Magicant is discovered early on in this game by the lead character, Ninten. After using his telepathy ability on a strange rock-like structure marked "XX" in a cave, he is transported to this mysterious "dream world."
Ninten, Ana, and Loid visit the town in Magicant.This land plays a very important role throughout the rest of Mother. In Magicant, Ninten and his friends first visit an extremely helpful town located there with free hotels and hospitals. It also has three item stores which sell very useful items. Upon leaving the town area the party fights various strange enemies unique to Magicant. The party will also meet the mysterious Flying Man, a limited supply of bird-like creatures that will help join the team in battle until they die. (Described further in Magicant in EarthBound below).
The party will visit a palace which is home to the sad Queen Mary, who is Ninten's great-grandmother Maria that disappeared in the 1900s. All the different music the party collects throughout the game is part of a tune that Queen Mary is trying to remember. When Queen Mary remembers the tone, she and Magicant disappear, and Ninten is able to use the song to defeat Giegue.
To leave Magicant, the party must adventure through a well maze. In this well, they will find the Onyx Hook. This item, once in their inventory, will warp them back to Magicant from wherever they are in the game. This is very useful to get the party out of sticky situations. When the player are lost in a dungeon or low in HP, PP and party members are passed out, the player can warp to Magicant to escape and recover.
