Itoi''', (Japanese: '''ホーリー•ローリー•マウンテン''' ''Holy Loly Mountain'') also written as '''Mount Itoi''', is the final area in ''[[EarthBound Beginnings|Mother 1/EarthBound Beginnings]]''. It is the tallest mountain in [[America]] and is located directly in the center of the region. The Japanese Manual states that it is considered a sacred place, and that few people ever travel up it. The seventh and eighth [[Eight Melodies|melodies]] are both located here, and the summit of the mountain is where [[Giegue]] is found in his mother ship and fought. | ||
== | Mt. Itoi is notorious for its brutal difficulty spike, to the point where [[Shigesato Itoi]] acknowledged the difficulty in an interview. He clarified that the scheduled release date for the game was approaching quickly, and as a result the team didn't have time to properly test the difficulty.<ref>"What I get most is, “I’m at Mt. Itoi now, help!” That place is just crazy. When we got to fine-tuning there, I was like, “Whatever!”" --[[Shigesato Itoi]] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKpaKlatg5M#t=460s footage])</ref> | ||

The mountain consists of 3 different sections: the base, a large cave at its base, and a plateau at the end of the cave which contains a small rest house. Higher up on the mountain is a large lake with a central whirlpool. | The mountain consists of 3 different sections: the base, a large cave at its base, and a plateau at the end of the cave which contains a small rest house.

[[Eve]] is found in the central lake, in a lab located underneath the whirlpool. [[Lloyd]] is required to fix a [[boat]] on the eastern dock in order to navigate the lake. Higher up on the mountain, Eve dies at the hands of [[R7038XX]], bearing the seventh melody. In the English release and ''[[Mother 1+2]]'' versions of the game, the [[XX Stone]] at the mountain's peak bears the 8th melody, while in the original Japanese version, [[Queen Mary]] instead remembers the final melody on her own. Nearing the peak, [[Ninten]]'s party is required to climb an increasing number of vines, as the mountain transitions from a mostly-flat section to a rocky outcropping. | [[Eve]] is found in the central lake, in a lab located underneath the whirlpool.

[[Ninten]], [[Ana]], and [[Teddy]] first arrive here for Teddy avenge his parents who were killed by the creatures on the mountain. Along the way they reach a small rest house, and with [[Teddy]] in the party they can go into the room in the back. After a cutscene where [[Ninten]] and [[Ana]] dance, the two confess their feelings to each other. However, Teddy interrupts the moment because he hears strange noises outside. The noise was caused by the [[R7038]], and then they engage in a battle. The fight could not be won and the entire party collapses, then [[Lloyd]] arrives in a tank and tries to rescue them, but accidentally misses and shoots the party, though he also destroyed the R7038 as well (In the Japanese version, Lloyd didn't arrive in time and the R7038 escaped. When Lloyd arrives he says "Oh no! I'm too late!). | [[Ninten]], [[Ana]], and [[Teddy]] first arrive here for Teddy avenge his parents who were killed by the creatures on the mountain.
