Snowman is a small town in Mother. It is known for being Ana's hometown, and for its cold climate.

Overview

In Snowman, some people mention the persons gone missing in Youngtown;[1] a father and daughter located at the town's train station express concern over the mother of the family, who they has not heard from since she left for Youngtown.[2][3] An individual who claims to be clairvoyant can be ofund outside of the train station, who predicts that the party will return to Union Station, which they later do when heading to Yucca Desert. Inside the town, a girl says that her grandfather lives in Yucca Desert, and asks Ninten to say hello to him if he ever would meet him;[4] she is likely referring to the man who gives the party a tank in exchange for ten Ticket Stubs. A man in the town also mentions Yucca Desert, as he asks Ninten to say hello to the bones of a camel in the desert, whom he once knew.[5] Three male individuals in the town will affect Ninten with a cold when interacted with. Several people also mention Ana, and the fact that she lives in a chateau.[6][7][8]

A telephone is located in the house of the town's healer, who lives in the northern portion of Snowman, but unlike other telephones, Ninten's father will instead ask for the name of the player when first using it. It will then function as an ordinary save point.

Geography

Snowman consists of seventeen buildings, including the train station and the Snowman Chateau. Only five buildings are however accessible, being the town's drug store, inn, and train station, and also the house of a healer and the Snowman Chateau. The town is entirely blanketed in snow; the town does however feature several leaf-covered trees and visible patches of grass, although all of them are yellow in color. North of the train station resides the town's only coniferous tree, which is surrounded by unusually large patches of grass. Mountains also isolate the town, and it can thus only be accessed via the train tunnel. Snowman is the only town in the game (excluding the town area in Magicant) that features no walkways.

To the west of the town lies Spookane, which only can be reached by first going through a train tunnel.

History

Ninten and Lloyd go to Snowman after obtaining a hat from an elderly woman at the train station of Reindeer, who thinks that it belongs to a girl in Snowman. When entering Snowman, the two of them go to the eastern outskirts of the town, where they meey a young girl and her father inside a chateau. The girl remarks on how Ninten looks like a boy who appeared in one of her dreams, and after having the hat given to her, she confirms Ninten's identity and explains how she needs his assistance in order to find her missing mother. After briefly saying goodbye to her father, the girl, named Ana, joins Ninten's and Lloyd's party.

During the game's ending sequence, Ana returns to Snowman, as her mother has been rescued due to the defeat of Giegue.
