Gummy frog

MarsAdept: /* Types of Gummy Frogs */Three changes. First was italics. Second was switching things around so Vacation is mentioned first. Third was adding Blue healing info for MV as it was just ‘unknown’ previously. (Not 100% certain on that last one so fix it if I’m incorrect!)

[[File:Mv_gummy_frog.jpg|thumb|291px|Official Art of a Green Gummy Frog from Magical Vacation.]]
'''Gummy Frogs''' are the most common type of items for recovering HP. They can be found in a large number of areas throughout both ''[[Magical Vacation]]'' and ''[[Magical Starsign]]''.

==In Magical Vacation==
Gummy Frogs are typically found hopping around in the overworld, and they can be picked up when interacted with. Those captured this way will be tallied on the [[Report Card]].

They can also be captured by other means, such as from [[Potfolk|HP Pots]] with [[Pistachio]] in your party, from chests, or as rewards in battle. Acquiring them through these means will ''not'' be tallied on the Report Card.

However, catching Gummy Frogs in the overworld will result in the gradual absence of [[Charity|Love Seirei]]; spirits that are essential for improving [[Peche|Pêche's]] healing spells. Gummy Frogs can be caught without consequence once all 7 Love Seirei are recruited, which segues into the acquisition of [[Inky|Darkness Seirei]]. Darkness Seirei 7 requires 1000 Gummy Worms to be caught in the overworld.

When the party enters [[Ridonahi]], a lone Gummy Frog can be recruited as a party member. It shares the Love element with Pêche.

==In Magical Starsign==
Gummy frogs are periodically encountered in the field in groups in ''Magical Starsign''. Often, one or two exploding gummy frogs will be mixed in, which will damage all party members when interacted with. Mokka's [[Wild Magic]] will flip all gummy frogs on their backs, while leaving exploding gummy frogs upright.

After picking up a certain number of gummy frogs, they will stop appearing in the field (Each colour of gummy frog is tracked separately). If the player does not pick up or buy any gummy frogs throughout the course of the game, then they can obtain a special [[Egg Characters|egg character]] depending on their alignment.

==Types of Gummy Frogs==
===Green Gummy Frog===
Green gummy frogs are the most commonly seen type of gummy frogs. They can be bought at shops for 20 Bira, and restore 30 HP in ''Magical Vacation'' and 150 HP in ''Magical Starsign''.
===Blue Gummy Frog===
Blue gummy frogs are uncommonly encountered throughout the Baklava System. They can be bought at shops for 250 Bira, and restore 50 HP in ''Magical Vacation'' and 250 HP in ''Magical Starsign''.

===Red Gummy Frog===
Red gummy frogs are the rarest type of gummy frog encountered outside of [[Amigo Mode]]. A single red gummy frog appears in a small cave just east of the entrance to Paella on [[Razen]]. Red frogs will occasionally be used by the [[Space Warden]] during the [[Cybersaurus]] boss fight in [[Sugarleaf Plains West]].

===Other Gummy Frogs===
Other types of gummy frogs can be obtained in ''Magical Starsign'', though only through Tag Mode and Amigo Dungeons, and thus are not encountered in regular gameplay. Despite the extreme variety of gummy frogs available through Amigo Mode, the most HP recovered by any of them is 45, meaning that a regular green gummy frog is still more than three times as effective in a best-case scenario.

Magical Vacation (series)

2023-01-24T08:56:28Z

MarsAdept: /* History */Three spirits cannot be chosen at the start. At least, not by normal means.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Magical Vacation'' (series)}}
{{Hatnote|This article is about the series. For the first game in the series, see ''[[Magical Vacation]]''.}}
[[File:Magical Vacation (series) Logo.png|right|400px]]
'''''Magical Vacation''''',<ref group="lower-alpha" name="MV">{{JP|マジカルバケーション|Majikaru Bakēshon}}</ref> sometimes abbreviated as '''''MagiVaca''''',<ref group="lower-alpha">{{JP|マジバケ|MajiBake}}</ref> is a series of two role-playing video games developed by [[Brownie Brown]] (now 1-Up Studio) and published by [[Nintendo]]. Both games are set in the same continuity, featuring a nameless protagonist who starts their adventure at [[Will-o'-Wisp Academy]], a school of magic on the planet [[Kovomaka]]. Their teacher, Miss [[Madeleine]], and their principal, [[Biscotti]], serve as guiding characters, among other recurring characters between the games.

==History==
===''Magical Vacation''===
[[File:Magical Vacation.png|right|150px]]
The first game in the series, ''[[Magical Vacation]]'',<ref group="lower-alpha" name="MV"/> was released for the [[wikipedia:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] exclusively in Japan on December 7, 2001. It was the first Game Boy Advance game to be announced by Nintendo with a title on June 7, 2000, originally scheduled for Spring of 2001.<ref>{{Cite Web |first=IGN Staff |date=June 7, 2000 |website=[[wikipedia:IGN|IGN]] |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/06/08/nintendos-new-game-boy-advance-development-team |title=Nintendo's New Game Boy Advance Development Team |access-date=January 21, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000815230427/http://pocket.ign.com/news/20579.html |archive-date=August 15, 2000}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Web |first=IGN Staff |date=September 29, 2000 |website=IGN |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/30/beware-of-hitchhiking-brownies |title=Beware of Hitchhiking Brownies |access-date=January 21, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103034508/https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/30/beware-of-hitchhiking-brownies |archive-date=November 3, 2012}}</ref> The game was the first creation of the newly-founded [[Brownie Brown]], headed by [[Kōji Tsuda]] and [[Shinichi Kameoka]], who also served as the game's lead artist. They both had previously worked with [[wikipedia:SquareSoft|SquareSoft]] on the [[wikipedia:Mana (series)|''Mana'' series]], with the game's art direction being nearly identical to that featured in ''[[wikipedia:Legend of Mana|Legend of Mana]]''. The setting of the game differs from ''Mana'' in that its high fantasy is not strictly medieval, blending modernistic design elements such as vehicles and robots with more fantastical character and environment designs. The game notably features a very large cast of characters, all of whom have their own magical [[spirit]], whereas the [[Protagonist (Magical Vacation)|Protagonist]] is able to freely choose almost any of the game's spirits. In addition to its single-player gameplay, the game also features a multiplayer mode called [[Link Mode]] that takes advantage of the Nintendo [[wikipedia:Game Link Cable|Game Link Cable]], an accessory that allows data connection of Game Boy Advance systems.<ref>{{Cite Media|MV}}</ref>

Shortly after the game's release, a tie-in manga was released titled ''[[The Day Before the Seaside School]]'', taking place one day before the game's events. Furthermore, two venues called the [[Let's Amigo Events]] were held in January 2002, allowing players to connect to each other's games and unlock multiplayer-exclusive content.

===''Magical Starsign''===
[[File:Magical Starsign - US.png|right|150px]]
The second game in the series, ''[[Magical Starsign]]'', was released for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]]. It is the only of the two games to release internationally, first releasing in Japan on June 22, 2006 as ''Magical Vacation: When the Five Planets Align'',<ref group="lower-alpha">{{JP|マジカルバケーション 5つの星がならぶとき|Majikaru Bakēshon Itsutsu no Hoshi ga Narabu Toki}}</ref> and in the United States on October 23 of the same year. Meanwhile, the game did not come out in Europe until February 9, 2007. Unlike the previous game, which featured various realms in a single world for its environments, ''Magical Starsign'''s areas are instead the various planets of the [[Baklava Solar System]], with the player only being on Kovomaka for the game's tutorial section. The gameplay significantly differs from the first entry in the series, scrapping the multitude of elemental Spirits in favor of seven Affinities, with the [[Protagonist (Magical Starsign)|Protagonist]] only able to choose between two of them. The cast is similarly reduced to only six characters, in comparison to 16 regular party members in ''Magical Vacation''. New to ''Magical Starsign'' are [[Egg Characters]], additional party members who are obtained through the game's version of Link Mode, [[Amigo Mode]]. Amigo Mode now utilizes the Nintendo DS's wireless communication functions, allowing up to four players to directly compete with each other in [[Amigo Dungeon]], or share messages and items in [[Tag Mode]].<ref>{{Cite Media|MS}}</ref>

In 2008, characters from the ''Magical Vacation'' series made cameo appearances in ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' for the Wii, including the recurring characters [[Mokka]], [[Traveling Putty]], and [[Pyrite]] as collectible trophies.<ref>{{Cite Media|SSBB}}</ref>

===''Knights of the Universe''===
{{Expand|4}}
[[File:Knights of the Universe.png|right|150px]]

===Legacy===
Following the restructuring of Brownie Brown to become 1-Up Studio, the series has remained inactive. Despite this, its characters once again made cameos in ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch]] in 2018.<ref>{{Cite Media|SSBU}}</ref>

On June 7, 2016, a fan translation of ''Magical Vacation'' was released on [https://www.romhacking.net/ Romhacking.net] by an anonymous individual with the username magicalpatcher.<ref>[https://www.romhacking.net/translations/2662/ Romhacking.net - Translations - Magical Vacation]</ref>

In 2017, a simulation role-playing game titled ''EGGLIA: Legend of the Redcap'', a spiritual successor to the ''Magical Vacation'' series, was created for iOS and Android devices by the studio [[wikipedia:Brownies (company)|Brownies]], which was founded by Shinichi Kameoka after his departure from Nintendo in 2013. Following the game's discontinuance in 2018, it received an enhanced port for the Nintendo Switch on December 16, 2021, titled ''EGGLIA Rebirth''.

'''Toasty '''(トースト, ''Tōsuto'', '''Toast''') are spirits of the Fire element that are recruited by paying a certain number of [[Ignis Coin|Ignis Coins]].

[[Kirsche|Kirsche Pintail]] uses Toasty in battle, and the [[protagonist]] can choose it as their starting element. Toasty's special power gives Fire spells higher power rankings compared to other elements, making it easy to use.

In the overworld, Fire Spirits are disguised as candles.

'''Pretty''' (パウダー, ''Paudā,'' '''Powder''') are [[spirits]] of the Beauty element that are recruited by paying a certain number of [[Decor Coin|Decor Coins]].

[[Cider|Cider Rainbow]] uses Pretty element in battle, and the [[protagonist]] can choose it as their starting element. Pretty's special power has a small chance of inflicting Paralysis.

Beauty Spirits won't join if the party owns a lot of [[Gummy Worm|Gummy Worms]]. Once a Beauty Spirit has been recruited, they won't let you catch more Gummy Worms than it allows for (listed below). When the player catches 1 more than allowed, a Beauty Spirit will threaten to leave if all Gummy Worms are not disposed of. It does not care how many have been caught in total; only those currently in the inventory.

