The Mother 3 Petition can be described as nothing short of a leviathan effort. Everything about it was huge; the number of signatures we got, the number of pages it took to print, the number of sites that mentioned it, the number of dollars it took to ship two copies to Japan (eek). Below we've listed quite a few interesting figures.
