'''Merrysville''' is a town in {{vg|Mother}}. It has an [[Twinkle Elementary School|elementary school]] and a [[Union Station|train station]], and is [[Lloyd]]'s hometown. It appears to be a very industrialized town, being near both the [[Sweet's Little Factory]] and [[Duncan's Factory]]. It is also a very mountainous region, surrounded from all sides by a large cliff. The roads are dangerous, with cars speeding across the busy streets, and [[Fugitive|fugitives]] hiding away in the outskirts of town.  
'''Merrysville''' is a town in [[EarthBound Beginnings]], featuring an [[Twinkle Elementary School|elementary school]] and a [[Union Station|train station]], and is also the hometown of [[Lloyd]]. Merrysville has a population of 57 individuals, an average temperature of 18°C, and its main industries are industrial manufacture and commerce.<ref name=ThanksgivingRef>[[:File:ThanksgivingRef.jpg|Excerpt from Thanksgiving's (Merrysville's) Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref>
 
==Overview==
When first visiting Merrysville, several inhabitants are concerned about the rocks lying on the railroad track, making the [[train]] unable to pass.<ref>"There was a rock- slide near Union Station. The train can't get through until it has been removed." - NPC</ref><ref>"Big rocks block the railroad. The train cannot pass." - NPC</ref><ref>"How can we get the big rocks off the railroad tracks? I'll bet the Mayor leaves them there 'til election time." - NPC</ref> Others inform Ninten about there being a [[Duncan's Factory|factory]] to the north of the town, which have started to produce rockets,<ref>"I got this from Duncan's factory in the north." - NPC</ref><ref>"I've heard that in Duncan's Factory up north, they've started building huge rockets." - NPC</ref> one individual even suggesting that they might help him to get rid of the rocks on the tracks.<ref>"I think... I think... The rockslide on the railroad tracks... Could be blown up with a Duncan Factory Rocket." - NPC</ref> Some people comment on how hostile beings roam the outskirts of the town.<ref>"I've heard many scary monsters lurk outside town. I'm so afraid that they'll take my money away. - NPC</ref><ref>"An awful creature beat me up. If you're going to the station, watch out!" - NPC</ref> The Japanese Manuel states that there is a strong police presence, and they are particularly harsh on skipping class. The town doctor, named Big Ben Casey, has a notoriously poor reputation. This is possibly a crack at the Medical Drama TV show featuring a doctor with the same name.
 
A man located between the [[department store]] and [[hotel]] asks Ninten to answer his questionnaire, which consists of two questions. One is about whether or not he thinks the train tickets are too expensive, and one is about whether or not he has used the [[Bullhorn]] yet; whatever Ninten replies, the man will thank him for his cooperation and give him the [[Telephone Card]] in return.
 
===Pilgrim's Rocky Mountain===
[[File:PilgrimsMountain.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Pilgrim's Rocky Mountain]]
'''Pilgrim's Rocky Mountain''' ({{tt|'''ピルグリムの岩山'''|Pirugurimu no Iwayama}})<ref>[[:File:PirugurimuNoIwayamaComparison.JPG|Pilgrim's Rocky Mountain (Pirugurimu no Iwayama) in Encyclopedia Mother]]</ref> is a cliff located northeast of Merrysville, and directly southeast of the [[Union Station]]. It can be accessed by walking south when reaching the broken bridge east of the Union Station. The cliff is covered in a few trees and several patches of grass, and does otherwise not serve any real purpose in-game.


==Geography==
==Geography==
{{sectstub}}
Merrysville is the fourth biggest settlement in the game, featuring an area of 8,719 square meters,<ref name=ThanksgivingRef/> and is surpassed by [[Reindeer]], [[Podunk]] and [[Ellay]]. The town consists of twenty multi-storied buildings, five of which can be accessed; being the town's burger shop, department store, hospital, hotel, and [[Twinkle Elementary School|elementary school]]. It appears to be a relatively industrialized town, being near both [[Sweet's Little Factory]] and [[Duncan's Factory]]. It is also in a very mountainous region, being surrounded from all sides by a large cliff. Various symmetrically placed flowers and bush-like plants can be seen throughout the town. A railroad track leading from the [[Union Station]] to [[Reindeer]], [[Spookane]] and [[Snowman]] can also be seen in the eastern portion of the town, being surrounded by several bushes, forming an allée.
 
To the west of Merrysville lies [[Podunk]]. Other nearby locations include [[Sweet's Little Factory]], lying to the south, and [[Duncan's Factory]] and [[Union Station]], lying to the north.
 
==History==
[[Ninten]] first arrives at Merrysville after exiting {{ebb|Magicant}} via the [[Magicant Underground]], where he is transported to a cave in the southern outskirts of the town. After entering the town, he goes to the town's [[Twinkle Elementary School|elementary school]], where he meets a boy hiding in a trash can on the school's roof, who introduces himself as [[Lloyd]], also mentioning his liking for the [[Bottle Rocket]]s that are produced at [[Sweet's Little Factory]]. After Ninten manages to find one in the factory and gives it to Lloyd, Lloyd takes him to the school's lab room, where he, after a failed experiment involving his newly obtained rocket, joins Ninten on his journey.
 
The party discovers that the path leading to the [[Union Station|town's train station]] is blocked by a set of rocks. They head toward [[Duncan's Factory]], where they find a [[Pass]] on the way, which supposedly grants access to the factory. The [[Stray Dog|dog]] guarding the factory's entrance notcies that the pass is expired, and battles them instead of letting them in. After defeating the dog, the party enters the factory, and after having managed to navigate through the maze-like building, they do, thanks to Lloyd, activate a rocket, which they send towards the rocks. After successfully clearing the path to the train station, the two of them exit the factory, and continue with their journey via the newly accessible train station.