The only exception to the above rule is if a Gummy Worm was obtained through a chest or as an enemy item drop. See [[Spirits#Recommended order|''Spirits § Recommended order'']] for advice on how to effectively obtain all 7 Beauty Spirits.

In the overworld, Beauty Spirits are disguised as hand mirrors.

'''Edgy''' (スラッシュ, ''Surasshu,'' '''Slash''') are are [[spirits]] of the Blade element that are recruited by paying a certain number of [[Gladius Coin|Gladius Coins]] and abandoning all [[Gummy Frog|Gummy Frogs]] on-hand. They speak in archaic English, using words like "thy" when referring to others. Edgy's special power amplifies the power of Blade Magic, but limits its range to the enemy team's front row.

[[Cassis|Cassis Lumberyard]] uses Edgy in battle, and the [[protagonist]] can choose it as their starting element. If Cassis is in the party during the recruitment of a Blade Spirit, he will retrieve all the discarded Gummy Frogs.

In the overworld, Blade Spirits are disguised as floating swords.

{{Quote|A spirit that loves music. It is naturally attracted to people who sing.}}

'''Catchy''' (ハミング, ''Hamingu'', '''Humming''') are [[spirits]] of the Sound element that are recruited by paying a certain number of [[Vox Coin|Vox Coins]]. They sing when talking, using "♪" instead of periods. Catchy's special power buffs a friend's Spirit (magic resistance). It also has a chance of inflicting Sleep on enemies.

[[Arancia|Arancia Scorenote]] and [[Dodo (Party Member)|Dodo]] use Catchy in battle, and the [[Protagonist (Magical Vacation)|protagonist]] can choose it as their starting element. If Arancia is present during the recruitment of a Sound Spirit, and the [[Small Ocarina]] has been obtained, the asking price of Vox Coins will be reduced.

In the overworld, Sound Spirits are disguised as musical notes.

{{Quote|A spirit that grows on trees. Acorns, walnuts, and hazelnuts are all part of its family.}}

'''Sticky''' (スティック, ''Sutikku'', '''Stick''') are [[spirits]] of the Wood element that are recruited by paying a certain number of [[Pinecone (Item)|pinecones]]. They are very polite to passersby and consider pinecones to be their kin. Sticky's special power has a chance of decreasing an enemy's Spirit (magic resistance).

[[Pistachio|Pistachio Maplewood]] and [[Traveling Putty (Party Member)|Bachelard the Traveling Putty]] use Sticky in battle, and the [[Protagonist (Magical Vacation)|protagonist]] can choose it as their starting element.

In the overworld, Wood Spirits are disguised as fallen twigs.

'''Furry''' (ガル, ''Garu,'' '''Grr''') are [[spirits]] of the Beast element that are recruited by paying a certain number of [[Unstun Tail|Unstun Tails]]. They get excited very easily, but become impatient when things do not go their way. Furry's special power can buff a friend's Power (physical attacks).

[[Olive|Olive Tearclown]] uses Furry in battle, and the [[Protagonist (Magical Vacation)|protagonist]] can choose it as their starting element.

{{Quote|A spirit that loves all living beings. Its limitless love also extends to inanimate objects.}}

'''Charity''' (ウィッシュ, ''U~isshu,'' lit. ''Wish'') are Love Spirits that can be recruited by fulfilling certain tasks throughout the course of ''[[Magical Vacation]]''. Charity cannot be selected as the [[Protagonist (Magical Vacation)|player's]] starter element; Love Magic is obtained by registering at least one [[Amigos|Amigo]] of each starting element.

Love Spirits run away from those who have caught too many [[Gummy Frog|Gummy Frogs]]. Catching too many will makes Love Spirits permanently missable, which wanes on anyone who is able to cast Love Magic.

[[Peche|Peche Farmer]] and a recruitable [[Gummy Frog (Party Member)|Gummy Frog]] use this element in battle. Its special power recovers allies' HP and MP.

{{Quote|A spirit that dislikes the dark. It radiates light and brightens the world.}}

'''Holy''' (ルクス, ''Rukusu,'' lit. ''Lux)'' are Light Spirits that can be recruited by having few or no Dark Spirits befriended. Holy cannot be selected as the [[Protagonist (Magical Vacation)|player's]] starter element; Light Magic is obtained by levelling all other elements up to Lv 18.

[[Brown]] uses this element in battle. Its special power has a chance to inflict [https://magicalvacation.fandom.com/wiki/Combat_(Magical_Vacation)#Status_Ailments Blindness].

Light Spirits despise darkness. If the player has recruited too many [[Inky|Dark Spirits]] beforehand, they will refuse to join the team.

In the overworld, Light Spirits are disguised as yellow sparkles.

MarsAdept: The Spirit pages are an absolute mess. Inconsistencies between them, blockquotes everywhere, etc. They need a lot of work, and I feel like it should be a top priority due to the pages being featured on the homepage. I’m going to start with Rainy, Zappy, and Early first since they don’t even have top navigation and infoboxes. Much to my frustration, I somehow broke the infobox and I couldn’t figure out why, so if anyone could fix that I would be very grateful. Otherwise, I’m going to try to fi...

'''Rainy''' (フロー, ''Furō / Flow''), are Water Spirits that can be recruited by paying them a certain number of [[Coins|Aqua Coins]]. They are somewhat timid and speak politely to the people the meet.

{{Quote|You scared us! Of course Traveling Putties can speak!|Blueberry, scolding Sesame}}
'''Traveling Putties''' (こんにゃく様, ''Konnyaku-sama / Mr Konjac'') are bipedal, sentient molds of putty. They are found just about everywhere in [[Kovomaka]], and the [[Baklava Solar System]] in general. New Traveling Putties are made by mashing and boiling [[Putty Pea|Putty Peas]].

==Profile==

===<big>Appearance</big>===
Traveling Putties are floppy and have grey square-ish bodies. The only distinct facial features that they have are a pair of long blue eyes.

===<big>Personality</big>===
They tend to be very optimistic about things, and enjoy simply being alive.

==Gameplay==

===<big>''[[Magical Vacation]]''</big>===
A lone Traveling Putty named Bachelard is seen in a couple of places throughout the game, usually on the lookout for Putty Peas. Once the party reaches [[Osim Village]] in the [[Land of Darkness|Dark Realm]], it is revealed that Bachelard wants to find Putty Peas so he can repopulate the empty town. After delivering all 20 Putty Peas, Bachelard will leave a fully-populated Osim Village behind to join the party. He is referred to as Traveling Putty instead of Bachelard upon recruitment.

===<big>''[[Magical Starsign]]''</big>===

==Moveset ==
Traveling Putty only has a moveset in Magical Vacation.

{{Quote|Let's... teleport! No matter where you are, I can pull you out of my silk hat like a rabbit!.|Pizza's introduction}}

'''Pizza''' '''the Warp Dude''' (ワープ屋さん・ピッツァ, ''Wāpu-Ya-san'' ''Pittsa'') is a character from [[Magical Vacation|''Magical Vacation'']] and [[Magical Starsign|''Magical Starsign'']]. By paying a small fee, Pizza will register Warp Points on the map for instant travel.

==Profile==

===Personality===
Pizza is a very energetic and charismatic salesman. The way he speaks is comparable to stage magicians.

===Appearance===
In both installments of the [[Magical Vacation (series)|''Magical Vacation'' series]], Pizza has roughly the same design. He has light blue skin, red irises, and big purple lips. For clothes, Pizza wears his iconic blue hat, a red magician's robe with a yellow drawstring, big brown loafers, and holds a cane in his right hand.

==Gameplay==
When Pizza is paid in 5 [[Pinecone (Item)|pinecones]] (''MV'') or a [[sugarstar]] (''MS''), he adds a Warp Point to the map. By opening the World Map and selecting a marked Warp Point, the party will teleport there next to his hat.

===''[[Magical Vacation]]''===
Not every Warp Point in the game is registered by Pizza. Some are added by NPCs, and the [[Magic Bus]] can be warped to regardless of where it is on the map.

==Trivia==

*Pizza is a dish originating from Italy. It usually involves flat dough being topped with cheese and tomatoes, and is then baked in a wood-fired oven.
* The Warp Shop was opened due to Pizza's peculiar interest in pinecones, which explains why players must pay 5 pinecones to register a Warp Point.
* His hat is a 4D object. This allows him to be in multiple places at once, and is also how he can retrieve anything from all over the world.

== New Here and Edit Request ==

Hi! As you can tell I’m new here. On top of that I don’t usually sign up for wikis; This is my first time, so it’s going to take me a while to figure out how the formatting and html stuff on articles work. I’m glad to be under you and your friend’s wing though, assuming you’re fine with that! It seems like you two admins are the only active users here at the moment. Must get lonely. Also, this is rather embarrassing, but I actually have yet to play either Vacation or Starsign! I should be getting a copy of Vacation in the mail soon though… I hope! I was also wondering how I could get a profile page like yours?

In addition, I have an edit request for the main page. It says towards the bottom of the page that Magical Starsign released in 2005 when it should say 2006. I think that should be fixed but maybe there’s reasoning behind that I don’t know about? You let me know what your thoughts are!

Finally, I hope I do this signature thing with the four tildes right… Hope to see you around, and have a nice day!

== I got the game! ==

Hey! That’s right! I got Magical Vacation! I’m so excited to go on an adventure on Kovomaka! But I did have a question. I heard that there’s four softlocks in the game, and I don’t want to run into any of them. Are these in the actual game or is it just an issue with the fan translation? And if it’s the former, what are they and how do I avoid them?

Also, for the sake of making this at least somewhat related to the wiki, I was wondering how do I make talk pages for articles. There’s something that I would like to talk about in-depth ahead of time rather than making a sudden edit for.

Thanks! [[User:MarsAdept|MarsAdept]] ([[User talk:MarsAdept|talk]]) 03:21, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

:Yo, it's Magic. In regards to softlocks in MV, they're only really present in the English fanslation. In particular, they sometimes occur when Blueberry uses her out-of-battle ability to translate the words of water people, who you'll find in Akvavit Castle, May Village/Moiroroto Village, and the Abyssal Corridor/Death Corridor. And if I remember correctly, there's a treeman in Treeman's Colony who softlocks the game when talked to. Those are the only ones I know of so far.

:As for article talk pages. If you look above the article's title, you'll see two tabs that say Article and Talk, the latter of which is the talk/discussion page. Hope this helps! [[User:Magicwindsock|Magicwindsock]] ([[User talk:Magicwindsock|talk]]) 04:47, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

== Another Home Page Edit Request ==

Hi again.

