This stage is primarily based on {{s|wikibound|Magicant}} from ''{{iw|wikibound|Mother|video game}}'' (later released outside Japan as ''EarthBound Beginnings''), but also contains various elements from ''{{s|wikibound|Mother 2}}'' (localized as ''EarthBound'') as well. | This stage is primarily based on {{s|wikibound|Magicant}} from ''{{iw|wikibound|Mother|video game}}'' (later released outside Japan as ''EarthBound Beginnings''), but also contains various elements from ''{{s|wikibound|Mother 2}}'' (localized as ''EarthBound'') as well. | ||
In ''EarthBound Beginnings'', 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 {{s|wikibound|America}} 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 is revealed to have 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 Beginnings'', Magicant is a mysterious land made of pink clouds and light green rivers, and it is where {{s|wikibound|Queen Mary}} resides.

In '' | In ''Earthbound'', Magicant is a surreal land in {{s|wikibound|Ness}}'s mind and is accessed by collecting the Eight Melodies. The appearence of Ness's Magicant differs vastly from Queen Mary's, in that it appears as a colorful imaginary world that changes color as he talks to people there. The idea of the rip in the sky could be a reference to how Magicant contains memories of Ness's adventure, such as allowing him to meet various characters from his adventure who remind him of the things he did. Ness then has to travel through the {{s|wikibound|Sea of Eden}} in order to defeat [[wikibound:Ness's Nightmare|all evil in his mind]]. In this stage, the only element from ''EarthBound'''s Magicant is the giant tomato that occasionally appears. | ||

Five [[wikibound:Flying Man|Flying Men]] inhabit Magicant in both games: they are humanoid bird-like creatures which {{s|wikibound|Ninten}} and Ness can recruit to help them fight against enemies while in Magicant. They are said to represent Ness's and Ninten's courage. When a Flying Man is killed in battle, a tombstone with a cross will appear next to their home, and another will appear for every Flying Man killed until all five are dead. In this stage, the design of the Flying Men and their house is based on the ''EarthBound'' version. | Five [[wikibound:Flying Man|Flying Men]] inhabit Magicant in both games: they are humanoid bird-like creatures which {{s|wikibound|Ninten}} and Ness can recruit to help them fight against enemies while in Magicant.

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 ''Smash''. | ||
