Map of Purple Polka-Dot World

Purple Polka-Dot World is an area featuring colored pipes, shapes made out of clay, and purple polka-dots. There is almost no life in the world, save for a few birds made of clay that fly ahead out of reach in a single direction endlessly. The world appears distant and mazelike, but is simple to traverse.

The orange pipe leads to a short maze that ends at a small platform with a pyramid on it, which leads to the Sewers when interacted with. The yellow pipe leads to a long and winding path that forms loops and an hourglass, and ends at a platform with a pyramid leading to Neon Path on it. Finally, the green pipe is very short, and leads to a platform with the Scooter effect on it. All three platforms are connected by a pair of blue pipes. After picking up the Scooter effect, the polka-dots in the world's background move faster for the rest of the game.

Everything about the Scooter effect is designed to make the player unconsciously gravitate toward it. When entering the Nexus, Purple Polka-Dot World and Data World are the closest portals on the top row. Data world is a teleport maze, which would seem daunting to most new players, and most people read from top to bottom, which makes Purple Polka-Dot World the most likely first visit. The road to the Scooter is the shortest and most straightforward, and is also colored green - which matches Itsuki's shirt.

Trivia

• Around 2002, a phone operator company in Spain called Amena (now Orange España) had a promo where getting a dual plan with two new cellphones would give you a scooter. Jojogape's cousin and her boyfriend got the plan at the time, and gave him the scooter. It had Amena's branding on it, since it was a promo, with the logo and wheels being green. Jojogape used this scooter as a kid. He wanted something different from a bike that was easier to sprite, and the scooter was special to him, so it was put in the game, and is ridden by Itsuki.
• The hourglass shape is actually the flag of the city of Osaka, which is where Itsuki lives.
  • The Osaka prefecture has a different flag that somewhat resembles Itsuki's tree symbol, but that is a coincidence.
• When the Polka-Dots speed up after picking up the Scooter, they match the speed at which Itsuki rides it. This means that when riding left they seem to not be moving at all, and when riding right they seem to be moving with Itsuki.
