The Neon Highway (狂P=ZONE, Kyō P=ZONE, Mad P=ZONE) is a hidden area that can be accessed from the Highway . Comparable to the Moonside level in Earthbound, the Neon Highway is an alternative version of the inter-section area of the Highway. Currently the area is a dead end, with the only way of leaving is by either waking up or using the Eyeball Bomb effect.
Accessing the area
Accessing the Neon Highway can be somewhat difficult, as typically it would be very rare to encounter it during normal gameplay. The easiest way to access the area is to leave the inter-section area of the Highway through either exit on the western side of the map. After passing one section of the Highway road, go back and forth between the two screens at least 18 times, then return to the inter-section by at which point you should gain access to the top section of the Neon Highway (make sure not to go back and forth between the inter-section area and the Highway road, as travelling from the inter-section to other areas of the Highway resets the variable required to gain access to the Neon Highway). Very rarely, Urotsuki will instead enter through the bottom section of the Neon Highway, however this will only happen when variable 0603 (this variable allows access to the Neon Highway if the variable's value is higher than 1335, which increases a random amount between 68 - 78 every time you go back and forth on the highway) is exactly 1335.
Features
This area has a similar layout to the regular version of the Highway inter-section, however the area is surrounded by neon silhouettes of Urotsuki that cannot be moved or killed with the Chainsaw, making it very difficult to navigate. In the top section, there is a neon version of the shop that can be entered, a bathroom section that is blocked off (although the area is accessible by walking on broken tileset and gaining access to the roof) and by walking across the looped road section that Urotsuki entered can gain access to an area with a large neon bench. The neon shop contains a neon version of the shopkeeper, however all other elements of the shop have been replaced with neon outlines of flames. Occasionally, the doors will refuse to open trying to leave the shop, usually only leaving you the option to walk out of the same door you walked in from. The bathroom area is mostly similar to the regular version, however upon opening any of the cubicle doors an infinite number of neon silhouettes will walk out in a similar fashion to the Giant Cloning Room event. Along the bottom of the map is a neon version of the taxi. Unlike the regular taxi which transports you to Purple World, entering the taxi will take you to a sectioned off area, with a taxi upon what looks like a neon version of the pillars found in the Underwater Amusement Park .
If you equip the Rainbow effect, some of the neon silhouettes will begin to flash. Interacting with these silhouettes will transport you to a different part of the map, allowing you to explore areas which initially appear inaccessible.
