This stage is | This stage is from ''EarthBound''. Fourside is a major that Ness has to venture through in order to find the fifth melody of the eight possible. The mayor of Fourside is an old man named Geldegarde Monotoli. Geldegarde worked in the Monotoli Building which is the tallest building in Fourside. The Monotoli Building is the most important places in ''EarthBound'' as it is where you defeat the evil Mani Mani Statue and it is where Ness rescues Paula for the second time. In this stage in ''Melee'', the Monotoli Building is the center building and looks similar to how it was designed in ''EarthBound''. The Monotoli Building in ''EarthBound'' also has a helipad that had Geldegarde's yellow helicopter on it. When Ness confronts Geldegarde, Geldegarde lets Ness use his helicopter to get to his next location. When Ness gets to the helipad, Pokey Minch (Ness' former "friend") stole the helicopter and flew away and crashed in an area known as the Deep Darkness. In this stage, the helipad and the yellow helicopter are retained. The helicopter flying away could be a reference to Pokey stealing the helicopter; however, unlike in ''EarthBound'' the helicopter returns to the helipad. Also, the Monotoli Building is not the tallest building in this stage as taller buildings can be seen in the background. In ''EarthBound'', Fourside also featured buildings that had fire escapes. The building featured on the right looks somewhat like one of the buildings in ''EarthBound'' that had fire escapes and the fire escapes themselves are retained. The buildings in the background don't resemble any building in Fourside. | ||

After the company logos are shown in the opening of ''EarthBound'', there is a "UFO" sound effect and the game displays an image of three large flying saucers attacking a small town. This is the only time these flying saucers appear in ''EarthBound'' as they are never seen in any other part of the game (while there are smaller enemies that are flying saucers in both ''Mother'' and ''EarthBound'', these enemies do not look like the large flying saucers seen in this opening). In this stage, the flying saucers that appeared in the opening also appear in this stage and as the saucers enter the stage the same "UFO" sound can be heard from ''EarthBound'''s opening. | |||
In ''EarthBound'', Fourside is never shown at night, as much of the game only takes place during the day. However, in ''Melee'', it is always night-time on the Fourside stage and features a large moon in the background. This is a reference to the area Moonside version of Fourside in ''EarthBound'', where everything is black with glowing neon edges (as an employee of the Dark Moon Hotel says that it is "always the middle of the night".
