Hey there, people of Starmen.net!

A few months ago, I was casually playing and finishing my second playthrough of Mother 3, when suddenly Lucas caught a fever in the “END?” scene!

In the images attached with this post, you can clearly see that Lucas catches a fever and gets cured of it in the postgame.

Apparently, Lucas is controlled in the “END?” scene, albeit Lucas speaks to the player, who is supposedly controlling himself!

This change in the party is visible in the second part of the final battle, as Lucas is left alone at that point.

If someone makes a Save or Save State Editor similar to the ones made for Earthbound, we should examine the party at that point in the game!

I’ve taken the liberty of uploading a save file of the game, for everyone to try this out. Lucas is at Level 57, a battle or two from leveling up and learning Refresh. Click here to download the file and try this out! I suggest using cheat codes and speeding up your emulator to skip the final battle. (and not cry)

Thanks for reading this and I hope we figure out this thing the developers overlooked!
