It serves as the only exit from [[Magicant]] back to [[America]]. [[Ninten]] first discovers Magicant Underground in the outskirts of Magicant in an array of wells. The undeground itself is a small maze and is home to the [[Dragon]], [[The Fish]] and the [[Forgotten Man]]. It has a total area of 6,026 square meters and a temperature of 16.5°C.<ref>[[:File:MagicantUndergroundRef.png|Excerpt from Magicant Underground's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref>
'''Magicant Underground'''<ref>[[:File:MagicantUndergroundRef.png|Excerpt from Magicant Underground's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref>, also known as the '''Underground River''' (Japanese: '''地下大河''' ''Underground Stream'') and often referred to as the '''Crystal Cavern''' by fans, is a location in ''[[EarthBound Beginnings]]''. It serves as the only exit from {{ebb|Magicant}} back to [[America]]. [[Ninten]] first discovers Magicant Underground in the outskirts of Magicant in an array of wells. The undeground itself is a small maze and is home to the [[Dragon]], [[The Fish]] and the [[Forgotten Man]]. It has a total area of 6,026 square meters and a temperature of 16.5°C.<ref>[[:File:MagicantUndergroundRef.png|Excerpt from Magicant Underground's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref>
 
==Layout==
The top sections of Magicant Underground consist of several holes mostly leading to dead ends. Going down the holes in the order right, left, left, and finally right leads to the lowest floor. The bottom-most floir of Magicant Underground is a mostly linear maze, after entering the path turns right, then heads south making a u-turn. The path then splits into two: the right path leads to a hole where the Fish can be fought to access the Onyx Hook down a ladder. The left path leads to the Dragon where he can be fought once Ninten reaches a certain level, then he'll teach Ninten the sixth Melody.
 
The Forgotten Man blocks the exit to the real world on the first visit. He will disappear if the questions are answered correctly. If answered wrong he will stay until talked to a gain and answering the questions correctly.
 
In the original Famicom release of ''Mother'' the layout of the bottom-most floor of Magicant Underground is vastly different, being much less linear and much larger. The upper section is a simple path leading to the exit, while the lower half has many more paths that branch off to create a larger maze to reach the Dragon. Additionally if the Forgotten Man's questions are answered incorrectly he will warp Ninten back to the start of the maze, while in other versions Ninten will stay in the same place.
