I'm a noob to music so Pumpy_Heart gave me some major help over AIM. (thanks)
The adjustments he told me to make are currently being added.
Enjoy and Please Criticize
I'll go ahead and answer some questions you guys might have.
Q: What is Mother 3?
A: The sequel to EarthBound (the game Ness stars in), it stars Lucas (from Brawl)
Q: Why is it called Mother 3?
A: That's its Japanese name, it's named after a song by John Lennon
Q: The numbers don't quite match up... (Mother 3 /EarthBound 2)
A: That's because the first game in the series never left Japan
Q: What is the first game in the series?
A: Mother 1 was released for the NES, it almost hit the U.S as EarthBound.
Q: Almost?
A: Yeah Nintendo completely finished localizing,translating, and had an advertizing campaign prepared for the game, but by the time they were done they decided that the U.S. would not be interested because we already had the SNES
Q: Where is the English version now?
A: In 1999 a prototype of the game showed up on Ebay, a team called Demiforce "borrowed" it for 400$ and dumped it into a ROM, and added Zero to the title so there would be no confusion over the SNES game. So the game is now known as EarthBound Zero.
Q: How do I know it's not a fan translation?
A: Many features were added to ease the experience up that weren't in the original Japanese version, but then Mother 1 + 2 was released for the GBA in Japan and it added these features to the Japanese game.
Q: So why has Mother 3 not left Japan?
A: No one knows... Reggie Fis-Aime is even quoted in a video interview as being "bombarded" by Mother fans.
Q: Will it be available anywhere else?
A: Not sure, it is rumored that all 3 games will be released for the DS. Though a fan translation is in the process

****************** POSSIBLE BRAWL SPOILERS ******************
Q: In Brawl that EarthBound boss is clearly Pokey Minch, why was he called Porky?
A: That's his name in Japan, though it may have been retconned.
