There is a trans man who is a villain, but he isn't a predator and his gender identity doesn't have anything to do with him being a bad guy.

Somewhat – both parents of the main character neglect the main character in one way or another. There's no concious choice of "abandoning" but there's definitely a level of neglect for one reason or another

(SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR BOTH MOTHER 2/EARTHBOUND AND MOTHER 3) As was said on the Earthbound DTDD page, the main villain Porky comes from an abusive household and over the course of the game becomes manipulative and a bully. That abuse isn't mentioned in Mother 3, but if you do have that extra context it would fit this category.

No, but there's a visual gag in chapter 4 where 2 characters are in a hot spring together and the screen cuts to black while showing dialogue like "Just endure it" and "Don't struggle". Once the screen comes back it's shown that the other character was simply being held underwater the whole time.

There's a simple puzzle where you run into a stature holding a large steel ball, if you run into it from the telegraphed wrong side it falls on the player, while it's shown there are no sprites for them getting crushed, and cuts to the game over screen after, it's vaugely comical

In the first chapter, a character is hit over the head with a large piece of wood and is knocked unconcious. There's also a number of other times where characters go unconcious, the only other example I can think of being when your team washes up onto an island.

There is a laboratory used for splicing animals/various stuff together but there is no medical institution in the game with the purpose of housing/studying/torturing/helping people with mental illnesses. There's also a shoddy nursing home but that's also different from a mental institution/psychiatric ward.

Every time there's a lightning strike or the shock collar in chapter 3 is used, the screen shakes. Every time a needle is pulled in chapters 7 and 8, the screen shakes for 10-15 seconds. There's a late-game attack you can learn called PK Ground that causes an earthquake that shakes the screen. The ending cutscenes include lots of screen shaking.

Further context: while the above-mentioned transgender-coded characters are allies to the main cast, other characters occasionally make rude comments about them. They are also referred to with different pronouns by different characters, but their pronoun preference is never stated in-game.