I am requesting that the Shadra link on the Magical Starsign section of the home page be fixed. It is broken because Magicwindsock moved the page a few days ago but didn’t change the home page to include the new link. This move also affected some pages, most notably the Dark Starsign page. Another thing I noticed is that the Dark page has its planet labeled as Nova and I was wondering if that was intentional because I’m not familiar enough with Starsign to know if that was a mistake or not. Also, on the five elemental pages besides Light/Dark, the element that should be in the ‘Strong Against’ section is grouped into the ‘Weak To’ section. I see it as this on both mobile and desktop versions.

Lastly, I was wondering if there’s a page listing all the pages that have yet to be created and need to. (An example would be the Let’s Amigo Events.) It would come in handy for future reference. [[User:MarsAdept|MarsAdept]] ([[User talk:MarsAdept|talk]]) 23:54, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

I hope that clears up the confusion. [[User:MarsAdept|MarsAdept]] ([[User talk:MarsAdept|talk]]) 07:01, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

== New Here and Edit Request ==

Hi! As you can tell I’m new here. On top of that I don’t usually sign up for wikis; This is my first time, so it’s going to take me a while to figure out how the formatting and html stuff on articles work. I’m glad to be under you and your friend’s wing though, assuming you’re fine with that! It seems like you two admins are the only active users here at the moment. Must get lonely. Also, this is rather embarrassing, but I actually have yet to play either Vacation or Starsign! I should be getting a copy of Vacation in the mail soon though… I hope! I was also wondering how I could get a profile page like yours?

In addition, I have an edit request for the main page. It says towards the bottom of the page that Magical Starsign released in 2005 when it should say 2006. I think that should be fixed but maybe there’s reasoning behind that I don’t know about? You let me know what your thoughts are!

Finally, I hope I do this signature thing with the four tildes right… Hope to see you around, and have a nice day!

:I'm glad to have you here! Don't worry, you nailed your signature haha. Thank you for pointing out the error on the main page, I appreciate it! I have fixed it now. To help you get started, you can visit [[wikipedia:Help:Wikitext|this article]] on Wikipedia that goes in depth about WikiText, which is the markup language that is used on wiki pages. User pages are also configured through Wikitext. I'll set up a blank slate user page for you to configure, that should help.

== I got the game! ==

Hey! That’s right! I got Magical Vacation! I’m so excited to go on an adventure on Kovomaka! But I did have a question. I heard that there’s four softlocks in the game, and I don’t want to run into any of them. Are these in the actual game or is it just an issue with the fan translation? And if it’s the former, what are they and how do I avoid them?

Also, for the sake of making this at least somewhat related to the wiki, I was wondering how do I make talk pages for articles. There’s something that I would like to talk about in-depth ahead of time rather than making a sudden edit for.

Thanks! [[User:MarsAdept|MarsAdept]] ([[User talk:MarsAdept|talk]]) 03:21, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

:Yo, it's Magic. In regards to softlocks in MV, they're only really present in the English fanslation. In particular, they sometimes occur when Blueberry uses her out-of-battle ability to translate the words of water people, who you'll find in Akvavit Castle, May Village/Moiroroto Village, and the Abyssal Corridor/Death Corridor. And if I remember correctly, there's a treeman in Treeman's Colony who softlocks the game when talked to. Those are the only ones I know of so far.

:As for article talk pages. If you look above the article's title, you'll see two tabs that say Article and Talk, the latter of which is the talk/discussion page. Hope this helps! [[User:Magicwindsock|Magicwindsock]] ([[User talk:Magicwindsock|talk]]) 04:47, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

== Another Home Page Edit Request ==

Hi again.

I am requesting that the Shadra link on the Magical Starsign section of the home page be fixed. It is broken because Magicwindsock moved the page a few days ago but didn’t change the home page to include the new link. This move also affected some pages, most notably the Dark Starsign page. Another thing I noticed is that the Dark page has its planet labeled as Nova and I was wondering if that was intentional because I’m not familiar enough with Starsign to know if that was a mistake or not. Also, on the five elemental pages besides Light/Dark, the element that should be in the ‘Strong Against’ section is grouped into the ‘Weak To’ section. I see it as this on both mobile and desktop versions.

Lastly, I was wondering if there’s a page listing all the pages that have yet to be created and need to. (An example would be the Let’s Amigo Events.) It would come in handy for future reference. [[User:MarsAdept|MarsAdept]] ([[User talk:MarsAdept|talk]]) 23:54, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
:Issues have been fixed. I need to look into that issue with PortableInfobox, should be able to fix it soon. The page tracker you are looking for is [[Special:WantedPages]].

== Broken Link ==

Just wanted to let you know on your citation addition on both MV series and game pages, the link to the original is broken and just redirects to IGN’s homepage. I did mine on the Brownie Brown page a little differently so if you wanted to use that it’s fine by me. [[User:MarsAdept|MarsAdept]] ([[User talk:MarsAdept|talk]]) 06:54, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Magical Vacation

2023-01-22T05:51:02Z

MarsAdept:

{{Talk Page}}

==When was Magical Vacation announced? (Plus other questions.)==

(This concerns both the article for the first game and the one for the series as a whole, but for simplicity’s sake it will go on the talk page for the game.)

So it seems like there’s some fuzzy details behind Magical Vacation’s development period. Something that caught me off guard was on the series article states that Magical Vacation was the first ever GBA game announced in September 2000. This sentence was actually what prompted me to join the wiki.

Now, “MV was the first GBA game announced” and “MV was first announced [to the public] in September 2000” are two individual claims that can be questioned later. However, when put together, the claim is contradictory and completely wrong.

Confusingly, it seems like the first announcement of the GBA itself and the first announcement of games for the system took place separately. Wikipedia cites [https://web.archive.org/web/19991127212154/https://pocket.ign.com/news/10064.html this] article as when the GBA was first announced. Note how I said announced and not unveiled. The showcase of the actual system would not be until much later it seems. [https://web.archive.org/web/20000815195705/http://pocket.ign.com/news/9942.html Another] IGN article was also cited. This one is from a few days earlier and it seems like the GBA was teased a few days before its official announcement, at Spaceworld ‘99.

Speaking of SpaceWorld, this is what is going to help us answer a lot of questions. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to find documentation about the 2001 event. The 2000 event was better preserved, though.

Spaceworld 2000 took place August 24 through 26 2000. [https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/08/24/game-boy-advance-its-finally-unveiled This was when the GBA was officially unveiled, with its design showcased as well as a selection of games.] (Linked is another IGN article cited on the GBA Wikipedia article.) (NOTE: Due to time zones, it could be said that the unveiling was on the 23rd rather than 24th. Note the IGN article date.) Due to when Spaceworld 2000 took place and the reveals of several GBA games there (more details on that momentarily), if Magical Vacation was the first announced GBA game, it had to have been before Spaceworld 2000, meaning that the September 2000 claim is incorrect. But where did the September part come from? On the series article, [https://web.archive.org/web/20121103034508/https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/30/beware-of-hitchhiking-brownies yet another IGN article] is cited. I think the confusion came from the date of the article, which indeed was published towards the end of September 2000. Assuming the claim came from something logical and wasn’t a massive messup from the IGN writer, the “first announced” mention appears to be in retrospect, and happened way before the article was written.

Now, Spaceworld 2000. What games were shown there?

Luckily for us, someone on Archive uploaded the guidebooks for Spaceworld ‘99, 2000, and 2001. They can be found [https://archive.org/details/NintendoSpaceworldGuidebooks/Nintendo%20Space%20World%202000%20Official%20Guide%20Book/mode/1up here]. (To see them in better, non-artifacted quality, [https://ia800200.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/34/items/NintendoSpaceworldGuidebooks/Nintendo%20Space%20World%2099%20Official%20Guide%20Book.cbr here] [https://ia800200.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/34/items/NintendoSpaceworldGuidebooks/Nintendo%20Space%20World%202000%20Official%20Guide%20Book.cbr are] [https://ia600200.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/34/items/NintendoSpaceworldGuidebooks/Nintendo%20Spaceworld%202001%20Official%20Guidebook.cbr some] quick links.)

First off, I want to mention that, yes, Magical Vacation was shown at the 2001 show! The 2001 guidebook has a page (labeled as page 26, in actuality page 24) dedicated to the game with artwork of the protagonists and some screenshots shown, and it also confirms that the finalized release date was shown at Spaceworld 2001 as well.

Now we must ask, “Was Magical Vacation shown or mentioned at Spaceworld 2000?”

Well, in terms of the guidebook, coverage of the GBA begins on page 28. Games given their own page or half of a page include Mario Kart Advance (Mario Kart: Super Circuit), Ōgon no Taiyō (Golden Sun), Kuru Kuru Kururin, and Napoleon (the latter two share a page). On page 47 and 48, ten GBA games are shown, the aforementioned four plus six others. None of these appear to be MV, and Brownie Brown’s name does not appear in the copyright notices at the bottom of the pages.

One last thing. On page 29 there is a huge gathering of tiny screenshots of future GBA games. I don’t think any of these are MV, but perhaps I’m mistaken. Anyone is allowed to check.

Now, just because MV wasn’t in the guidebook, doesn’t mean it wasn’t at Spaceworld 2000 at all. The September 2000 IGN article mentions that the game was talked about there. So it‘s probably safe to assume it was there in some form. But it’s something that more research would have to be conducted on. There’s a few Spaceworld 2000 related videos on YouTube that might help (but maybe not).

Now, I want to bring up a different but related question. When was Brownie Brown founded? Both the Wikipedia article and the article on here (Kovopedia) say June 30, 2000, but there is no citation for this.

I believe this is another instance of confusion and misinterpretating an articles words. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120320074233/http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q4-2000/110300a.html This] article is used as a citation on the Magical Vacation article for something completely unrelated (the Mobile Adaptor GB thing), but it opens with this sentence…

''On June 30th, Brownie Brown, a team consisting largely of former Square employees, announced their first title, which is in development for the Game Boy Advance. This game, Magical Vacation, was…''

Someone assumed (probably many, many years ago on Wikipedia or something) this meant Brownie Brown was founded on June 30, 2000, which I doubt is the case.

But, guess what? This article gives an exact date for when Magical Vacation was announced. June 30. (Or possibly June 29 or July 1 due to time zone confusion.) Now, this is only one article, and it was made in November 2000, after Spaceworld took place. It would be our best interest to find more articles backing up the June 30 (or 29 or July 1 as previously mentioned) date. Also, even if this date is correct, it does not confirm that MV was the first ever GBA game announced. Still, it’s a start, and process of elimination is key here.

