The Pink Sea is an openly-looping deeper location of Madotsuki's many dream worlds.
Features
The Pink Sea is dominantly pink, characterized by several pale islands surrounded by a large expanse of shallow, pastel-colored water. The area was added in version 0.07, although it lacked Poniko's house at the time.
Madotsuki starts the area on a balloon-shaped island with a curving path. Down the path are two coral-like structures faintly resembling chromosomes and a pink balloon. Interacting with the pink balloon will warp Madotsuki to the sea itself, right next to a blue balloon. The water will make Madotsuki walk slower, so it is recommended to bring the Frog or Bicycle effects to walk faster through it. Directly north of the blue balloon is a green balloon, which will warp Madotsuki to another island. When interacting with the green balloon, Madotsuki will teleport right next to a light-green balloon on an island containing conical structures and Poniko's House.
Poniko's House
Poniko's House is composed of only one room that is also largely pink in color. The room contains a closet, bed, bookcase, and desk. A yellow carpet is laid on the floor with a pink pillow near it. Two posters decorate the wall and a small window with purple curtains reveals a starry night sky. The only inhabitant of the room is Poniko, who simply walks around the room and does nothing upon interaction.
A light switch next to the door can change the appearance of the room, making the color scheme mostly black. Flipping this light switch upon entering the room has a 1/64 chance to trigger the Uboa event, which will drastically change the room's appearance and replace Poniko with Uboa as a roar-like sound replaces the joyful music playing in the room. The closet will change to resemble a face with strabismic eyes, the contents of the room's posters will change, and both the window and carpet will change to have green eyes on them. Interacting with Uboa here will lead to Uboa's Trap.

Trivia
- In real life, a lake colored entirely pink exists, known as Lake Retba.
- The actual background music for the Pink Sea is faster. In-game, it is slowed to 60% its original speed.
Theories
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, the square island vaguely resembling a gift box, 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 meaning of Poniko and the Uboa event, as they inhabit the Pink Sea.
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), and the exterior of Poniko's house resembles the buildings there as well as Queen Mary's castle.
