'''Podunk''' is a town in [[America]], and is the first town in '' | '''Podunk''' ('''マザーズデイの町''' ''Mother's Day'') is a town in [[America]], and is the first town in ''[[EarthBound Beginnings]]''. It is [[Ninten]]'s hometown, and has a couple of attractions such as a [[Choucream Zoo|zoo]] and the [[Canary Village]]. Podunk also has a large [[South Cemetery|graveyard]], which Ninten visits to go save [[Pippi]] from fake zombies residing there. When Ninten's journey first starts, Podunk is victim to many supernatural occurrences, such as poltergeists in people's homes and even going as far as destroying one man's house completely. Podunk has a population of 31 individuals, an average temperature of 15°C, and its main industries are agriculture and sightseeing.<ref name=MothersDayRef>[[:File:MothersDayRef.jpg|Excerpt from Mother's Day's (Podunk's) Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref> | ||

Being the first town which [[Ninten]] visits (and begins at), many introductory events occur; especially the first major happening when a poltergeist appears in [[Ninten's house|his home]], which acts as the main event for his quest to initiate. The poltergeist manages to control several inanimate objects, and the phenomenon doesn't end until Ninten defeats the [[Doll]] in [[Mimmie and Minnie|Mimmie]]'s room, which also possesses the [[Eight Melodies|first melody]], whose significance is left unspecified at this point of the plot. After the occurrence is over, the initiation of the quest is set after a conversation with his dad via the house's telephone, where he vaguely explains it as the time for Ninten to explore the potential of his powers. After gaining access to the family's basement and obtaining his [[List of key items in Mother|Great-Grand Father's Diary]], which acts as a relatively major plot element, Ninten leaves for the more populated area of Podunk. | Being the first town which [[Ninten]] visits (and begins at), many introductory events occur; especially the first major happening when a poltergeist appears in [[Ninten's house|his home]], which acts as the main event for his quest to initiate.

On the way south to Podunk, Ninten meets the mother of a [[Pippi|child]] who has gotten lost in the town's cemetery, which now has gotten infested with zombies and other hostile creatures. Much commotion and distress occur in the town as several ominous events are going on; poltergeists who are troubling the inhabitants, zombies who have been seen roaming around, animals which have went out of control at the town's zoo, and a girl who has vanished in the midst of it all. When arriving at the main portion of the town Ninten meets the [[Mayor of Podunk|mayor]] in the City Hall, who is more concerned about how this will affect the upcoming election. He takes advantage of the situation and sends Ninten to find the lost girl in order for him to get the status of a hero. Once Ninten manages to save the girl named [[Pippi]], who had been hiding under a coffin deep inside of the cemetery, the mayor will bribe him with {{$}}100 and the [[List of key items in Mother|key to the zoo]], in hope that Ninten also will deal with problems occurring there. The residents of the town will after the rescue express praise for Ninten's deed when talked to. | On the way south to Podunk, Ninten meets the mother of a [[Pippi|child]] who has gotten lost in the town's cemetery, which now has gotten infested with fake zombies and other hostile creatures.

Before going to the [[Choucream Zoo|zoo]] to the north, Ninten goes to [[Canary Village]] (which he actually can choose to do before saving Pippi), where the second melody can be found. The village's residents do mostly consist of canaries; Ninten can receive the song from the one located to the north, behind the wall, who is named [[Laura]]. Upon arriving there, she will express great sadness as her [[List of key items in Mother|baby canary]] is missing. Ninten must buy the baby from the department store of Podunk to trigger the melody to be sung by Laura, as she will rejoice by the reunion. | Before going to the [[Choucream Zoo|zoo]] to the north, Ninten goes to [[Canary Village]] (which he actually can choose to do before saving Pippi), where the second melody can be found.
