" The thing about "you" in the Mother universe is that you're God. Against all odds, you, the last person in the universe, the strongest thing Paula could pray to, were who killed Giygas, the very embodiment of hate. At about this time, Porky had probably figured that there was an outside force helping his enemies, something bigger than him, something unstoppable. So in the time that you, the player, weren't there, he was able to do things that you couldn't stop him from doing. When Mother 3 starts, he's trapped in that world, time travel had essentially locked him out, and that's because you, the God of that universe, master of everything in it, had prohibited him from traveling through time again. The boat ride through the memories is another instance of Porky acknowledging your existence, showing you those things from your past just to spite you. With his time travel, Porky considered himself on your level, and ultimately, putting himself in the absolutely safe capsule was a way for him to protect himself not from people, but from the true God of his universe."
