This stage is based on the city of {{s|wikibound|Fourside}} from ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'', which is the largest town in {{s|wikibound|Eagleland}} and the fourth that [[Ness]] visits. It is visually inspired by {{s|wikipedia|New York City}}, and includes attractions such as a theatre, a dinosaur museum, a café, and an expansive department store. It has a dark and bizarre parallel version, {{s|wikibound|Moonside}}, created by the power of the evil {{s|wikibound|Mani-Mani Statue}}. Moonside is primarily made up of neon lights and features inhabitants who behave and speak erratically. Once the Statue is defeated by Ness and [[Jeff]], Moonside disappears. While Fourside is set during the day in ''EarthBound'', it appears at night in ''Smash'', causing it to more closely resemble Moonside's darker color palette; however, it lacks the shining neon lights that make up the majority of color in Moonside. | This stage is based on the city of {{s|wikibound|Fourside}} from ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'', which is the largest town in {{s|wikibound|Eagleland}} and the fourth that [[Ness]] visits.

The {{s|wikibound|Monotoli Building}} is one of the tallest buildings in the city, with a private helipad on its roof. It is the workplace of Fourside's mayor, {{s|wikibound|Geldegarde Monotoli}}, who—under the influence of the Mani-Mani Statue—keeps [[Paula]] prisoner. After Paula is freed, he offers to lend his helicopter to Ness and his friends to help them reach their next location; however, [[Porky Minch]] steals the helicopter and flies away. In ''Melee'', the helicopter has a more realistic appearance, while in ''Ultimate'', it closely resembles its appearance in ''EarthBound''. In both games, the design of the Monotoli Building is different than how it appeared in ''EarthBound'', though it retains the vertical "MONOTOLI" sign on its front. | The {{s|wikibound|Monotoli Building}} is one of the tallest buildings in the city, with a private helipad on its roof.
