Hi folks, I'm back! And I come bearing another theory post. Tonight's episode: Magicant in Mother 3 and why Tanetane island is a manifestation of Lucas's.
It's rather common knowledge that Magicant, both of them, are a manifestation of one's subconcious, with Smash 4 stating "[Magicant is] a magical world in Mother and EarthBound, brought to life by the memories of certain characters." and Mother Encyclopedia stating "You get the feeling you've stumbled into somebody's dream. Going inside another person's slumberland shouldn't be possible, yet this country is like the replicant (the reproduction) of a dream."
However, with the mind, comes one's fears. As Ness's Nightmare and regrets over his previous battles, Buzz Buzz, Porky, and the Flying Men (if they die) appear in Ness's Magicant, likewise, Maria's Magicant contains the Forgotten Man and similar regrets over the Flying Men. Mother Encyclopedia even makes this clear by saying this about the final stretch of the Crystal Caverns: "With strange apparitions flying all about, if there were ever such a thing as the bottom of the world, it would, without a doubt, look like this desolation of immeasurable loneliness. You can't help but think to yourself, is this really how lonely Queen Mary's sorrow is?"
Magicant is known for really showing the mental state of its owners, but this series stable is oddly not present in Mother 3.
Or is it?
It's not really clear if Magicant is a physical location in either case, but it is clear that they have some form of tangibility given how both Ninten and Ness can bring back items from Magicant to the real world. In Ness's case, it is most clearly a mental location as otherwise, he's in Fire Springs. He didn't move in any extreme way between passing out and waking up, so that one is mental, but Maria's is a little more debatable. There seems to be no tunnel between the entrance and exit caves to her Magicant, and yet, Ninten is able to enter one, pass through Magicant, and exit though the other tunnel. Perhaps her Magicant is placed over the otherwise invisible tunnel in some way or it's just some form of teleportation, but it's clear that Magicants can have some interaction to the real world. Cue the theory.
I think Tanetane Island is some manifestation of Lucas's Magicant. Now, not the regular island itself, but the state it's in under the mushrooms' effect is, in essence, Lucas's Magicant leaking out into the real world. With his mind in an altered state, he doesn't control certain cognitive abilities, and with this, it just may include his ability to confine his Magicant. Let's go over the points: does the altered Tanetane reflect on Lucas's mental state? Absolutely. It is rife with his fears and some of his team's fears. (Side note: this may be some kind of telepathy gone wrong where this might even be everyone's minds contributing a little.) On top of that, altered Tanetane is bizarrely colored as the previous two Magicants were with surreal elements, similarly to a dream. The island may be real, but it's modifications are not. This, I believe, is Lucas's (and possibly Duster or Kumatora's) Magicant. It would certainly bring things full circle.

alright ok but like. smth I don't think I've seen people address about Tanetane island is that you never swap which character you control during the mushroom trip—you play that whole section as Lucas. from his point of view.
which means he's seeing Kumatora and Duster's hallucinations. and they're seeing his, too. they're all in one big, shared hallucination together.
and while I agree with the general sentiment of "I wish the Mother 3 party got to talk to each other more" (something that I think was a product of its time), I DON'T think Tanetane was the place to do it. I saw someone suggest that Kumatora should've helped reassure Lucas that it wasn't really Claus he was seeing, but that's the thing: she couldn't have done that, because she was seeing Claus, too.
and that's WHY that section hit so hard for me—the group saw each other's greatest fears, the secrets they hid, the emotions they pushed down into their subconscious. Kumatora is a false princess. Duster's father crippled him. Lucas had a twin named Claus (Duster knew this, but Kumatora didn't) and he's never gotten over losing him.
the lack of dialogue works for Tanetane, I think, because what do you say in that situation?
it's like overhearing your friend telling someone else a secret you weren't supposed to hear.

noooboody liiiikes you eeeeeveryyyyone leeeft you they're aaaall out withoooout you haaaviiiing fun
the text in the drawing isn't a green day reference but i realized it reminded me of those lyrics (letterbomb) and the nursery rhyme-like singing really fits tbh
something something don't do drugs kids
tanetane island art because i love the part in mother 3 where lucas's normally kind and loving brother is telling him everyone he loves hates him (which is actually the version of claus lucas made up in his head because he assumes that since he hates himself and blames himself for his family being broken apart that they do also, they do not. though ironically the one thing that lucas is not mistaken about is that the real claus also wants to kill him)
claus kinda looks like a zombie which wasn't the intent but honestly it works
