Outside Poniko's house in the Pink Sea

The Pink Sea (also called the Pastel Sea or Pastel Shoal) is an openly-looping deeper location of Madotsuki's many dream worlds.
The whole world is dominantly pink, characterised by several pale islands surrounded by a large expanse of shallow, pastel-colored water.

Points of Interest

Interacting with the balloons will teleport Madotsuki in and out of the water. The pink balloon is connected to the blue balloon, and the green balloon is connected to the yellow balloon.
While in the water your speed is halved, requiring the Frog or Bicycle effect to travel at normal speed.
Poniko's house is situated here, on the southernmost island within a group of conical shapes.

Interpretation

The conical structures on Poniko's island may be Japanese party poppers

Although it is ostensibly a large ocean, the world seems to be styled along the lines of a young girl's birthday party. The dominance of pink and pastel colors, the floating balloons and the conical structures on Poniko's island that resemble Japanese-style party poppers may indicate that this dream is based on Madotsuki's memory of a birthday party.
This may be significant in interpreting the Uboa event and Poniko's relationship to Madotsuki.

Alternitively, it may also be another homage to the Mother (EarthBound) series, since it resembles Queen Mary's Magicant and the exterior of Poniko's house resembles the buildings there as well as Queen Mary's castle.

Connections

The Snow World - Warp through the pink pool in one of the igloos. Return by standing at the point of entrance.
- The Pink Sea
  - Poniko's House - Use the balloons to teleport to the cone island, then enter the hole.
    - Uboa's Trap (One way) - Touch Uboa
