(Magicant was in Ultimate, SSBU has it called as EarthBound Beginnings since SSB series was not reliable w/ potential localized names were not used in the canon games like Roy's Binding Blade was never called as Sword of Seals in FE series for example.)

The stage takes place on three large pink cloud platforms with a small one on below the middle platform. The main feature of this stage are the Flying Men that appear from the houses on the stage. Hitting one of the Flying Men turns it into a non-playable assistant that attacks the opponents. Once the Flying Man is defeated, a gravestone pops up near their house, just like in the original series. After some time has passed, another Flying Man appears, acting the same as before. Only five appear at max, after which they stop spawning. Occasionally, the [[wikibound:Dungeon Man|Dungeon Man]] from ''[[wikibound:EarthBound|EarthBound]]'' walks along the bottom of the stage, with his head serving as an extra platform.
 
Trees from ''[[wikibound:EarthBound Beginnings|EarthBound BeginningsMother]]'' appear and can serve as an extra platform while the octopus statue from Japanese version of ''EarthBoundMother 2'' can serve as both a shield and an extra platform. Standing on the octopus statue causes it to sink into the clouds and eventually drop below the stage. [[wikibound:Mobile Sprout|Mobile Sprout]]s and tomatoes from ''EarthBound'' appear on the stage as well. The Mobile Sprouts serve as moving platforms while the tomatoes can be destroyed by attacking them. The [[wikibound:Sky Runner|Sky Runner]] from ''EarthBound'' also appears on a random part of the stage, serving as an extra platform until it flies off.
 
Another feature of this stage are the dimensional rifts in the background depicting the following scenes from ''EarthBound BeginningsMother'' and ''EarthBound'':

*The tilemap for [[Star World]] is labeled "majikant" in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' development assets, indicating that it may have originally been named after Magicant from the former Japanenese exclusive [[FamicomFamily Computer]] game ''[[wikibound:EarthBound Beginnings|EarthBound BeginningsMother]]''.<ref>Frieze (July 24, 2020).

*The Flying Men were [[List of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U pre-release and unused content|originally]] going to use a brand new 3D model for their appearance; however, according to a ''Famitsu'' magazine interview, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that the model strained the [[Nintendo 3DS]] hardware, causing gameplay lag. The 2D sprite model was made instead, and was used in the final build of the game. Despite the original reason presumably no longer being applicable, the Flying Men still use the same sprites in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
*The Flying Man ignores all team battle rules; if a red team player activates the Flying Man, he begins attacking the other red team players, even if team attacks are turned OFF.
