Tazmily Village, also known as Tazumili Village,[1] is a town in Mother 3, located in the Nowhere Islands. Lucas and his family live in this town, as well as the majority of the residents of the Nowhere Islands. It consists of a main town square with outlying homes around the outside and in Sunshine Forest, with dirt paths and an old-western atmosphere. In Chapter 4, these dirt paths are replaced by roads and houses and businesses are expanded to become a modern setting.

Overview

Tazmily Village is a small quaint town located near the sea, set on the southern part of the Nowhere Islands. It is one of the only settlements on the Nowhere Islands. Lucas's house is located on the south shore of the village. North of Lucas's house is the town square in the center of the village, here is where most of the businesses are located. Within the square is the mayor's house being the north western building, south of it is the Yado Inn. Eastwards leads to a small residential are, which includes Duster's home, and a small pig farm. West of the town is Cerulean Beach which consists of the beach, along with two homes and the jail.

To the north are the Cross Roads. The west road leads to the Sunshine Forest, while north leads to the Sunset Cemetery, and beyond that, the Osohe Castle. Prior to Chapter 4, there us a bell tower with Leder standing beside it.

Beginning in Chapter 4, the town is remodeled into a more modernized appearance akin to the towns of previous games, such as Podunk and Onett. The houses gain a more modern, westernized appearance while many of the dirt paths become cement roads. Notably, the Cross Roads become repurposed as a train station, which is used to access the eastern parts of the islands. Several other changes include the Yado Inn being expanded into a hotel, and several residents' houses being repurposed as businesses, such as mayor's house becoming the city hall, and Caroline's house becoming a bakery. The eastern farmlands become the training grounds for the Pigmask Army, with Wess and Duster's house becoming a retirement home. Cerulean Beach was also redesigned to become more of a tourist destination, with the dirt and grass paths replaced with roads.

Geography

Tazmily Village is the only settlement on the Nowhere Islands. It features many natural surroundings including hills, forests, and the ocean. The village appears to have been set on rather uneven ground, due to the many hills and slopes throughout the village and immediate surrounding area. To the east is a river, and accross from it are hills and a pig farm (later training grounds) south of it. North of the square leads to crossroads, with the cemetery and Osohe Castle to the north, and the forests to the west. West of the square leads to the western shore of the islands, which includes several hills and the beach.

Background

During Leder's speech in Chapter 8, he reveals that the citizens of Tazmily Village are the remaining survivors of a post apocalypse world. When the people of the White Ship arrived on the Nowhere Islands, they built the town of Tazmily Village as a place where everyone can live peacefully, as a way of "starting over". The people erased the memories of the previous world, and filled up the empty spaces with a made-up story about the history of Tazmily Village, with each person was given a role in the "story".

Before blanking their memories, the villagers believed one person should retain the memories of the past as a precaution to prevent the memories of the previous world from returning. The bell ringer, Leder, was chosen to retain the memories of the past due to his unusual height. Every time Leder rang the bell, it was served as a "suggestion" to prevent the villagers' memories from reverting.

History

In Chapter 1

In panic because the Sunshine Forest is on fire, Thomas runs around the entire village in the night and wakes everyone to warn them. After getting Flint, Thomas and Flint get a map from Mapson and head north to do something about the fire.

In Chapter 2

When Duster heads through the Village to infiltrate Osohe Castle for an important item for Wess, he passes Butch who has money, although he doesn't know what is intended to be used for. He knows it is valuable and hides it in the well, a secret he only tells Duster.

In Chapter 3

Upon Fassad and Salsa's arrival to the village, which takes place concurrently with Chapter 2, they bump into Duster, and overhear where Butch hides the money. Salsa and Fassad stay at the Yado Inn during the Chapter, where Fassad sets forth plots for the Pigmask Army. During the first night at the Inn, Fassad heads out while Salsa is supposed to be sleeping. Salsa follows him, where he overhears something about Osohe Castle and a villager sneaking into the castle at night. Fassad then takes the money Butch hid in the well. The next day, Fassad forces Salsa to do tricks and pretend to be a performance duo, threatening him with the Punishizer if he does not comply. Fassad's speech begins telling the villagers he foresees lightning strikes that will soon plague Tazmily Village affecting villagers who do not buy a Happy Box. Salsa is then forced to deliver Happy Boxes to four villagers; Abbot, Abbey, Biff, and Isaac. After infiltrating Osohe Castle, when they return to the village, Fassad sees a fight beginning, and Kumatora uses Telepathy to read Salsa's thoughts. Fassad and Salsa then rest at the Yado Inn another night. That night, Kumatora and Wess rescue Salsa and destroy Fassad's Punishizer, just before Fassad brings his troops. Cornering them, Salsa and his party flee north the the Sunshine Forest.

In Chapter 4

A now-modernized Tazmily is plagued by lightning strikes in homes of people who do not own a Happy Box. Lucas overhears that the bassist of the DCMC looks a lot like Duster. Fassad, giving a speech in the town square, is yelled at by Wess, who is promptly attacked by a Pigmask with a bug-catching net and taken back to the Old Man's Paradise. Lucas visits him, and tells him about the DCMC bassist. Because the Pigmask Army is keeping a close eye on Wess, he asks Lucas to go to Club Titiboo through the Railway and find out if it truly is Duster or not.

In Chapter 7

At the beginning of Chapter 7, Ionia is found tied up and left on a bridge. After being untied, Ionia takes Lucas to Aeolia's house, where the first of the Seven Needles is pulled. Towards the end of the chapter, a large majority of the villagers have moved to New Pork City, and all the remaining villagers are thinking about moving there as well.
