'''Magicant''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|マジカント|Majikanto}}''' ''Magicant'') is a location in [[EarthBound Beginnings]]. It is a world that was created and resides in [[Maria]]'s mind and is ruled by her. [[Ninten]] first accesses this world by reading a passage of [[George]]'s diary in front of a mysterious pink rock known as "God's tail"<ref>https://forum.starmen.net/forum/Mother/1/27990</ref> in a cave, and he can return at anytime by using the [[Onyx Hook]].

In [[EarthBound]] there also exists a variation {{eb|Magicant}}, however it is different from this Magicant.

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 [[List of miscellaneous items in Mother#Red Weed|Red Weed]]s in Magicant, which when taken to [[Queen Mary]]'s Fountain, will turn into [[List of recovery items in Mother#Magic Herb|Magic Herb]]s. With the [[List of key items in Mother#Onyx Hook|Onyx Hook]] that is obtained in [[Magicant Underground]], the player can return to Magicant anytime.

[[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 [[Eight Melodies|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.

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 five in all, and once all five 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.

:''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...
