As of now I've gotten halfway through Mother 3. The game is supposedly subdivided into 8 chapters and I beat the fourth one. I recently realized something about the game that I decided I should note.
In Japan the game is approved for all ages. However the translators decided to add some cuss words. So if you are extremely offended by cusses then stay away from the game. I don't endorse cussing, but oftentimes I view cuss words as a way to express more extreme adjectives/emotions. Thus when I played the game I hardly noticed that the words were there. But maybe that's just me; I just wanted to put a disclaimer/warning up here before I mislead anyone.
Of course compared to many non-Nintendo games the cussing doesn't exist. For example Final Fantasy 7, even though I've only played a small part of both games I can say that FF7 has much more violent language then Mother 3.
Mother 3 has an emotional storyline, much more so than Earthbound. The cusses I feel help to better convey the emotion in the story. I'm saying all of this because I think the game is great, and while I will do a review later, I'm going to suggest the game to any RPG fan. I am just saying there are cusses, but only if you're very, very, offended by cusses should you worry.

Censorship is decaying. Final Fantasy II, on the SNES, had no cussing as far as I can remember, but the dancers in the towns wore bikinis or something. Then the re-release came out, Final Fantasy IV Advance, and there was lots of swearing but the dancers were wearing modest dresses. Um, hello? When they re-release Chrono Trigger on the DS, are they going to completely overhaul the cavepeople outfits because they aren't modest? They're small, two-dimensional characters -- much less of an issue than completely readable profanity!
