Sakura Ruins is an area accessible from Haunted Head World.

Map of Sakura Ruins.

Features

Sakura Ruins is a world filled with sakura trees. The first section of the area, where Urotsuki will arrive from Haunted Head World, is a linear blue pathway with smaller trees. Abstract shadowy shapes with red facial features can be seen throughout. The panorama behind the area is a white creature on a pink patterned area, with irregular grey dots blotting some of it out. At the end of this pathway is a cherry with legs, identical to the one leading back to Haunted Head World. Interacting with it takes Urotsuki to the second and main area of the world.

In the second section, the area is significantly more open. The trees are larger and now float in the air. Several NPCs, which appear to be humanoid pink flowers wearing clothes, walk about the area, as do a couple of shorter plant creatures. Stone slabs and pillars dot the area. Reaching the edges of the map reveals a bright blue void outside, perhaps a sky or the sea.

The Teru Teru Bōzu effect's action cannot be used in this area. Using the Maiko effect here causes it to begin raining and rapidly gain a pink tint. The flower humanoids will rapidly spin and move more erratically, following Urotsuki, while this is happening. Interacting with the flower people will make a different chime than usual. Equipping the Chainsaw effect causes the centre of their heads to become black instead of white.

South of the entrance is a pink vending machine with bunny ears, displaying a rabbit on its screen. There are two stick figures standing on either side of it. This vending machine only sells food that is on a stick; equipping the Bunny Ears effect causes the bunny on the screen to move faster, and halves the price of buying. Further east from this vending machine is a horseshoe-shaped hole in the ground, with blinking lights arranged evenly within it. In the inner area, there is a floating tree above a patch of pink leaves, and a phone booth with a marking of a telephone on it. Interacting with it displays a though bubble with an image of the head of the Telephone effect in it. If the cutscene in Bloodsoaked Pathways has been viewed, there will be a pink object nearby that leads to Hat World.

Southeast of the hole is a single smaller sakura tree, rooted to the ground unlike the floating ones. Interacting with it transports Urotsuki to Petal Passage.

Immediately northeast of the hole in the ground is a green circle in a purple square. Southwest of the hole, near the edge of the map, is an inverted version of the same thing. Interacting with either circle leads to the Colored Shapes Zone.

Petal Passage

Petal Passage is a linear path connecting Sakura Ruins to Bloodsoaked Pathways. The first platform contains a sakura tree leading back to the main area. To the east, the path is made of pink petals, with trees lining both sides. The path then transitions into being made up of much smaller particles; in the middle of this section is a line of tiles that teleports Urotsuki back to the beginning of the passage. The Penguin effect must be used to slide past them. Continuing from there, the music slows down, the trees disappear, and the pink becomes distorted, with red seeping into it. At the end of the passage, the music completely changes into an ominous ambient noise, and crimson red trees become visible. The ending platform has a pair of bones on it, which transport Urotsuki to Bloodsoaked Pathways when she walks between them.

Colored Shapes Zone

The Colored Shapes Zone is a small area with either a purple or green background, depending on where you entered from. To reveal a set of triangles, you can interact with the circle. You will then need to interact with a random triangle to create another set of triangles. You can find another random triangle in that set to switch over to the other colour and do it again.

After revealing two sets of purple triangles, interacting with the purple circle will lead back to the Sakura Ruins main area.

After revealing two sets of green triangles, interacting with the green circle will lead to Everblue City. This connection is one-way.
