Location from EarthBound by Shigesato Itoi / Nintendo
An ancient desert island inspired by Egypt — bazaars, pyramids, brutal heat, and the entrance to both Dungeon Man and the Deep Darkness.
Scaraba is reached by boat from Toto after defeating the Kraken, and it's EarthBound's Egypt. The northern town has a bustling bazaar selling everything from snakes to kabobs at reduced Summers prices. The southern desert is brutally hot — Ness and company suffer sunstroke on the darker sand. The Pyramid contains puzzles that Poo solves using hieroglyphs from the Summers museum. Beyond the Pyramid lies Dungeon Man. Someone left a note in the desert that a 'fat kid just did his business over there.' Checking the spot confirms 'Pokey's stink still hangs in the air.' The rarest enemy in the game, the Master Criminal Worm, lives near one of the oases. Average temperature: 140F. Rainfall: none. Average age of residents: 112. Camels: 2.
Northern town with bazaar stalls on sand. Southern desert stretches into barren, sunstroke-inducing wasteland with scattered oases. The Pyramid rises from the desert. Darker sand marks where sunstroke is possible. The heat is oppressive.
