Anti-fascism, consumerism, and capitalism? These are all themes MOTHER 3's chapter 4 begins to introduce. In the span of 3 years, Tazmily (and its people) have been transformed by greed--while the village now prospers from the introduction of commerce and industry, its residents can't help but want more. Some of them even like the creepy chimeras commissioned by the army, and many aspire to join their cause.
