Snowcap Mountain

Snowcap Mountain is a location found in Mother 3. It is a tall snow-capped mountain located on east of the Nowhere Islands, being the tallest on the islands. At the summit is where one of the Seven Needles is located, being guarded by Lydia. Various ice enemies can be found here, such as Chilly Dogs, Ten-Yetis, and the rare Frosted Bun.

A remix of the recurring theme of Snowman from EarthBound Beginnings is used for the area.

Geography
Snowcap Mountain begins at the exit from the Mole Cricket Hole in the south. The mountain consists of various peaks connected by narrow paths. The path mostly goes north up the mountain in a diagonal direction. Halfway through there is a split with a west path leading diagonally downwards, onto a small isolated peak where the Frosted Bun can be found on occasion.

Near the summit the path becomes a small valley-like winding path where a hot spring and Lydia's house is located. The Needle location and summit of the mountain is accessed from Lydia's house by exiting from the back door.

History
Snowcap Mountain can only be accessed after befriending the Mole Crickets in the Mole Cricket Hole during Chapter 7. After exiting the Mole Cricket Hole, the Mole Cricket's Brother leaves Lucas's inventory. Lucas and his party then climb towards the summit to pull the Needle of the mountain. At the top of the mountain, Lydia's home and the Needle is found; however, just before Lucas can pull it, the Pigmask Army arrives, and the Masked Man pulls it first, leaving Lucas to fight the Steel Mechorilla. Before Lydia disappears, Lydia tells Lucas about the refrigerator on top of the mountain, which Lucas can use to get to the bottom of the mountain, landing in the Sunset Cemetery.
