Threed

Location from EarthBound by Shigesato Itoi / Nintendo

The zombie town — a place that was normal until Master Belch's army of undead took over, trapping residents in their homes and turning the graveyard into a monster highway.

Threed is the third town, and it is having a very bad time. Master Belch's zombie army has overrun the place — the dead wander the streets, the graveyard leads to underground tunnels, and a mysterious woman lures Ness and Paula into a hotel room trap. They wake up locked in a cell under the graveyard, and Paula must telepathically contact Jeff across an ocean to save them. After Jeff crash-lands the Sky Runner into the graveyard and frees them, the party uses Apple Kid's Zombie Paper (delivered by Mach Pizza to a war zone, because EarthBound) to trap the remaining zombies. Once Master Belch is defeated at Grapefruit Falls, the town is liberated and the citizens emerge blinking into the sunlight. The circus tent remains. Itoi's notes say Threed was styled after Chicago.

Appearance

Dark, oppressive atmosphere. The streets are dim even during the day. Two graveyards. A circus tent. The hotel has seen better days. Everything feels slightly rotten. After liberation, the town brightens dramatically.
