About the Games in the Collection

Music Differences
One interesting thing about Mother 1 + 2 is the music. The music in Mother 2 is mostly the same as the original Super Famicom version. However, the music for the first Mother game was changed a lot.

Gameplay Fun
In both games, you explore different towns and areas. You talk to people, gather clues, and fight enemies. Battles happen in a turn-based style.

The games are full of memorable characters and funny situations.
Why This Collection Matters
