'''Fourside''' is a location in [[EarthBound]], and | '''Fourside''' ('''フォーサイド''' ''Fourside'') is a location in [[EarthBound]]. It is the largest city in [[Eagleland]], being the metropolis of the region, and the location of the fifth [[Your Sanctuary|Sanctuary]], [[Magnet Hill]]. | ||
Fourside is based on [[wikipedia:New York City|New York City]], as the [[EarthBound Player's Guide]] states while mentioning the skyscrapers, bustling streets, and shady politicians. The city's layout is similar as it consists of large skyscrapers and a park in the center, possibly based on Centeral Park. The bridge that connects to the city is based on the Brooklyn Bridge and the [[Topolla Theater]] (Named Topollo Theater in Japan) is based on the Apollo Theater. Additionally, New York City's nickname is "The Big Apple" and the EarthBound Player's Guide parodies this by mentioning Fourside's nickname is "The Big Banana". | |||

There is an illusion of Fourside created by the [[Mani-Mani Statue]] called [[Moonside]]. It is accessible through a door in the cafe, and mimics typical night life in the city, featuring many bright lights. People speak in a very backwards manner there, with "yes" and "no"'s meanings being swapped, and overall is very abstract. | There is an illusion of Fourside created by the [[Mani-Mani Statue]] called [[Moonside]].

When [[Ness]], [[Jeff]] and [[Paula]] have defeated the five [[Guardian Digger]]s in the [[Gold Mine]], and then go to Fourside, they are given a diamond by [[George Montague]] on the way there. When they arrive in the city, they find the [[Runaway Five]] again. The band has once again been put in debt. To pay off this debt, Ness gives the diamond he was given earlier to the [[Miss Fake|owner]] of the theater, which once again frees the band. Later, the trio explores the department store. During their visit there however, the lights go out. Paula is kidnapped by a suspicious being during the phenomenon, and the creature then calls on Ness. Ness and Jeff go to the top of the store, and find the creature, revealed to be a [[Dept. Store Spook]]. A battle is engaged with it, and after it has been defeated, it briefly mentions someone named Monotoli, before disappearing, without any traces of Paula. When Ness and Jeff exit the store, they find a familiar face<!--What..?-->. The duo then enters the [[Monotoli Building]], but still don't find Paula. They then enter [[Jackie's Cafe]], but find that [[Geldegarde Monotoli|Mr. Monotoli]] doesn't come there. When they exit, they meet [[Everdred]], whom they met earlier in [[Twoson]], and he is badly injured. A crowd is gathered around him and he tells Ness about how he stole an item from [[Mr. Carpainter]]. He decided to sell it in the city, but got tricked by Mr. Monotoli. However, he then tells Ness Mr. Monotoli is being controlled by the Mani-Mani Statue. His last request is for Ness to check behind the counter in the cafe. However, when he does that, he and Jeff are sent to Moonside. At various points of the city, there are [[Warp Man|person]]s who sends the duo to the Monotoli Building. However, a man blocks the path, who will only let Ness and Jeff go past him if they bring someone whose eyebrows are connected and has a gold tooth. Ness and Jeff then meet a person, who teleports them to a building. Here, they meet an invisible man, who goes with them when they're teleported from the building. He follows them around, and when they meet the man blocking the path, he sees the invisible man as the person with connected eyebrows and a gold tooth. They leave, and the duo face the Mani-Mani statue. They defeat it, and then Ness and Jeff are returned to Fourside. However, they are in an unknown room. They exit it, and go back to the cafe. The [[Apple Kid]] then calls Ness, and sends his latest invention to him. | When [[Ness]], [[Jeff]] and [[Paula]] have defeated the five [[Guardian Digger]]s in the [[Gold Mine]], and then go to Fourside, they are given a diamond by [[George Montague]] on the way there.

Ness rescues Paula from Monotoli, who explains he was under the influence of the Mani Mani Statue. | ||
When Ness returns later, he and his friends travel through the sewers to defeat the [[Plague Rat of Doom]] and earn the power of the fifth Sanctuary. | |||

[[smashwiki:Eagleland: Fourside|Fourside]] appears as an unlockable stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is a large stage where fighters fight on top of rooftops, one of which is the Monotoli Building. The U.F.O. from the intro to Earthbound appears here. It strangely has a slippery surface. When the UFO appears, the soundbite from the "The war against Giygas" screen plays. | [[smashwiki:Eagleland: Fourside|Fourside]] appears as an unlockable stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
