Mother #

Could somebody please explain the storyline connection between this and Earthbound. I've played to what I believe is about half way through the game and I just don't see it.

Earthbound is Mother 2.

There has been various theory on this but it's basically like this:Spoiler (just a little):
In Mother (Earthbound Zero), Giegue (Giygas) tried to take over the world. Ninten, Ana, Lloyd, (and Teddy) tried to stop him...)
In Mother 2 (Earthbound), Giygas strikes back, with more evil in him. :P Our hero this time is Ness, Paula, Jeff, Poo...A pretty big spoiler for Mother 3:
Porky (Pokey from Earthbound) now's back and he's trying to play around with the village.That's all... :) The stories doesn't connect one to another very much...
