I am not sure how to handle situations like this. If I remove this guy's text, I'll violate a policy. What to do? /panic Blue Ninjakoopa 04:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Origin

Does anybody know for sure that this is actually the Zoo from Mother? Because I've beaten Mother and this "Ruined Zoo" doesn't look anything like the Zoo in Mother (of course, I wouldn't know what else it would be based off of). Unknown the Hedgehog 22:24, 7 November 2010 (EST)

I mean, that's sorta like asking if The Canyon is any specific Canyon. Obviously some things were invented from scratch while some (i.e. Battleship Halberd Bridge) are clear references. Having never played Mother, I'm really not sure which end of the spectrum this leans towards more. Miles (talk) 22:26, 7 November 2010 (EST)

It's plausible the Mushroomy Kingdom treatment was applied, making the place look decrepit to show how long it's been since the game happened. (Though I've never played the game either so this is as speculatory as anythying else.) Toomai Glittershine 22:29, 7 November 2010 (EST)

^Possibly, but I think there's way too many differences. [1] <--Original map Unknown the Hedgehog 22:31, 7 November 2010 (EST)

The stage itself is not based off of the Zoo from EB0. However, the concept of being in an abandoned Zoo is one from EB0. In addition, this is where the Earthbound characters appear, as well as Red, who is thought to be based off of Ninten. So an image isn't really necessary of the Zoo from Mother.

That being the case, should we add something to the Trivia section that talks about the possible nod to Mother's zoo? --Spudwalt (talk) 19:53, 12 December 2010 (EST)

Sure. Mr. Anon (talk) 19:57, 12 December 2010 (EST)

OK! Just shut up.
