When we last checked in, I'd ended up in the land of cotton candy due to talking to a rock. I'd say this place looks strange, but thanks to SSB4, it's no doubt quite familiar to you! It's Magicant, of course! The original flavor Magicant, as opposed to the one that showed up in EarthBound (who would have thought it could have possibly foreshadowed the release of Mother 1 in English?).
.png)
oh well, obviously
.png)
Rare Candies, sure
but who am I to lie to a swimming cat?
.png)
KEEPING IT ALL FOR YOURSELF EH
.png)
->yes
.png)
I love how dubious this always sounds. You can picture the one raised eyebrow.
.png)
thank you, tiny witch
.png)
HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IT WAS WITCHAPALOOZA
.png)
you okay hon
.png)
so far the most frustrating thing about this game is the limited inventory, I swear. Ninten has like ONLY EIGHT SLOTS FOR ITEMS. IT SUCKS.
.png)
Ooo a queen, I'll practice my curtsy
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
spot on :O
.png)
Which helpful old man
oh, the one, you know
.png)
throw in a nickel, is that what you said
.png)
POLICE
.png)
you seem legit
.png)
aw yeah, free flatscreens for everyone
.png)
.png)
.png)
what, no snakes?
.png)
stop pushing your magic herbs on me
.png)
CAN I DO THIS WITH EVERYTHING
.png)
.png)
.png)
i bet there isn't a restroom :(
(actually i should go check)
.png)
.png)
HOW COULD THAT EVER HAPPEN, HAHA
.png)
new reaction image just for you
.png)
might as well be honest to you dream wizards
->no
.png)
sure
.png)
.png)
please give him this letter for me, it's filled with hair
.png)
.png)
.png)
sure ninten says, scrolling through his phone
.png)
get diamondized, got it
.png)
.png)
that's how it gets you
.png)
how dare you THIS IS MY PLACE
.png)
.png)
he didn't give me one :(
.png)
then i said no and he said this. Aha!
.png)
.png)
i love how pointless this little dialogue chain is. So Mother.
.png)
.png)
watch me amaze you
.png)
.png)
.png)
hey, free hotel
OH yeah, there are two sleep themes in Mother, Comforting Sleep for houses and Hotel Sleep for hotels. Hotel Sleep ended up coming back in EarthBound I think. :B
.png)
If I remember where your house is, sure
.png)
you seen a kid in green around here
.png)
SURE, RANDOM GUY, GIVE ME YOUR LIFE'S WORK FOR NO REASON
.png)
yoink
.png)
That probably won't happen.
.png)
As you can guess, you can use the Ocarina to listen to whatever bits of the 8 Melodies you've got so far. Not unlike the Soundstone in EB.
.png)
.png)
WERE YOU LISTENING
.png)
Oh man are these the houses of Pincho Pancho and Tomas Jefferson
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i just lost the other half of this writeup
UGH
GDIT UGH
THIS SUCKS I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN
ugh i shouldn't split it in half though asfhghghjfdj uhgh
just gonna be really surly through the rest of this
.png)
how'd you get here
.png)
these showed up again in EB and mother 3 if you recall
.png)
.png)
.png)
with a nod
.png)
->yes
.png)
.png)
another place to sleep, like magicant even needs more at this point
.png)
->no
.png)
awkward silence
.png)
.png)
Magicant is really big on healing, it makes me nervous
.png)
sucks to be you pal
i tried to give him my ocarina but it wouldn't work
.png)
brrring
.png)
.png)
.png)
so this came back in EB as well
.png)
shows what you know
.png)
->yes
.png)
why are the monkeys in this game so rude
.png)
->no
.png)
.png)
.png)
probably a coincidence
.png)
seems appropriate
.png)
BUT THEN IT WOULDN'T TELL ME
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
playing it with his feet
.png)
.png)
.png)
i wonder what this about? i better not forget about this later
.png)
this guy's seen it all
.png)
hmm
.png)
5/5 would refresh again
.png)
.png)
was it dinosaurs
.png)
more weird x symbols
.png)
.png)
it knows Fury Swipes apparently
.png)
I REMEMBER YOU FROM MOTHER 3
YOU STILL LOOK CREEPY
.png)
FLYING MEN
.png)
I didn't know Flying Men talked in caps.
Trivia: They don't have a specific theme in the game, despite having a song on the vocal CD. That song did eventually become their theme in EB though.
.png)
just stay here okay
.png)
but then he wouldn't tell it to me, wtf
.png)
alternately reminded of a lollipop and uzumaki. not a great combination.
.png)
eyebrows
.png)
GET AWAY FROM ME
.png)
420 blaze it
.png)
AAAAAAAAGH
.png)
what
.png)
oh great you do that too
SO THIS ORIGINATED IN MOTHER 1 IF YOU'RE CURIOUS it's not as violent here without the rolling hit counter though
.png)
anyway I went to this part of Magicant with a bunch of holes but I didn't get a cap for some reason oops, I went in one and voila
.png)
swoosh family
.png)
NO
YOU BRAVE SOUL
.png)
.png)
I thought this was related to the Swoosh dying but it seems to be random.
.png)
what in god's name
.png)
this sounds important, better hang on to it
.png)
what a cute little dragon
.png)
probably for the best
.png)
i cleared up inventory space just to pick this up and I CAN'T EVEN USE IT UGH
.png)
at the end of the dungeon
.png)
.png)
More Beatles references, this series is full of them
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
i feel you forgotten man
.png)
.png)
->no
.png)
.png)
->NO
.png)
.png)
Then he looped his dialogue. Must be making a mistake here.
.png)
.png)
.png)
GO BACK TO YOUR 3DPD
.png)
.png)
.png)
welp there he goes
.png)
a new cave with a new windy path
.png)