Finally, here is a potentially great resource: [https://web.archive.org/web/20001109091800/http://www.br2.co.jp/ Brownie Brown’s old website, specifically the home page]. Unfortunately, the Japanese text of the original Japanese version is completely broken (but not the links embedded, and any Latin Alphabet text and numbers are fine). The English site is intact though. The Japanese and English sites appear to differ in content in some spots so the Japanese site is still worth looking through. The [https://web.archive.org/web/20010212141229/http://www.br2.co.jp/what.html What’s] [https://web.archive.org/web/20010129130800/http://www.br2.co.jp/what_e.html New] pages state the site opened on September 8, 2000. This lines up with the September 29 2000 IGN article which promotes Brownie Brown’s site.

BONUS: [https://web.archive.org/web/20010211105716/http://www.br2.co.jp/magical.html This] [https://web.archive.org/web/20010212143139/http://www.br2.co.jp/magical_e.html page] featuring Magical Vacation info (added to Brownie Brown’s website on January 23 2001 according to the Japanese version of the What’s New section) states that Magical Vacation (styled as MAGICALVACATION on the page) was a tentative (working) title. As we all know, they ended up sticking with it for the final release, which makes me wonder about the ‘Magic Summer Vacation’ claim in the MV article that lacks a citation.

Also, notice how the release date on the page (at least on the English version) is TBA. Magical Vacation’s possible delays is another topic I want to do research on at some point. The September 2000 IGN article states a Spring 2001 release window, and the RPGamer article from just a little over a month later says Summer 2001.

That is all. Sorry for this talk page being formatted all wrong. What Magicwindsock told me made me believe the talk page would be created properly on its own. Anyways, this took over two hours to type up, so I hope it’s helpful! [[User:MarsAdept|MarsAdept]] ([[User talk:MarsAdept|talk]]) 08:15, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
:There's a lot to respond to, and those lines should definitely have specific citations. 1-Up Studio's website says that they were created on that date, just need to have that cited. As for MV, that article is good enough if there is nothing to contradict it. You could try digging through Brownie Brown's old website on archive, although no guarantees as to the mileage of that. [[File:Kovopedia Icon.png|20px|link=]] '''[[User:Rman41|Rman41]]''' ('''[[User talk:Rman41|talk]]''') 09:03, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Good news. I cracked the mystery, at least mostly. I looked through a large amount of IGN articles. There were so many that I’m only going to link the ones particularly crucial to the questions I was trying to answer.

*Was MV the first GBA game announced?
*When was MV announced?
*When was Brownie Brown founded?
*Was MV shown at Spaceworld 2000?

First off, the first public screenshots of GBA games popped up roughly two weeks before Spaceworld. [https://web.archive.org/web/20000815080216/http://pocket.ign.com/news/23296.html See] [https://web.archive.org/web/20000815100431/http://pocket.ign.com/news/23313.html them] [https://web.archive.org/web/20000815053406/http://pocket.ign.com/news/23432.html here]. Also, the signature four Spaceworld 2000 GBA games (Mario Kart, Golden Sun, Kururin, Napoleon) were all mentioned by name in [https://web.archive.org/web/20000815232712/http://pocket.ign.com/news/22767.html this] July 27 2000 article, although Golden Sun is mistitled. I don’t know why that is, but the August articles have it with the correct title.

Anyways, I’m glad I kept going further back in 2000 after I disappointedly couldn’t find anything from around June 30. Because I found this.

[https://web.archive.org/web/20000815230427/http://pocket.ign.com/news/20579.html This] article is dated June 7 2000. It is about the founding of Brownie Brown. There is a lot of great info here, but the main points are:

*Brownie Brown’s founding was announced ahead of time. In addition, this confirms the June 30 date.
*This was the day Magical Vacation was first announced. Mentions of the title being tentative, the network-compatibility, and the Spring 2001 release window are all here too.

So two questions have been answered. Brownie Brown was founded on June 30 2000, and Magical Vacation was announced on June 7.

But that still doesn’t answer if Magical Vacation was the first GBA game announced. And unfortunately I wasn’t able to find clear cut answers but evidence points to no.

[https://web.archive.org/web/20000815232338/http://pocket.ign.com/news/16866.html Here] [https://web.archive.org/web/20010619021451/http://pocket.ign.com/news/20047.html are] articles from March 21 and May 25 2000 respectively discussing a new RPG title for the GBA. These both were definitely referring to Golden Sun, which was developed by CAMELOT, the team mentioned in both articles. The March article states the game will have a ‘3D feel’ - Golden Sun has pre-rendered 3D graphics.

This predates Magical Vacation’s announcement. However, the [https://web.archive.org/web/20121103034508/https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/30/beware-of-hitchhiking-brownies September 2000 IGN article] states that MV was the first GBA game to be '''officially ''' announced.

We can never figure out for certain what they meant by this. My assumption is that they meant announced with a title attached.

Notice how the two articles about CAMELOT’s GBA RPG don’t give the game a name. In fact, the May 2000 article suggests that they have a title but couldn’t say it yet due to NDAs. The July 2000 article gives a title for the game plus three others. They were all shown in depth at Spaceworld just under a month later.

So Magical Vacation wasn’t the first GBA game announced, but it’s possible it was the first announced '''by name '''. Do what you want with this info. I personally find it confusing and just think MV shouldn’t be considered the first announced GBA game.

As for the last question, game development takes a long time so it almost definitely wasn’t shown at Spaceworld 2000. However, I believe there’s a good chance it was still '''talked about ''' at the event. It would be a lot harder to find info on that than games that had screenshots and footage at the event, though.

In conclusion, I believe the June 7 2000 article could be a good citation to use on both the Brownie Brown and Magical Vacation (game) articles. But one book doesn’t contain all the answers, so I wish to find more websites I could use as sources. Unfortunately, my attempts with Gamespot were a bust, and I’m stumped as where else to look. But I’ll keep trying! This took me a long time to type up again, but only about an hour this time. At least I found some answers! [[User:MarsAdept|MarsAdept]] ([[User talk:MarsAdept|talk]]) 05:15, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
:Good work. We definitely should be using that citation, so I'm glad you found it. I agree that this all seems to dispute the idea that Magical Vacation was the first Game Boy Advance game announced, however I think it is also clear that IGN *had* to mean something when saying it was. I am inclined to believe it would not be speculatory to say that Magical Vacation *was* the first Game Boy Advance game to be announced with a title, that has to be what they meant. And that makes sense, because usually tentative games that didn't have titles were not considered "announced" back then, I recall that anomaly when digging through Nintendo Power of that time. We should probably change it to that. [[File:Kovopedia Icon.png|20px|link=]] '''[[User:Rman41|Rman41]]''' ('''[[User talk:Rman41|talk]]''') 05:29, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

I was looking at the articles for both the game and series and I’m not sure how I’d reword the article while both adding the new source and maintaining the preexisting one (AKA not removing it) so I’d appreciate help on that. I think I’ll get to including the article on the Brownie Brown page right away though since that’s simpler.

Also, I’m glad you mentioned Nintendo Power because that reminds me that we could also look through old magazines as potential sources. [[User:MarsAdept|MarsAdept]] ([[User talk:MarsAdept|talk]]) 05:51, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Brownies are rather lazy, and tend to spend their time relaxing. Occaisionally during sleep, their souls will leave their body.
==Lore==
Legend has it that Brownies have created the universe.

The brownies are belived to have participated in a massive war taking place more than 300 years before Magical Vacation.

'''''Magical Vacation'''''<ref name="MV" group="lower-alpha">{{JP|マジカルバケーション|Majikaru Bakēshon}}</ref> is a self-proclaimed "communication role-playing game" developed by [[1-UP Studio|Brownie Brown]] (presently 1-UP Studio) as their first original game. It was released for the [[wikipedia:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] on December 7, 2001 in Japan, and has never been released outside of the country. It is the first title in the [[Magical Vacation (series)|''Magical Vacation'' duology]] and the prequel to ''[[Magical Starsign]]'' on the [[wikipedia:Nintendo DS|DS]]. The game was also ported to the [[wikipedia:Wii U|Wii U]] [[wikipedia:Virtual Console|Virtual Console]] in 2015, but still remained Japan-exclusive.

''Magical Vacation'' features vibrant and unique character designs from [[Shinichi Kameoka]], whose previous artistic works include various titles in the [[wikipedia:Mana (series)|''Mana'' series]] and ''[[wikipedia:SaGa Frontier|SaGa Frontier]]''. The game's soundtrack was written by early [[wikipedia:Megami Tensei|''Megami Tensei'' series]] composer [[Tsukasa Masuko]].

==Plot==

===Setting and characters===
''Magical Vacation'''s plot and setting exhibit fantasy traits from other games in the classic RPG genre, blending fantastical aesthetics with modernistic and industrial ones. The world of [[Kovomaka]] is made up of infinite elemental [[:Category:Realms|planes]] of existence (known as "realms" in the English fan translation), all of which overlap the same physical space in their own self-contained dimensions. Each realm is drastically different from one another, as their landscapes are reflective of the element or concept they represent. The only way to shift between realms is by slipping through a natural disturbance in reality, using realm-shifting technology, or by mastering [[Warp magic|warp magic]]. In the game, the realms of [[Material Realm|Material]], [[Light Realm|Light]], [[Dark Realm|Darkness]], and [[Abyssal Realm|Death]] are explored. Other realms such as [[Water Realm|Water]], [[Fire Realm|Fire]], and [[Wind Realm|Wind]] are mentioned occasionally, though none of them can be accessed in-game.

The story follows a group of [[Party (Magical Vacation)|sixteen students]] who attend [[Will-o'-Wisp Academy]]; a royal school in the [[Kingdom of Kovomaka]] where youths are trained to master their magical talents. Over the summer, they are sent out to the [[Valencia Beach|Valencia Beach Seaside School]] with their teacher chaperone, Miss [[Madeleine]]. Players assume the role of a silent [[Protagonist (Magical Vacation)|protagonist]], whose gender and [[Spirits|elemental spirit]] are chosen at the start of the game. Thirteen of the sixteen elements are available to begin with, while the remaining three ([[Charity|love]], [[Inky|darkness]], and [[Holy|light]]) are unlocked through [[Link Mode]], the game's multiplayer feature.

===Backstory===
Once in the Magic Kingdom of Kovomaka, a destructive war broke out, and records of it were eventually lost to history. Countless swordsmen and wizards alike were killed, and the nation was dealt a heavy blow. Despite there having been a war, information such as who was being fought against was kept secret from the public, who were only told that thousands of soldiers had died because of accidents involving magical experiments. The battle lasted for three days and a long peace followed, but one man continued to circle the globe in preparation for future conflicts.

