Pink Sea BGM

Poniko's Room (Light out)

Poniko's Room (Light on)

The Pink Sea, also known as 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.
  

  The Pink Sea in the Manga
• Madotsuki's speed is halved while in the water, 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.

Poniko's Room

• There is a 1 in 64 chance (determined when you enter the house) that switching off the light will trigger the Uboa Event.

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.

Alternatively, it may also be another homage to the Mother series, since it resembles Queen Mary's Magicant from the original Mother game (also known as EarthBound Beginnings in English), and the exterior of Poniko's house resembles the buildings there as well as Queen Mary's castle.
