The joy of Mother is in the interstitial - it's the heartbeat after an NPC aside, when what seemed trivial is - on reflection - kind of profound.

It's in the small things. Anything that can remove the frustration that lies between the small things is a service.

This hack doesn't do enough. You'll still need a guide in parts, you'll need dungeon maps, liberal use of a speedup button on your emulator.

But it does enough to let those small moments shine through.