Many years later, the protagonist is introduced. Raised in a village on the kingdom's edge, they were born with the ability to communicate with elemental spirits hiding inside artifacts of nature. Unfortunately, others did not see their magic aptitude as a blessing and became fearful of what it could bring. The child was shunned by the townspeople and labelled a misfit. One day, the child encountered Principal [[Biscotti]], who was said to have brought the power of magic to the kingdom. Biscotti asked the child asked if they liked spirits, to which a multitude of them appeared behind the great sorcerer. Thrilled to meet someone who could also see spirits, the child answered yes. Biscotti then invited them to enroll in his school of magic with the promise of meeting even more spirits, and the two departed for Will-o'-Wisp Academy.

==Gameplay==

===Battle system===
{{Main|Combat (Magical Vacation)}}
The combat of ''Magical Vacation'' is turn-based and relies heavily on its [[Combat (Magical Vacation)#Spirits|spirit combo]] system, wherein the damage output of magic attacks is amplified by spirits that have been called to the field. Characters can add [[stickers]] to their [[Equipment (Magical Vacation)|equipment]] as well, which improves their resistance to magic attacks and increases the growth of their own magic.

===Link Mode===
{{Main|Link Mode}}
Link Mode allows two players to connect their own copies of the game and engage in three different activities. Let's Amigo registers linked players to each other's Amigo lists, Let's Hot Spring offers upgrades to the Protagonist's stats, and Let's Battle lets both players' parties fight to earn stat-boosting [[Rank|ranks]].

==Development and promotion==
Shortly after Brownie Brown Co., Ltd. was established on June 30, 2000,<ref>{{Cite Web |first=1-UP Studio Inc. |date=undated |website=[[wikipedia:1-Up Studio|1-Up Studio]] |url=https://1-up-studio.jp/company/outline.html |title=Company Outline |access-date=January 21, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230121092445/https://1-up-studio.jp/company/outline.html |archive-date=January 21, 2023}}</ref> its staff declared their attentive development of ''Magical Vacation''. This made it the first-ever title to be announced for the Game Boy Advance, which would soon be released in March 2001. Early interviews suggest that the game was planned to be compatible with the [https://niwanetwork.org/wiki/Mobile_Game_Boy_Adapter Mobile Adapter GB] accessory, though the final release never utilized such a feature.<ref>{{Cite Web |last=Long |first=Andrew |date=November 3, 2000 |website=RPGamer |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320074233/http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q4-2000/110300a.html |title=Brownie Brown President Talks About Name, Game |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Web |first=IGN Staff |date=September 29, 2000 |website=[[wikipedia:IGN|IGN]] |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/30/beware-of-hitchhiking-brownies |title=Beware of Hitchhiking Brownies |access-date=January 17, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103034508/https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/30/beware-of-hitchhiking-brownies |archive-date=November 3, 2012}}</ref> It was also later revealed by Brownie Brown's CEO at the time, Shinichi Kameoka, that the game's working title was ''Magic Summer Vacation''.<ref name="MNN" group="lower-alpha">{{JP|魔法の夏休み|Mahō no Natsuyasumi}}</ref>{{cite}}

In early August 2001, Brownie Brown staff made a post on their own message board in response to positive fan reception, thanking onlookers for their support during ''Magical Vacation'''s development. The post stated that an official trailer for ''Magical Vacation'', plus a live demo of the game, would be featured at the upcoming Tokyo Nintendo Space World event.<ref>{{Cite Web |last=Metts |first=Jonathan |date=August 25, 2001 |website=Nintendo World Report |url=https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/6392/brownie-brown-confirms-gc-development |title=Brownie Brown Confirms GC Development |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref> During Nintendo Space World, gameplay of ''Magical Vacation'' was presented in a thirty-second-long trailer with the planned release date being December 7. Journalists were quick to praise its detailed environments and visual homages to 16-bit console RPGs, as well as its evident ''Mana'' series heritage. Hopeful for an overseas release, they assumed the game would not leave Japan until 2002, but their anticipation was in vain.<ref>{{Cite Web |last=Harris |first=Craig |date=August 23, 2001 |website=[[wikipedia:IGN|IGN]] |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/08/23/spaceworld-2001-magical-vacation-video |title=Spaceworld 2001: Magical Vacation |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref>

The first [[commercials]] to advertise ''Magical Vacation'' featured Japanese singer, model, and actress [[wikipedia:Mika Nakashima|Mika Nakashima]]. In the commercials, Nakashima runs to the shore of a beach at sunset and cries out a promise to save her friends, in reference to the game's events, followed by the slogan, "最も強い武器は友情だ" (The most powerful weapon is friendship).<ref>{{Cite YouTube |account=83Chrisaaron |title=Magical Vacation (Mika Nakashima) (Long) Japanese Commercial |id=UIYg_Go6dTA |date=December 26, 2020 |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref>

===Let's Amigo Events===
{{Main|Let's Amigo Events}}

Two events were held shortly after ''Magical Vacation's'' release in Japan. They would act as large get-togethers for owners of the game, who could meet up and use the game's communication features to unlock special content in their own save files. Casual fans, superfans, cosplayers, and Brownie Brown staff alike appeared for both venues. The first venue was held in Osaka on January 26, 2002, with around three hundred participating players. The second one took place in Tokyo on January 27, with a much higher turnout of around nine hundred players.

==Reception==
''Magical Vacation'' became an instant cult classic among Japanese RPG fans following its release. In the June 2006 issue of ''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Dream|Nintendo Dream]]'', the game was reported to have sold over 270, 000 units exclusively within the country's borders.<ref>''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Dream|Nintendo Dream]]'' June 2006, page 27</ref>

''[[wikipedia:Famitsu|Famitsu]]'' magazine gave ''Magical Vacation'' a platinum score of 35 on release, commending it for its unique battle system, varied and interesting characters, and excellent graphics. However, their feelings were mixed on the complex layouts of dungeons, lack of multiple save slots, and the game's dark storyline.{{cite}}

==Legacy==

===''Sword of Mana''===
[[File:Sword of Mana - MV Reference.png|thumb|right]]
''Sword of Mana'' is a 2003 action RPG codeveloped by Square Enix and Brownie Brown for the Game Boy Advance, and is the fifth release in the ''Seiken Densetsu'' series. Shinichi Kameoka was involved with this game as its character designer. In the heroine's route, she visits a boy in the town of Topple and offers to help him find his missing book. By retrieving the book and returning it to the boy, he will reveal that it is titled ''Magical Vacation'', describing it as a story where students fight with various magic elements. Like ''Magical Vacation'', ''Sword of Mana'' has both a communication feature and an Amigo list, the latter of which unlocks additional content in either players' copies of the game. Curiously enough, in the Japanese version, the boy refers to the book as ''Magic Summer Vacation'', a nod to ''Magical Vacation'''s working title.

===''Super Smash Bros.''===
Characters from ''Magical Vacation'' appear in the ''[[wikipedia:Super_Smash_Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series as collectibles. In ''[[wikipedia:Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Latte (as Mokka), a traveling putty, and a pyrite appear as trophies.<ref>[https://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_SSBB_trophies_(Others) List of SSBB trophies (Others) - SmashWiki].</ref> Additionally, the male and female heroes, Kirsche (spelled as Kirsh), an HP pot, a sparrow, and a traveling putty can be collected as stat-buffing stickers.<ref>[https://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_stickers_(Others) List of stickers (Others) - SmashWiki]</ref>

===''EGGLIA'' series===
''EGGLIA: Legend of the Redcap'' is a role-playing simulation game developed by Brownies for iOS and Android devices. It was released in Japan on April 30, 2017, but its servers were shut down on August 30, 2018, with the game subsequently being retitled to ''EGGLIA: Offline''. In February of 2022, Brownies released an enhanced port of the game for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch]], naming it ''EGGLIA Rebirth''.

Many elements of ''EGGLIA'' can be considered direct callbacks to ''Magical Vacation'', and even Shinichi Kameoka's history with game production as a whole. Some notable examples of these callbacks include, but are not limited to: a new type of [[Pooka (Magical Vacation)|pooka]] [[enigma]], a [[Canin|wolks]] with pants for a hat, and recruitable elemental spirits.

==English fan-translation==
On June 7, 2016, romhacking.net user "magicalpatcher" released an English patch that could be applied to emulated versions of ''Magical Vacation''. For the first time ever, English audiences were able to play the game in their language, whether they were newcomers or fans of ''Magical Starsign''. The patch makes several changes to the names of characters, spells, and locations, some which are consistent with the English localization of ''Magical Starsign'' (such as Gran Dragée being renamed to Biscotti).

While this English fan-translation is playable from beginning to end, it does suffer from minor technical errors. There are some pieces of dialogue that have been skewed due to mistranslation or typos, graphical glitches, instances of dialogue being left untranslated, dialogue-induced softlocking, and the absence of translated credits/post-credits scenes. The most recent update for the English patch was released on September 23, 2019, meaning it is unlikely that these errors will ever be revised.

Talk:Magical Vacation

2023-01-21T08:15:19Z

MarsAdept: Starting the talk page with something big!

==When was Magical Vacation announced? (Plus other questions.)==

(This concerns both the article for the first game and the one for the series as a whole, but for simplicity’s sake it will go on the talk page for the game.)

So it seems like there’s some fuzzy details behind Magical Vacation’s development period. Something that caught me off guard was on the series article states that Magical Vacation was the first ever GBA game announced in September 2000. This sentence was actually what prompted me to join the wiki.

Now, “MV was the first GBA game announced” and “MV was first announced [to the public] in September 2000” are two individual claims that can be questioned later. However, when put together, the claim is contradictory and completely wrong.

Confusingly, it seems like the first announcement of the GBA itself and the first announcement of games for the system took place separately. Wikipedia cites [https://web.archive.org/web/19991127212154/https://pocket.ign.com/news/10064.html this] article as when the GBA was first announced. Note how I said announced and not unveiled. The showcase of the actual system would not be until much later it seems. [https://web.archive.org/web/20000815195705/http://pocket.ign.com/news/9942.html Another] IGN article was also cited. This one is from a few days earlier and it seems like the GBA was teased a few days before its official announcement, at Spaceworld ‘99.

Speaking of SpaceWorld, this is what is going to help us answer a lot of questions. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to find documentation about the 2001 event. The 2000 event was better preserved, though.

Spaceworld 2000 took place August 24 through 26 2000. [https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/08/24/game-boy-advance-its-finally-unveiled This was when the GBA was officially unveiled, with its design showcased as well as a selection of games.] (Linked is another IGN article cited on the GBA Wikipedia article.) (NOTE: Due to time zones, it could be said that the unveiling was on the 23rd rather than 24th. Note the IGN article date.) Due to when Spaceworld 2000 took place and the reveals of several GBA games there (more details on that momentarily), if Magical Vacation was the first announced GBA game, it had to have been before Spaceworld 2000, meaning that the September 2000 claim is incorrect. But where did the September part come from? On the series article, [https://web.archive.org/web/20121103034508/https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/30/beware-of-hitchhiking-brownies yet another IGN article] is cited. I think the confusion came from the date of the article, which indeed was published towards the end of September 2000. Assuming the claim came from something logical and wasn’t a massive messup from the IGN writer, the “first announced” mention appears to be in retrospect, and happened way before the article was written.

