Magicant in Mother

Magicant is an area in Mother, in which Queen Mary resides, for whom Ninten collects the Eight Melodies, and exists only in her mind. A similar location of the same name would also appear in EarthBound as a land in Ness' mind, accessed by collecting the Eight Melodies, in which he rids all evil within him. This stage is based off Magicant in Mother, but contains elements from EarthBound as well.

One of the residents of Magicant, in both Mother and EarthBound, are the five Flying Men. Flying Men are bipedal bird creatures with human qualities that Ninten and Ness can recruit with them to help fight against enemies in Magicant. In this stage, a Flying Man can appear from the house on the right side of the stage and help fight the enemy player. The design of the Flying Man himself is directly based off his 2D sprite in EarthBound.

In EarthBound, there are certain paths that are blocked throughout the game by iron pencil statues. The only way to get rid of the iron pencils is by using the Pencil Eraser item invented by Apple Kid. In the Japanese version of EarthBound, rather than iron pencils, the statues are iron octopuses, and rather the item to make them disappear being called the "Pencil Eraser", it is called the "Octopus Eraser Machine". In this stage, large octopus statues have a chance of appearing on the platforms of the stage. The statue eventually disappears on its own.

Also in EarthBound, Dr. Andonuts, Jeff's father, created the Sky Runner for air transportation. When enemies trap Ness and Paula under Threed's graveyard, Paula telepathically calls Jeff for help. Jeff then goes to his father's lab and uses the Sky Runner to fly across the world to Threed to save Ness and Paula. In this stage, the Sky Runner occasionally appears from above, and its design was retained from EarthBound, albeit in 3D.

Occasionally in the background of this stage, a "rip" in sky opens and shows points in Ninten's and Ness's adventures in their respective games. As of now, the confirmed reported appearances are:

• Ninten outside his house with his dog, Mick.
• Ninten on the roof of Twinkle Elementary School meeting Lloyd.
• Ness and Paula traveling in Threed with citizens and enemy zombies in the area.
• Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo at the Lumine Hall sanctuary.

Trivia

• This is the first EarthBound stage to be based on a location from Mother.
