Magicant (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Magicant appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about it in general, see its article on Wikibound.
Magicant is an active stage on Super Smash Stadium. It debuted towards the end of Season 6, and is the 38th stage to debut overall.
==Stage overview==
A somewhat unbalanced-looking stage that takes place on fuzzy pink clouds. The clouds are semi-solid: they can be passed through from the bottom, but not the top, like true soft platforms. The main three ones are arranged in an inverse of the Battlefield Format, with the middle cloud on the bottom. A fourth, smaller cloud exists underneath the middle cloud, and moves back and forth. Dungeon Man also appears, acting as a fifth platform; he moves from one side kill zone to the other.
The following stage elements appear occasionally on the left and middle main platforms:
*A tree, which acts as an extra soft platform.
*A Mobile Sprout similar to the above, but walks back and forth
*A Sky Runner, which drops down quickly, remains suspended above the stage for about a minute, then rises back up just as quickly. It's completely solid.
*A tomato and/or octopus statue. Anyone hit by these while they fall take 20%. These are completely solid and slowly sink through whatever platform they land on. You can attack the tomato to break it, and stand on the octopus to make it sink faster; Dungeon Man will do the same should they fall onto him.
On the right platform, a Flying Man may sometimes appear. Touch him and he fights for you; however, your opponents can kill him. When this happens, a new one spawns 30 seconds later. If five Flying Men are killed, no further Flying Men will spawn for the rest of the match.
Finally, the fabric of the background may rip, showing:
*Ninten with Mick, outside his house.
*Ninten meeting Lloyd for the first time.
*Ness and Paula in Threed attacking zombies.
*Ness's whole party at the Lumine Hall sanctuary with scrolling text on the wall reading, "I'm Ness..." (oddly, in a different font than what Earthbound used for this scene).
*Ness and friends near the Phase Distorter 2 in the Saturn Valley before they head off to fight Giygas.
==Changes==
The last major change to this stage came on April 16, 1997, when the current, mostly-3D appearance debuted. Prior to this, the stage was in 8-bit.
*The stage was sky blue initially, which doesn't match any known version of Magicant in any Earthbound game's canon at all. On March 11, 1983, the more familiar pink coloring debuted.
==In its own universe==
The first two Earthbound games each featured a Magicant, typically accessed by collecting the Eight Melodies. You are then supposed to find someone in Magicant to sing those Melodies to. In Earthbound Beginnings, Magicant was a manifestation of the dreams of someone named Maria, but in Earthbound, it's Ness's own mind instead.
