'''Snowman''' is a small town in ''[[EarthBound Beginnings]]''. It is known for being [[Ana]]'s hometown, and for its cold climate. Snowman has a population of 15 individuals, an average temperature of 5°C, and its main industries are forestry and agriculture.<ref name=SnowmanRef>[[:File:SnowmanRef.jpg|Excerpt from Snowman's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref>


{{Mother}}
==Overview==
{{Ana}}
In Snowman, some people mention the persons gone missing in [[Youngtown]];<ref>"I heard everyone in Youngtown has disappeared." - NPC</ref> a father and daughter located at the town's train station express concern over the mother of the family, who they have not heard from since she left for Youngtown.<ref>"I was on my way to Youngtown to look for my wife. But, without the train running, how can I get there?" - NPC</ref><ref>"Mom left for Youngtown. We haven't heard from her for days now. Dad and I are going there to look for her." - NPC</ref> An individual who claims to be clairvoyant can be found outside of the train station, who predicts that the party will return to [[Union Station]], which they later do when heading to [[Yucca Desert]]. Inside the town, a girl says that her grandfather lives in Yucca Desert, and asks Ninten to say hello to him if he ever would meet him;<ref>"My grandfather lives in Yucca Desert. If you see him, please say hello for me." - NPC</ref> she is likely referring to the man who gives the party a tank in exchange for ten [[Ticket Stub]]s. A man in the town also mentions Yucca Desert, as he asks Ninten to say hello to the bones of a camel in the desert, whom he once knew.<ref>"Please say hello to the camel's bones in Yucca Desert. I knew that camel once upon a time." - NPC</ref> Three male individuals who are dressed in blue in the town will affect Ninten with a [[Status ailment#Cold|cold]] when interacted with. Several people also mention [[Ana]], and the fact that she lives in a chateau.<ref>"Ana's house is a chateau, not a mansion. But, I'll bet you already knew that." - NPC</ref><ref>"There is a chateau in the mountains to the east. Cough cough cough cough..." - NPC</ref><ref>"Ana hasn't been to school lately, I'm so worried." - NPC</ref>

{{Stub}}
When calling [[Ninten's father]] with the telephone located in the house of the town's [[healer]], who lives in the northern portion of Snowman, his father will, unlike via other telephones, ask for the name of [[the player]] when first using it. It will then function as an ordinary save point.
 
==Geography==
Snowman is the smallest settlement in the game, featuring an area of 2,394 square meters.<ref name=SnowmanRef/> The town consists of seventeen buildings, including the train station and the [[Snowman Chateau]]. Only five buildings are however accessible, being the town's [[drug store]], inn, and train station, and also the house of a [[healer]] and the [[Snowman Chateau]]. The town is entirely blanketed in snow; the town does however feature several leaf-covered trees and visible patches of grass, although all of them are yellow in color. North of the train station resides the town's only coniferous tree, which is surrounded by unusually large patches of grass. Mountains also isolate the town, and it can thus only be accessed via the [[train]] tunnel. Snowman and [[Youngtown]] are the only towns in the game (excluding the town area in Magicant) that features no walkways.
 
To the west of the town lies [[Spookane]], which only can be reached by first going through a train tunnel.
 
==History==
[[Ninten]] and [[Lloyd]] go to Snowman after obtaining a {{ebb|hat}} from an elderly woman at the train station of [[Reindeer]], who thinks that it belongs to a girl in Snowman. When entering Snowman, the two of them go to the eastern outskirts of the town, where they meet a young girl and her father inside a [[Snowman Chateau|chateau]]. The girl remarks on how Ninten looks like a boy who has appeared in one of her dreams, and after having the hat given to her, she confirms Ninten's identity and explains how she needs his assistance in order to find her missing mother. After briefly saying goodbye to her father, the girl, named [[Ana]], joins Ninten's and Lloyd's party.
 
During the game's ending sequence, Ana returns to Snowman, as her mother has been rescued due to the defeat of [[Giygas|Giegue]].

When first using the telephone within the healer's house, [[Ninten's father]] asks [[the player]] about their name.
 
===Train station===
The train station in Reindeer offers rides to three different stations for a constant price per person. If a character is [[Status ailment#Faintd|unconscious]], they are excluded when calculating the total cost for riding a train.

==Music==
[[File:Snowman.ogg|thumb|right|Snowman's theme as it is heard in Mother 3.]]
Snowman's song is a recurring one within the ''EarthBound'' series. An arrangement of it is heard in [[EarthBound]] in the cutscene introducing [[Jeff]] and while he and [[Tony]] are in the [[Snow Wood Boarding House]]. The song reappears on [[Snowcap Mountain]] in ''[[Mother 3]]'', as well as on the [[Mother 3+]] soundtrack; a variation on the Mother 3+ version also appears in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Series]]'' from ''Brawl'' onward.
