Is it worth playing if I never beat Earthbound? I started to at one point, but it's from the dark times before we figured out how to write an RPG engine that didn't suck tremendously.

Watch and learn, kid.
It's a good idea to play EarthBound first since there are some twists in MOTHER 3 that relate to EB, but if you don't care about spoilerish stuff I say go ahead and play it. I'll tell you this, though: The battle mode is a lot more fun than EB's. Granted, the PSI attacks don't have the "seizure-inducing" nature of their EB-counterparts, but...

The characters and plot are less vague and more fleshed out this time around, the sprites are REALLY well animated at times (such as a certain scene 2/3 through chapter 1. Anyone who's gotten that far knows what I'm talking about)

I noticed. That scene was great. Probably the best cut scene in any GBA game, because it was so fluid.

I'm on chapter 4 now, and god damnit the attic is a bitch. Fucking musical instruments.

The bosses in chapter 7 are much more annoying and only get more difficult...

I'm past that now.

In the first turn, have Boney and Lucas both throw pencil bombs, that takes out both the guitar and the drum. Then have Lucas heal and once both characters are at decent health, cast PSI offense and defense up. Then keep hitting him until he dies.

I had to grind for a while to beat him, though. While I did that Lucas learned PSI lifeup B and also PSI defense up.

Oh, and if you're not at good health, save at the frog then die, when you continue you'll be at full health again. Just don't die to him after using the pencil bombs, you don't get those back and they're expensive. :/

Yeah, that bass boss was a bit of a hassle due to the jam session attack. I really don't like to resort to attack items as my key to victory, but other than that and PK Love, there's no other way around it.

I didn't ever grind until before the last boss, and as a result went into nearly every boss fight extremely underleveled. Made for a hell of a challenge. :p

I beat the game a little while ago and shed a tear at the ending. No spoilarz of course~

EDIT: Random word of advice to all so you can avoid my frustration; DON'T use PK Thunder on the Mecha-Gorilla boss, he will short-circuit and do a berserk attack that is pretty fucking impossible to live through for more than a few turns.

You don't get any pencil rockets, you have to buy them from the mouse near the beginning of the attic.

Anyway, I'm now on chapter 5. Loving the game so far. There's so much going on. :D
