Courage Badge Keychain M3HB Print PDF M3HB Combo Pack

Our first book (well, second if you count the Anthology, but that’s not for sale) is the most labor-intensive project we’ve ever tackled: the gorgeous MOTHER 3 Handbook, an English language player’s guide to the world of MOTHER 3.

  • Full-color paperback
  • Perfect binding
  • 240 pages
  • Roughly 500 illustrations
  • Item / PSI / Food / Strategy tables and charts at the back
  • Free poster jacket!
    • This first edition of the guide ships with a terrifying half-poster half-dust-jacket chimera. The front gives your Handbook the appearance of a Pork Army Manual, while the back functions as a poster displaying a 9″ × 18″ collage of Meeellla’s enemy models.

This 240-page guide is absolutely packed with Jon Kay’s incredible design/layout talent. Each of the book’s 8 chapters is designed in a unique style, accented with boss/MC clay models sculpted by Camille Young (Meeellla), NPC and enemy illustrations by Emilio Orsi (emilio), and item illustrations by Sebastian Hardy (Sebastian).

On top of all that is a team of writers and editors who scoured every corner of the game and converted their knowledge into a helpful, thorough, and enjoyable handbook which will guide you through the world of MOTHER 3 instead of simply spitting out to-do lists.

A: Yep! Every book from this first run (preordered or not) will come with a free dust jacket that doubles as a poster :)

Q: Can I still get a keychain?
A: We stopped offering the free keychains on January 18, 2009. However, due to popular demand, we’re ordering a second run in bronze! You can now buy a new bronze Courage Badge for $10
