When entering the [[Choucream Zoo]], Ninten will encounter many hostile animals and walk in a snake-like pattern before reaching the [[Choucream Zoo#Superintendent's Office|Superintendent's Office]] in the eastern portion of the zoo. Here, he will engage a battle with [[Starman Jr.]] after examining a capsule-like object on the building's top floor. When it has been defeated, the odd sound that is revealed to be the reason for the animals' strange behavior disappears, turning the zoo into its original state again. Within one of the zoo's fences resides a monkey, who sings the third melody when a sign attached to the fence is read. | When entering the [[Choucream Zoo]], Ninten will encounter many hostile animals and walk in a snake-like pattern before reaching the [[Choucream Zoo#Superintendent's Office|Superintendent's Office]] in the eastern portion of the zoo.

The three of them take the train to [[Spookane]], which is shown to have been overrun by malevolent animals and alien-like beings upon their arrival. They head to the inhabited portion of the town, where people express worry concerning the current circumstances, not only being concerned about the creatures that have infested the western portion of the town, but also the ghost-like creatures that have assumed control over the [[Rosemary's house|house of the Rosemarys]]. Ninten is entrusted with the [[List of key items in Mother#Ghost House Key|key to the house]] by the mother of Rosemarys, being certain that Ninten will get the place back into normal. Deep inside of the house, Ninten and his friends find a piano that plays by itself, and that plays the fourth melody when [[check]]ed. | The three of them take the train to [[Spookane]], which is shown to have been overrun by malevolent animals and alien-like beings upon their arrival.

The party returns to Union Station, where they discover that a small portion of the tracks leading to the east are demolished, making it impossible for the train to transport them beyond that point. They do instead make a detour around the cliffs north of the tracks, leading to them ending up in [[Yucca Desert]]. In the desert, the party come across a cactus with some facial features. After using [[Telepathy]] on it, it will start to sing the fifth melody. To the east of the cactus resides a man, who will let Ninten and his friends borrow his tank once they have obtained ten [[List of key items in Mother#Ticket Stub|Ticket Stub]]s, which can be purchased from him from prices between {{$}}5 to $15. After the tank has been obtained, the party heads further to the east, to the [[Ruins of Desert]], whose entrance is guarded by an [[R7037|enormous robot]] that must be battled in order to enter; the tank must however be sacrificed during the battle with it.

In the [[Magicant Underground]], a sleeping [[dragon]] resides, and Ninten should at this point have enough experience to be capable of waking it from its slumber, which will lead to the initiation of a battle. After being defeated, the dragon will reveal the sixth melody, and then go back to sleep. When Ninten exits from the underground this time however, he will be teleported to a new cave, being to the northwest of [[Youngtown]]. | In the [[Magicant Underground]], a sleeping [[dragon]] resides, and Ninten should at this point have enough experience to be capable of waking it from its slumber, which will lead to the initiation of a battle.
