The Mall (デパート, Department Store) is a deep location found by going through the elevator in Graffiti World.

Features

The Mallis a black-floored, purple-walled complex resembling a mall or store. The Mall's layout is quite strange, having several pathways like a maze with walls facing diagonally, similar to the Checkered Tile Path. The location's music is very eerie and atmospheric, giving the location a slight creepiness. There are multiple floors of the Mall, which are entered through escalators:

Elevator Room

Upon entering the Mall from the elevator in Graffiti World, there will be two escalator entrances. One leads to the main floor, which contains entrances to different rooms. The other escalator will usually be blocked by a traffic cone, though there is a 1/4 chance that the cone will be absent and the escalator can be used to get to the Mall's rooftop. If the player has entered this room through the elevator in Underground World, the cone will never be present.

The background music in this room is the same as Shield Folk World's music, albeit played at half the speed.

Main Floor

The main floor of the Mall is an almost labyrinthine area full of people-like NPCs known as the Mall Shoppers. This are also has two escalators: one leading back to the elevator room and one leading to a room with a manhole that takes Madotsuki to a path in the Dense Woods where one of the two frogs giving the Frog effect resides.

A doorway in the main floor's southwest section will lead to an area resembling a reception room with strange posters on the wall. E-Man will be here, sitting on a sofa, while a lunatic Toriningen works at the desk. Despite being in its lunatic state, the Toriningen can be peacefully interacted with to change Madotsuki's menu theme. Going into the room left of the reception room will lead to a smaller room with a framed picture and O-Man, who will be playing a chiptune song. Next to him is a flute, which can be picked up to gain the Flute effect.

Another doorway in the main floor's east section will lead to a small room with a sofa chair, a pit filled with red liquid, and Tokuto-kun, an NPC that can be interacted with to make them tip over and spill red liquid from their head. Tokuto-kun will remain standing in place once interacted with, so it is possible to get stuck in this room without waking up if they were interacted with near the doorway, unless the player has the Knife or Medamaude effect. The sofa chair in this room can also be sat on.

Mall Rooftop

Going through the second escalator in the elevator room normally blocked by a traffic cone will lead to a room that leads to the Mall's rooftop. It is a small area with a background consisting of a cityscape, mountain range, and clear sky accompanied by exhilarating music. A black cat in this area can appear either on top of the entrance that the player came from on some air conditioning units next to the entrance, with there being a 1/2 chance of it appearing in either position. There is also a 1/64 chance the cat will appear on the main level, allowing the player to interact with it.

If the player has the Witch effect, they can fly off the edge of the rooftop and activate the Witch's Flight event. This event and the rooftop share the same music, with the rooftop having its music slowed down 30% from the event's music.

Directions

The Nexus → Graffiti World → The Mall

Trivia

The picture used for the Mall Rooftop's background.

A few people on the image board Uboachan discovered that the background on the rooftop is a real picture taken from the top of Senkoji Temple, a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. Link to thread (archived).
If debug mode is enabled, the player will always initiate the Witch's Flight event when they walk off the roof, even if they don't have the Witch effect.
In a Thumbs.db file of version 0.04 of the game, there are two images of earlier versions of E-Man's room: one that looks completely different and another with E-Man's sofa on the side of the map for some reason.

An earlier version of the room, reconstructed by Vasili of #LaInvestigaciónYN.
Another earlier version.

Theories

The Mall is speculated to resemble a hospital setting rather than a mall. This is especially apparent in the Mall's rooms.

The posters in the Mall's rooms are sometimes speculated to resemble medical diagrams or pictures of body parts. The most notable ones appear in E-Man's room, which are referenced in theories relating to Madotsuki's sexuality or past. The posters in the room have been noted to resemble acts of fellatio, which suggests that Madotsuki is familiar with the imagery. It is possible that this suggests that she has experienced or witnessed these sexual acts somewhere, which has made an impression on her and been mixed in with lots of other things in her mind. The poster in Tokuto-kun's room also resembles a diagram of sperm cells surrounding an egg cell, which could relate to the E-Man room posters.

Some of the Mall's residents appear to reference the hospital theme as well. The Mall Shoppers grow distorted when interacted with, often twisting their bodies in unusual ways or having visual physical injuries (such as having open stomachs or twisted heads). Tokuto-kun also leaks a red liquid from their head, which may allude to a head injury. E-Man, while they do not appear to have any injuries, sneezes as they sit on the sofa.