Now, Spaceworld 2000. What games were shown there?

Luckily for us, someone on Archive uploaded the guidebooks for Spaceworld ‘99, 2000, and 2001. They can be found [https://archive.org/details/NintendoSpaceworldGuidebooks/Nintendo%20Space%20World%202000%20Official%20Guide%20Book/mode/1up here]. (To see them in better, non-artifacted quality, [https://ia800200.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/34/items/NintendoSpaceworldGuidebooks/Nintendo%20Space%20World%2099%20Official%20Guide%20Book.cbr here] [https://ia800200.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/34/items/NintendoSpaceworldGuidebooks/Nintendo%20Space%20World%202000%20Official%20Guide%20Book.cbr are] [https://ia600200.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/34/items/NintendoSpaceworldGuidebooks/Nintendo%20Spaceworld%202001%20Official%20Guidebook.cbr some] quick links.)

First off, I want to mention that, yes, Magical Vacation was shown at the 2001 show! The 2001 guidebook has a page (labeled as page 26, in actuality page 24) dedicated to the game with artwork of the protagonists and some screenshots shown, and it also confirms that the finalized release date was shown at Spaceworld 2001 as well.

Now we must ask, “Was Magical Vacation shown or mentioned at Spaceworld 2000?”

Well, in terms of the guidebook, coverage of the GBA begins on page 28. Games given their own page or half of a page include Mario Kart Advance (Mario Kart: Super Circuit), Ōgon no Taiyō (Golden Sun), Kuru Kuru Kururin, and Napoleon (the latter two share a page). On page 47 and 48, ten GBA games are shown, the aforementioned four plus six others. None of these appear to be MV, and Brownie Brown’s name does not appear in the copyright notices at the bottom of the pages.

One last thing. On page 29 there is a huge gathering of tiny screenshots of future GBA games. I don’t think any of these are MV, but perhaps I’m mistaken. Anyone is allowed to check.

Now, just because MV wasn’t in the guidebook, doesn’t mean it wasn’t at Spaceworld 2000 at all. The September 2000 IGN article mentions that the game was talked about there. So it‘s probably safe to assume it was there in some form. But it’s something that more research would have to be conducted on. There’s a few Spaceworld 2000 related videos on YouTube that might help (but maybe not).

Now, I want to bring up a different but related question. When was Brownie Brown founded? Both the Wikipedia article and the article on here (Kovopedia) say June 30, 2000, but there is no citation for this.

I believe this is another instance of confusion and misinterpretating an articles words. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120320074233/http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q4-2000/110300a.html This] article is used as a citation on the Magical Vacation article for something completely unrelated (the Mobile Adaptor GB thing), but it opens with this sentence…

''On June 30th, Brownie Brown, a team consisting largely of former Square employees, announced their first title, which is in development for the Game Boy Advance. This game, Magical Vacation, was…''

Someone assumed (probably many, many years ago on Wikipedia or something) this meant Brownie Brown was founded on June 30, 2000, which I doubt is the case.

But, guess what? This article gives an exact date for when Magical Vacation was announced. June 30. (Or possibly June 29 or July 1 due to time zone confusion.) Now, this is only one article, and it was made in November 2000, after Spaceworld took place. It would be our best interest to find more articles backing up the June 30 (or 29 or July 1 as previously mentioned) date. Also, even if this date is correct, it does not confirm that MV was the first ever GBA game announced. Still, it’s a start, and process of elimination is key here.

Finally, here is a potentially great resource: [https://web.archive.org/web/20001109091800/http://www.br2.co.jp/ Brownie Brown’s old website, specifically the home page]. Unfortunately, the Japanese text of the original Japanese version is completely broken (but not the links embedded, and any Latin Alphabet text and numbers are fine). The English site is intact though. The Japanese and English sites appear to differ in content in some spots so the Japanese site is still worth looking through. The [https://web.archive.org/web/20010212141229/http://www.br2.co.jp/what.html What’s] [https://web.archive.org/web/20010129130800/http://www.br2.co.jp/what_e.html New] pages state the site opened on September 8, 2000. This lines up with the September 29 2000 IGN article which promotes Brownie Brown’s site.

BONUS: [https://web.archive.org/web/20010211105716/http://www.br2.co.jp/magical.html This] [https://web.archive.org/web/20010212143139/http://www.br2.co.jp/magical_e.html page] featuring Magical Vacation info (added to Brownie Brown’s website on January 23 2001 according to the Japanese version of the What’s New section) states that Magical Vacation (styled as MAGICALVACATION on the page) was a tentative (working) title. As we all know, they ended up sticking with it for the final release, which makes me wonder about the ‘Magic Summer Vacation’ claim in the MV article that lacks a citation.

Also, notice how the release date on the page (at least on the English version) is TBA. Magical Vacation’s possible delays is another topic I want to do research on at some point. The September 2000 IGN article states a Spring 2001 release window, and the RPGamer article from just a little over a month later says Summer 2001.

That is all. Sorry for this talk page being formatted all wrong. What Magicwindsock told me made me believe the talk page would be created properly on its own. Anyways, this took over two hours to type up, so I hope it’s helpful! [[User:MarsAdept|MarsAdept]] ([[User talk:MarsAdept|talk]]) 08:15, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

==Citations==
I saw you have this as one of your priorities, so I will give some advice that should help you along this process. The way references work in MediaWiki is that they have what is called a tag. A tag is any marker in the text that is enclosed in <>. Each tag has an opening and a closing tag to form the 'object'. That's way more complicated than you really need to know though.

Basically, a reference is as simple as putting text in the phrase <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki>. We also have templates that can auto generate reference text within the references, so if you wanted to generate a link to Magical Starsign within references, you would put <nowiki><ref>{{Cite Media|MS}}</ref></nowiki>, which would give ''[[Magical Starsign]]'' in references.

The reference tag can also be labeled so that it can be used in multiple places in an article. So, for instance, with that reference before, we could say <nowiki><ref name="MS">{{Cite Media|MS}}</ref></nowiki>, which would allow us to put <nowiki><ref name="MS"/></nowiki> somewhere else in an article and have it link to the same reference.

With footnotes, the only different is that they are assigned to a different group. If for whatever reason I wanted to put the Magical Starsign reference in the Notes section, all I would have to do is again change the ref tag by putting <nowiki><ref name="MS" group="lower-alpha">{{Cite Media|MS}}</ref></nowiki>, which would put the reference in the "lower-alpha" group AKA the notelist group. Like before, we can put that tag in multiple places by putting <nowiki><ref name="MS" group="lower-alpha"/></nowiki> somewhere else in the article.

'''''Magical Vacation'''''<ref name="MV" group="lower-alpha">{{JP|マジカルバケーション|Majikaru Bakēshon}}</ref> is a self-proclaimed "communication role-playing game" developed by [[1-UP Studio|Brownie Brown]] (presently 1-UP Studio) as their first original game. It was released for the [[wikipedia:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] on December 7, 2001 in Japan, and has never been released outside of the country. It is the first title in the [[Magical Vacation (series)|''Magical Vacation'' duology]] and the prequel to ''[[Magical Starsign]]'' on the [[wikipedia:Nintendo DS|DS]]. The game was also ported to the [[wikipedia:Wii U|Wii U]] [[wikipedia:Virtual Console|Virtual Console]] in 2015, but still remained Japan-exclusive.

''Magical Vacation'' features vibrant and unique character designs from [[Shinichi Kameoka]], whose previous artistic works include various titles in the [[wikipedia:Mana (series)|''Mana'' series]] and ''[[wikipedia:SaGa Frontier|SaGa Frontier]]''. The game's soundtrack was written by early [[wikipedia:Megami Tensei|''Megami Tensei'' series]] composer [[Tsukasa Masuko]].

==Plot==

===Setting and characters===
''Magical Vacation'''s plot and setting exhibit fantasy traits from other games in the classic RPG genre, blending fantastical aesthetics with modernistic and industrial ones. The world of [[Kovomaka]] is made up of infinite elemental [[:Category:Realms|planes]] of existence (known as "realms" in the English fan translation), all of which overlap the same physical space in their own self-contained dimensions. Each realm is drastically different from one another, as their landscapes are reflective of the element or concept they represent. The only way to shift between realms is by slipping through a natural disturbance in reality, using realm-shifting technology, or by mastering [[Warp magic|warp magic]]. In the game, the realms of [[Material Realm|Material]], [[Light Realm|Light]], [[Dark Realm|Darkness]], and [[Abyssal Realm|Death]] are explored. Other realms such as [[Water Realm|Water]], [[Fire Realm|Fire]], and [[Wind Realm|Wind]] are mentioned occasionally, though none of them can be accessed in-game.

The story follows a group of [[Party (Magical Vacation)|sixteen students]] who attend [[Will-o'-Wisp Academy]]; a royal school in the [[Kingdom of Kovomaka]] where youths are trained to master their magical talents. Over the summer, they are sent out to the [[Valencia Beach|Valencia Beach Seaside School]] with their teacher chaperone, Miss [[Madeleine]]. Players assume the role of a silent [[Protagonist (Magical Vacation)|protagonist]], whose gender and [[Spirits|elemental spirit]] are chosen at the start of the game. Thirteen of the sixteen elements are available to begin with, while the remaining three ([[Charity|love]], [[Inky|darkness]], and [[Holy|light]]) are unlocked through [[Link Mode]], the game's multiplayer feature.

===Backstory===
Once in the Magic Kingdom of Kovomaka, a destructive war broke out, and records of it were eventually lost to history. Countless swordsmen and wizards alike were killed, and the nation was dealt a heavy blow. Despite there having been a war, information such as who was being fought against was kept secret from the public, who were only told that thousands of soldiers had died because of accidents involving magical experiments. The battle lasted for three days and a long peace followed, but one man continued to circle the globe in preparation for future conflicts.

Many years later, the protagonist is introduced. Raised in a village on the kingdom's edge, they were born with the ability to communicate with elemental spirits hiding inside artifacts of nature. Unfortunately, others did not see their magic aptitude as a blessing and became fearful of what it could bring. The child was shunned by the townspeople and labelled a misfit.

