During Nintendo's digital event at E3 2014, Nintendo made a humorous reference to "Mother 3"s lack of a localization by presenting a stop-motion animation created by "Robot Chicken". The short features a fan in attendance talking to then-Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé. After the fan says "Come on, Reggie, give us "Mother 3"!", Fils-Aimé responds by saying "How about this instead?" and then proceeds to eat a Fire Flower from the "Super Mario" series in order to throw a fireball at the fan.
