During the 1920s, a cloud forms over a small American town, during which a couple, [[George]] and [[Maria]], are abducted. Years later, George quietly returns, and begins a study of powers called [[PSI]].
During the 1920s, a cloud forms over a small American town, during which a couple, [[George]] and [[Maria]], are abducted. Years later, George quietly returns, and begins a study of powers called [[PSI]].


In the year 198X, Ninten, a young boy north of the city of [[Podunk]], has his house wracked by a doll, which holds a tune that he memorizes. His father calls and instructs him to go on an adventure to realize his PSI skills. In the town, he rescues [[Pippi]], a girl missing in the graveyard, and calms the Zoo, where animals had gone crazy due to the influence of a cosmic [[Starman]]. Heading east, Ninten comes across an entryway to [[Magicant]]—a mystical world ruled by Queen Mary. She explains the importance of finding eight melodies to complete a song. Returning to the normal world, Ninten finds a boy named [[Lloyd]], who joins Ninten's party. They head to the wintry town of [[Snowman]], where a psychic girl named [[Ana]] joins the party. The children find the melodies along canaries, haunted houses, a talking cactus, and dragons beneath Magicant.

Ninten, Lloyd, and Ana arrive in [[Ellay]]. The leader of the [[Bla-Bla Gang]], [[Teddy]], attacks the group, but soon becomes amiable after losing to Ninten. At the base of the nearby Mt. Itoi, Ninten and Ana profess their love. A large robot attacks their cabin, and the party is saved by Lloyd. Teddy is severely injured. The party continues to climb Mt. Itoi, and meet George's benevolent robot, [[EVE]]. Their quick ascent ends after EVE sacrifices herself to defeat a large robot. After learning the final melody at the summit of the mountain, the party is teleported to Magicant. Queen Mary, recalling the Melodies, tells the party of her adopted young alien child named [[Giygas]], and reveals herself as Maria. Magicant, a result of her own conscience, disappears, along with Maria herself, leaving the children to face the alien threat at the peak.

At the top, Giygas reveals himself, telling how George stole the ability of PSI, unknowingly "betraying his people". Giygas attempts to unleash an attack on the party, but the children sing the Eight Melodies to him. Giygas, recalling Maria and her motherly love, is overwhelmed in emotion, and departs from the Earth. Lloyd, Ana, and Teddy return to their normal lives, while Ninten returns home. His father calls, and while waiting for Ninten to answer, states that "something has come up".

==Blurb==
The year is 198X. As [[Ninten]], a young boy from [[Podunk]] with psychic powers, you must locate the [[eight melodies]] to aid the [[Maria|Queen of Magicant]]. Armed with your trusty baseball bat, you'll fight crazed hippies, zombies... and the occasional Magic Snail?

But that's just the beginning of your epic team-ups. On Ninten's journey between {{ebb|Magicant}} and Earth, you'll join forces with the [[Flying Men]] too! Have a blast exploring an [[Choucream Zoo|abandoned zoo]], saving the world, and more!