One day, the child encountered Principal [[Biscotti]], who was said to have brought the power of magic to the kingdom. Biscotti asked the child asked if they liked spirits, to which a multitude of them appeared behind the great sorcerer. Thrilled to meet someone who could also see spirits, the child answered yes. Biscotti then invited them to enroll in his school of magic with the promise of meeting even more spirits, and the two departed for Will-o'-Wisp Academy.

==Gameplay==

===Battle system===
{{Main|Combat (Magical Vacation)}}
The combat of ''Magical Vacation'' is turn-based and relies heavily on its [[Combat (Magical Vacation)#Spirits|spirit combo]] system, wherein the damage output of magic attacks is amplified by spirits that have been called to the field. Characters can add [[stickers]] to their [[Equipment (Magical Vacation)|equipment]] as well, which improves their resistance to magic attacks and increases the growth of their own magic.

===Link Mode===
{{Main|Link Mode}}
Link Mode allows two players to connect their own copies of the game and engage in three different activities. Let's Amigo registers linked players to each other's Amigo lists, Let's Hot Spring offers upgrades to the Protagonist's stats, and Let's Battle lets both players' parties fight to earn stat-boosting [[Rank|ranks]].

==Development and promotion==
Shortly after Brownie Brown Co., Ltd. was established on June 30, 2000, its staff declared their attentive development of ''Magical Vacation''. This made it the first-ever title to be announced for the Game Boy Advance, which would soon be released in March 2001. Early interviews suggest that the game was planned to be compatible with the ''Mobile Adapter GB'' accessory, though the final release never utilized such a feature.<ref>{{Cite Web |last=Long |first=Andrew |date=November 3, 2000 |website=RPGamer |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320074233/http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q4-2000/110300a.html |title=Brownie Brown President Talks Name, Game |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Web |first=IGN Staff |date=September 29, 2000 |website=[[wikipedia:IGN|IGN]] |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/30/beware-of-hitchhiking-brownies |title=Beware of Hitchhiking Brownies |access-date=January 17, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103034508/https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/30/beware-of-hitchhiking-brownies |archive-date=November 3, 2012}}</ref> It was also later revealed by Brownie Brown's CEO at the time, Shinichi Kameoka, that the game's working title was ''Magic Summer Vacation''.<ref name="MNN" group="lower-alpha">{{JP|魔法の夏休み|Mahō no Natsuyasumi}}</ref>{{cite}}

In early August 2001, Brownie Brown staff made a post on their own message board in response to positive fan reception, thanking onlookers for their support during ''Magical Vacation'''s development. The post stated that an official trailer for ''Magical Vacation'', plus a live demo of the game, would be featured at the upcoming Nintendo Space World event in Japan.<ref>{{Cite Web |last=Metts |first=Jonathan |date=August 25, 2001 |website=Nintendo World Report |url=https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/6392/brownie-brown-confirms-gc-development |title=Brownie Brown Confirms GC Development |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref>

Gameplay of ''Magical Vacation'' was first revealed for the Game Boy Advance around August 24, 2001, at Nintendo Space World in Tokyo, Japan. It was presented in a thirty-second-long trailer with the planned release date being December 7. Journalists were quick to praise its detailed environments and visual homages to 16-bit console RPGs, as well as its evident ''Mana'' series heritage. Hopeful for an overseas release, they assumed the game would not leave Japan until 2002, but their anticipation was in vain.<ref>{{Cite Web |last=Harris |first=Craig |date=August 23, 2001 |website=[[wikipedia:IGN|IGN]] |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/08/23/spaceworld-2001-magical-vacation-video |title=Spaceworld 2001: Magical Vacation |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref>

The first [[commercials]] to advertise ''Magical Vacation'' featured Japanese singer, model, and actress [[wikipedia:Mika Nakashima|Mika Nakashima]]. In the commercials, Nakashima runs to the shore of a beach at sunset and cries out a promise to save her friends, in reference to the game's events, followed by the slogan, "最も強い武器は友情だ" (The most powerful weapon is friendship.).<ref>{{Cite YouTube |account=83Chrisaaron |title=Magical Vacation (Mika Nakashima) (Long) Japanese Commercial |id=UIYg_Go6dTA |date=December 26, 2020 |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref>

===Let's Amigo Events===
{{Main|Let's Amigo Events}}

Two events were held shortly after ''Magical Vacation's'' release in Japan. They would act as large get-togethers for owners of the game, who could meet up and use the game's communication features to unlock special content in their own save files. Casual fans, superfans, cosplayers, and Brownie Brown staff alike appeared for both venues. The first venue was held in Osaka on January 26, 2002, with around 300 participating players. The second one took place in Tokyo on January 27, with a much higher turnout of around 900 players.

==Reception==
''Magical Vacation'' became an instant cult classic among Japanese RPG fans following its release. In the June 2006 issue of ''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Dream|Nintendo Dream]]'', the game was reported to have sold over 270, 000 units exclusively within the country's borders.<ref>''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Dream|Nintendo Dream]]'' June 2006, page 27</ref>

''[[wikipedia:Famitsu|Famitsu]]'' magazine gave ''Magical Vacation'' a platinum score of 35 on release, commending it for its unique battle system, varied and interesting characters, and excellent graphics. However, their feelings were mixed on the complex layouts of dungeons, lack of multiple save slots, and the game's dark storyline.{{cite}}

==Legacy==

===''Sword of Mana''===
[[File:Sword of Mana - MV Reference.png|thumb|right]]
''Sword of Mana'' is a 2003 action RPG codeveloped by Square Enix and Brownie Brown for the Game Boy Advance, and is the fifth release in the ''Seiken Densetsu'' series. Shinichi Kameoka was involved with this game as its character designer. In the heroine's route, she visits a boy in the town of Topple and offers to help him find his missing book. By retrieving the book and returning it to the boy, he will reveal that it is titled ''Magical Vacation'', describing it as a story where students fight with various magic elements. Like ''Magical Vacation'', ''Sword of Mana'' has both a communication feature and an Amigo list, the latter of which unlocks additional content in either players' copies of the game. Curiously enough, in the Japanese version, the boy refers to the book as ''Magic Summer Vacation'', a nod to ''Magical Vacation'''s working title.

===''Super Smash Bros.''===
Characters from ''Magical Vacation'' appear in the ''[[wikipedia:Super_Smash_Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series as collectibles. In ''[[wikipedia:Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Latte (as Mokka), a traveling putty, and a pyrite appear as trophies.<ref>[https://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_SSBB_trophies_(Others) List of SSBB trophies (Others) - SmashWiki].</ref> Additionally, the male and female heroes, Kirsche (spelled as Kirsh), an HP pot, a sparrow, and a traveling putty can be collected as stat-buffing stickers.<ref>[https://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_stickers_(Others) List of stickers (Others) - SmashWiki]</ref>

===''EGGLIA'' series===
''EGGLIA: Legend of the Redcap'' is a role-playing simulation game developed by Brownies for iOS and Android devices. It was released in Japan on April 30, 2017, but its servers were shut down on August 30, 2018, with the game subsequently being retitled to ''EGGLIA: Offline''. In February of 2022, Brownies released an enhanced port of the game for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch]], naming it ''EGGLIA Rebirth''.

Many elements of ''EGGLIA'' can be considered direct callbacks to ''Magical Vacation'', and even Shinichi Kameoka's history with game production as a whole. Some notable examples of these callbacks include, but are not limited to: a new type of [[Pooka (Magical Vacation)|pooka]] [[enigma]], a [[Canin|wolks]] with pants for a hat, and recruitable elemental spirits.

==English fan-translation==
On June 7, 2016, romhacking.net user "magicalpatcher" released an English patch that could be applied to emulated versions of ''Magical Vacation''. For the first time ever, English audiences were able to play the game in their language, whether they were newcomers or fans of ''Magical Starsign''. The patch makes several changes to the names of characters, spells, and locations, some which are consistent with the English localization of ''Magical Starsign'' (such as Gran Dragée being renamed to Biscotti).

While this English fan-translation is playable from beginning to end, it does suffer from minor technical errors. There are some pieces of dialogue that have been skewed due to mistranslation or typos, graphical glitches, instances of dialogue being left untranslated, dialogue-induced softlocking, and the absence of translated credits/post-credits scenes. The most recent update for the English patch was released on September 23, 2019, meaning it is unlikely that these errors will ever be revised.

For the first time ever, English audiences were able to play the game in their language, whether they were newcomers or fans of ''Magical Starsign''. The patch makes several changes to the names of characters, spells, and locations, some which are consistent with the English localization of ''Magical Starsign'' (such as Gran Dragée being renamed to Biscotti).

While this English fan-translation is playable from beginning to end, it does suffer from minor technical errors. There are some pieces of dialogue that have been skewed due to mistranslation or typos, graphical glitches, instances of dialogue being left untranslated, dialogue-induced softlocking, and the absence of translated credits/post-credits scenes. The most recent update for the English patch was released on September 23, 2019, meaning it is unlikely that these errors will ever be revised.

Magical Vacation

MarsAdept: /* Development and promotion */Two changes. First was copying a source from the Magical Vacation (series) page. Second was editing the text to clarify and mention the Mobile Adaptor GB by name. (Note: I’m unsure if it should be in italics as it’s an accessory for the GBC/GBA, not an actual game. Feel free to remove the italics if needed.)

'''''Magical Vacation'''''<ref name="MV" group="lower-alpha">{{JP|マジカルバケーション|Majikaru Bakēshon}}</ref> is a self-proclaimed "communication role-playing game" developed by [[1-UP Studio|Brownie Brown]] (presently 1-UP Studio) as their first original game. It was released for the [[wikipedia:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] on December 7, 2001 in Japan, and has never been released outside of the country. It is the first title in the [[Magical Vacation (series)|''Magical Vacation'' duology]] and the prequel to ''[[Magical Starsign]]'' on the [[wikipedia:Nintendo DS|DS]]. The game was also ported to the [[wikipedia:Wii U|Wii U]] [[wikipedia:Virtual Console|Virtual Console]] in 2015, but still remained Japan-exclusive.

''Magical Vacation'' features vibrant and unique character designs from [[Shinichi Kameoka]], whose previous artistic works include various titles in the [[wikipedia:Mana (series)|''Mana'' series]] and ''[[wikipedia:SaGa Frontier|SaGa Frontier]]''. The game's soundtrack was written by early [[wikipedia:Megami Tensei|''Megami Tensei'' series]] composer [[Tsukasa Masuko]].

