Mars is the fourth planet in the Sol System, which in Spore can be found as an easter egg. It is a temperate rocky planet with mostly plain terrain, except for geological formations like Olympus Mons, Valles Marineris and the Tharsis bulge. If a player looks closely in fact, many of the planet's features will be seen, except for the polar ice caps due to the fact that terrain in Spore is mostly one colour. Although it has no surface water, using planet-sculpting tools reveals water underground.
Trivia[]
- In reality, Mars has two satellites: Phobos and Deimos. They are not depicted in the game since they are neither spherical nor comparable in size to the Moon, Ganymede or Titan.
- When terraformed to T3, Mars is covered in red grass, much like H. G. Wells's fictional depiction in his novel The War of the Worlds.
- The in-game version lacks the well-known "face." This is accurate because the real formation is very small relative to the planet.