+The Mallis a black-floored, purple-walled complex resembling a mall or store. The Mall's layout is quite strange, having several pathways like a maze with walls facing diagonally, similar to the [[Yume Nikki Wiki:The Checkered Tile Path|Checkered Tile Path]]. The location's music is very eerie and atmospheric, giving the location a slight creepiness. There are multiple floors of the Mall, which are entered through escalators:
-===Main Area and Stairway===
-When the player first enters the Mall, they are greeted with a stairway with an escalator leading to the main floor with the [[Mall Shoppers]] and the entrances to the different rooms listed below, and another one. The BGM here is the same one as [[Shield-Folk World]], but set at 50% speed. There is a 1/4 chance that there will be a traffic cone blocking the second escalator that leads to another small room leading to the rooftop, where the [[Events#The_Witch.27s_Flight|Witch's Flight]] event can be accessed. However, if the player arrived from [[Underground World]], then the event will always be accessible. The main level also contains another escalator going up that leads to a room with an entrance to the [[Frog]] Path section of the [[Dense_Woods#Dense_Woods_B|Dense Woods B]], which leads to the [[Teleport Maze]]. On the other side of the 'outcropping' where the escalator is found there exists a small cavity in the wall that the player can walk behind, which can lead to several visual glitches of effects are used, such as midget.
-===Tokuto-kun's Room===
+===Elevator Room===
-One room, located near the bottom right of the map, is a small room with a chair that can be sat on and a poster on the wall. A large pool of red, bubbly liquid is found on the right side. It is populated only by a small pillar with limbs and eyes, named [[Tokuto-kun]]. [[File:Tokuto.png|left]] When it is interacted with, it tips over, spilling an endless stream of red liquid onto the ground from of a cavity in its head. It remains motionless after interaction, so it is possible to be stuck in the room if the interaction occurred at the doorway.
+Upon entering the Mall from the elevator in Graffiti World, there will be two escalator entrances. One leads to the main floor, which contains entrances to different rooms. The other escalator will usually be blocked by a traffic cone, though there is a 1/4 chance that the cone will be absent and the escalator can be used to get to the Mall's rooftop. If the player has entered this room through the elevator in [[Yume Nikki Wiki:Underground World|Underground World]], the cone will never be present.
-===E-Man's Room===
+The background music in this room is the same as [[Yume Nikki Wiki:Shield-Folk World|Shield Folk World]]'s music, albeit played at half the speed.
-Another room, located in the bottom left of the map, houses a harmless, lunatic [[Toriningen]] sitting behind a counter and [[E-Man]] relaxing on a sofa. Interacting with the Toriningen will cause the color of your menu to change. E-Man frowns whenever the [[Effects#Cat_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.AD.E3.81.93.EF.BC.89|Cat]] effect is used (similarly to the [[Train Passengers]]) and even sneezes if you stay long enough inside the room. The BGM in this room is the title screen theme at 50% speed.
-[[File:Malleman.png|center|320px|E-Man and the nice Toriningen.]]
-===O-Man's Room===
+===Main Floor===
-Also known as the '''Flute Room''' by some due to the [[Effects#Flute_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.B5.E3.81.88.EF.BC.89|Flute]] effect being located here. To obtain it, the player must enter the room in the bottom left in the map (the room where the harmless lunatic Toriningen and E-Man are found), then go to through the doorway on the left. The Flute is found on the ground next to [[O-Man]], who sits on a couch and plays music. Killing him with the [[Effects#Knife_.2F_Kitchen_Knife.EF.BC.88.E3.81.BB.E3.81.86.E3.81.A1.E3.82.87.E3.81.86.EF.BC.89|Knife]] effect will stop the music abruptly, and using the [[Effects#Stoplight_.2F_Traffic_Light_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.97.E3.82.93.E3.81.94.E3.81.86.EF.BC.89|Stoplight]] also stops it.
+The main floor of the Mall is an almost labyrinthine area full of people-like NPCs known as the [[Yume Nikki Wiki:Mall Shoppers|Mall Shoppers]]. This are also has two escalators: one leading back to the elevator room and one leading to a room with a manhole that takes Madotsuki to a path in the [[Yume Nikki Wiki:Dense Woods|Dense Woods]] where one of the two [[Yume Nikki Wiki:Frog|frogs]] giving the [[Yume Nikki Wiki:Effects#Frog (かえる）|Frog]] effect resides.
-[[File:Flute_room.png|frame|center|The Flute Room.]]
-There are some illustrations on the rooms' walls, containing scenes of odd imagery. The gallery below consists of fanmade enlargements of the art.
+A doorway in the main floor's southwest section will lead to an area resembling a reception room with strange posters on the wall.

 ===Mall Rooftop===
-Going through the second escalator in the main stairways (1/4 chance) leads the player to a room that leads to the Mall Rooftop. It is a small area with a backgrounds containing mountains and a clear sky, with exhilarating music. There is a [[The Black Cat|black cat]] in this area that can appear either on top of the entrance that the player came from or on some boxes next to it, with there being a 1/2 chance of either occurring. There is also a 1/64 chance (the same as the [[Uboa]] event, curiously) of the cat appearing on the main level, allowing the player to be able to interact with it. If the player has the [[Effects#Witch_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.BE.E3.81.98.E3.82.87.EF.BC.89|Witch]] effect, they can use it and walk off the roof to activate the [[Events#The_Witch.27s_Flight|Witch's Flight]] event. The event and the location share the same music, with it being set to 70% while on the roof itself.
