MOTHER 3 Sprites
A few months ago, Jeff wrote a program to dump all of MOTHER 3’s sprites from the ROM. There are so many sprites in the game that they had to be stored in an unfriendly way, you see.
Anyway, you can now download them here:
Be careful, though! Because of how computer file systems work, you’ll need about 100+ MB of free space on your hard drive for all these tiny .png files, even though they technically total 15 or 20 MB.
Anyway, have fun exploring all the sprites, and keep an eye out on all the weird, unused/hidden stuff too!
holy moly!! that is a lot of sprites!
Neat Stuff! =D
Kewl!!!
Downloading them now. Funny, I was thinking today about checking out Mother 3’s sprites after I finally beat it…
Oh, man! Does this mean I can finally make my coveted salsadance.gif?
SALSA DANCE .GIF WOULD BE THE BEST GIF EVER
100mb?
that seems a little… huge.
also, i’m guessing these are copyrighted?
I can’t wait to get my frog driving a car!!!
*twitch*
Why are there so many folders of the naked man?! How many placeholders did they need?!
I take it we don’t get the in-battle portraits?
Been looking forward to these. Thanks a lot.
Downloading them now.
johto: You can find the in-battle pics on the walkthrough site for now. These are just the outside sprites.
Interesting set of sprites you’ve got here…
What’s with the yellow slime o.o
@noco: The size depends on the cluster size that you formatted your hard disk. For example, if your cluster size is 4096 bytes, then even a 1 byte file will take 4096 bytes on the disk. A 4097 byte file will take 8192 bytes, or two clusters. Usually, the average clustersize/2 wasted per file doesn’t matter much for larger files, but when you have many extremely small files, it can add up quickly.
Thanks, Mato. I really appreciate these blog entries after the patch release, no matter what they entail. And so far, they have been pure awesome~
Game sprites for th
:l
Looking forwards to looking at these once I’ve finished the game. I’ll download them for now and browse through them later. Thx for tis and look forwards to any extra goodies you guys have.
okay, so I raided the ROM for every address of images and graphics that need changes when translating them to other languages.
actually, I found quite a few… so, here’s my list, I thought you might wanna post this somewhere, as every translation team will need these addresses (special thanks to Jeffman for telling me how to edit compressed graphics)

ah, shucks, I forgot to add the non-compressed DP transfer screen… aw, figure it out for yourselves, these are all compressed graphics.
also, I see what you did thar.
massage me?!
I assume/assumed Jeff will be supplying each team with the uncompressed gfx, since they’re really easy to edit.
well, I asked him if he could tell me a bit about how to do it, and he explained it to me, also stating he may write a tutorial for everyone… anyways, that’s the list I found. there may be one or two I overlooked, though. do with it what you think.
This is my favorite thing ever. I love it. The sheer number of sprites is absolutely incredible. I’m making gifs.
Mato thanks for all these great sprites and in the second pack of sprites I notice a couple of weird and I think unused sprites one was a sprite of Lucas body with a bird head and the other one is a different version of Porky that guess was not used in the game.
@ Kasumi:
Sweet! Post them in the SM.net forums!
Interesting… the file “porky (1)” contains a weird version of porky encased in some sort of glass pod.
maybe he was going to end up like geuige in m1?
whoa. flashback.
@noco: Everything is copyrighted, silly. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. You have to violate the copyright merely to play the translation, no matter how you do it, because the copyright holder has the exclusive right to authorize translations. And they didn’t authorize any of us. Like I said, don’t worry about it
If Nintendo planned to complain, they would have.
Most of the NOA staff are probably busy playing the game and wondering how they could have gotten the oxygen machines past the censors. Maybe if they removed the lip animation/blushing and made it fade to black instead of pink…
nah, they’re happy with mato’s translation
For the oxygen machines they probably would have just tooled a completely different sprite, like maybe… an oxygen machine hah. That would have made the Pigmask’s complaints about being uncomfortable with getting oxygen that way lose all of its meaning though
. Of course they probably would have found some way to work around that. But meh, I prefer Mother 3 in all its unrated glory.
Hey mato, thanks for the Frog car GIF.
I was curious, how much of a hand did you have in that Mother3 book that is coming out?
I think it looks pretty neat.
What are your thoughts on it?
Wow… This will be really neat to flip through. Thanks tons.
oh so they are just picuters,?? and no addon to use on the game?
btw hey mato
what do you do now days ?is it kinda sad to see mother finished?
Bah, there’s nothing wrong the oxygen machines. It’s not even creepy, like the falsely suggestive Magypsy/Lucas hotspring scene. The oxygen machines are just silly – they’re still machines, and they’re just pumping air into your lungs in a bizarre (but direct!) fashion.
These are awesome. Thanks, Mother 3 Translation Team (except for Mato.)
Hey, don’t know if anyone posted this one yet, but I think I’ve stumbled across an issue with translation patch 1.0. I was fighting a slitherhen, and it coiled around boney, at which point the text displayed, “The boney can’t move!” Just figured that someone ought to know. The game is awesome though. Thanx Mato and crew~!
jeez, did no one read the readme?
Apparently not.
It’s a known bug that was known BEFORE the patch was released. The translation team tried fixing it, and it usually seems to be fixed, but there are some instances where it’ll say “The can’t move!” or something. Even then it’s not a big deal, since it doesn’t crash the game or anything.
This is pretty awesome, Mato.
For some reason my quote got butchered in the last post…
I meant to put: “The (character) can’t move!” I guess “><” don’t show up in posts.
The Flint ca
Do you miss your giant cult following mato?
The cult following hasn’t gone anywhere, everyone’s just been spending time playing the patch now that it’s been released, and frequenting Starmen.
;_;
i still visit here
lol yeah same here noco
I prefer quietness and calmness, so it’s A-OK with me
There’s still be an occasional update every few weeks or months, but it’s nice to have all that insanity behind us now. I’m kind of sick of the game right now, so the translation notes and such will be slow for a while.
That’s fine by me. You deserve a break, Mato.
And you did a great job with the patch. I really enjoyed it. So, thank you, Mato.
Thanks again Mato!! I’m still haven’t beat it, even though I got the patch on day 1. Playing through it slowly really makes me appreciate it more. THANKS AGAIN!!!
Woo, the patch has now been out for a whole month
I finished over the weekend! I played for a couple of hours each night for several weeks and had a great experience. I think this is the only game I’ve played that has made me cry. I’m a recent father and the husband-wife/father-son interactions really impacted me. I felt so bad for Flint.
For me, the end of chapters 1 and 8 along with the beginning of chapter 4 affected me the most. I felt somewhat violated at the start of chapter 4; I was disgusted with the changes of Tazmily but at the same time they felt very familiar.
Mato, superb job with all that you and the rest of the crew did. I was never once distracted from the story by the writing. It flowed wonderfully and felt very natural. Thank you for providing a smooth channel to enjoy this game.
Well Mato, at least you’ll have a nice story to tell your kids and grandkids.
Who knows? Maybe Mother 4 will come out and maybe you’ll translate it. (*cough*)
i only get to play once a week
There will never be a mother 4 :{