.png)

.png)
not as impressed with the shading on this one
.png)
Anyway I eventually stumbled onto a school.
.png)
.png)
this is misleading, i said no
.png)
.png)
.png)
tough security
the theme here is Twinkle Elementary, it's jaunty and cute. Part of it reprises in the EB naming screens.
.png)
Dragon Warrior 4 is my brother's favorite one I think.
.png)
call the police
.png)
SHH
.png)
hang in there
.png)
.png)
cast your vote
.png)

.png)

.png)
Middle of Nowhere, is that where we are?
DO YOU THINK I'M PRETTY, JUST LIKE A SUPER MODEL DO YOU LIKE MY HAIR, WOAH OH, WOAH OH
->no
.png)

.png)
.png)

.png)
.png)

.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)

.png)
Ninten: :|
(it's the same either way)
.png)
Hey, this came back in the other two! As Trout Yogurt in EB, but still.
.png)

.png)
this sounds familiar
.png)

.png)
too bad
.png)
i bet this piano isn't important
.png)
.png)

.png)
.png)
READING RAINBOWWW

.png)
.png)

.png)
.png)
i'll take your advice very seriously
.png)

.png)
I missed the first line, it was something like "I always say" or something
.png)
twinkleturkeys
.png)
a WHAT
.png)
is the department store going incognito
.png)
puzzle: solved
.png)
this is a family game, how dare you
.png)

.png)
.png)
buncha thugs
.png)

.png)

.png)
.png)
i bet i have to ride that train for some reason
.png)
.png)
.png)
I actually forget my answers to these questions
.png)
.png)
But it doesn't really matter either way
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
sounds legit
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
healthcare
.png)
like that CROOK IN THERE TRYING TO STEAL HALF MY DOUGH
.png)
this is the patriotic part
you can see i haven't found a hospital
.png)
Cars plagiarized Mother 1, write your senator
.png)
.png)
.png)
Oh yeah, Ninten has asthma, I totally forgot about that.
.png)
uh oh
.png)
UH OH
.png)
welp
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
Not too dissimilar to the end screens from the other games.
Game Over and Level Up! for no reason. level up hasn't changed between games I don't think
.png)
It occurred to me then that I hadn't checked any enemies in a while.
.png)
ominous
.png)
sure i lost half my money anyway dying to the devil truck BUT I'D RATHER LET IT GET RUINED SOAKING IN MY OWN BLOOD THEN PAY THAT RIPOFF DOCTOR
.png)
Anyway in Magicant I couldn't find an ATM so I looked it up and it turns out you need to use telepathy at the fountain to call up the dude, thus the cry from the heart thing.
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
Apparently in the original Mother he just healed you which seems really pointless. Like there isn't enough here to do that already.
.png)
.png)
There we go, decked out properly.
.png)
IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE THIS WAY poor flying man
great sorrow of ninten is odd phrasing
.png)
then i thought OH I SHOULD READ THAT GUY'S MIND
.png)
.png)
think up your own riddle
.png)
go in this twisty place
.png)
glossy :o
the music here is Wisdom of the World, one of my favorites from Mother. It kind of solemn and sad but there's also something kind of determined about it. The vocal version has some really pretty lyrics.
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
Dang, I need to help this lady
also these guys remind me a little of pigmasks
.png)
.png)
.png)
I'm picturing a fish hook
.png)
aww
.png)
.png)
.png)
sweet
.png)
.png)
.png)
.png)
I'LL FIND IT FOR YOU
I ALREADY HAVE ALMOST HALF OF IT
.png)
what is this thing i picked up
.png)
THANKS MOTHER
.png)
I didn't have the inventory space for these so I just left them, I'll have to get them later.
.png)
.png)
hehe
.png)
groucho swoosh :O
.png)
.png)
HMM
.png)
.png)
THE MOTHER EXPERIENCE
.png)
anyway in a hole i found this guy
.png)
.png)
BETTER STEAL IT
.png)
hey that guy was just talking about this
.png)
getting from magicant to where you want to go is trickier though
.png)
.png)
D:
.png)
heh
.png)
.png)
STOP LOOKING AT ME
.png)
what on earth
.png)
calm down there lynx
.png)
.png)

.png)
.png)
lot of random animals attack you in Mother
.png)
.png)
I'M EQUALLY CONFUSED
.png)
.png)
i hear you
.png)
.png)
.png)
yes
.png)
hey, my favorite
.png)
stupid inventory problems abound when i have no space to buy a new bat so i can equip it and sell my old bat
.png)

.png)
.png)

.png)
STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO
.png)

.png)
WOOPS
.png)
.png)
.png)

.png)
so i died again but whatevs, checking more stuff
.png)
toss it around your backyard
.png)
the eyes... the eyes...
.png)
.png)
hmm, this looks promising
.png)
doubtful
.png)
i went in, then decided nah, i'll come back later
.png)

.png)
.png)
.png)

.png)
.png)
.png)

.png)
.png)
So in EB it's Eagleland, in Mother 3 it's the Nowhere Islands, and in Mother it's the Middle of Nowhere, hmm.
.png)
.png)

.png)
