'''Magicant''' ({{ja|マジカント|Majikanto}}, ''Magicant'') is a stage in {{for3ds}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In ''Smash for 3DS'', it is {{SSB4|Ness}} and {{SSB4|Lucas}}'s [[home stage]], and it is where Ness is fought when being unlocked. The stage is unlocked along with him.

*the Sky Runner, which quickly drops down, remains suspended above the stage for a while and quickly rises back up into the sky. It is completely solid.

[[Flying Man|Flying Men]] sometimes appear on the right platform, in front of the shell-shaped house. If a character walks by him, the Flying Man will fight alongside them, akin to an Assist Trophy. The Flying Man can be defeated by other characters by knocking him off the stage or inflicting enough damage (if the latter happens, the Flying Man lies on the ground, flashes and disappears): following this, a small tombstone spawns in the background, in front of the house; after some time, another Flying Man will spawn in the same location, repeating the process. After five Flying Men have been defeated, they will not spawn for the rest of the match.

The rip does not occur when playing Local Wireless or Online.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', the platform is an extended version of the regular form's middle platform, and it is a [[hard platform]] as opposed to being a [[semisoft platform]] as in the regular form. Flying Men and Mobile Sprouts do not appear.

This stage is primarily based on {{s|wikibound|Magicant}} from ''[[wikibound:Mother (video game)|Mother]]'' (later released outside Japan as ''EarthBound Beginnings''), but also contains various elements from ''{{s|wikibound|EarthBound}}'' as well.

In ''Mother'', Magicant is a mysterious land made of pink clouds and light green rivers, and it is where {{s|wikibound|Queen Mary}} resides. The main goal of the game is gathering the {{s|wikibound|Eight Melodies}} around the countryside and singing the full song to Queen Mary, upon which it is revealed that Queen Mary is the embodiment of the consciousness of {{s|wikibound|Maria}}. She then recalls that she raised {{s|wikibound|Giegue}}, the main antagonist, and the melody was the lullaby she would sing to him. Magicant, which existed only in her mind, then disappears along with her. In this stage, the design of Magicant is retained; however, Queen Mary's castle is notably absent.

In ''EarthBound'', Ness's progress through areas was sometimes impeded by statues shaped like octopi, and  the only way to get rid of them was by using the [[wikibound:List of key items in EarthBound#Pencil eraser|Octopus Eraser Machine]] item invented by {{s|wikibound|Apple Kid}}. The North American localization of ''EarthBound'' replaced the octopus statues with large pencil statues, though this change does not carry over to non-Japanese versions of ''SSB4''.

Note that in ''EarthBound'', the octopus statues, Mobile Sprouts, the Sky Runner, and Dungeon Man have no relationship at all to Magicant.

:{{Flag|North America}} ''A magical world in Mother and EarthBound, brought to life by the memories of certain characters. In this game, Magicant is a cloud stage where giant tomatoes, metal octopuses, and even the Sky Runner may appear. Even the hulking Dungeon Man may show up. What an unusual battlefield...''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''A world in Mother and EarthBound that brings your memories to life. In this game, it's a cloud stage where giant tomatoes, metal octopuses and the Sky Runner can appear at any moment. Dungeon Man might even show his face too, which, all in all, makes for a very unusual battle environment.''

*Magicant is the first ''EarthBound'' stage to be based on a location from ''[[wikibound:Mother (video game)|Mother]]''.

*In both Ness's unlock battle and in the [[All-Star Mode]], the Flying Men do not spawn.

*Flying Men were originally intended to be in 3D (with both a 3D model and a 2D sprite developed), but the 2D sprite was chosen. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated, in a weekly issue of Famitsu magazine, that the 2D sprite was chosen to lessen strain on the 3DS hardware. <ref>http://nintendoeverything.com/sakurai-on-why-smash-bros-3ds-came-out-before-the-wii-u-version-changes-in-final-smashes-stage-tidbit/</ref>

**While the unused 3D model was completely removed from the game during development, Sakurai stated it was later recycled during development of [[DLC]] and became a [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Wave 3|costume]] for the {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}.

**Oddly enough, despite the Switch being able to handle having 3D models, the stage still uses the 2D sprites in ''Ultimate''.

*In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', if one zooms in with the camera and looks inside Dungeon Man, they can see Brick Road, the man who built, and became, Dungeon Man.
