Mountainview Christian Reformed Church is the largest church in Grimsby, Ontario, and the largest Christian Reformed Church in Canada. The church began as an offshoot of the Fruitland Christian Reformed Church. It was built on the corner of Bartlett Road and Regional Road 81 in 1967. An addition followed some years later.
The church continued to grow quite rapidly until, in 1986, a segment of the church left to form Providence Christian Reformed Church in neighbouring Beamsville. In 2000, under the leadership of Rev. Jerry J. Hoytema, Mountainview's expanding congregation necessitated a new church building. The new church was built a minute away on Regional Road 81, and the old building was subsequently demolished to make way for Shalom Evergreen Terrace, a retirement complex affiliated with the church, and an adjoining Christian nursing home, Shalom Manor.
Following the retirement of Pastor Jerry Hoytema in 2004, Mountainview began a search for a new pastor, which culminated in the arrival of Pastor Kevin Stieva in 2006.
Currently, Mountainview attempts to follow a blended worship style, mingling contemporary and traditional worship. It subscribes to the doctrinal standards of the Christian Reformed Church in Canada. Mountainview's motto is "Reach Up, Reach In, Reach Out", referring to its focus on God, the church congregation, and the community at large.

This is a list of locations that appear in the Nintendo Entertainment System RPG Mother.
Magicant
Magicant is discovered early on in this game by the lead character, Ninten. After using his telepathy ability on a strange rock-like structure marked "XX" in a cave, he is transported to this mysterious "dream world."
This land plays a very important role throughout the rest of Mother. In Magicant, Ninten and his friends first visit an extremely helpful town located there with free hotels and hospitals. It also has three item stores which sell very useful items. Upon leaving the town area the party fights various strange enemies unique to Magicant. The party will also meet the mysterious Flying Man, a limited supply of bird-like creatures that will help join the team in battle until they die. (Described further in Magicant in EarthBound below).
The party will visit a palace which is home to the sad Queen Mary, who is Ninten's great-grandmother Maria that disappeared in the 1900s. All the different music the party collects throughout the game is part of a tune that Queen Mary is trying to remember. When Queen Mary remembers the tone, she and Magicant disappear, and Ninten is able to use the song to defeat Giegue.
To leave Magicant, the party must adventure through a well maze. In this well, they will find the Onyx Hook. This item, once in their inventory, will warp them back to Magicant from wherever they are in the game. This is very useful to get the party out of sticky situations. When the player are lost in a dungeon or low in HP, PP and party members are passed out, the player can warp to Magicant to escape and recover.
It is also found in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System RPG EarthBound.

Donkey Kong Island (AKA DK Island or the DK Isles) is the fictional home of Donkey Kong, his family, friends, and several enemies. It was created by Rareware for Nintendo and first appeared in 1994's Donkey Kong Country.
Bio
While it's considered a tropical island, snowfall reaches its higher elevations. This mountain also features a desert area.
Locations
Among the known areas on Donkey Kong Island are:
* Kongo Jungle: The largest jungle on the island, and home to Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong, and the majority of their animal friends. It was the first world in Donkey Kong Country and has appeared in many Donkey Kong and Mario games since.
* Monkey Mines: Mines that border on ancient Kremling-built temples.
* Vine Valley: A temperate forest along the cliff-side to Gorilla Glacier. Kremling temples are also built here, as well as an ape-constructed tree town. There's even a small tropical jungle nestled here.
* Gorilla Glacier: The snowy peak of Donkey Kong Island. Among the snow and ice caverns is another tree town.
* Kremkroc Industries, Inc.: This was once a lush area on the island, but when Kremlings built their high-pollutant factories, most of the vegetation died off. Famous for its green-colored lake. It can be assumed that Kremkroc has since been shut down. However, Kremling presence is common.
* Chimp Caverns: Caverns nestled into the mountainside of DK Island. Mines are also prevalent here.
* Kremlantis: The heart of the ancient Kremling temples, Kremlantis was an offshore mini-island to itself. Unfortantely for the Kremlings, it partially submerged generations ago.
* Monkey Mountains: High-reaching mountains that touch the clouds.
* Chimpanzee Clouds: The clouds that can be accessed from Monkey Mountains. There are several floating platforms and devices set against the backdrop of the sky that allow for (risky) movement.
* Big Ape City: The only urban part of the island to be found. Skyscrapers, apartment complexes, and construction sites make up the city. Also known as the Big-City or Big City.
* The Northern Kremisphere: While the Northern Kremisphere is considered a location in itself, many feel that it's actually a territory of DK Island. If so, it would be a separate landmass from the main island.
Donkey Kong 64 Stages
This game featured completely different levels than the original Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land, with many levels taking place on both DK Island and the newly-rebuilt Crocodile Isle. However, most of the DK Island stages parallel some area that actually existed in the original SNES game (Examples: Kongo Jungle to Jungle Japes, Vine Valley to Fungi Forest, Gorilla Glacier to Crystal Caves, etc.).
Neighboring Islands
There are several neighboring islands of Donkey Kong Island. These include:
* Crocodile Isle: The home and birthplace of the Kremlings, it was accidentally destroyed by Diddy and Dixie Kong at the conclusion of Donkey Kong Country 2. When it was standing, it was the closest neighbor to DK Island, and therefore meant frequent Kong/Kremling interaction. The Kremlings now primarily live on DK Island. In Donkey Kong 64 Crocodile Island returned, this time in a much more mechanized form.
Other Appearances
In the animated series based on the game, Donkey Kong Island was called Kongo Bongo Island and looked like a crescent island rather than the shape of Donkey Kong's head. However, it is believed to be the same island, but with a different name. Like Dinosaur Land in the , some location names were different on the show. For instance, Gorilla Glacier was called the White Mountains.
