thing, to help with the rhythm mechanic. The pork statue kind of matches tho
It would be even cooler if on a hit they did a flinching animation, like in some of the Final Fantasy Games. Bonus points if they had multiple attack animations as well.
1:00 this one's synced.
@@lqu Not fully.
4:20 works pretty well at first
*so if the bosses were ‘breathing’ instead of just using one sprite*
I think most of these were great, although a couple were probable better off not moving like the Barrier Trio, Killer Pork Cyborg, and the Floating Eyeball…but maybe that last one is just because it scares me.
I think the last one completes the whole thing
A single tear
I think the floating eyeball movement on the eerie smile makes it more menacing
*natural killer cyborg
i adore the drum with every part of my being

Oh wow, if these could somehow be implemented into the game via an ips patch, i'd play it all over again. Even though i've already played and beaten the game 4 times.
Perhaps a rom hack could also suffice
It's possible to put animated enemies in EarthBound, so it's probably possible.
I’m told hacking mother 3 is a lot harder than mother 2
@@RiskierGoose340 an ips patch IS a romhack, no?

Stop
@@ninjanate5018 no, no, he's got a point
I was going to ask about Giygas but then I realised that Giygas is literally already animated.
You made fassad's head spikes into trumpet valves?? Woah!
I wrote a HUGE comment giving constructive criticism for each one, saying what parts I liked and which ones could be better, but CZcams skipped to the next video in my queue before I posted it and my comment got wiped, so here's the TLDR:
These are all SO good, I just wish a few of them like Mecha-Drago and Mechorilla were less exaggerated, because it doesn't really seem like something that would fit in to the game. If you weren't really going for accuracy and just wanted to express your animation style, then just ignore that, because they still look really good.
My favorite is probably the Mr. Passion one. The baton swings look straight out of a cutscene. :D
I agree. I also believe it would be better if most if not all of the animations were just slower. That would make them look less exaggerated, like you pointed out, and would make them look a little more "real"
Yeah I do think some of them are a little too..bouncy, specifically with a lot of the more mechanical enemies and Masked Man. They definitely could benefit from being slowed down and less exaggerated but it looks great on a lot of them like the Porky statue
I mean, I think it fits the Masked Man a lot as a animation, since I feel like it fits his sword stance and pose. Since these *are* animations, he’s gotta bounce or else all of the animations would look stale as heck. My favorites have to be the Barrier Trio, Masked Man, Mecha-Drago, Porky Statue, and the Cactus Fox as all of them have high quality and lively animations, instead of being slow and- well- not lively. Although, I wish Mr. Generator moved his arms around mechanically.
(Oh and the Fassad ones are godly)
You should've just paused the video while writing that comment.
By "exaggerated", do you mean how the speed of the movement feels, rather than position it switches to?
Because the position of the new keyframe compared to the existing sprite seems completely fine.
Likewise, the in-between animations are smooth.
Yet the timing makes it feel unnatural: The linear switching back and forth is what makes it look a bit hectic.
Like at 0:19, you wouldn't expect the Mecha-Drago to move that much as his idle stance.
But I could well imagine movement with a short pause after several iterations of a 'less extreme' movement.
Kind of like you'd see a character in an MMO looking left and right every 15 seconds or so.
Even more so with the Snake at 1:14 - and especially later at 1:29, as the frame cycle gets even shorter.
It actually works amazing for sprites that are meant to look energetic - like Lil Miss Marshmallow at 4:09 - and especially the transition 4:18.
And not all look as hectic, if the movement between the frames isn't as linear.
The Clayman at 1:03, the Porky Statue at 7:53, and the NKC after that look pretty damn snappy.
Animate Lucas crying. It’s kind of weird how the game tells you he’s crying but his sprite is just looking like 😐.
And sprites of villagers of Tazmily , because text show what they are crying after Hinawa's death , but sprites are smiling.

@@ivotcomer3183 Sorry for putting that image in your head.
I'm crying on the inside.
Nice! I can totally imagine a remake for the switch being like this!
“Like that’s ever gonna happen”
-Shrek 2001
I had a dream last night that MOTHER 3 got remade for the Switch, and that said remake got localized. Though I was apprehensive about it due to remakes generally being worse than the originals, I was wholly disappointed when I woke up and found out it was only a dream.
