Magicant is an area in ''[[wikibound:Mother (video game)|Mother]]'', in which {{s|wikibound|Queen Mary}} resides, for whom {{s|wikibound|Ninten}} collects the {{s|wikibound|Eight Melodies}}, and exists only in her mind. A similar location of the same name would also appear in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'' as a land in [[Ness]]' mind, accessed by collecting the Eight Melodies, in which he rids [[wikibound:Ness's Nightmare|all evil within him]]. This stage is based off Magicant in ''Mother'', but contains elements from ''EarthBound'' as well. The design of the houses seen towards the back of the platforms are based off the houses of Magicant in ''Mother''; however, the house on the right platform is based off the Flying Men's house from Magicant in ''EarthBound''. | Magicant is an area in ''[[wikibound:Mother (video game)|Mother]]'', in which {{s|wikibound|Queen Mary}} resides, for whom {{s|wikibound|Ninten}} collects the {{s|wikibound|Eight Melodies}}, and exists only in her mind.

Some of the residents of Magicant, in both ''Mother'' and ''EarthBound'', are the five [[wikibound:Flying Man|Flying Men]]. Flying Men are bipedal bird creatures with human qualities that Ninten and Ness can recruit with them to help fight against enemies in Magicant. When a Flying Man is killed in battle, a tombstone cross will appear next to their home, and another will appear for every Flying Man killed until all five are dead. In this stage, Flying Men can appear from their house on the right side of the stage and help fight the enemy player(s). The design of the Flying Men themselves is directly based off their 2D sprite in ''EarthBound''.

In ''EarthBound'', there are certain paths that are blocked throughout the game by iron pencil statues. The only way to get rid of the iron pencils is by using the {{s|wikibound|Pencil Eraser}} item invented by {{s|wikibound|Apple Kid}}. In the Japanese version of ''EarthBound'', rather than iron pencils, the statues are iron octopuses<!--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_form_of_words_ending_in_-us#Octopus-->, and rather the item to make them disappear being called the "Pencil Eraser", it is called the "Octopus Eraser Machine". In this stage, large octopus statues have a chance of appearing on the platforms of the stage. The statue eventually disappears on its own. | In ''EarthBound'', there are certain paths that are blocked throughout the game by iron pencil statues.
