==Accessing the area==
Accessing the Neon Highway can be somewhat difficult, as typically it would be quite rare to encounter it during normal gameplay. The easiest way to access the area is to leave the main inter-section area of the Highway on the upper road to the east, pass one section of the Highway road and then go back and forth between the two screens '''at least''' 20 times. When you return to the inter-section, you should arrive at the Neon Highway instead.


It can take a while, but simply moving back and forth from the main Highway to the northeastern side highway will take you to this little slice of poorly play-tested heaven.

==Features==
The Neon Highway appears to have the same layout as the normal Highway, but features a bright outline art style somewhat reminiscent of [[Geometry World]]. The background music has been replaced by dissonant, wobbly noise and static, and the area is somewhat difficult to navigate due to errors in the map's tileset collision data.
This area has a similar layout to the regular version of the Highway inter-section, with neon versions of the shop, taxi, benches and the bathroom all accessible. The main difference is that the area is surrounded by neon silhouette versions of boy Urotsuki that block most of the area and cannot be killed with the [[Yume 2kki:Effects#Chainsaw|Chainsaw]] effect to gain access. Some of the neon silhouettes flash, interacting with these silhouettes will transport you to a different part of the map, allowing you to explore areas which initially appear inaccessible. Urotsuki also cannot cross the dotted road markings in some areas.
 
The neon shop contains a neon version of the shopkeeper, however all other elements of the shop have been replaced with neon outlines of flames. Occasionally, the doors will refuse to open when trying to leave the shop, usually only leaving you the option to walk out of one seemingly random door.
 
On the tiles to the right and left of the outside doors, Urotsuki can walk up the side of the shop and onto the roof. This can be used to reach a flashing figure on the roof or either the boy's or girl's bathroom. The flashing figure leads to a closed off area containing a neon vending machine with glitched appearance and a walking shadow figure to the left. The shadow figure will move toward Urotsuki like a chaser, but will be unable to cross the road markings. There is another flashing figure to teleport Urotsuki back.


There are numerous multicolored neon silhouettes resembling Urotsuki in the northern portion of the area, some of which will turn to face her when interacted with. Two of these stand side by side and rapidly flash different colors, but are not accessible thanks to the map's poor collision.
The boy's bathroom is accessible while using the [[Yume 2kki:Effects#Boy|Boy]] effect. The cubicle in the boy's bathroom connects to the girl's, and vice versa. Upon exiting either bathroom Urotsuki will appear on the other side. Whilst inside, if you open any of the cubicle doors an infinite number of neon silhouettes will walk out in a similar fashion to the [[Yume 2kki:Events#Giant Cloning Room|Giant Cloning Room]] event.


The central shop behind them can be entered, but must be accessed by going around the perimeter of the area onto the roof of the building due to collision errors. Inside is a neon version of the shop from the Highway, complete with a neon version of the shopkeeper himself. Leaving the building will take you back to the normal Highway.
The bottom area is accessible by moving to the right from the entrance, looping around the other side of the map, where interacting with one of the flashing figures will teleport Urotsuki to the bottom area. It is advisable to use the [[Yume 2kki:Effects#Bat|Bat]] effect to be able to return to this spot, as flashing figures are one-way.


Midway down the area to the east of the parking spaces is a small building with a face on its roof, which is unblocked, unlike the regular highway's version. It can be accessed from the roof like the shop, but only plays a rattling sound when interacting with the door.
Along the bottom of the map is a neon version of the taxi. Unlike the regular taxi which transports you to [[Yume 2kki:Purple World|Purple World]], entering the taxi will take you to a sectioned off area, with a taxi upon what looks like a neon version of the pillars found in the [[Yume 2kki:Underwater Amusement Park|Underwater Amusement Park]]. Using some effects here shows different objects doing fast animations. A shadow of Urotsuki is at the top along with a door, which leads to another sectioned off room. In this room, there is a yellow NPC which gives [[Yume 2kki:Menu Themes|Menu Theme #90]] and drops you off at the [[Yume 2kki:Highway|Highway]] upon interaction. This connection is a one-way.


To the south, the various other paths leading out of the central Highway hub are blocked by numerous different things, ranging from more luminous silhouettes of Urotsuki, to odd dancing non-neon traffic cones, complete with a moving ''Under Construction'' sign, to a construction barrier that chases you around.
Going back west from the bottom area will loop to a different part of the bottom area. Urotsuki may encounter the shadow chaser here as well.  


Trying to bypass the barriers and take any of the roads out of town by walking on the badly collision-checked walls results in the road oddly looping back another road at the diagonally-opposite end of the area.

The Neon Highway is a hidden area accessible from the Highway. Comparable to the Moonside level in Earthbound, the Neon Highway is an alternative version of the inter-section area of the Highway.

Map of the Neon Highway.

Accessing the area

Accessing the Neon Highway can be somewhat difficult, as typically it would be quite rare to encounter it during normal gameplay. The easiest way to access the area is to leave the main inter-section area of the Highway on the upper road to the east, pass one section of the Highway road and then go back and forth between the two screens at least 20 times. When you return to the inter-section, you should arrive at the Neon Highway instead.

Features

This area has a similar layout to the regular version of the Highway inter-section, with neon versions of the shop, taxi, benches and the bathroom all accessible. The main difference is that the area is surrounded by neon silhouette versions of boy Urotsuki that block most of the area and cannot be killed with the Chainsaw effect to gain access. Some of the neon silhouettes flash, interacting with these silhouettes will transport you to a different part of the map, allowing you to explore areas which initially appear inaccessible. Urotsuki also cannot cross the dotted road markings in some areas.

The neon shop contains a neon version of the shopkeeper, however all other elements of the shop have been replaced with neon outlines of flames. Occasionally, the doors will refuse to open when trying to leave the shop, usually only leaving you the option to walk out of one seemingly random door.

On the tiles to the right and left of the outside doors, Urotsuki can walk up the side of the shop and onto the roof. This can be used to reach a flashing figure on the roof or either the boy's or girl's bathroom. The flashing figure leads to a closed off area containing a neon vending machine with glitched appearance and a walking shadow figure to the left. The shadow figure will move toward Urotsuki like a chaser, but will be unable to cross the road markings. There is another flashing figure to teleport Urotsuki back.

The boy's bathroom is accessible while using the Boy effect. The cubicle in the boy's bathroom connects to the girl's, and vice versa. Upon exiting either bathroom Urotsuki will appear on the other side. Whilst inside, if you open any of the cubicle doors an infinite number of neon silhouettes will walk out in a similar fashion to the Giant Cloning Room event.

The bottom area is accessible by moving to the right from the entrance, looping around the other side of the map, where interacting with one of the flashing figures will teleport Urotsuki to the bottom area. It is advisable to use the Bat effect to be able to return to this spot, as flashing figures are one-way.

Along the bottom of the map is a neon version of the taxi. Unlike the regular taxi which transports you to Purple World, entering the taxi will take you to a sectioned off area, with a taxi upon what looks like a neon version of the pillars found in the Underwater Amusement Park. Using some effects here shows different objects doing fast animations. A shadow of Urotsuki is at the top along with a door, which leads to another sectioned off room. In this room, there is a yellow NPC which gives Menu Theme #90 and drops you off at the Highway upon interaction. This connection is a one-way.

Going back west from the bottom area will loop to a different part of the bottom area. Urotsuki may encounter the shadow chaser here as well.

Directions

Trivia

  • This area most likely takes inspiration from Earthbound's Moonside.
    • Additionally, the NPC that gives you Menu Theme #90 resembles the Mani-Mani Statue, which is also found within the Moonside level.