@@psychopianist630 we need 3d mother 3 like it was gonna be on the n64, also just need mother 3 I'm general though
emphasis on "imagine"
Think again. You should watch the Mother 3 fan trailer that came out recently.
I had this idea pop into my head a while back, so it's neat to find it made into a reality by someone with their own ideas for it.
It'd be cool for them to have little idle animations like what Miitopia does, for example, perhaps making the Forlorn Junkheap just _completely_ collapse, before slowly and jankily getting up again, having Miss Marshmallow taking a moment to clean the scenery, or having the PORKY's stopping for a moment to make rude gestures like the childish prankster they imitate...
I was personally thinking of having their animation style in the form of Knuckle Sandwich's motions in my case, but this is neat too.
Animating these bosses won’t bring Claus back
You LIE! He's in the comments RIGHT NOW! Kidding, of course.
@@ChaseVaccaro-ge3gk really??
While a bit limited to bobbing and stomping I do think the animations are pretty cool all in all. My two favourite details are easily Fassad's hat ornaments moving like the parts of a trumpet because I never appreciated that part of his design until now and how Claus's movement when taking off his mask mimics pulling a needle
Imagine how cool it would have been if Mother 3 would have had this but also timed the animations with each of the battle song rhythm combos. Good work!
this is sick my man, hope the normal enemies(especially the pigmasks) gets animated too
wow this is awesome cant wait for this to be a mod
Wait, this is going to be a mod?!
Can’t wait to play it!
@@Just_Ants no, it will not.
the game already has the maximum space a gba cartridge can handle (32 bit), you can't add more.
@@joaonitro5149 but in emulator you can
@@justadragonnamemarcus1751 true
These look really nice as if they really belong in Mother 3. I’m sure there originally wasn’t any battle animations to save on space though. You should do Earthbound and Mother 1 next!
I kinda feel the still frames made things a bit more epic, and the animation not syncing with the music could make timing more difficult, but a lot of these are quite charming.
woah dude, this is amazing !!
edit: the way the porky bots were animated makes them look like they're bopping to the music, pretty wholesome
Lmao, imagine fighting for your life only to see that your enemy/enemies are just vibing😂
Same with Miss Marshmallow.
They all look so natural it’s amazing
Simple.
Effective.
That's all you need! So much more life was brought to these sprites. Great work!
Love that small detail on barrier trio
Holy crap these are so cool, Li’l Miss Marshmallow’s is definitely my favorite.
xd I see you in almost every Mother 3 video
This is really cool. Some of my favs include Mecha dragon, Mr Passion and Porky's one. Reminds me of the pokemon gen 5 games a bit with the moving pokemon. Great work!
Si hubiera sido hecho para DS le quedarían perfectas las animaciones...pero esa es mi opinión uwu
holy damn that’s actually really really well made, amazing job.
You deserve so much credit for this. So many of the animations completely capture the essence of the character and you can tell your focus was on artistic integrity rather than graphical improvements which is the draw for this game
There are a couple i would have notes for but you have a genuine talent and you deserve so much love for bringing Mother 3 a little closer to life than it was before.
Huge respect ❤
Love to see mother 3 community still working 😃
this is really cool, i see why the backgrounds aren't moving, if the game had moving models they probably wouldn't have the moving backgrounds
The moving backgrounds are just simple scrolling tricks done on a very simple background. Nothing too much to worry about performance
I like a lot of these animations, I can really feel your improvement in the later boss sprites! I know these take a lot of hard work to make and I can relate to the passion of this project, which is why I want to see it improve in some aspects.
I feel that some of the earlier boss animations were a bit too exaggerated, namely the Mecha Drago, the Tank, and the Pork trooper. Their movements, I feel, don't suit the mood or the character. The only other thing I would fix would be Claus's animation because I thought it a bit silly that the helmet just ascends.
This is like a more modern take on the classic SMT style of animation, that's actually very neat :)
I like how the Killer Cyborg and Porky Statue march
Dude these all look so epic! Amazing work! :D
Man! This is just... Amazing, the animation and everything in this video is pure gold
these look amazing, keep up the good work dude!
This is incredible. I always imagined what they would look like with animation, kinda like gen 5 Pokémon, as what some people mentioned. If this becomes a mod, I’d be willing to play the game again with these animations.
