A young boy named Ninten is woken up when a poltergeist haunts his home on the outskirts of Podunk. All of the evil in the world is being amplified by the presence of an alien being known as Giegue. Ninten learns that in order to fight Giegue he will have to find the eight melodies, located around the land.
Along the way, Ninten meets new friends who help you fight, including Ana, Loid and Teddy.
By fighting enemies you gain experience that you need to level up and become stronger. Ninten and his teammates can gain new weapons and learn PSI powers to make them stronger.
Cameos
DraQue4 & SMB7
One of the kids in Twinkle Elementary School asks whether you have played Dragon Quest 4 (shortened to DraQue), an RPG by Enix that wasn't released until the February after Mother's release.
In the translated but unreleased U.S. version on NES, the boy's line was changed to asking whether you've played the fictional Super Mario Bros. 7, as he is still playing Super Mario Bros. 3.