==Plot==

===Setting and characters===
''Magical Vacation'''s plot and setting exhibit fantasy traits from other games in the classic RPG genre, blending fantastical aesthetics with modernistic and industrial ones. The world of [[Kovomaka]] is made up of infinite elemental [[:Category:Realms|planes]] of existence (known as "realms" in the English fan translation), all of which overlap the same physical space in their own self-contained dimensions. Each realm is drastically different from one another, as their landscapes are reflective of the element or concept they represent. The only way to shift between realms is by slipping through a natural disturbance in reality, using realm-shifting technology, or by mastering [[Warp magic|warp magic]]. In the game, the realms of [[Material Realm|Material]], [[Light Realm|Light]], [[Dark Realm|Darkness]], and [[Abyssal Realm|Death]] are explored. Other realms such as [[Water Realm|Water]], [[Fire Realm|Fire]], and [[Wind Realm|Wind]] are mentioned occasionally, though none of them can be accessed in-game.

The story follows a group of [[Party (Magical Vacation)|sixteen students]] who attend [[Will-o'-Wisp Academy]]; a royal school in the [[Kingdom of Kovomaka]] where youths are trained to master their magical talents. Over the summer, they are sent out to the [[Valencia Beach|Valencia Beach Seaside School]] with their teacher chaperone, Miss [[Madeleine]]. Players assume the role of a silent [[Protagonist (Magical Vacation)|protagonist]], whose gender and [[Spirits|elemental spirit]] are chosen at the start of the game. Thirteen of the sixteen elements are available to begin with, while the remaining three ([[Charity|love]], [[Inky|darkness]], and [[Holy|light]]) are unlocked through [[Link Mode]], the game's multiplayer feature.

===Backstory===
Once in the Magic Kingdom of Kovomaka, a destructive war broke out, and records of it were eventually lost to history. Countless swordsmen and wizards alike were killed, and the nation was dealt a heavy blow. Despite there having been a war, information such as who was being fought against was kept secret from the public, who were only told that thousands of soldiers had died because of accidents involving magical experiments. The battle lasted for three days and a long peace followed, but one man continued to circle the globe in preparation for future conflicts.

Many years later, the protagonist is introduced. Raised in a village on the kingdom's edge, they were born with the ability to communicate with elemental spirits hiding inside artifacts of nature. Unfortunately, others did not see their magic aptitude as a blessing and became fearful of what it could bring. The child was shunned by the townspeople and labelled a misfit.

One day, the child encountered Principal [[Biscotti]], who was said to have brought the power of magic to the kingdom. Biscotti asked the child asked if they liked spirits, to which a multitude of them appeared behind the great sorcerer. Thrilled to meet someone who could also see spirits, the child answered yes. Biscotti then invited them to enroll in his school of magic with the promise of meeting even more spirits, and the two departed for Will-o'-Wisp Academy.

==Gameplay==

===Battle system===
{{Main|Combat (Magical Vacation)}}
The combat of ''Magical Vacation'' is turn-based and relies heavily on its [[Combat (Magical Vacation)#Spirits|spirit combo]] system, wherein the damage output of magic attacks is amplified by spirits that have been called to the field. Characters can add [[stickers]] to their [[Equipment (Magical Vacation)|equipment]] as well, which improves their resistance to magic attacks and increases the growth of their own magic.

===Link Mode===
{{Main|Link Mode}}
Link Mode allows two players to connect their own copies of the game and engage in three different activities. Let's Amigo registers linked players to each other's Amigo lists, Let's Hot Spring offers upgrades to the Protagonist's stats, and Let's Battle lets both players' parties fight to earn stat-boosting [[Rank|ranks]].

==Development and promotion==
Shortly after Brownie Brown Co., Ltd. was established on June 30, 2000, its staff declared their attentive development of ''Magical Vacation''. This made it the first-ever title to be announced for the Game Boy Advance, which would soon be released in March 2001. Early interviews suggest that the game was planned to be compatible with the ''Mobile Adaptor GB'' accessory, though the final release never utilized such a feature.<ref>{{Cite Web |last=Long |first=Andrew |date=November 3, 2000 |website=RPGamer |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320074233/http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q4-2000/110300a.html |title=Brownie Brown President Talks Name, Game |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Web |first=IGN Staff |date=September 29, 2000 |website=[[wikipedia:IGN|IGN]] |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/30/beware-of-hitchhiking-brownies |title=Beware of Hitchhiking Brownies |access-date=December 6, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103034508/https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/30/beware-of-hitchhiking-brownies |archive-date=November 3, 2012}}</ref> It was also later revealed by Brownie Brown's CEO at the time, Shinichi Kameoka, that the game's working title was ''Magic Summer Vacation''.<ref name="MNN" group="lower-alpha">{{JP|魔法の夏休み|Mahō no Natsuyasumi}}</ref>{{cite}}

In early August 2001, Brownie Brown staff made a post on their own message board in response to positive fan reception, thanking onlookers for their support during ''Magical Vacation'''s development. The post stated that an official trailer for ''Magical Vacation'', plus a live demo of the game, would be featured at the upcoming Nintendo Space World event in Japan.<ref>{{Cite Web |last=Metts |first=Jonathan |date=August 25, 2001 |website=Nintendo World Report |url=https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/6392/brownie-brown-confirms-gc-development |title=Brownie Brown Confirms GC Development |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref>

Gameplay of ''Magical Vacation'' was first revealed for the Game Boy Advance around August 24, 2001, at Nintendo Space World in Tokyo, Japan. It was presented in a thirty-second-long trailer with the planned release date being December 7. Journalists were quick to praise its detailed environments and visual homages to 16-bit console RPGs, as well as its evident ''Mana'' series heritage. Hopeful for an overseas release, they assumed the game would not leave Japan until 2002, but their anticipation was in vain.<ref>{{Cite Web |last=Harris |first=Craig |date=August 23, 2001 |website=[[wikipedia:IGN|IGN]] |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/08/23/spaceworld-2001-magical-vacation-video |title=Spaceworld 2001: Magical Vacation |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref>

The first [[commercials]] to advertise ''Magical Vacation'' featured Japanese singer, model, and actress [[wikipedia:Mika Nakashima|Mika Nakashima]]. In the commercials, Nakashima runs to the shore of a beach at sunset and cries out a promise to save her friends, in reference to the game's events, followed by the slogan, "最も強い武器は友情だ" (The most powerful weapon is friendship.).<ref>{{Cite YouTube |account=83Chrisaaron |title=Magical Vacation (Mika Nakashima) (Long) Japanese Commercial |id=UIYg_Go6dTA |date=December 26, 2020 |access-date=December 22, 2022}}</ref>

===Let's Amigo Events===
{{Main|Let's Amigo Events}}

Two events were held shortly after ''Magical Vacation's'' release in Japan. They would act as large get-togethers for owners of the game, who could meet up and use the game's communication features to unlock special content in their own save files. Casual fans, superfans, cosplayers, and Brownie Brown staff alike appeared for both venues. The first venue was held in Osaka on January 26, 2002, with around 300 participating players. The second one took place in Tokyo on January 27, with a much higher turnout of around 900 players.

==Reception==
''Magical Vacation'' became an instant cult classic among Japanese RPG fans following its release. In the June 2006 issue of ''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Dream|Nintendo Dream]]'', the game was reported to have sold over 270, 000 units exclusively within the country's borders.<ref>''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Dream|Nintendo Dream]]'' June 2006, page 27</ref>

''[[wikipedia:Famitsu|Famitsu]]'' magazine gave ''Magical Vacation'' a platinum score of 35 on release, commending it for its unique battle system, varied and interesting characters, and excellent graphics. However, their feelings were mixed on the complex layouts of dungeons, lack of multiple save slots, and the game's dark storyline.{{cite}}

==Legacy==

===''Sword of Mana''===
[[File:Sword of Mana - MV Reference.png|thumb|right]]
''Sword of Mana'' is a 2003 action RPG codeveloped by Square Enix and Brownie Brown for the Game Boy Advance, and is the fifth release in the ''Seiken Densetsu'' series. Shinichi Kameoka was involved with this game as its character designer. In the heroine's route, she visits a boy in the town of Topple and offers to help him find his missing book. By retrieving the book and returning it to the boy, he will reveal that it is titled ''Magical Vacation'', describing it as a story where students fight with various magic elements. Like ''Magical Vacation'', ''Sword of Mana'' has both a communication feature and an Amigo list, the latter of which unlocks additional content in either players' copies of the game. Curiously enough, in the Japanese version, the boy refers to the book as ''Magic Summer Vacation'', a nod to ''Magical Vacation'''s working title.

===''Super Smash Bros.''===
Characters from ''Magical Vacation'' appear in the ''[[wikipedia:Super_Smash_Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series as collectibles. In ''[[wikipedia:Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Latte (as Mokka), a traveling putty, and a pyrite appear as trophies.<ref>[https://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_SSBB_trophies_(Others) List of SSBB trophies (Others) - SmashWiki].</ref> Additionally, the male and female heroes, Kirsche (spelled as Kirsh), an HP pot, a sparrow, and a traveling putty can be collected as stat-buffing stickers.<ref>[https://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_stickers_(Others) List of stickers (Others) - SmashWiki]</ref>

===''EGGLIA'' series===
''EGGLIA: Legend of the Redcap'' is a role-playing simulation game developed by Brownies for iOS and Android devices. It was released in Japan on April 30, 2017, but its servers were shut down on August 30, 2018, with the game subsequently being retitled to ''EGGLIA: Offline''. In February of 2022, Brownies released an enhanced port of the game for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch]], naming it ''EGGLIA Rebirth''.

Many elements of ''EGGLIA'' can be considered direct callbacks to ''Magical Vacation'', and even Shinichi Kameoka's history with game production as a whole. Some notable examples of these callbacks include, but are not limited to: a new type of [[Pooka (Magical Vacation)|pooka]] [[enigma]], a [[Canin|wolks]] with pants for a hat, and recruitable elemental spirits.

==English fan-translation==
On June 7, 2016, romhacking.net user "magicalpatcher" released an English patch that could be applied to emulated versions of ''Magical Vacation''. For the first time ever, English audiences were able to play the game in their language, whether they were newcomers or fans of ''Magical Starsign''.

While this English fan-translation is playable from beginning to end, it does suffer from minor technical errors. There are some pieces of dialogue that have been skewed due to mistranslation or typos, graphical glitches, instances of dialogue being left untranslated, dialogue-induced softlocking, and the absence of translated credits/post-credits scenes. The most recent update for the English patch was released on September 23, 2019, meaning it is unlikely that these errors will ever be revised.

Hi! I’m MarsAdept.

(Work in Progress)

==Wiki and Other Magical Vacation/Starsign Related Goals or Projects==
*Learn the wiki language. Top priority at the moment is to learn how citations (including footnotes) work.
*Play Magical Vacation, then once I’m finished, play Magical Starsign.

I have more goals in mind but I need to start small. I struggle with thinking too far ahead.
