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.

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.

In '' | In ''Mother 2'', 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 ''Smash''. | ||
{{s|wikibound|Mobile Sprout}}s are enemies in ''EarthBound'', appearing early in the game. They are walking bipedal sprouts which can summon more of themselves during battle. | {{s|wikibound|Mobile Sprout}}s are enemies in ''EarthBound'', appearing early in the game.
