ASCII Symbol Zone is a world accessible from the floppy disk in Vivid Blue Flatlands.
Features
This world is made majorly out of ASCII characters, serving both as decoration and as the background. You can also find many keys, which work as small chairs for Urotsuki to sit on. Stepping over the 青 (Blue) character will take Urotsuki back to Vivid Blue Flatlands.
There are three pop-up windows across the world, two of them being references to Restored Character World and Scribble Notepad, while the other one has a picture of a cola bottle, with the text "ピュアコーラ" (Pure Cola) written next to it. This last pop-up serves functionally as a vending machine. North of the vending machine pop-up is a link that reads "ワイン" (Wine) which leads to Wine Cellar when stepped on.
Going west from the Vivid Blue Flatlands entrance, you will find a partially blue spacebar, interacting with it will grant you with Menu Theme #97 and System Sounds #10. Interacting with the key again will show the text {] [ SYSTEM = UPDATED ] [} and will automatically equip both the menu theme and system sounds. North and slightly west from the space key is a mouse; interacting it will grant you a Cursor mask, whose appearance can be changed by interacting with the nearby grey key.
Slightly northeast from the Cursor mask is a link that says "バーコード" (Barcode), stepping over it leads to Barcode Plains. West from this link is another link reading "シンク" (Sink), stepping on it leads to the Sink Catalog. Southwest of the Cursor mask, stepping on a link depicting "ソファ" (Sofa) leads to Demoscene Tapestry Club.
Scattered through the world are two coloured keys that will change the world's colour scheme after being interacted with. One of them is west from the mouse, which will tint the world purple, and the other one is north and slightly west from the Vivid Blue Flatlands entrance, which will turn the trees orange. Both keys can be interacted with again to remove their tint.