I love how the porky robots look like they're pulling their pants up
Nicely done! This really adds extra life to the battle sequences 😎
Dude, this is awesome!
The one with miracle fassad has to be my favorite. Cool video btw.
This is amazing! I can't believe I just came across this video! Each of these animations are great and really well done! Some slight criticism though, I think maybe a couple feel too bouncy and fast, like the Mecha Drago and the Clayman, and could be slowed down a bit. Along with that, I think adding maybe a small separate animation that would play after a couple of loops to add some character to each animation would also fit well, and then have them pick back up and restart. Though, that last part is just personal preference, other than that, these are executed beautifully and wonderfully! It's little stuff like adding animation to sprites that gives them nice character, and it makes me wish that if there were ever a remake of Mother 3 or any of the Mother games, animated sprites is something they would add.
Bro that final Claus animation was beautiful
Wow. That's really impressive 👏
Good job man
6:42 barrier moment
I hope something like this goes public to play. The animations were amazing
Yooo these are really good
Great job matey
These are all fantastic!! Wow!!
I once imagined what the sprites of porkybots would be like if they were animated. They were exactly the same as how you animated them lol
Me omw to design animations for my bosses in my game
I like the way they're moving... even the way how some of them can change their form!
Alright, this is way too good to exist in this reality!
at 2:15 the tank driver looks pissed off that you ruined his tank now he has to take it to a tank mechanic to fix it
Really good work!!!
These are incredible!
My man you deserve more attention
They are all good, the three Guardians have so many poses, I hoped that each pose of theirs to get animations. Regardless it's still good.
This looks legit. Well done.
I think some of the earlier animations of the video are a little too fast, maybe slowing them down a bit would be nice, the later ones have better pacing. You did a great work animating it all, i loved it!!!
incredible idea and work
Can you make the sprite sheets for these public?? These are amazing! Would be awesome to incorporate these into a Mother 3 rom hack
Good job man. Good job
woah this is really good!
I know that I'm actually quite a bit late, but there's one clever detail I noticed and I didn't check the comments to see if anyone saw it. I noticed the sprites are actually synced to their songs BPM, which is a clever way of showing the importance of Mother 3's music in relation to its gameplay. Great job :D
8:47 Mechanical Porky 05 animates mechanically.
Seriously though, good work on these.
I now wonder how Earthbound bosses would look animated…
Love how most of them synch to the BG music.
We need an earthbound version
True.
OMG this is sooooo good !!!
Man, I loved those! Can me and my team use this concept in a fangame we're making?
Sure, I don't own the concept of animation lol
Please god, I need a rom hack with these
Very cool, but can you do Earthbound?
Seems more fitting for Mother 3, since it takes advantage of the GBA's power to use more fluent animations.
@@PKSuperStar256 Still it would be fun!
...
The evil running mushroom 🏃🍄 😆😂
@@GemCB7 that aint a boss, but it definitely should
Sync the animations with the boss's 'heartbeat' so you can time your rhythm with their animations. That would really push this to the next level. I see a few of them already kinda do that, like the Porky Statues and the Porkybots, and Miss Marshmallow once the music really gets up to full speed.
This would make it a lot easier to pull off combos though
I'm not crying at 9:35, you're crying
This gives life to the sprites cool
these are so great... hard to pick favorites
i know its not the most elaborate one, but i really like the eerie smile because, of all the battle sprites, the way that one in particular just floating still in place looked rather cheap to me in the original. if not all the sprites, it would be awesome if that enemy in particular had animation in the real game to really sell how creepy it is
These look really cool, I like them! Reminds me a lot of gen 5 pokemon animations
Also I like how the backgrounds are not animated whereas the bosses are. I don't know if that was intentional or not
this should be like a improvment rom hack
4:09 Joke Explainer 7000
this is so much, i love it
Amazing!!! Incredible workkkkk
Love the sound of your famitracker songs!
@@Euanverse Thank you!!
No way, this is sick. Amazing job.
Amazing!
What would be another nice addition is attack animations, as well as hurt animations
Dammit..I wasn’t expecting the Claus animation to hit me so hard
Now I imagine Them Doing The Whole Attack Animations
A cool thing would also be if they had idle animations.
oshode snake is a perfect example
Maybe cactus wolf could shake like it’s covered in dirt
These animations look really good, makes the game feel a little more alive
