Mother 3 was Chuggaaconroy's 5th Let's Play. With 108 videos and a time length of 16 hours, it is one of his longest Let's Plays to date, and his third longest overall (behind Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2). The game follows Lucas, a young boy with psychic abilities, and a party of characters as they attempt to prevent a mysterious invading army from corrupting and destroying the world.
Having completed EarthBoundandMother as his first and second Let's Plays, Emile went back to the Mother series for his fifth and most ambitious Let's Play. Mother 3 was facilitated by use of an emulator and the Mother 3 Fan Translation by Starmen.Net.
I personally consider this to be my best work. It may be my longest LP, but I feel that I needed that amount of time to make this one. It's one of the few things I've done that I'm genuinely proud of.
"We enter Mother 3 World, The Nowhere Islands. Meet a few of our important characters, namely Lucas and Claus. We then proceed to show off a few secrets and have our first battle. But that's enough for today!"
"The twins and their mother leave grandpa Alec's house to return home to their father. We join their father, Flint back in Tazmily Village to find the Sunshine Forest is on fire. We go with Thomas to investigate and to rescue Lighter and Fuel who are trapped inside."
"We head into the burning Sunshine Forest, see some men in pig suits that are unleashing some bugs that breath fire into the forest in order to spread the fire. We eventually find Lighter, but where's Fuel?"
"We go into Lighter's Cabin to rescue Fuel. We leave the forest and see Lighter got roughed up pretty bad. But, wait! This is the least of our worries! Hinawa and the kids haven't returned yet!"
"We see Hinawa's letter reading that she and the twins will return home today, but the sun has already set and they still haven't returned! We get the villagers together to go look for them in Sunshine Forest."
"We meet Duster who gets us up the cliff. We see the top is ridden with Drago claw marks and find a scrap of Hinawa's dress. We look around for a little bit up at the top, but then..."
"We attend Hinawa's funeral, but find out that Claus has gone missing to avenge the death of his mother by going into the mountains to find and kill Drago. We get prepared to head out into the mountains."
"The camera now pans to Duster! We our given our first mission as thieves and head to Osohe Castle with our new Theif Tools to bring back a treasure of somekind. But on the way, we run into some trouble..."
"We break into Osohe Castle, meet many different kinds of ghosts inhabiting the castle, and do a bit of exploring to find the treasure that Wess sent us after."
"We get into the upper floors of Osohe Castle and discover a civilization of some still friendly ghosts. After that, we fight a couple of optional bosses!"
"We open with the camera now in the Death Desert following a monkey captured by the Pigmasks to help Fassad into making the villagers believe his kindness. Forced to help Fassad against his will so that his girlfriend may be safe."
"We explore the desert and find the building Fassad was talking about, but there's a fierce wolf with a cactus growing on its head blocking the way to it."
"We go around to deliver the Happy Boxes in hopes of being given some food. Afterward, Fassad gets a call to head to Osohe Castle, we go to investigate it."
...Yeah, don't whine about it being late. I wasn't feeling up to making it and I don't force myself to record when feeling ill because it would hurt the quality."
"Now if only YouTube could get rid of the time limit, my videos would look perfect in here with the addition of the widescreen player making the GBA resolution look even nicer and all..."
"We fight Lord Passion for Duster's ultimate weapon, the Mystical Shoes. Then we go back to the Murasaki Forest to reach Unknown Valley so that we may continue the adventure."
"We fight the Fierce Pork Trooper and then go explore the highway to find a mouse who has lost her seven children. We go in search of them for a nice reward."
"We find out what happens next to Lucas and Boney after falling from Sunflower Fields... Sorry for the late update for those who were on the edge of their seat last time."
"We look around for somewhere else to go and stumble upon the Mole Cricket from the beginning of the adventure who has information about the third Needle!"

During the rematch for the Fierce Pork Trooper, when the Trooper "jumped on top of Kumatora and punched away", he responds with " I wanted to be on Kumator-EEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!"
Trivia[]
This Let's Play was probably the start of Chuggaaconroy's running gag of having a "crush" on characters inside the game, especially those with red-hair, with his on going joke of having a crush on Kumatora.
At one point during the Let's Play, the Kumatora fanart (created by Matilda Caboose) was heavily criticized and received negative feedback to the point that the original artist received death threats and other ridicule. Chuggaaconroy removed and reuploaded videos with edited art and at one point created a audio vlog on his channel about the issue, expressing complete disappointment and disgust with the fans. This video was since then removed and the situation has been resolved.
Chapter 8 Episode 15 had to be uploaded on Machinima due to the 10 minute video time limit, which would have cut the fight in a bad spot. Machinima didn't reference Emile in the video, the title, or the description. They also added a huge watermark and their Machinima original intro, sparking a bad reaction from fans in the comment section. For a while, the episode wasn't reuploaded on Emile's channel when the time limit was extended, likely because he didn't have the original recording at the time. After Machinima deleted all the videos in the channel, Emile reuploaded the video to his channel, unlisted to avoid giving spoilers.
