This is a two player light gun game set in the creepy. Coincidentally, Mama is fought at the exact same graveyard where Walter's grave is first seen in Silent Hill 2. In their coverage of AOU2007, Game Watch shows off Konami’s newest arcade game, Silent Hill: The Arcade.

The music that plays during the battle with Mama is the same as the boss theme for Walter Sullivan in Silent Hill 4: The Room.

The two both have similar attack styles, first attacking with their arms and then resorting to high speed crawling and attacking from both the ceiling and the floor.

Mama's upright stance, figure, cry, and general appearance are all very similar to the Scarlet boss from Silent Hill: Homecoming and may have influenced her creation.

Other theories suggest that, as the monster resembles Emilie, it represents her possession, drawn in by Hanna's mother. It is possible that the monster represents an older Hanna, possibly implying that she was tormented about dying and not being able to grow up. It's also possible that Mama represents fear of venomous animals as well: when running on all fours, it moves very similary to a spider. The Creepers spawning from Mama's mouth may symbolize Hanna's feelings towards her mother's words, attributing to the term 'spewing poison' when someone shrouds their lies with kind words. The monster greatly resembles a mannequin therefore, it can be seen as cold: an empty shell of the real person. The creature is likely based on Hanna's memory of her mother, a dominant figure the extended hands serve as a reminder of how she was lifted and thrown into the water. Its face resembles a mix of Hanna's and Emilie's, which may mean the two are related or connected, like Mary and Maria. The game makes a tremendous departure from the Silent Hill :tm: series well-known third-person survival horror mechanics during gameplay.
