Echo Ridge is the home of Geo Stelar, Hope Stelar, Kelvin Stelar, Bud Bison, Zack Temple, Luna Platz and her parents, Chase Winde among others. It's a small, probably suburban town, and may also have a humid, tropical climate as Geo has never seen snow in his life until the second game. In MegaMan Star Force 2, there are some new features, but some were lost as well, most notably access to the school and Vista Point.
