The Invisible Maze is a series of different themed locations Urotsuki must travel through to get to the Invisible effect. It is accessible from the Bowling Zone.
Features
Entering from the bowling zone, Urotsuki will be transported to a dark area with a yellow and purple plant-like object at the top of the screen. She can either use the Penguin effect to slide straight to it, or she can simply move upwards, which will teleport her around on different sides of the screen, by which she will eventually reach the plant.
Interacting with the plant will take Urotsuki to an area atop an over-saturated cliff where a girl in a beanie can be found looking out over the vast ocean below. If she uses the Chainsaw effect on the girl, the music will go silent and the scene will darken.
After killing the girl, traveling back downwards through the dark teleporting area will instead take Urotsuki to a snowy monochrome area surrounded by a multitude of geometric patterns where an NPC called Yukata can be found.
There are four pathways here leading off in different directions from the initial circular area. All of the paths appear to loop back around to the same area, but if Urotsuki travels in the direction that Yukata is facing each time she returns to the circle, she will eventually reach a different area to the north where there is a purple silhouette of Urotsuki that will give her the Invisible effect if she interacts with it.
If Urotsuki travels back down to Yukata after obtaining the effect, there will be a small wormhole in the center of the circular area which will take her back to the beginning of the Bowling Zone.

Trivia
- When this area was first introduced, the Invisible effect required solving a puzzle that took place in space, true to the area's previous name, the Space Maze, which can only be completed with the Spacesuit effect, and was guarded by a barrier that needed to be chainsawed. This puzzle consisted of a 3x3 layout connected by red glass tiles with portals on each section. It had two invisible passages that can be traversed with the Spacesuit equipped, entering it with other effects will take Urotsuki back to the entrance to the puzzle area. The goal of the puzzle was to remove all the red glass tiles by traversing them, where using the portals can reset the puzzle back to its initial state. Upon completion, a wormhole will appear in the center section, leading to the Invisible effect.
- The puzzle mentioned above was removed in 0.091i due to being too difficult. It was then replaced with a spiral structure, which was then changed into its current appearance at one point, prior to its complete removal in 0.096a, where the Invisible effect is now located where it is, right as soon as you make your way through the pathways in Yukata's area.
