The whole thing with them is that they're infinite but have lower success rates then using PSI. The only two that really are useful are the Tickle Stick and Scary Mask since debuffing is annoying with PSI. Also the Siren Beetle is actually great if you're ever trying to collect all front and back sprites of the game's enemies.

Part 2 (I really didn't mean to make this so long)


For awhile Mother 3 actually sat in bargain bins in Japan, a lot of retailers overstocked on the game. It sold considerably okay, 420,000 copies, but still the damage was done. In recent years though it seems like it has a better image now there. On Earthbound Central Tomato did an article where he looked at comments from Japanese forums regarding the game. While some quite generous, like "I wish they’d have put more time into it, but I love Mother 3. I hope it gets localized. I think remaking it to fit Mr. Itoi’s original vision would be the best.", some other comments were pretty hateful, such as "I’m sure Nintendo wants to bury this failure of a game in the darkness forever. I bet they’re thinking on the inside, “Dammit, mind your own business and don’t bring this game back up!”. Honestly the game seems to be generally well regarded there but not as popular as either Mother 1 or Mother 2.
