Mother 3 PSI, Special Abilities, & Items: All in One (UPDATED)
Channel: Everett Gladden
Date: 2021-09-05

This is a compilation of all the visual effects that play during the use of PSI, Special Abilities, and Items from Mother 3 for the Game Boy Advance. This new version now includes enemy PSI effects and other enemy special effects.

The player effects themselves were gathered by deleting all sprites for the battle menu and HUD from the game's code, using the cheat code 020047EC:FF to get into an encounter with no background, no music, and an invisible enemy, and triggering the effects during battle while recording them on an emulator (I used mGBA). The cheat code 02004233:XX was also used to place items into the inventory. Editing software (Adobe Premier Pro) was also used to remove any visual indicators of the enemy, as flashing due to the visual effects can cause the enemy sprite to become visible. This did not tamper with the effects themselves as the effects always overlap the enemy sprite.

For the enemy effects, I got into a fight with two enemies, used 020047EC:FF to make the first enemy a blank enemy, keeping the black background and no music, and used 020047EE:XX to make the second enemy whatever I needed to get the desired effect. Since the enemy texture was still present and I couldn't delete the texture in the game's code, and since both the sprite and some of the effects were on the same layer, I had to use editing software to remove the sprites on several occasions. I made sure to keep from the effect being tampered with visually to the best of my ability. Thank you to the commenter Minerali for the suggestion on how to extract these enemy psi and special ability effects.

This 2nd update includes effects missing from the previous version as well as sound effects taken directly from the game, rather than just recorded with the video. This allows for higher-quality sound effects that aren't cut off by damage or other sounds.

This will very likely be the last update video. If I am missing effects then they will be added to the playlist.

I got all my sound effects from the download link in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdbqFS989wk
