Magicant (EarthBound Beginnings)

Magicant (Japanese:  Magicant) is a location in both EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound. Magicant is a world created by and resides in one's mind, and serves an important purpose in both games. Magicant is also the only realm where Flying Man exists.

Overview
EarthBound Beginnings's variation of Magicant takes place in Maria's mind, with her world being characterized by light green rivers and a pink cloud-like ground. There are many things here, such as shops selling the only defensive equipment in the game, a hospital and hotel free of charge; and the Mysterious Goods-Keeper that Ninten can give items to for storing, and the Mysterious Mimicker that acts as a save point. There is also an abundance of Red Weeds in Magicant, which when taken to Queen Mary's Fountain, will turn into Magic Herbs. With the Onyx Hook that is obtained in Magicant Underground, the player can return to Magicant anytime.

Queen Mary's Castle
The castle where Queen Mary resides. In here there are many rooms, some are empty and some have items. The player can speak to Queen Mary who wants the remember a song that she used to sing.

Queen Mary's fountain
To the west of the castle is a fountain. Here, the player can use telepathy to summon the Benevolent Old Man, who acts as an ATM for the player to withdraw money (In Mother he instead is a healer for status ailments such as poison or stone). The player can also put a Red Weed into the fountain, turning it into a Magic Herb.

History
Ninten arrives here via using telepathy on a mysterious rock-like object outside of Podunk. He hears a voice speaking into his mind "Who has lost its tail?" (Japanese: "Where is God's tail?"), then by reading a passage from the Great Grandfather's diary, he warps into Magicant. He then goes to Queen Mary's Castle where he meets Queen Mary, who is the ruler of Magicant. She begs Ninten to learn a certain song she used to sing that is 8 notes long. Later, after Ninten collects all 8 of the notes, he and his friends return to Magicant to sing the song to Queen Mary (In Mother he instead returns to Magicant after collecting the 7th melody, then sings it to Queen Mary who remembers 8th melody on her own). Upon hearing the full song, Queen Mary remembers that she is George's wife Maria, and that she raised Giegue as a child. She then joins her husband George in heaven, and in the process Magicant disappears.

Overview
In EarthBound, Magicant is created when Ness gathers all the Eight Melodies of the world. Ness's Magicant has illusions of friends and enemies he's met on his journey, and old memories of his family, friends, and the younger versions of himself. His Magicant also changes color depending on who he talks to, and it can be reverted back by talking to sunflowers or walking out of a building. The first area is a grassy area with giant vegetables, the second area is snowey, and the third area is a large swirling pink-colored path. It has a hotel free of charge, and a shop that only sells Earth Pendants and Magic pudding. To the north of the second area is where the Flying Man house is located.

History
After collecting the final melody, Ness wakes up in a realm within his dream known as Magicant. Similar to Maria's Magicant, Ness's Magicant is a place inside his mind that contains his memories, such as friends and family he met and enemies. He can interact with his friends and family, and also enemies he met, he can also interact with his younger self. He can also talk to Porky, who tells Ness he wants to be friends, this implies that Ness may actually want to be friends with Porky. Magicant also has the Flying Men who represent Ness's courage. Ness's purpose in Magicant is that he must travel through the Sea of Eden to reach his nightmare, and conquer the evil in his mind once and for all. Once defeated, Ness hears his own voice speaking about how Giygas intends to wipe out the universe, however the Apple of Enlightenment predicated that Ness and his friends will defeat Giygas. Finally Ness hears his voice saying that he must go to Saturn Valley to reach Giygas. After this, Ness's mind is cleared of all evil and his strength increases significantly, Ness then wakes up and Magicant vanishes similar to Maria's Magicant.

In Super Smash Bros.
Magicant from EarthBound Beginnings appears as a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, although it also has minor references to EarthBound's as well. The main feature in this stage are the Flying Men which assist the first player to reach them. They will fight for the player until they get KO'd. Similar to how they work in the EarthBound games, there are 5 in all, and once all 5 are defeated, none will respawn. In the background is a "rip" in the sky, showing scenes from Ninten and Ness's adventure. Other elements include a tree, a Mobile Sprout, a giant tomato, the Sky Runner, an octopus statue, and the Dungeon Man. Magicant also returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and received a large graphical update. Gameplay wise, it is identical to its appearance in the 3DS version of Smash 4. Oddly Queen Mary's Castle is absent in both games it appears in.

Trophy description

 * ''A magical world in Mother and EarthBound, brought to life by the memories of certain characters. In this game, Magicant is a cloud stage where giant tomatoes, metal octopuses, and even the Sky Runner may appear. Even the hulking Dungeon Man may show up. What an unusual battlefield...

Trivia

 * In the Japanese version of EarthBound, Ness is naked in Magicant.
