 During November of 2004, a mysterious screenshot appeared on the Japanese side of the net. The screenshot bore a striking resemblence to the previous two Mother(EarthBound) games, especially the first. The menu was basically a replication of Mother's. There were many other specific similarities. It is unknown where this screenshot originated. It is thought to be some sort of hoax, but this was never proven. Could this be a leaked screenshot of Mother 3 or could it be from a secretly developed fangame? The truth has yet to be revealed.

 The building is very similar to buildings found in the first Mother, though the angle is slightly different.

 The supposed main character from the screenshots looks very similar to Ninten, the main character of Mother(EarthBound 0).
|
 This girl looks very much like the girl picking mushrooms in Peaceful Rest Valley in Mother 2(EarthBound).

 The kid with glasses looks like this NPC from Earthbound(Mother 2) that appears in a few different locations.
